“So how did the coordinated market manipulation of $LINK go? Was that the PUMP you all expected? Sergey is running out of money to keep on buying to maintain the house of cards - double top formations on the horizon. The market might delay but does not forget.
$LINK is going to $0”
The attacks on Chainlink on behalf of Zeus Capital began in mid-July, when unknown individuals accused the project of fraud. They stated that LINK developers massively liquidate their assets in secret from users.
However, Zeus Capital denied any involvement with the report and stated that they had no connection with the attackers.
At the end of mid-July, someone sent advertising offers to well-known individuals in the cryptocurrency space on behalf of the bank. First, they were offered to post a negative review with a LINK chart for free, later they promised to pay 5 BTC to a developer aka Icebergy.
