The 'WallStreetBets' brand has been exploited in at least two distinct crypto fraud incidents: a 2021 Telegram pre-mine scam using a fake 'WallStreetBets – Crypto Pumps' channel that stole over $2.1 million in BNB and ETH, and a 2023 Ethereum meme token (WSB Coin) that surged to a $50 million market cap before insiders allegedly dumped $635,000 worth of tokens within days of launch, collapsing the price by over 90%. Neither token was authorized by Reddit or the r/WallStreetBets subreddit, and ZachXBT publicly identified the alleged perpetrators in the 2023 incident.
avoid.net/coinspaid→62/100[CAUTIONARY]CoinsPaid (operating legal entity Dream Finance OÜ, headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia) is a business-to-business crypto payment processing platform founded in 2014 by Max Krupyshev and Pavel Kashuba. The company suffered two confirmed external cyberattacks — a $37.3 million theft in July 2023 and a $7.5 million breach in January 2024 — both attributed to third-party attackers with the first definitively linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group by blockchain analysts and the FBI; client funds were reported unaffected in both incidents. The company is currently navigating significant regulatory uncertainty under the EU's MiCA framework after losing its legacy Estonian FIU licence and suspending operations through its Lithuanian entity, while its CASP application in Estonia remains pending as of mid-2026.
