Let's clear up some confusion about what a real 'Rugger' actually is.
First off, a developer launching multiple tokens isn't automatically a scammer. They're just testing ideas, chasing trends, or trying to find product-market fit. That's standard in this space.
But here's the real deal: A genuine Rugger? That's someone playing a completely different game. We're talking about orchestrated fraud—creating fake social media accounts, fabricating partnership announcements, or spreading manufactured hype. They accumulate massive positions early, then dump everything on unsuspecting buyers once the price pumps.
The playbook is always similar: fake Twitter accounts with stolen profile pics, photoshopped screenshots of 'team members,' maybe some bot-driven Telegram groups. They control the supply, manipulate the narrative, and exit before anyone realizes what happened.
Know the difference. One is entrepreneurship with risk; the other is premeditated theft with extra steps.

That's what a real rug pull is all about, it's been scamming your money from the very beginning.
To be honest, issuing coins doesn't necessarily mean someone is a bad person, but those who fabricate partnerships, Photoshop screenshots, and control the market trend to dump... are truly outrageous.
I've seen too many of these tricks, Telegram Bots, fake Twitter accounts, then they pump and dump, and the people are gone.

To be honest, this article is just trying to whitewash those big brothers who issue coins on multiple chains, I just hehe.
My gosh, a bunch of fake accounts, photo-shopped screenshots, tg Bots... isn't this just a standard Rug Pull process? What are they pretending?
The real Rug Pull team has already run away, and they are still here teaching people how to identify it, hilarious.
Issuing a few more coins, how does that become entrepreneurship? I see this as just another way of gambling.

Well said, this is the real understanding of the difference of rug... Those who shout "rugged again" every day can't really tell the difference between a failed project and a true scam.
Fake Twitter accounts, Photoshop screenshots, Bots Tg groups... With just these few tricks, are there really still people getting fooled?
Issuing more tokens ≠ scammer, this needs to be acknowledged, but the real ruggers are actors, it's all orchestrated, too sneaky.
