Investigation #4

BASC / DakDaze EXPOSED

Bored Ape Solana Club — born from stolen Yuga Labs IP, original founder rug pulled, taken over by "Daze" who now operates 10+ coordinated Twitter accounts, has 45 direct transactions with the #1 Puffsterz wash wallet, and runs a collection with 58% wash trading. Central hub wallet connects every team member. 320.92 SOL cashed out through disposable wallets. Circular fund flow with closed accounts used to obscure origins.

Yuga Labs Permission
Active Investigation — Evolving & Updating Daily. Some details may not be fully 100% accurate as new evidence emerges. We provide links, proof, and sources for all claims made. We implore anyone to refute any findings with evidence — do your own analysis. This investigation is conducted for the protection of the Solana community.

The Origin — Stolen Art & Rug Pull

Bored Ape Solana Club launched as an unauthorized derivative of Yuga Labs' Bored Ape Yacht Club. The original founder "BoredDragon" claimed to have "gotten permission from BAYC to use" the art. No evidence this permission was legitimate. Magic Eden flagged the collection with a "derivative badge" and removed it from the front page. Source: BASC official history

The Rug Pull (March 21, 2022): BoredDragon stole the community wallet funds, missed every royalty distribution, listed his own NFT to capture the last bit of money, deleted the 15,000-member Discord and the Twitter account, and vanished. He also surprise-minted "Junior Ape Solana Club" on March 13 instead of distributing the promised royalty payment — a second scam.

TWO co-founders: "BoredDragon" and "ApeK" — claimed "extensive experience in computer science, marketing, blockchain, NFTs." Both vanished. Twitter was @BoredDragonNFT (deleted). Real identities remain unknown — no law enforcement, no ZachXBT, no Coffeezilla has publicly identified them.

BoredDragon's wallet STILL ACTIVE: HzfMfjCc...JgdF — 8,340+ transactions, last active March 2026. Currently holds 73 NFTs: 21 Okay Bulls, 13 Internet Foxes, 4 Botborgs, 3 Dope Dogs, 3 ABC Sports, 3 Bohemians, 1 Primate, 1 Infinity Serpent, 1 Founders Coins (Okay Bears airdrop). Zero BASC. Zero SOL balance — drained but NFTs remain. Note: "Mad Lads #3844" in wallet is a FAKE scam airdrop (metadata points to phishing domain asolgift.com, unverified creator).

Confirmed stolen: 85 SOL (Feb 21, 2022) + 40 SOL (Mar 15, 2022). Mint revenue: ~4,037 SOL. Royalties: ~14,168 SOL.

MONEY LAUNDERING CHAIN TRACED: Primary operations wallet CswJmWQ... received 1,922 SOL directly from the BASC Mint Authority — proving it is controlled by the BASC creator. On March 17, 2022 (4 days before rug), BoredDragon drained 790 SOL + 26,724 USDC through a disposable intermediary (C1YXc9... — only 16 txs ever, created solely for this laundering step) to an exchange consolidation wallet. Three transfers in rapid succession: 1 SOL test, then 560 SOL, then 229 SOL — all forwarded to the exchange within minutes. Additionally, 1,000 SOL went to the SNS domain wallet (8aHWh43X...) and 190 SOL to a wallet that is now closed. The entire 1,922 SOL from the Mint Authority was distributed across these destinations — zero remaining.

DESTINATION WALLET — CONFIRMED BINANCE HOT WALLET. The destination wallet 2ojv9BAi... is a verified Binance hot wallet — confirmed by tracing deposit addresses that forward funds to BOTH this wallet AND the independently confirmed Binance 2 wallet (5tzFkiK...). The same Binance deposit infrastructure serves both wallets, proving they are the same exchange. This wallet is now retired (4.11 SOL remaining), replaced by newer Binance hot wallets.

What flowed through this one Binance hot wallet within 7 weeks:

Feb 2, 2022: Processed a 2.5 SOL withdrawal to the $320M Wormhole Bridge attacker (CxegPrfn...). The attacker wallet held 0 SOL before this — it was the funding that enabled the exploit. Verify transaction.
Mar 17, 2022: Received BoredDragon's rug pull proceeds — 999.99 SOL + 26,724 USDC via dedicated intermediary C1YXc9 (which has exactly 3 counterparties in its entire existence).
Mar 23, 2022: Sent 1.33 SOL to the BASC Treasury — 2 days after the rug pull, 4 days before the relaunch.

Three events through one Binance hot wallet: the $320M Wormhole attacker's funding, a rug puller's cashout, and a project treasury's seeding — all within 7 weeks. Each was an independent Binance user transaction. Whether the same Binance account was behind all three requires exchange records obtainable via subpoena. The on-chain evidence shows they shared the same exchange infrastructure — concerning for context, but not proof of the same individual without exchange records.

HOW WE CONFIRMED IT'S BINANCE
We traced the deposit addresses that feed 2ojv9BAi. Two deposit addresses (5QFpK27Z... and 8QrwcdB5...) forward user deposits to BOTH 2ojv9BAi AND the independently confirmed Binance 2 wallet (5tzFkiK...). The same Binance deposit infrastructure serves both hot wallets — proving they are the same exchange. This wallet processed batch withdrawals at 12 txs/minute to 27 unique recipients, consistent with automated exchange withdrawal processing.
ON-CHAIN PROOF — Wormhole Attack Funding via Binance
Transaction: mHJoRkfJ...zE9
Date: February 2, 2022 at 09:17:14 UTC (hours before the $320M exploit)
From: 2ojv9BAi... — Binance hot wallet (confirmed via deposit address analysis)
To: CxegPrfn... — the confirmed Wormhole Bridge attacker
Amount: 2.5 SOL — processed as a Binance user withdrawal (the attacker had a Binance account)
Context: The attacker wallet held 0.000000 SOL before this transfer. This Binance withdrawal was the funding that enabled the $320M exploit.

What this means: BoredDragon deposited rug pull proceeds to Binance. The Wormhole attacker withdrew from Binance to fund the $320M exploit. The BASC Treasury received SOL from Binance during the relaunch window. All through the same Binance hot wallet within 7 weeks. Whether the same Binance account controlled all three sides is the critical question that only exchange records (via subpoena) can answer. The on-chain evidence shows they shared the same exchange infrastructure — this does not prove they are the same person, but the convergence of a $320M exploit, a rug pull, and a project relaunch through one exchange wallet warrants investigation.

The intermediary wallet C1YXc9... has exactly 3 counterparties in its entire existence: BoredDragon Main (IN), BoredDragon Ops (IN), and wallet 2ojv9BAi (OUT). Every SOL in came from BoredDragon. Every SOL out went to this one address. This is a dedicated deposit funnel — created solely to connect BoredDragon to this destination.

TIMELINE — Rug Pull to Relaunch
March 17, 2022: BoredDragon drained 999.99 SOL + 26,724 USDC through dedicated intermediary. Full flow: BD Ops (560 + 229 SOL) + BD Main (100 + 110 SOL) → C1YXc9hw → 2ojv9BAi. Three rapid-fire transfers + USDC, all within hours.
March 21, 2022: BASC rug pull — Discord deleted, Twitter deleted, funds stolen.
March 23, 2022: Same wallet 2ojv9BAi sent 1.33 SOL to BASC Treasury in 2 back-to-back transfers (1.0 + 0.33 SOL). TX1 | TX2
March 27, 2022: BASC relaunched under DakDaze on Magic Eden.

The only thing weakening this connection was the Solscan "Binance" label — if the wallet were truly a Binance hot wallet, the deposit and withdrawal could be from different users. But no independent analytics firm confirms this label. The wallet funded the Wormhole hacker. Hack victims flagged it. And Solscan's own labeling process requires only an email request with no documented cryptographic proof of ownership — meaning a bad actor could request their wallet be labeled as "Binance" to frustrate on-chain forensics. Combined with 76 shared intermediary wallets between the BD and DakDaze clusters, a dedicated intermediary that exists solely to connect BoredDragon to this wallet, and the timing (deposit 4 days before rug, Treasury funded 2 days after rug), this is strong on-chain evidence linking the rug pull extraction to the relaunch treasury. Exchange records via subpoena — or Solscan disclosing how this label was assigned — would resolve any remaining ambiguity.

Connected wallet cluster: 8+ wallets identified as same operator. The operations wallet (CswJmWQ...) directly funded wallet 8aHWh43X... with 10 SOL on Feb 1, 2022 — that wallet's very first transaction. This wallet holds 7 SNS domains (4502.sol, 7141.sol, 5141.sol, 8032.sol, 8036.sol, 7065.sol, 8037.sol) — all numeric, possibly zip codes or partial identifiers. 300+ NFTs including 100+ Sexy Monkey Business, 60+ Iron Pigeon, 20+ Dazed Ducks, Primates, and SMB. Wallet was drained June 14, 2025 to C9W71cvt.... The BoredDragon main wallet has already been flagged by someone on-chain — holds an "INVESTIGATION" NFT with symbol "WARNING."

BoredDragon NFT profile: Heavily invested in the Okay Bulls/Okay Bears ecosystem — 21 Okay Bulls + Founders Coins airdrop. Also holds Internet Foxes, Botborgs, Bohemians. Active in Okay Bulls community — potential identity vector via Discord/Twitter connections. Still collecting NFTs 4 years after the rug.

LAUNCHMYNFT — ZERO-KYC LAUNCHPAD ENABLED THE RUG: BASC was minted through LaunchMyNFT (mint page still live). The platform requires zero identity verification — anyone can launch a collection in under 5 minutes with no KYC, no due diligence, and no escrow on mint funds. Creators receive funds instantly. The platform is flooded with low-quality and scam projects — documented by independent reviewers as prioritizing "projects without real value" over legitimate collections (source). Scam Detector rates it 49.5/100 ("Doubtful"). After its own rug pull incidents, Magic Eden implemented mandatory KYC and 24-hour escrow — LaunchMyNFT implemented neither. Their privacy policy states they collect email, name, phone, and wallet address — and can disclose to law enforcement via valid legal process. LaunchMyNFT may hold BoredDragon's registration data (though unverified, as no KYC exists). Founded by Jordi van den Bussche ("Kwebbelkop"), Suraj Patel, and Christopher Dawe. Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The "De-Rug": DakDaze, Exxempt (lead dev), and KitsuneUK (artist) took over. Kitsune hand-redrew all 6,001 NFTs. Community raised 100 SOL to relaunch. BoredDragon's mint authority set to 0% share/unverified. New community creator: DeWqm6ib.... Collection relaunched on Magic Eden March 27, 2022.

Courts have ruled unauthorized BAYC derivatives violate Yuga Labs trademarks. Ryder Ripps was initially ordered to pay ~$9M in damages — later vacated by the Ninth Circuit (which ruled NFTs qualify as "goods" under trademark law) and settled April 7, 2026 — Ripps permanently barred from using Yuga trademarks. BASC has never received authorization from Yuga Labs.

On-Chain Proof — Direct Wallet Connections

CROSS-NETWORK BRIDGE TO STEAMX (PROVEN, April 2026)
The same X handles that promote BASC and the GOTM/Puffsterz/VibeTribe cluster also operate @Steam_Exchange — a Canadian-registered "crypto exchange" whose token contract diverted ~$700K to Stake.com gambling over 17 months and whose validator master wallet was seeded from Tornado Cash on BSC (U.S. OFAC-sanctioned at time of withdrawal, June 2024). Independently verified against BscScan public name labels — 3 tx hashes on BSC, every address present in the tx pages.
The bridge handles between BASC's network and SteamX:
  • Pete = Shaun Eric Divecha (@OnlyPetes) — SteamX co-founder per his X bio AND confirmed under penalty of perjury in Astrals NFT class action Case 1:23-cv-21912-FAM (S.D. Florida) Amended Complaint ¶14: "Plaintiff Shaun Divecha is a citizen and resident of Canada." Co-plaintiff Viraf Sam Chapgar (¶15) = SteamX Head of Marketing.
  • @SWISS_SOL — Puffsterz CTO who built Puffsterz/VibeTribe staking UI AND Pete's documented "right-hand man" on the SteamX side.
  • Smoking gun tweet: on March 19, 2026, the SteamX project NFT brand @B_O_T_NFT replied to @Noba_Sol's GOTM raid grid"Good grid for sure, but you missed us over at BOT. Dont fade." Noba_Sol's grid co-tagged @XElementia, @GAINZNFTs, @puffsterznfts, @GotmLabz, @LunardollzNft, @enchanted_nfts. The SteamX project NFT inserted itself into a paid GOTM raid as a peer.
DAKDAZE ↔ PUFFSTERZ DIRECT TRANSACTIONS
dakdaze.sol (5Ym11hxc...) — 5,000 transactions analyzed, 2,770 unique counterparties.
vibetribe.sol: 45 DIRECT transactions — the #1 wash trading wallet (score 755) in the Puffsterz ecosystem. NFT sales and transfers dating back to June 2025.
puffsterz.sol: 19 DIRECT transactions — the official Puffsterz project wallet. All transfer types, June 2025 onward.
wash_trader_1 (2ZCQ18): 5 DIRECT transactions — November 2025 cluster. The top Puffsterz wash trader.
cheeple: 1 DIRECT transaction — June 2025.
CENTRAL HUB WALLET — Connects EVERY Team Member
G9x2mKwD... — This single wallet appears as a shared counterparty in ALL team wallet cross-references: dakdaze, exxempt, kitsuneuk, AND cryptohomeschooler. 345 interactions with dakdaze. 115.72 SOL volume. Holds BASC ecosystem NFTs. This is the connective tissue proving all wallets are operated by the same group.
BasC5At2A... — Vanity address starting with "BasC" (project treasury). Holds 99 SAGA x BASC NFTs. Sends 10.3 SOL to dakdaze across 7 transactions. Appears in exxempt AND kitsuneuk cross-references.
5SoVn4dw...First wallet to ever fund dakdaze (0.4 SOL initial funding). 481 interactions — the highest of any counterparty. Holds heavy BASC portfolio: 50 XElementia, 7 Abducted BASC, 6 BASC x Senshi, 4 BASC. Same operator.
DBybHtKD...Cash-out wallet. Received 320.92 SOL from dakdaze in 428 transactions. One-way only. Funds then flowed to: 5wdEGUVW (19.4 SOL, account CLOSED), FeN4uvKi (16.5 SOL), and back into the Universal Node and Hub — circular recycling.
BzyMJz2j...Disposable funder. Sent 309.04 SOL to dakdaze. Account now CLOSED (account closed). Created solely to fund dakdaze, then destroyed to eliminate the trail.
Gd3A4QRM...THE UNIVERSAL NODE. Appears in ALL 4 investigated wallets (dakdaze + cash-out + first funder + hub). 444 total interactions. Directly funds BOTH dakdaze (16.5 SOL) AND the first funder (14.0 SOL). Receives from the cash-out wallet (3.07 SOL) and hub (2.02 SOL). This is the true nexus of the fund recycling loop.

CIRCULAR FUND FLOW — Disposable Wallets + Recycling
Total forensic scope: 8,655 transactions analyzed. 5,512 unique counterparties. 633.19 SOL inflow, 635.85 SOL outflow (net -2.65 SOL — break-even, consistent with operational fund cycling).
The circular flow: Disposable wallets (now CLOSED) fund the Central Hub and DakDaze directly. DakDaze's earnings flow to the Cash-Out wallet. The Cash-Out wallet feeds back into the Universal Node and Hub. The Universal Node re-funds both DakDaze and the First Funder. Multiple accounts in this cycle are now closed (zero balance, no history) — disposable wallets used to obscure fund origins.
Cash-Out wallet FULLY RESOLVED: DBybHtKDYbuefvQYr5Ydn8krzy5DsVLYeHQioReZWbo8account now CLOSED (rent-reclaimed). Previously functioned as SOL pass-through buying BASC floor (~0.7 SOL) on Magic Eden. Wallet deliberately destroyed after use.
First Funder FULLY RESOLVED: 5SoVn4dw2RonwCTKhztxefyh8XHgojx3LaPedgqrXC52 — 192 assets, 41 BASC. First wallet to ever fund dakdaze (0.4 SOL).
Universal Node FULLY RESOLVED: Gd3A4QRMppQwtifHM75yuu3MJTB4fGH2RcjEdSXBSTuP — 7 assets (all spam). Appears as royalty recipient in nearly every Treasury NFT sale. Fund recycling nexus.

3 wallets appear in ALL 4 investigated wallets: Universal Node (Gd3A4QRM...), 63HPhJxi..., and vibetribe.sol (4rcgnFxd... — the Puffsterz wash wallet). 54 wallets appear in 3+ of the 4 wallets — a dense inner network.
23 flagged Sybil/alt wallets detected through circular flow analysis. Bidirectional fund shuttling between dakdaze and first funder (20.84 SOL out, 26.60 SOL back — 494 transactions). 170 shared counterparties between dakdaze and first funder — same operator.
8,655 transactions analyzed across 87 pages. 4 wallet traces totaling 20,000+ transactions. Universal Node confirmed as real wallet (not a PDA or program).
82.5% WASH TRADING — 6-Wallet Chain Documented
38 out of 73 recent BASC sales (52%) involve NFTs traded 2+ times through controlled wallets. Wash volume: 142.94 SOL out of 173.31 SOL total = 82.5% of all recent volume is wash trades. Hello Moon Wash Trade Index: 55 (independently confirms).
The wash chain (all wallet types verified on-chain):
1. NFTs listed on Magic Eden go to ME custody escrow (1BWutmTv... — Magic Eden program account, owner: M2mx93...). This is standard marketplace infrastructure, not a personal wallet.
2. EdEUwHsX... (Wash Intermediary — REAL WALLET, System Program) — 4 buys, 23 sells. Buys from listings, immediately resells. Converted wash proceeds to $5,595 USDC via 24 Jupiter/OKX swaps. 0.37 SOL balance, still active.
3. FkWXTebY... (Router A — CLOSED/DESTROYED) — 7 buys, 7 sells. Perfect 1:1 ratio = pure passthrough. Account rent-reclaimed (closed) — wallet deliberately destroyed after use.
4. 4QZKsNk1... (Accumulator — REAL WALLET, System Program) — 11 buys, 0 sells. Terminal collection wallet. 1.85 SOL balance, still active.
5. EMRcAC3P... (Router B — CLOSED/DESTROYED) — 3 buys, 3 sells. Another passthrough. Also rent-reclaimed — destroyed after completing wash cycle.
6. Each trade on Magic Eden generates 6.9% royalty to Universal Node (real wallet, 13.39 SOL balance) → 100% flows to dakdaze.sol.
Router wallets A and B were deliberately closed (rent-reclaimed) after use — a pattern consistent with disposable wallets used to obscure transaction trails. Normal users don't close wallets.
Example: NFT 6mvUVsyf... traded 4 times same day (Apr 4, 2026): Mega-Seller → 6bSRb3gC → H43HihdH → 9taD9Qsh at 1.605 SOL each, then relisted: Mega-Seller → 5E4pqCQB at 1.850 SOL. Total wash volume: 6.66 SOL from one NFT.
Apr 9: 7 NFTs through Router A → Accumulator at exactly 1.290 SOL each, all within minutes. Apr 12: 4 NFTs through EdEUwHsX → disposable → accumulator at ~1.25 SOL, all in same block (15:50 timestamp).
7 ADDITIONAL wash wallets discovered (13 total): GBL6u9aV... (Mega Accumulator — 90+ BASC-ecosystem NFTs including 27 BASC, 30 XElementia, 6 Bored Primates) — proves cross-collection wash trading. Funded by AR6nhw8K... with 3.305 SOL. Also: E9qME8uW... (Secondary Seller), 7xYBonot..., FUFrzkjo..., 2ZCQ18Qj..., B7FovJWk... (5 BASC held).
WASH PROCEEDS EXTRACTION — $5,595 USDC documented: The Wash Intermediary (EdEUwHsX) performed 24 swap transactions converting wash trade SOL into USDC via Jupiter, OKX DEX Router, DFlow, and Pump AMM. Major swaps: 5 SOL → 415.60 USDC | 4 SOL → 335.91 USDC | 3.6 SOL → 290.67 USDC | 3.4 SOL → 287.87 USDC | 2.8 SOL → 241.23 USDC. Then swapped 296.95 USDC → 3.45 SOL to fund MORE wash purchases. Also converted to USD1 stablecoin and bought pump.fun tokens. Total documented USDC extraction: ~$5,595.
DakDaze.sol also swaps via OKX DEX Router: 7 swap transactions found on dakdaze.sol — all through OKX DEX Router and DFlow. Converting SOL to USDC and ecosystem tokens. Example: 1.32 SOL swapped for 48.54 USDC + ecosystem tokens in a single multi-hop trade.
None of the 13 wash wallets have SNS domains — all anonymous. All activity on Magic Eden exclusively.
MEGA ACCUMULATOR PROVES CROSS-COLLECTION WASH: GBL6u9aV holds 185 assets from 6 BASC-ecosystem collections: 64 XElementia, 43 BASC, 9 Bored Primates, 7 OG BASC, 4 BASC x Senshi, 4 OG BASC Pass. One wash wallet, six collections, all from the same ecosystem. This is the definitive proof that wash trading operates across the entire BASC collection family.
Wash SOL flows to disposable wallets: EdEUwHsX sends SOL to HMadVxeL... (13 transfers) — that wallet is now CLOSED (rent-reclaimed/destroyed). The pattern: wash trade → Jupiter swap SOL to USDC ($5,595 documented) → send remaining SOL to disposable → destroy the disposable. Traces erased.
GLDEtDi royalty wallet: GLDEtDi... — 100% royalty receiver across ALL BASC collections. 38,195 total transactions since June 26, 2022 (nearly 4 years of royalty collection). First funded by BASC Treasury itself — confirming the BASC team set up this royalty extraction wallet. ZERO outgoing SOL transfers in the most recent 100 transactions — currently holding 4.74 SOL as pure accumulation. This wallet has collected royalties from every single BASC marketplace sale for nearly 4 years. Separate extraction pipeline from the Universal Node.
EdEUwHsX wash intermediary history: 1,330 total transactions since September 1, 2025. First funded by G9X7F4Jz... — a 389,017 SOL whale/exchange wallet (1,069 assets). No direct on-chain link to dakdaze.sol from the funder, but the wash intermediary's behavior (buying BASC, flipping through routers, converting to USDC, sending to destroyed disposable wallets) is textbook coordinated wash trading benefiting the BASC royalty structure.

The self-royalty loop: dakdaze.sol → Cash-out wallet buys floor (~0.91 SOL avg, 158 purchases, 143.55 SOL) → generates 6.3% royalty to Universal Node → Universal Node accumulates ALL royalties (including from real third-party buyers) → sends 100% to dakdaze.sol → repeat.
Documented transactions: BASC #3916 (Apr 12) — DakDaze pays 1.69 SOL → 0.107 SOL royalty to Universal Node. BASC #3370 (Apr 12) — DakDaze pays 1.37 SOL → 0.086 SOL royalty. 47% of royalties come from DakDaze's OWN controlled purchases. The remaining 53% comes from real buyers who unknowingly pay royalties to DakDaze every time they trade.
Relist markup: Buys at ~0.91 SOL avg → Treasury sells at ~1.40 SOL avg = 54% markup plus self-royalty recapture on both the buy and sell.
COLLECTION AUTHORITY MAP — One Royalty Receiver Across All Collections
GLDEtDiEmpPGBksEbxsu8Ljr9UaDgC3QUk5xnkN7N7WA — the 100% royalty receiver across multiple BASC collections:
BASC (main pNFT): 100% of 6.9% royalty | OG Bored Ape Solana Club: 100% of 6.9% | OG BASC (999): 100% of 6.9% | Abducted BASC: 100% of 9.99% | BASC x Senshi: 50% of 6% | AI BASC: 50% of 10%
SAGA x BASC — supply inflation scheme: 16,000+ compressed NFTs (cNFTs) minted cheaply into the Treasury. Numbers go up to #16448+. Virtually all held in one wallet. External URL: bascdao.net. These inflate the "12,405 assets" count to appear legitimate.
XElementia — BASC-controlled: 493+ XElementia NFTs held across BASC wallets (Hoarding: 272, dakdaze: 138, Central Hub: 83). Set to 0% royalty. Compressed NFTs. Separate authority wallet but same ecosystem control.

THE OFF-RAMP — March 17, 2022 Cash Extraction Event
On March 17, 2022, approximately 1,000 SOL + 27,592 USDC was funneled through a single intermediary wallet to what appears to be a centralized exchange deposit address.
Step 1: CswJmWQ... (BD ops wallet, received 1,922 SOL from Mint Authority) sends 790 SOL to intermediary
Step 2: HzfMfjC... (BD main wallet) sends 210 SOL to intermediary
Step 3: 6cgPnor6... sends 26,724 USDC to intermediary via Phantom wallet
Step 4: Intermediary C1YXc9... consolidates everything and sends ~999 SOL + ~27,592 USDC to a single destination: 2ojv9BAi...
The destination wallet (2ojv9BAi) behaves like a CEX deposit address — receives large amounts, rarely sends. Currently holds 4.11 SOL. Confirmed as part of Binance infrastructure via deposit address analysis (see investigation above). A subpoena to the exchange operating this address would yield KYC data identifying the account holder.
All C1YXc9 activity occurred on a single day (March 17, 2022) — a concentrated, rapid extraction event. Test transaction (0.99 SOL) at 11:09, then 559.99 SOL at 11:29, 26,724 USDC at 11:51, with remaining transfers over the next hours. The wallet had only 16 transactions total and exactly 3 counterparties — a dedicated laundering funnel.
Current state: dakdaze.sol holds only 0.083 SOL and 6 USDC. The Cash-out wallet holds 0 SOL. The First Funder wallet holds 0.053 SOL. All wallets have been drained through continuous extraction.
ROYALTY MONEY TRAIL — Universal Node Sends 100% To DakDaze
IRREFUTABLE: On-chain analysis of 2,800+ transactions through the Universal Node wallet (Gd3A4QRM...STuP) confirms that 100% of all outgoing SOL goes to one wallet: dakdaze.sol. Every single royalty payment, every marketplace sale fee — it all flows to DakDaze. This is a direct, unambiguous money trail proving DakDaze controls the entire royalty infrastructure.
35+ collections pay royalties to this wallet, not just BASC. The Universal Node receives royalty payments from BASC (~850+ sales), OG Bored Ape Solana Club (~280+ sales), OG BASC (~40+ sales), BIRDBOX, CRY BABY BO, Ape Lincoln, James Crockett, Iron Ape, BlueJello, CodesHunter, dmtmonkeh, SolFamilyBASC, and 20+ more. All Magic Eden sales. All royalties flow to dakdaze.sol.
BIRDBOX and CRY BABY BO — same NFTs traded back and forth between network wallets. BIRDBOX #5135 appears in multiple sale transactions between the same cluster of addresses. This is textbook wash trading to generate royalty payments — DakDaze pays himself royalties by selling NFTs between his own wallets.
HIDDEN HOARDING WALLET DISCOVERED — 959 NFTs
New wallet identified: DAx5ioH58jexiZRvYL4ga9RSEamodMLty1U5bPnBoDGq — holds 959 NFTs: 414 BASC + 271 XElementia + 237 OG Bored Ape Solana Club + 20 Solnautz. This is where NFTs bought through the Cash-out wallet accumulate. DakDaze buys his own floor with one wallet, hoards in another, and relists from a third — creating artificial volume while stockpiling supply.
Additional SNS domains confirmed: daze.solEfVUr8V...1UoK (another DakDaze-controlled wallet). basc.sol9f49f5d...c7Wb (official BASC project wallet).
Total DakDaze-controlled NFTs across all known wallets: dakdaze.sol (2,017) + Treasury (12,405) + Central Hub (780) + Hoarding wallet (959) + First Funder (192) = 16,353+ NFTs under one person's control.
CASH-OUT WALLET BUYS FROM 25+ COLLECTIONS — Not Just BASC
337.87 SOL spent across 291 purchases through the Cash-out wallet. The buyer in virtually every transaction is dakdaze.sol — confirming the Cash-out wallet is just a relay.

The Cash-out wallet actively buys floor across the ENTIRE fraud network — GAINZ, VibeTribe, Frens Factory, Northlanders, MOSC, Puffsterz — funneling all NFTs to DakDaze. This proves financial interconnection across the network, not just social media cross-promotion.
MOSC (Mutants On Sol) — 130 NFTs Held By DakDaze
dakdaze.sol holds 130 MOSC NFTs — the largest non-BASC holding in his entire wallet. MOSC (@MutantsOnSol) is a GOTM DAO member project with ~3,500 NFTs. MOSC staking on GOTM Labz is now "Service Shut Down, NFTs auto unstaking" — the project was abandoned. Staking token: $MLabs.
DakDaze's full top holdings (on-chain verified): BASC (157), MOSC (130), XElementia (125), OG BASC (45), Micros (43), BASC x Senshi (30), Northlanders (27), Puffsterz (27), Abducted BASC (25), Portal Beasts (20), FRENS (20), Cyber Frogs (20), TombStoned (19), Dead y00ts (17), Abducted DeApes (17), Solnautz (17), GAINZ (14), Nyx (11), Hermans (11), Ugly Ape Squad (11), Okay Bears (10), Vibe Tribe (8). 80+ collections total.

Fake Engagement Network — Bot Detection

GIVEAWAY FRAUD — 33+ Documented Across Both Accounts, 3.5 Years, Zero Winners
33+ formal giveaway tweets fully documented across both @dak_daze (19+ tweets) and @BoredApeSolClub (16 tweets) — spanning January 26, 2022 to November 10, 2025 — 3.5 years of continuous giveaway fraud. Both accounts are controlled by the same person (DakDaze). On Aug 7, 2025, DakDaze announced "146 daily giveaways" — only 19 were posted in 96 days (1 every 5 days, not daily as promised). Numbering has errors: #14 is missing entirely, #19 appears twice.
ZERO winner announcements found. Exhaustive searching across both accounts found absolutely no winner announcements, congratulations posts, or delivery confirmations for ANY of the 33+ giveaways. Every single tweet promises "winner selected in 24/36/48 hours" but no follow-up ever exists. The ONLY "congrats" tweet found was from a third party congratulating DakDaze on a promotion — not announcing any winner.
The promised NFTs were SOLD. On-chain wallet analysis confirms: NONE of the specifically named giveaway NFTs were delivered to winners. 7 of 9 tracked NFTs are still sitting in the BASC Treasury (verified via Helius DAS API). 2 were sold on marketplace for profit. Zero free NFT transfers found in the entire transaction history of any DakDaze wallet.
@puffsterznfts required follow in giveaway 1/146. The very first giveaway of the "146 series" (Aug 7, 2025) requires following @puffsterznfts — directly tying the giveaway fraud to the Puffsterz network. Giveaway 4/146 (Aug 10, 2025) requires following @moon_blaze_ (Rico, GOTM Labz founder) AND @SiNftGod (Puffsterz). The giveaways are a follower-farming pipeline for the entire fraud network.

GIVEAWAY NFTs TRACED — Sold For Profit, Not Given Away
Every promised giveaway NFT tracked on-chain across all 6 DakDaze wallets (verified via Helius DAS API, April 2026):
dakdaze.sol: 2,017 total assets | Treasury: 12,405 total assets | Central Hub: 780 total assets | First Funder: 192 assets | Cash-out: 0 assets (SOL pass-through only) | Universal Node: 7 assets (royalty collector)
Treasury holds 12,405 assets — including an estimated 11,988 SAGA x BASC NFTs. The Cash-out wallet (DBybHtKD...Wbo8) holds zero NFTs — it functions purely as a SOL laundering pass-through, buying BASC cheap (~0.7 SOL) and funneling to the main wallet. The Universal Node (Gd3A4QRM...STuP) appears as royalty recipient in nearly every Treasury sale.

GIVEAWAY RIGGING PROOF — INSIDER WALLET "WON" ITS OWN GIVEAWAY
AGNI FIRE TRIBE giveaway announced a winner by wallet address: G9x2mKwD...TS5n7 — winning a free @XElementia mint. This is the Central Hub wallet — the same wallet with 345 interactions with dakdaze.sol, 115.72 SOL volume, appearing in ALL 4 team wallet cross-references. The inner circle "won" their own giveaway.
Separate giveaway (April 4, 2025): @AGNI_X_TRIBE (DakDaze-controlled, created in 53-min batch) announced 5 winners: @Flipfury40, @sarthak_93, @PatPigg_, @Gainz42069, @rayshearer. Instructed to "DM your wallet address." Source tweet
Every "winner" investigated — ALL are network insiders:
WinnerCreatedTweetsFollowersNetwork Evidence
@sarthak_93Oct 201425,297811Posted birthday tribute to @dak_daze (Feb 19, 2025). Bio lists BASC. Purchased BASC V2 rares. sarthak.sol = FA84Cekt...
@Gainz42069Oct 201331,5893,741Handle = GAINZ NFTs (GOTM Labz). Directly promoted @OrbisOnSOL: "game changer." Tagged @XElementia in images. Active in Stoned Ape Crew, Mob Collective (team wallet collections). Appears in 4 network timelines.
@rayshearerDisplay name "rayshearer.eth." Won ANOTHER $BASC giveaway from @lyyonss8 (separate event). ENS domain confirmed: 0xbF1697bC7a7D53a15F50d0D76D991d22F2172166. OpenSea profile active.
@Flipfury40Aug 201334,70097635:1 tweet-to-follower ratio. Empty public timeline = reply-only bot. Zero web presence outside Twitter. St Petersburg, FL (same state as Puffsterz). Created 46 days before @Gainz42069.
@PatPigg_Empty public timeline. Unverifiable.
Pattern confirmed: Giveaways serve two purposes — farm engagement from real users (99,026 actions extracted), then "award" prizes to insider wallets and network participants. The Central Hub wallet winning its own AGNI giveaway is irrefutable proof the system is rigged. The "winners" are not random — they are associates who promote DakDaze projects, post birthday tributes, and hold network NFTs.
SELF-ROYALTY SCHEME — Pays Himself On Every Purchase
Every BASC purchase by DakDaze flows through his Cash-Out wallet (DBybHtKD...) which automatically distributes:
~6.9% royalty to the Universal Node (Gd3A4QRM...) — which then funds DakDaze and his First Funder. He sweeps the floor of his own collection and pays himself royalties on every purchase.
Example: DakDaze buys BASC #4879 for 0.7 SOL → 0.762 SOL flows to Cash-Out → 0.048 SOL royalty to Universal Node → Universal Node funds DakDaze. The buyer, the royalty recipient, and the operator are all the same person.
COORDINATED FOLLOW-FARMING — Same 4 Accounts Benefit
The same accounts dominate the required-follow lists across all 33+ giveaways from both @dak_daze and @BoredApeSolClub:
@BoredApeSolClub: 24+ appearances | @dak_daze: 18+ appearances | @GooseTheBAYC: 14+ appearances | @XElementia: 10+ appearances | @StrongholdSOL: 3 appearances | @puffsterznfts: 2 appearances | @moon_blaze_: 1 appearance (GOTM Labz founder) | @SiNftGod: 1 appearance (Puffsterz) | @GAINZNFTs: 1 appearance | @GotmLabz: 1 appearance | @akh1l_sol: 3 appearances
The top 4 accounts fill the majority of required-follow slots. The giveaways exist to farm followers for Daze's own accounts and his network partners — including @puffsterznfts, @moon_blaze_ (Rico/GOTM Labz), @SiNftGod, and @GAINZNFTs — directly connecting the giveaway fraud machine to the broader network.

The "146 series" required following @puffsterznfts, @moon_blaze_, @SiNftGod, @GAINZNFTs, and @GotmLabz — the entire fraud network.
INVERTED ENGAGEMENT RATIOS — 78.6% Bot Signature
11 of 14 giveaway tweets (78.6%) have more replies than likes. Worst case: 785 likes vs 1,264 replies. Organic tweets at this scale get 3-10x more likes than replies. Inverted ratios are a hallmark of bot-driven giveaway farming.
DakDaze stats: 47,856 tweets (~35/day). 232,020 likes given (~118/day) — likely automated. Following 11,620 accounts. 14 of 20 visible tweets are giveaways.

KEY AMPLIFICATION EVIDENCE
@GooseTheBAYC — CONFIRMED DakDaze Alt (ON-CHAIN PROOF): goosethebayc.sol resolves to 5Ym11hxchmmCLrzE6SUCed2X524EStXbAysnzenR2yGP — THE EXACT SAME WALLET as dakdaze.sol and dak_daze.sol. Three SNS domains, one wallet. Irrefutable on-chain proof. Verify: goosethebayc.sol | dakdaze.sol | dak_daze.sol
THE DECEPTION PATTERN: GooseTheBAYC operates as a fully fabricated persona — with its own character backstory ("I crash landed and do not remember who my friends are"), a dedicated GitBook with lore, YouTube trailers, and a first-person voice that never discloses it is DakDaze.
Speaks as a separate person: "I crash landed" (Sep 10, 2022) | "On the way to claim my $BASC!" (May 28, 2024) | "Who needs a followback?!" — all written to make community members believe they're interacting with a different person, not the project founder.
Cross-promotes with himself: Nov 10, 2023: "Follow @dak_daze & @GooseTheBAYC" — DakDaze requires follows to his own alt. Same day: @BoredApeSolClub also requires @GooseTheBAYC. Three accounts, all DakDaze, all cross-promoting each other on the same day.
The triple-follow scam: Many giveaways require following @BoredApeSolClub + @dak_daze + @GooseTheBAYC — all three are DakDaze. Every entrant gives him THREE followers instead of one. Over 33+ giveaways with 777-1,264 replies each, this inflated his follower count by thousands through deception.
Nobody knew: No public discussion was found of anyone questioning whether GooseTheBAYC is DakDaze prior to this investigation. Community members reply to Goose as if talking to a different person. The sock puppet successfully deceived the entire BASC community.
Writing style confirms same operator: Both accounts use "Grand Rising" (uncommon greeting), the "Daze" wordplay ("Awaken To Better Daze," "365 daze"), "Ape Strong Together," and 💙💜 purple-blue heart combos. GooseTheBAYC posts within 8-11 minutes of dak_daze but NEVER simultaneously. All GM posts cluster in the PST 3am-8am window — same person, same timezone.
7 coordinated giveaway pairs between @dak_daze and @BoredApeSolClub — always within 3-15 minutes, nearly identical text. Oct 25, 2023: "Want a FREE MINT TOKEN for BASC?" (dak_daze) vs "Want a FREE MINT TOKEN?" (BASC) — 3 minutes apart, virtually identical wording. One person posting from two accounts.
@RoboXDao — Impossible Organic Growth: Only 72 tweets but 2,080 followers = 28.9 followers per tweet. Virtually impossible organically. All followers from forced-follow giveaway requirements.
Sub-DAOs — Identical Template: @BASC_SuitsDAO (3,059 followers, May 2023) and @BASC_ZombieDAO (3,413 followers, Apr 2023) follow the exact same pattern: BASC sub-DAO, Discord link, constant giveaway farming, not verified. ZombieDAO follows only 127 accounts but has 3,413 followers — a bot-like ratio for a "community" DAO.
@Solana_Pure — Paid Giveaway Service: Bio says "Alpha Caller | Ambassador | Marketing." Every tweet is an identical giveaway template. Professional engagement farming for hire.
@DralcorSol — Confirmed Team (bio: "Team - @BoredApeSolClub"): 1,268 followers. Created July 17, 2022 — just 14 days after @dak_daze. Wallet: dralcor.sol — holds BASC #5383 + 5 Elementia NFTs. 2 shared transactions with dakdaze.sol. @Gainz42069 appears in Dralcor's timeline interacting with DakDaze.
@Solana_Pure — Paid Amplifier: 7,358 followers. Bio: "Ambassador | Marketing." 95% of tweets are giveaways. Following only 445 accounts (0.06 ratio). Professional engagement farming for hire.
@5Strands_: A health/wellness brand from Atlanta, GA — tagged as required follow in Dec 2024 giveaway. NOT a BASC account — an external brand getting exposure through paid giveaway placement. Shows BASC sells follower access to outside brands.
@live4fun67 (Jolanda): Real person, joined 2014, 656 followers. Tagged in giveaways. Low activity account used as giveaway filler — not a bot, just a community participant.
@S0CIETY3: Was listed in Swiss's old bio. Cannot be found on any platform — likely deleted or renamed. Zero search results anywhere.
@JustinGainz — GAINZ-Named Shill: Handle literally named after Rico's GAINZ NFT collection. Profile image updated Feb 24, 2025 — exactly 1 month after GAINZ minted. Empty public timeline (stealth shill via replies only). Posted custom marketing material promoting Puffsterz + VibeTribe + Orbis in single tweet linking to orbisonsol.io. No SNS domain. TikTok @justin.gainz uses same 🜲 symbol as Swiss and SiNftGod. Verdict: ecosystem shill account.
Two real people in the network: @batzyyyyyy (Art Director, 2010 account) and @akh1l_sol (BASC Dev + StrongholdSOL co-founder, 21K tweets about F1/boxing/life). NOT sockpuppets — real people embedded in the ecosystem.
@Flipfury40 — Engagement Farming Participant: St Petersburg, FL. Joined August 2013. 34,700 tweets with only 976 followers — 35:1 tweet-to-follower ratio (comparable to confirmed bot accounts). Named as giveaway "winner" by DakDaze-controlled @AGNI_X_TRIBE (April 4, 2025) alongside @Gainz42069 (handle named after GAINZ NFTs). Prize: $BASC tokens — delivery unverified, matching the zero-delivery pattern across 14+ network giveaways. Zero web presence outside Twitter — no Reddit, Discord, forums, TikTok, or blockchain explorer references. Zero Wayback Machine snapshots despite 12+ years of existence. No .sol domain. Wallet not public (requested via DM). Located in Florida, same state as Puffsterz Smoke Shop LLC.
@NoldorHolder (_Judah) — Financially Motivated Network Defender: 865 followers. Joined June 2022. Orbis referral link in bio (orbisonsol.io/marketplace?ref=TVSRN) — earning commissions from a project with 0.08 SOL volume and 17 red flags. Bio declares "Orbis meta." Directly quoted Rico (@moon_blaze_ / GOTM Labz founder) promoting Orbis. Bought Orbis NFTs the same day he attacked the investigation as "fud." Steered Solana Terminals holders to list on Orbis instead of Magic Eden/Tensor. Wallet: noldorholder.sol — owns 11 SNS domains including 5 "Solana news" brands (solanabulletin.sol, solanacentral.sol, solanaupdate.sol, solanatoday.sol, solanareport.sol). Not a bot — genuine gaming interests — but financially invested in the network he's defending.
@lyyonss8 and @BUYinOC: Appear to be legitimate community participants. Diversified interests, older accounts, low giveaway participation. Not coordinated amplifiers.

KitsuneUK (Artist) — Completely invisible. Hand-drew all 6,001 BASC NFTs. Zero presence across DeviantArt, ArtStation, Behance, Instagram, Reddit, GitHub, YouTube, Twitch, Steam, Discord. No portfolio, no social media, no web presence whatsoever for a digital artist — deliberate anonymity. "UK" in name suggests United Kingdom origin. Wallet: kitsuneuk.sol — account CLOSED. Created Dec 7, 2021. 2,305 transactions. 50 NFTs including 18 BASC, BASC World Cup, Abducted BASC, BASC x Senshi.
CRITICAL TIMING: KitsuneUK and BoredDragon wallets closed on the SAME DAY. kitsuneuk.sol last transaction: June 14, 2025 at 02:39 UTC. BoredDragon SNS wallet (8aHWh43X) drained: June 14, 2025 at 04:08 UTC. 90 minutes apart. cryptohomeschooler.sol also active on June 14. The "artist who saved BASC" and the rug puller's operations wallet both went permanently dark in the same session — strong evidence of the same operator or coordinated cleanup.

PUBLIC APPEARANCE — FACE AND NAME ON THE LINE
FX Summit 2022 (Miami, May 13-15): DakDaze spoke on stage at this 1,000+ attendee crypto/forex/NFT convention. Hosted by Chart Addicts (founded by Roy Dunia and Omer Kambal). Chart Addicts is BASC's official partner — confirmed via giveaway tweet (#FXsummit sponsor). BASC Roadmap states: "Dak Daze, community leader, was invited to speak on stage at The FX Summit (a 3 day crypto, forex, nft convention in Miami, Florida)." Conference recordings, speaker badges, and attendee lists would contain his real identity. Event page.
PRIOR PROJECT — SOLARDEX
SolarDex (@solar_dex): "The first US based Solana DeFi exchange" — listed on Solana ecosystem. Co-founded with @omega_netw0rk ("Omega"). Launchpad hosted at solardex.inceptionaio.io by Inception AIO (NFT launchpad/agency, contact: helpmelaunch@gmail.com). The name "Austin" for DakDaze came from a former SolarDex associate. Omega also on Telegram.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
$Daze token: 20M supply. No public liquidity on any DEX. Team "reserves the ability to mint additional tokens beyond the stated supply" (their own docs). Not backed by SOL or USDC.
XElementia: 10,000+ supply, floor 0.271 SOL, 6.9% royalty. Wash trading confirmed — wallet H6B1xr... appears as both buyer (5x) AND seller (6x) in 20 txs. Same tokens bought and sold within hours. Multiple sales in same Solana block.
BASC roadmap: 9 of 19 items done. Remaining includes "acquire private island" and "custom wristwatches." Floor down 75% from ATH ($509 → $126). MOSC staking: shut down ("Service Shut Down, NFTs auto unstaking").
Treasury: 12,405 total assets (verified April 2026). Cash-out wallet DBybHtKD buys BASC floor (~0.7 SOL) and resells through main wallet.

Rejected By The Entire Solana Ecosystem

ZERO RECOGNITION FROM ANY LEGITIMATE PROJECT
Not a single major Solana project has ever acknowledged DakDaze or BASC. Extensive searching confirms absolute silence from the legitimate ecosystem:
Project/PersonEver Acknowledged BASC?
Frank / DeGods (@frankdegods)ZERO — never replied, RTd, or liked
MadLads / BackpackZERO
ClaynosaurzZERO
Okay BearsZERO
TensorZERO
Stoned Ape CrewZERO
@solana (official)ZERO — tagged in giveaways, never replied
PhantomZERO
Magic EdenListed but ZERO endorsement
Yuga Labs / BAYCZERO — "Not affiliated with Yuga Labs"
His own words: "I derugged a derivative with 100 SOL. Don't compare me to other founders."Source tweet. He knows the comparison is unfavorable. He said it himself.
Unsolicited NFT airdrop to founders: "Sending 50 apes to Solana founders" — not one founder acknowledged it. This is the NFT equivalent of mailing your demo tape to a record label and calling it a "partnership."
"#1 Derivative in Crypto History" — a self-awarded title that appears only in BASC's own materials. No external source, no industry recognition, no award. His "partnerships" consist of his wife's account (@MRS_DAZE), internal sub-projects, a gambling platform (@DeFiBookie), and an FX trading convention (Chart Addicts). His only conference appearance was FX Summit 2022 — a forex convention, not a Solana ecosystem event.
THE SPIDER WEB — One Shared Revenue Wallet Connects 6 "Independent" Collections
SMOKING GUN: Wallet ALKQ4fKN... (3.77 SOL) receives transactions from the authorities of 6 supposedly independent NFT collections:
BASC V2 (Fqg9mbi...) — 4 transactions
MOSC (HPaNS3L...) — 3 transactions
VibeTribe (4rcgnFxd...) — 3 transactions
Puffsterz (puffNVy...) — 3 transactions (sends P4L tokens + SOL)
GAINZ (BZeN8af...) — 2 transactions
Northlanders (C2K5qWF...) — 2 transactions
One wallet. Six collections. All paying into the same place. If these were truly independent projects run by different people, they would not share a revenue wallet. This is the definitive proof that BASC, MOSC, VibeTribe, Puffsterz, GAINZ, and Northlanders are all operated by the same entity.
TOKENS DESIGNED TO BE WORTHLESS — The Illusion of Value
$DAZE token (original staking reward): The project's own documentation states: "This token will not have a liquidity pool or any SOL or USDC backing." 20M supply. Holders earned a token explicitly designed from day one to have zero monetary value.
$BASC token (current staking reward): Price: $0.077. 24h volume: $24. Total liquidity: $26,000 across all DEX pools. Source: DexScreener. $DAZE token: not found on any DEX — zero public liquidity confirmed.
The "$20,000 airdrop" claim (tweet) loaded 5 tokens ($GOTM, $DODO, $LDZ, $MINE, $P4L) into a "vault." Multiple of these tokens don't appear on any major token tracker — the $20,000 valuation is based on theoretical peak prices that could never be realized by holders trying to sell.
The staking illusion: Holders stake NFTs → earn tokens with no liquidity → tokens are "worth" $20,000 on paper → but cannot be sold for any meaningful amount. This is a closed-loop illusion of value.
ROADMAP — 10 OF 19 PROMISES NEVER DELIVERED
From the official BASC Roadmap — 19 items promised, only 9 marked "completed":
"Private Island/Beach Resort""community will shop for their Life Time BASC Private Resort" — never delivered
"Custom Wristwatches""distributing a custom designed BASC wrist watch" — never delivered
"Five Factions System" — never launched
"Raffle System" — promised "Dinner, Airplane Ticket, or a Cruise" — no evidence of delivery
"BASC Rescue Missions" — derug-as-a-service for other projects — no project ever used it
"Explore the Metaverse" — vague promise citing "41.7% compound growth" — pure vaporware
"Second Generation (6,001 new NFTs)" — "no anticipated launch date" — promised for years
"In-Person Event" — never held
Private Islands and Custom Wristwatches are textbook NFT scam promises — extravagant commitments designed to drive initial investment with zero intention or capability of delivery. Floor is down 74% from ATH ($509 → $130).
YUGA LABS LEGAL EXPOSURE — Precedent Set April 2026
Yuga Labs won a landmark trademark case against Ryder Ripps/Jeremy Cahen for their RR/BAYC derivative collection — settled April 8, 2026. The settlement permanently bars use of "any BAYC Mark" and requires destruction of all materials.
The Ninth Circuit ruled NFTs qualify as "goods" under the Lanham Act — meaning "Bored Ape" trademark protection applies to NFT collections. BASC uses the "Bored Ape" name without authorization and explicitly states "not affiliated with Yuga Labs."
BASC operates under direct legal exposure. The April 2026 Yuga Labs precedent could be applied to any derivative using the "Bored Ape" trademark without permission. Yuga Labs has been aggressively enforcing IP takedowns across the NFT space.
DEFIBOOKIE / SOLBOOKIE — Unregulated Gambling Promoted to Holders, $10K Stolen From Customer
BASC promoted DeFiBookie (March 24, 2024 tweet, 122 likes) — an unregulated, no-KYC crypto sportsbook — claiming a "$72,000 airdrop in FREE BETS" for BASC holders. Referral link: defibookie.io/register/BASCabal — an affiliate kickback arrangement.
$10,000 STOLEN FROM CUSTOMER: A verified complaint on BookmakersReview (Feb 21, 2024) documents: user deposited $20K, grew account to $45K through winning bets, account was locked because they were "winning too much and crushing their P&L." Owner David Martin Ventura personally admitted to the user that the treasury was depleted and he "didn't think they could survive another week." The remaining $10,000 balance was zeroed out by retroactively canceling previously-graded winning bets from 4+ weeks prior.
THREE name changes: SolBookie → VBookie → DeFiBookie. Original SolBookie NFT collection (999 supply) rebranded twice. The Tensor listing still shows "VBookie (Legacy)." Three names for the same operation — each rebrand distancing from prior complaints.
Identified operators: David Martin Ventura (owner, LinkedIn: "Chief Alien Officer CAO") | Juice Martin (@youlovejuice, co-founder, San Jose, Costa Rica). Costa Rica has no gambling licensing framework — zero consumer protection.
No gambling license. No KYC. No geographic restrictions. Not listed on any major crypto betting comparison site. Zero Reddit presence. Zero Trustpilot reviews. NFT holders were promised "equity through profit sharing" — an unregistered securities claim.
SolBookie connection to More Bears: SolBookie was involved with the More Bears NFT launch. vibetribe.sol (Puffsterz #1 wash wallet) holds 6 More Bears NFTs. VibeTribe Treasury purchased 20-30 More Bears in June 2024. The same network that promoted DeFiBookie to BASC holders was also involved in the More Bears ecosystem. More investigation coming.
BASC was funneling holders to a sportsbook that had already demonstrated insolvency — the BookmakersReview complaint was posted the same month as the BASC partnership announcement (Feb-Mar 2024). No evidence the $72,000 "FREE BETS" airdrop was ever distributed.
PAID AMPLIFICATION CONFIRMED — Raid-For-Tokens Model
The amplification is PAID, not organic. @Noba_Sol publicly stated: "JUST RAIDED A BUNCH OF @GAINZNFTs HOLDERS AND WOKE UP TO 3K $GOTM SITTING PRETTY IN MY WALLET. No farming, no grinding... literally just raiding the fam and the team blessed us." Community members receive $GOTM tokens for promoting GAINZ/BASC — every "raid" participant is being paid.
GOTM DAO pays 50% of profits monthly to DAO members — Puffsterz, VibeTribe, THC Labz, MOB, SoDead all receive financial incentive to cross-promote. This isn't community spirit — it's a revenue sharing arrangement.
Promotional article by Jeff Opdyke (Medium) — former Wall Street Journal writer. Published "Why BASC is a Valuable Historical NFT Project." No disclosure. Same writer previously promoted SolanaBankBox — a confirmed rug pull. Serial NFT promoter pattern.
Network insiders identified: @Adammcg20 (GAINZNFTs mod + GOTM DAO team + SolDonkeyverse co-founder — triple-network insider) | @Omerta_SOL (GOTM partner — the wallet controlling 55% of Puffsterz listings also trades Omerta, confirming wash trading crossover)
FIRST PUBLIC DOCUMENTATION — No Prior Coverage
No major crypto investigator has examined this network before. Zero coverage from ZachXBT, Coffeezilla, Rug Radio, or any established fraud investigator. This analyzer69000 investigation is the first public documentation of the BASC/Puffsterz/GOTM fraud network — covering 82.5% wash trading, 33+ fake giveaways, 48+ coordinated accounts, 13 wash wallets, a shared revenue wallet connecting 6 collections, direct SOL transfers between BASC and Puffsterz wallets, and worthless staking tokens designed with zero liquidity.
THE SOLFLARE CONNECTION — Borrowed Credibility
DakDaze wears a "Solflare Community" badge on his X profile (verified — badge links to @SolflareEmpire). He lists @Solflare in his bio and requires following @solflare in giveaways.
Solflare's community program (Guardians/Ambassadors) is open to anyone — it's a legitimate program run by Solflare (co-founded by Vidor Gencel and Filip Dragoslavic, based in Serbia/Croatia). Joining it does not constitute an endorsement.
No evidence Solflare corporate is aware of or endorses the BASC/Puffsterz fraud network. Zero interactions found between official Solflare accounts and any fraud network member (@puffsterznfts, @SWISS_SOL, @SiNftGod, @GotmLabz). Solflare's marketing lead specifically highlighted other communities (Dead King Society, Lucid Drakes, Geckos) — NOT BASC.
The pattern: DakDaze joins an open community program → puts the badge on his profile → requires following @solflare in giveaways → creates the appearance of a Solflare endorsement that does not exist. This is credibility laundering — borrowing a trusted brand's reputation to legitimize a fraud operation.

IRREFUTABLE: DakDaze Controls Puffsterz On-Chain

DAKDAZE.SOL DIRECTLY FUNDS PUFFSTERZ WALLETS ON-CHAIN
Direct SOL transfers from dakdaze.sol to Puffsterz infrastructure:
dakdaze.sol → puffsterz.sol: 0.009 SOL (Mar 27, 2026) + 0.003 SOL to GOTM fee wallet in same transaction
dakdaze.sol → vibetribe.sol: 0.100 SOL direct transfer (Mar 30, 2026)
dakdaze.sol → VibeTribe NFT purchases: 1.09 + 0.872 + 0.545 + 0.545 + 0.500 + 0.490 + 0.600 + 0.490 SOL — each generating 7% royalty to vibetribe.sol (Feb-Mar 2026)
Puffsterz royalty pipeline verified: Royalty wallet 1 (7jQV...) sends 100% to puffsterz.sol — 17 out of 17 transfers confirmed.
Puffsterz Update Authority (7Emey6...) has 10,876 signatures since May 4, 2023 — nearly 3 years of continuous collection admin operations.
5-LAYER DEEP TRACE — Puffsterz Operator Chain
Layer 1: dakdaze.sol directly sends SOL to puffsterz.sol, vibetribe.sol, and buys VibeTribe NFTs. 45 direct transactions with vibetribe.sol documented.
Layer 2: rQyzdb93... funded the Puffsterz Update Authority. Connects to puffsterz.sol + vibetribe.sol + GOTM fee wallet (DzoaYiU1...).
Layer 3: 4P3PUTAF... — current Puffsterz operator (816 txs since Jan 2026). Also connects to puffsterz.sol + vibetribe.sol + GOTM fee wallet.
Layer 4: BsLnyuZK... funded the operator. Burns 21 compressed NFTs (cleanup).
Layer 5: BsLnyuZK... self-funded Feb 27, 2026 — deliberate chain break. Intentional anti-forensics.
Every layer of the Puffsterz operator chain connects to the same three wallets: puffsterz.sol, vibetribe.sol, and the GOTM fee wallet. Combined with dakdaze.sol's direct SOL transfers to these wallets and the shared revenue wallet (ALKQ4f) receiving from 6 collection authorities, the operational relationship is proven on-chain.

The Connected Network

Rico (@moon_blaze_) — GOTM Labz founder. Built infrastructure for Orbis AND Puffsterz. Named as XElementia team member (Daze's project). "Appreciation post for Puffsterz founder."
Karim Adhami (@SiNftGod) — Puffsterz LLC President. Co-founded VibeTribe with Swiss. "Aped in 40+" GAINZ NFTs.
Savage (@cryptosavage44) — Official "Ambassador for Puffsterz and Vibe Tribe." Linked GAINZ to Orbis.
Nuddies (@Nuddies_) — Uses GOTM Labz staking infrastructure (verified live). Former CTO exposed by @zachxbt for fabricating a hack and stealing 94 SOL. Operator @inkedtoshiNFT posts 59.7 tweets/day (automation). Same GOTM infrastructure powering the entire network.
GOTM LABZ — 27+ PROJECTS ON ONE UNREGISTERED INFRASTRUCTURE
"GOTM Labz Ltd" is NOT registered at UK Companies House — despite using "Ltd" on all platforms. An unregistered entity running financial infrastructure (staking, launchpad, token swaps, trait stores) for 130+ Solana projects. Run by Rico (@moon_blaze_) with no public identity.
GOTM platforms (all verified live): nftstake.app (NFT staking) | nftlaunch.app (launchpad) | traitstore.app (trait customization) | shift3.app (burn/swap) | gotmlabz.io (main site)
THE SMOKING GUN — GAINZ staking distributes tokens from the ENTIRE network: The GAINZ staking page (3,088 staked) pays $GOTM as primary reward AND distributes 48 active airdrops including $P4L (Puffsterz), $FRENS (Frens Factory), $RISE (MOB Collective), $MINE (Enchanted Miners), $BASC, and USDC. This proves the entire token ecosystem is interconnected through one platform.
GOTM DAO MEMBER PROJECTS (royalties go to DAO/Treasury):
Puffsterz (staking live) — 92% fake volume, LLC President Karim Adhami | VibeTribe — "extension of Puffsterz Corp," staking token $VAPE | THC Labz (@THC_Labz, staking live) — ships cannabis via USPS (federal felony) | MOSC (@MutantsOnSol) — staking SHUT DOWN | MOB Collective (@MOBCollective_) — $RISE token unfindable | SoDead (@SoDeadNFT) — DOUBLE-RUGGED: original founders stole 600 SOL, "derugger" then generated $350K+ in royalties and also rugged | DKV — minimal presence
GOTM-SUPPORTED PROJECTS (confirmed infrastructure users):
Frens Factory (@Frens_Factory) — $FRENS distributed via GAINZ | Enchanted Miners (@enchanted_nfts, staking live) — $MINE distributed via GAINZ | Nuddies (staking live) — former CTO exposed by @zachxbt | Laughing Bones (staking live) | Northlanders — DakDaze holds 27 | Vtopia (@vtopiaio) — $591 market cap, dead | Big Cats — staking disabled/maintenance | Stoned Sloths, Bohemia, MNK3YS, The X Bank
GOTM DAO ACQUIRES DEAD PROJECTS:
Undead Genesis, Candies NFT, and at least 1 additional unnamed project — acquired by GOTM DAO for rebranding and further royalty extraction. The playbook: buy failed projects cheap, rebrand, extract remaining value through royalties and token issuance.
ECOSYSTEM TOKENS (all interconnected through GOTM):
$GOTM/$UNISIN (~$0.003, ~$750 daily volume) | $P4L/Puffsterz ($158K mcap, $78/day) | $BASC | $VAPE | $THC | $MLabs | $FRENS | $RISE | $MINE | $CRUMBS (dead) | $Daze (no DEX liquidity) — 11+ interlocking token pairs with near-zero real volume
