AI-Generated Meme Coin Batching + Insider Group 'Multiple Harvesting' Scheme

Who Gets Targeted

Victims are typically young men, retail investors with limited crypto trading experience but lacking on-chain analysis skills, and crypto newcomers influenced by short-video content or community KOLs. Swayed by narratives like 'AI-powered coin selection' or 'insider early-bird access,' they fear missing out on short-term wealth. Fueled by tech-worship of AI narratives and a frenzied group atmosphere, they ignore fundamental risks such as zero audits and unlocked liquidity pools. Some victims participate in multiple sub-projects, with diversified positions only deepening their total losses.

骗局怎么运作

• Batch Minting: Operators use AI tools to generate dozens of meme coin contracts at once, each with different names, icons, and narratives. Every project is tagged with trendy AI labels, such as AI Oracles, AI Trading Assistants, or AI Governance DAOs. Token contracts create liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges at minimal cost, with initial pools often containing only a few thousand dollars or less, designed to exploit the 'new pool effect'.
• Insider Group Segmentation: The same operating team runs multiple private groups with different names, each corresponding to a specific meme coin project. The scripts are nearly identical, claiming the group owner uses AI models to monitor 'smart money' and provide early buy signals. Bots are used within the groups to simulate trading activity, profit screenshots, and rising member counts, tricking newcomers into believing they have entered a highly active, information-rich circle.
• Staged Pumping: Operators manufacture genuine price increases in one or two mainstream meme coins to let some group members make small profits. These gains are cross-posted across multiple groups to induce more people to add capital. Subsequently, existing users are migrated to a new coin project, using funds from the previous coin's exit to briefly pump the new coin's price, creating a 'chain-win effect'.
• Multiple Harvesting and Dumping: By rotating control across multiple tokens and using various wallet addresses to disperse holdings, operators pump prices through social media hype and group shilling, then execute massive sell-offs across multiple addresses in a short window. Because meme coin liquidity pools are shallow and unlocked, large sell orders quickly crash the price, leaving victims trapped before they can react.
• Abandon and Reboot: Once the dump is complete, the operating team dissolves the old group or mutes members, then launches a new coin with a new narrative and name. Victims who speak out on other platforms are often dismissed as 'newbies who missed the exit' or 'short-sellers spreading FUD', further fragmenting efforts to seek justice.

红旗信号（看到这些快跑）

• 🚩 The same operator or group of admins launches multiple AI meme coin projects with different names but identical narrative templates in a short period.
• 🚩 Liquidity pools are unlocked or have extremely short lock-up periods, with pool funds provided primarily by the project team rather than dispersed community members.
• 🚩 Shilling occurs only through closed communities; core position information is never made public on-chain, and projects lack audits or use unknown auditing firms.
• 🚩 Groups are flooded with profit screenshots and trading activity, yet there are almost no verifiable on-chain transaction hashes or wallet addresses.
• 🚩 Users are pressured to migrate 'unrealized gains' from one coin to another during group transitions, creating a pyramid-like reinvestment cycle.
• 🚩 Official X or Telegram accounts frequently change names or are deleted in a short time, and public discussion of exit points is prohibited.

真实案例

• According to an AI acquisition scam case disclosed by AiCoin in 2025, two concept coins, FAMI and JINQIAN, were packaged as AI M&A projects on social media. Prices surged, and after the operators coordinated shilling in groups, they executed a rapid dump, leaving retail investors trapped at high prices. The alternating pump-and-dump pattern of these two coins closely mirrors the 'multiple harvesting' model. (Source: https://www.aicoin.com/zh-Hans/article/551092)
• Shouma Zhijia exposed the ANT community (predecessor to ANT.FUN) in 2025. The community attracted 230,000 members with an AI quantitative trading story. Later, ANB plummeted from $0.19 to $0.00000020, a 99.99% drop, wiping out retail investors. This narrative follows the same path as insider group harvesting, merely wrapped in the shell of batch-minted meme coins. (Source: https://www.corg.cc/article/19380.html)
• Odaily reported that influencer Di Shi lost tens of millions due to a crypto-brother scam. While not a typical meme coin, it illustrates how shilling and project packaging within closed trust circles can continuously extract funds over years until the collapse. Similar tactics are now compressed into weeks or days within meme coin insider groups. (Source: https://www.odaily.news/zh-CN/post/5212725)

Official Stance

• In 2025, several crypto industry media outlets, such as AiCoin, issued continuous warnings regarding the extreme volatility and abnormal liquidity pools of AI acquisition projects, advising investors to verify on-chain data and official channels rather than following community shilling.
• Chapanwang repeatedly warned in related exposés that any project using AI as a pretext, pushing buy signals through private groups, and lacking public audits is highly likely to be a fraudulent virtual currency scheme.
• Multiple local public security bureaus issued case filings or warnings in 2025 regarding AI wealth management and virtual currency 'pig-butchering' scams, alerting the public to the risks of illegal fundraising and financial fraud disguised as 'AI + Blockchain'.

How to Protect Yourself

• ✅ Prioritize using on-chain explorers to verify project contracts, check if liquidity pools are locked, verify lock-up durations, and analyze pool holder distribution. Reject any closed-group shilling that cannot be verified.
• ✅ Stay vigilant against groups using terms like 'AI auto-selection,' 'insider early-bird,' or 'smart money tracking.' Demand verifiable on-chain transaction hashes for any profit screenshots; if not provided, do not add capital.
• ✅ If the same operator or admin group manages multiple meme coins, it is almost certainly a batch-harvesting scheme. Exit immediately and block the relevant communities.
• ✅ Control total exposure to meme coins. Do not disclose wallet addresses or position sizes in groups to avoid being targeted by operators for forced liquidation or panic-inducing trades.
• ✅ If a community demands migrating funds from one coin to another, claiming 'reinvesting unrealized gains is the only way to get the insider price,' recognize this as a classic rotation-harvesting signal. Stop adding funds, save evidence, and report the activity.
