I wish I had the time and the knowledge how this scam was implemented. Their blockchain must have some sort of smart contract which somehow denies transactions before receiving more and instantaneously exchange it to Bitcoin and send it to the scammer, I assume?
I also really really want to know who made this scam because if the programming time & effort he could have easily planned a Walmart heist. And if it's him or some script kiddy? Just out of curiosity on how professionalized this industry already is.
- They put some tokens in the wallet worth some money.
- When someone thinks they hit the lotto, they add ETH or whatever gas they need to transfer the tokens out.
- As soon as you add gas, it’s immediately sent to their private wallet.
- They code it in so no way around it.
Something like that.

I saw this last year but with another shitcoin. Watched the wallet for a couple of months, victims getting ETH stolen while the fees were very high, until the activity stopped.
Clever scam, and interesting too in that everyone that lost money thought they were ripping someone else off. I don't support it, but I didn't feel very bad for them either.

That's pretty clever, ngl
