According to @zachxbt, traders must exercise extreme caution and cease blindly following influencer calls, which can often be part of elaborate scams. The on-chain investigator highlighted a tactic where an influencer acquires a significant supply of a new token at launch, a practice known as 'sniping,' and then aggressively promotes it to their followers. This behavior, as cited by @zachxbt, is a classic setup for a pump-and-dump scheme, posing a severe financial risk to unsuspecting investors. He advocates for platforms like X to suspend accounts involved in such fraudulent activities to protect the community.
