Adult film star Lana Rhoades is being criticized for her non-fungible token (NFT) project called “Cryptosis,” after $1.5 million of ethereum from the mint was withdrawn from the project’s wallet. The crypto withdrawal took place after Rhoades told her fans that the NFTs would be a “lucrative investment for holders,” and following the community disapproval, the porn star deleted her official Twitter account.
Lana Rhoades Accused Of Rug Pulling For Her NFT Project. Porn Star Deletes her Twitter Account
Crypto industry professionals are condemning Lana Rhoades’ role in Cryptosis. This NFT project features 6,069 NFT animated images of an adult movie star. Coffeezilla’s video claims that Rhoades took a substantial amount of Ethereum (ETH) out of the project.
The claim is that Rhoades touted her NFT collection as a “lucrative investment,” but after the withdrawal and myriad statements stemming from the project’s Discord channel, belief in the Cryptosis NFT project has plummeted.
Coffeezilla and others have called the move a “rug pull,” which is a term widely used in the crypto industry to describe a project that raises a large sum of value, but then the creator abandons the project and takes the initial funds raised as well.
In another video, the Youtuber Coffeezilla’s video description says that “Rhoades is not new to crypto, she has done several tokens in the past, [as] Lana has even helped with other NFT project rug pulls such as Stickdix, Titscoin, and Pawgcoin.”
Rhoades was apparently furious about the accusations and posted a few tweets about Rhoades after the video was uploaded. “Youtubers are f***ing sickos, diseases of the internet who will do anything and say anything for views,” the adult film star said. Rhoades also added:
I have a 1-month-old baby to take care of, just what I wanted to do was scam ppl, get the f*** out of here with this bullsh**. It doesn’t mean that a project didn’t go according to plan. Ppl try to inflict harm on views.
At the time of writing, the porn star’s official Twitter account is gone, as it’s been deleted. However, a large portion of Rhoades’ social media account on Twitter has been saved on archive.org.
Currently, people are still buying Cryptosis NFTs and on Opensea, Rhoades’ NFT collection has a floor price of 0.018 ether or $50.23. A Cryptosis NFT #5795 listing has been listed and is seeking $3.1 Million.
Many others are also looking for Rhoades NFTs worth hundreds of thousands of dollar. Although, these hopeful Cryptosis NFT sellers don’t seem to be selling at all. Since February 22nd, when Cryptosis’ average sale price was 0.1624ether (or $453.20 for each Cryptosis NFT), sales activity in Cryptosis has dropped.
