ZachXBT warns: Rain Protocol is suspected to be associated with a serial fraud team, investors are advised to avoid it
According to a post by on-chain detective ZachXBT, the prediction market project Rain Protocol ($RAIN), with a market capitalization of approximately $8.8 billion, is facing serious risks. ZachXBT discovered through tracking on-chain addresses that the funding sources of the RAIN team are linked to the Gems hot wallet, and the related addresses had previously transferred funds for failed projects DOP and TOMI, suggesting potential team overlap.
TOMI, DOP, and Sirin Labs can all be traced back to the controversial Israeli businessman Moshe Hogeg, who was arrested in 2021 for crypto fraud and was charged by police in 2023 for allegedly being involved in a $290 million crypto scam. Additionally, the price of the RAIN token appears to be subject to on-chain manipulation, with its TVL almost entirely composed of its own native token, which has extremely poor liquidity, and annual fee income of only about $1 million.
The launchpad Gems.vip, which incubated several of the aforementioned projects, is reportedly preparing for a new round of presales for the Kai Platform, while the whereabouts of the $162 million raised by DOP remain unclear, with ongoing complaints from retail investors.
