A well-known token issuance platform is facing legal litigation, with the plaintiff accusing its operating model of being akin to a "manipulated casino," with most users incurring losses and unfair competition. Internal sources reveal that certain users enjoy priority rights, coupled with false advertising, enabling the platform to profit. The court has allowed the submission of key evidence, and the case exposes issues of information asymmetry and power imbalance in the crypto market.

【Blockchain Rhythm】A well-known token issuance platform recently faced a major legal lawsuit. The law firm reiterated in the latest version of the complaint that this platform, promoted as an “opportunity game,” actually operates like a “manipulated casino.”

According to internal information exposed in the lawsuit, the platform’s co-founder admitted that “most people suffer losses.” What does this imply? The platform’s operational model is inherently highly unfavorable to retail participants.

The plaintiff has raised several core allegations: First, the platform uses a priority fee mechanism to allow certain users to gain an advantage during token launches, creating a clearly unfair competitive environment; second, some crypto opinion leaders promote tokens without disclosing compensation, suspected of false advertising; third, platform leaders “secretly predetermined who would win and who would lose,” extracting huge profits from retail investors.

Although the allegations are quite serious, the court has not yet obtained definitive evidence proving direct profit-making by senior executives. However, the good news is that the judge has approved the plaintiff’s submission of an amended complaint containing 5,000 private messages, which could become key evidence.

This case reflects issues of information asymmetry and platform power imbalance in the current crypto market, warranting industry-wide reflection.

It's the same trick again, the priority fee mechanism is just blatant money grabbing.

Another "opportunity game" has collapsed. To put it plainly, it's the same old trick... The priority fee mechanism is clearly insider trading. They even admit that most people lose money—what's there to argue? The design is just to scam retail investors. That group of opinion leaders is really disgusting. They take the money but don't speak out. It feels like the entire ecosystem is rotten to the core.

Same old story, it's the same priority fee mechanism and insider recommendations. I just want to ask, how come these platforms haven't been completely banned yet?

Manipulating casinos is the same as what I experienced, all the money was sucked dry by vampires. I should have known not to believe in priority fees; it's a classic scam to cut the leeks. Is this the current state of Web3? It's too shady. Everyone's losing money, only the whales are making profits. I just want to know who the hell the specific users are. I can't stand false advertising. Those KOLs are all two-faced. It's always us retail investors who end up as the scapegoats. Damn. Another one. Many platforms do this and nothing happens. Secrets that pre-determine wins and losses are truly outrageous.

It's the same old trick again. The priority fee mechanism is just MEV harvesting under a different name... Looks like this flower isn't very popular after all.

It's the same old trick again. The priority fee mechanism is basically outright theft. Why do they get to get on the bus first? If they're going to scam retail investors, just do it. Don't pretend it's some kind of opportunity or game. Truly pathetic. Big influencers taking money behind the scenes and pretending to be innocent—there are hardly any clean ones in this industry.
