Save the Kids
Rug PullDeFi · $KIDS · ✝ 2021
A charity token rigged so insiders could dump.
Save the Kids was a 'charity' token heavily promoted by FaZe Clan members and other influencers. Its anti-whale code was quietly altered to remove sell limits, letting insiders dump on buyers, and the token collapsed within hours of launch.

☠️ Cause of death
The anti-dump 'anti-whale' mechanism was changed before launch, enabling insiders and promoters to sell freely and crash the price.
