Security firm AegisWeb3 sounded the alarm about a suspected exit scam on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), warning users to be cautious of the token Lucky Star Currency ($LSC), which has dropped in price by 97% in a matter of hours.
The platform recently posted on its official account on X(formerly Twitter), stating that Lucky Star Currency ($LSC) plummeted by 97%, while revealing that an unidentified individual orchestrated this exit scam. The individual is reported to have profited approximately $1.11 million BUSD.
The individual received 3 million $LSC tokens from contracts associated with the designated node fee address for the token. These transfers occurred a few hours ago, with the exit address dumping the tokens three minutes after receiving them. This raises questions about the intention and motivations behind the transactions whether it’s a malicious attack or something else went wrong.
Following this, after the funds were swiftly transferred to several addresses, the $LSC token dropped drastically by 96.78% earlier this morning, dropping from a high of $2.88 to a low of $0.04. Currently, the asset is now trading for about $0.0303 with a market cap of $296K. Its market cap previously stood at $28.7 million.
