Summary

Aquabot was a Solana-based Telegram trading bot project that raised approximately 21,770 SOL (roughly $4.65 million USD) through a presale before alleged operators drained the presale wallet and routed funds through intermediary addresses to instant exchanges in early September 2025. The incident drew heightened scrutiny because several prominent Solana ecosystem entities, including Meteora, Helius, Dialect, SYMMIO, and QuillAudits, had publicly promoted or audited the project prior to the alleged rug pull. No law enforcement action or fund recovery has been publicly reported as of the time of this investigation.
