๐ฎ Stunt or Scam? Two Arrested in WNBA โGreen Dildoโ Chaos Linked to Memecoin Promo ๐ฟ
A bizarre streak of sex toys thrown onto WNBA courts has rocked the leagueโsix to seven incidents since July 29 across multiple cities.
The meme token group behind Green Dildo Coin (DILDO) claims it orchestrated the stuntsโas a โmarketing move and a protestโ against toxic memecoin culture, with the green color symbolizing bullish candle charts.
Two suspects have been arrested: Delbert Carver in Georgia and 18-year-old Kaden Lopez in Phoenix, both charged for their involvement.
The WNBA and players, including coach Cheryl Reeve, have condemned the actsโcalling them disrespectful, dangerous, and not funny. The league warns of one-year bans and legal consequences for offenders.
Meanwhile, betting platforms offering wagers on such disruptions have been slammed as irresponsible, potentially incentivizing copycat behavior.
๐จ Another Rug Pull? CrediX Disappears After $4.5M Hack
On August 4, the Solana-based DeFi platform CrediX was exploitedโhackers gained admin access, minted unbacked tokens, and drained around $4.5 million before transferring it through Tornado Cash and bridging to Ethereum.
CrediX promised funds would be returned within 24โ48 hours, even hinting at an agreementโor "successful parley"โwith the exploiter.
Instead, by August 8, the team had gone completely silent. Their website, X (Twitter), and Telegram vanishedโraising alarms across the crypto community.
Exit scam or failed recovery? Either way, this vanishing act hits hardโleaving users in limbo and highlighting the risks of trust-based DeFi governance.

๐ Sheetz Goes Full Web3 โ 50% OFF Crypto Payments! ๐
Starting August 2025, Sheetz is launching a brand-new promotion called "Crypto Crave & Save." At over 750+ locations nationwide, customers can get 50% off their purchases daily from 3 PM to 7 PMโbut only when paying with cryptocurrency via the Flexa network.
Key Details:
Discount applies to most in-store purchases (food, snacks, made-to-order items); fuel is excluded according to some reports.
The offer is powered by Flexa, which instantly converts your crypto (e.g., $BTC , $ETH , USDC) into fiat at checkoutโkeeping things seamless for both customers and the store.
Running every day 3 PMโ7 PM, it's designed to boost traffic during slower retail hours and promote real-world crypto use.
Crypto fans on Reddit are buzzing: โ50% off when paying with crypto? That is actually fucking wild.โ
โLowkey insane.โ
Loyal users point out important caveats like $15 per transaction caps, limits on frequency, and excluded items.
Scammers posing as Salomon Brothers are targeting dormant BTC wallets. They send tiny โdustโ transactions with a 90-day warning to โprove ownershipโ or lose coins. Victims are directed to a fake site โ a phishing trap.
๐ก Reality: BTC canโt be seized for inactivity. Only private keys prove ownership. Never share info or sign via unknown sites. If targeted, ignore the notice or move a small amount to a new wallet to confirm control.
