Summary

Bubblemaps reported that a MegaETH presale participant allegedly deployed more than 20 linked wallets to invest $5 million, far surpassing the individual cap. The 26 wallets collectively subscribed at 26 times the allowed quota, with many funded through OKX. This activity mirrors earlier findings of Sybil attacks during the sale where entities exploited loopholes in KYC enforcement by using third-party identification. The scale of this whale’s activity underscores significant vulnerabilities in presale controls.
