Former New York Mayor Involved in Rug Pull Allegations: On-Chain Investigation into NYC Token

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces allegations of a "rug pull" following the launch of the NYC token. Shortly after its debut on January 13, the token’s value plummeted over 80% when the liquidity pool creator address (9Ty4M4t9MZArhJBKFWbYrzeqdMf2Ua5eHWSRW3LXKyGt) removed approximately 2.377 million USDC just 30 minutes post-launch. This caused the token’s market cap to crash from a high of $600 million to under $100 million. Beosin’s on-chain analysis traced the initial funding to a Mayan bridge and Kraken. After the crash, the same address began making small purchases of NYC tokens, but the price only recovered to around $0.133. The address still holds 1.332 million USDC, resulting in an estimated profit of $330,000. Adams denied personal profit or involvement in removing funds. However, the analysis confirms liquidity manipulation, with only about $1 million returned to liquidity after $2.37 million was withdrawn. This incident highlights the significant risks associated with celebrity-backed tokens.
