We Got Rugged - BroFund

in LeoFinance27 days ago

Earlier this evening, I was browsing Hive-Engine, trying to scrape together some DEC to swap for Hive since the exchange rate was favoring DEC. While checking my assets, I noticed that one of my long-term holdings had suddenly crashed in value. A few hours later, after digging deeper, I found troubling signs that the entire community I’ve been part of for nearly half a decade may have been hijacked and possibly compromised.

I have sold off my remaining BRO at a significant lost but not many tokens. I still have some LGN that are staked so now unable to sell those as it seems to be zero.

I did not hold a large amount of LGN, just a little over 33 tokens, so the loss is relatively small compared to some of my past experiences in crypto. But here’s the concern: if it turns out that any token associated with BroFund has truly been compromised, then my losses could be significantly compounded. It’s a troubling possibility that adds weight to an already unsettling situation.

I'm also invested in other projects connected to BroFund, including DAB and DBOND — a collaborative effort between BroFund and @spinvest. I currently have over 100 DBOND tokens locked, and I just liquidated another 100 DAB. Given recent developments, I'm too uneasy to continue holding anything associated with BroFund. This experience serves as a cautionary tale for other investors on Hive stay vigilant and do your due diligence.

I would believe there are other projects BroFund is involved in since they existed for multiple years on Hive. In any case I am looking through my secondary Hive tokens to make sure I do not own anything related to BroFund.

I sincerely hope this situation gets resolved, but I’m not holding my breath. I’ve seen this story play out too many times before, and I’ve personally been rugged in multiple projects. It’s disheartening to witness it happening again, but I’m doing my best to minimize the damage and I strongly encourage others to take precautions and do the same.

Coincidentally, a few days ago I increased my delegation to brofi and started delegating a little to legionsupport since I was aware of the latest news about Bro's project. But what just happened was unexpected, at least for me, since I wasn't paying close attention to what was happening around those in charge. It's true what you say about it being important to always be informed about everything related to the projects you're going to get involved in.

Luckily, in my case I didn't lose much since I had only recently become familiar with the project, but I still failed to keep up with the latest developments and, more importantly, the movements and behaviors of the creator and owner (Ray) who, by the way, has been behaving in a very strange way lately.

But hey, as you say in your post, it's not the first or last time this will happen, especially not here in the crypto world. This serves as a learning experience and a reminder of what we need to do in future investments.

It's a bad experience with bro token. I bought for 7 hive and sold some but still have about 100 tokens which are worthless now.
Really bad experience of investing on BRO token.

I didn't have much BRO either, but I sold them off. I am not worried that much about DAB/DBOND though because they are still paying out dividends. I think spinvest has probably heard about this and taken some precautions.

SSUK kept the lights ON. Raymond didn't contributed although it was a joint venture

SSUK will keep the lights on. I haven't pulled from DBOND yet. (I can't predict the future) But I am confident on dbond atleast for now.

It's good to hear that DBOND and DAB are in good hands.

Come get MOONed!

I’m happy that I sold my bro a month ago to get more involved in the projects of @leostrategy

I'm happy I have just a few. This is sad anyway because some people invested a lot into it.

That is a massive drop on BRO and LGU

Getting rugged is the worst experience ever
