What's a rug-pull? A textbook example just happened in Argentina,
where Javier Milei, the president, touted a new cryptocurrency called
$Libra. The currency's price soared as thousands of small players
bought in, while insiders sold their holdings for huge profits. Then
the price collapsed, leaving small players owning worthless bits of
code.

Does this sound familiar? It should: the $Trump coin, introduced with
great fanfare by Trump in January, attracted billions in dollars from
MAGA fans, then quickly lost more than 80 percent of its value. The
great bulk of $Trump coins were initially bought by a handful of
"whales," large investors, although it's not clear whether their
intent was to scam small buyers or simply to bribe the president.
