😳 Early 2025, a man claiming to be terminally ill said he had only 120 hours left to live… before disappearing with nearly $500,000 in crypto.
Presenting himself as disabled and dying, he explained that he wanted to launch a memecoin called 120 Hours to leave a financial legacy for his family.
Very quickly, the story deeply moved the crypto community.
On Pumpfun and X, the token went viral. Driven by emotion and compassion, thousands of users invested in the project.
In less than 72 hours, the market cap surpassed $534,000.
But on the fifth day, everything collapsed: liquidity was drained, funds were scattered across multiple anonymous wallets, accounts were deleted… and silence fell across the digital stage
The so-called dying man turned out to be just another scammer exploiting investors’ emotions.
In crypto, trading with emotions can sometimes become a very expensive lesson 😅
