Yi He (Binance co-founder) just publicly called out a scammer named "Zhu Pan" who tried to impersonate her and scam Justin Sun.
What makes this wild: Justin confirmed it's real. $TRON and Binance almost never align publicly, but both posted warnings within hours. Combined views hit six figures fast.
Zhu Pan's playbook:
- Fake AI-generated content
- Impersonated wealthy Chinese/HK families
- Targeted multiple exchanges
- Previously scammed someone for 60 $ETH (~$210k at the time)
CoinUp got dragged into this mess. They denied Zhu Pan is part of their team but admitted he's linked to a project listed on their platform. Their native token $CPX hit ATH at $0.829 last Friday, then dumped hard. No hack found, cause still unknown.
Key point: This is all allegations. No court or regulator has confirmed anything yet. CoinUp denies rug pull claims and threatens legal action against "false narratives."
The real question: Does a public callout from Yi He or Justin actually stop these guys, or do they just rebrand and vanish?
Stay paranoid. Verify everything. If a "whale" or "insider" DMs you, it's probably fake.
