▌Bitcoin Pizza Day, Meme Scammers Gain Over $200,000 with Rug Pull
Meme scammers made more than $200,000 from Rug Pulls on Bitcoin Pizza Day, according to dextools data.
Fourteen pizza-related meme coins have been issued in the last 24 hours, four of which have been confirmed as Rug Pull.
The first meme project was Pizza Coin (PIZZA). Eight minutes after launch, the development team changed the sales tax rate, making it impossible for investors to sell their positions.

At least five other projects are suspected of being honeypot scams, a type of online fraud that typically defrauds victims of their money by tricking them into investing money in bogus deals or investments.
