Base co-founder accused of directing traffic to RUG tokens, faces strong backlash from the community

According to ChainCatcher, Base co-founder Jesse attracted attention and invested funds by issuing the RUG token for the notorious Soulja Boy on social media yesterday, sparking strong criticism from the community. ZachXBT questioned, "Why give Soulja Boy a platform to scam new users?"

As early as April 2023, ZachXBT had already revealed, "Soulja Boy is one of the most blatant promoters in the crypto community. In my research, I found that he participated in 73 promotions and 16 NFT project launches, many of which were scams."

Jesse has also promoted various MEME coins, such as the "Base is for everyone" incident (which soared to a market cap of 20 millions and then quickly dropped by 90%) and his personal token jesse (which the community calls the most failed fair launch in Base's history). The tokens he promotes often experience short-term speculative hype, but their long-term performance and investment returns are unstable.
