Ronaldinho: Another Sam Exposed - He Robbed His Fans 2nd Time still he has no Regret
This is Ronaldinho, a football legend who just pulled a fast one on his own fans! He launched $STAR10, a memecoin that turned out to be a scam. Just yesterday, he withdrew over $100 MILLION from his rug pull. I’ve conducted a detailed on-chain investigation into $STAR10, revealing exactly how Ronaldinho pulled off this fraud.
Let’s dive in ⬇️
Before we get started...
If you appreciate deep-dive investigations like this, please like and repost! Your support helps my account grow and motivates me to continue exposing scams and bringing you top-tier alpha content. I truly appreciate it—thank you! 🙏
1/ Who is Ronaldinho?
Ronaldinho is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder and left winger. He represented Brazil in two FIFA World Cups, played 97 matches for the national team, and scored 33 goals during his international career. As one of football’s biggest icons, Ronaldinho had global recognition and trust—which he just exploited for a crypto scam.
2/ The Power of Influence
Ronaldinho built a massive following over the years, gathering 21 million followers on X. With such influence, he had the ability to shape opinions and drive engagement. Unfortunately, instead of using his platform for something meaningful, he chose to rug pull his own fans.
3/ A History of Controversy
This isn’t the first time Ronaldinho has been involved in a serious scandal. Back in 2020, he was arrested in Paraguay for attempting to enter the country using a fake passport. Both he and his brother were caught with forged documents, leading to a brief stint in detention. Even after this incident, his reputation remained largely intact—until now.
4/ The $STAR10 Launch
On March 2nd, Ronaldinho deployed his own memecoin, $STAR10, and immediately posted the link to the official website on his X account. The price skyrocketed within hours, but the details behind the scenes were far from clean.
5/ The Setup for the Scam
Before launching $STAR10, Ronaldinho suddenly became very active in crypto, posting daily reminders and hyping up the project. This was the first time in his entire career that he had ever spoken about crypto, despite having zero knowledge in the field. It was all part of a calculated promotional campaign designed to increase buy volume and create artificial hype before the dump.
6/ The Aftermath – A 70% Crash
The price of $STAR10 has already dropped by 70%, and there’s a clear reason for it. Ronaldinho and his team sniped a massive portion of the supply at launch, meaning they were in control of the market from the start. His fans were unknowingly being used as exit liquidity for Ronaldinho and his insiders.
7/ On-Chain Proof
Here’s the current #STAR10 BubbleMap, which provides clear evidence of how this scam unfolded. The largest wallets are all connected to Ronaldinho—he and his team acquired over 95% of the circulating supply before even revealing the official contract address.
8/ Fake Trading Volume
If you check DexScreener, you’ll notice something unusual: The so-called “top traders” of $STAR10 are actually Ronaldinho’s own wallets. This means there was no real demand for the token—just insiders moving funds around to make it appear legitimate. The total amount extracted? Over $100 MILLION stolen from his fans.
9/ Even Binance CEO CZ Issued a Warning
Binance CEO CZ also warned about $STAR10, highlighting its high-risk factors. One of the most alarming aspects? The contract allowed the owner to burn any token at will. This meant that Ronaldinho had the power to erase your entire holdings with a single click.
10/ Conclusion – If You Hold $STAR10, Beware!
If you’re still holding $STAR10, you need to be extremely cautious. This token was never designed to benefit retail investors—it was created to enrich Ronaldinho and his team. He’s already dumped 70% of the chart, and it won’t be long before it’s down 99%. This was a planned exit scam from the beginning.
There you have it! Ronaldinho, once a revered football legend, now infamous for his crypto scam. Stay vigilant out there! 🚨

What is "Social Engineering"?

You might think securing your crypto is all about strong passwords and fancy tech, but what if the biggest vulnerability is actually… you? It’s not your fault, we all have a human side that scammers love to exploit.

Imagine someone trying to get into your house.

Instead of picking the lock (that's like hacking software), they just convince you to open the door!

🚪 Social engineering in crypto is exactly that: it's not about breaking code, but tricking us - the people - into giving up sensitive info.

Scammers use psychology, making you feel urgent, curious, or afraid.

We often focus on device security, but our human emotions are the real target. It feels so sneaky, right?

Therefore, we sometimes miss red flags, trusting a helpful-sounding stranger. The key is realizing these aren’t technical hacks, but clever mind games.
Therefore, the 'fix' isn’t a new firewall, but a new mindset.
Always, always verify requests for information independently, even if they seem from someone you know or a trusted source.

If an unexpected offer makes you feel pressured or overly excited, stop and double-check through official channels.

Realizing you are the first and best line of defense against these sneaky tricks is truly empowering! 💪

Small habits compound into strong protection. 
1) Lock down your account:
Turn on two-factor authentication and keep the second factor on a separate device. Use a strong, unique password or passkey, keep your OS, browser, and apps updated, secure the email tied to your Binance account, and avoid public Wi-Fi for sign-ins. Learn how in Binance’s 2FA guide.
2) Verify before you connect or sign:
When exploring Web3, slow down at the signature screen. Double-check the URL through official channels, read what you are approving, and test unfamiliar DApps with small amounts. Ignore surprise tokens or “free airdrops” you did not request, and periodically revoke old approvals. Use Binance Verify and this phishing primer.
3) Report fast with complete details:
If you suspect theft, contact local law enforcement and open a case with Binance Support immediately. Include transaction hashes, wallet addresses, asset, chain, timestamps, and screenshots. Faster, complete reports improve the odds of a precautionary hold while facts are verified.
4) Guard your keys:
Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Keep them offline. For long-term holdings, prefer a hardware wallet.
5) Reduce device exposure:
Use a separate device for trading rather than everyday browsing, gaming, or downloads. Do not run unknown software. Treat unsolicited DMs and links with caution and verify claims through official channels.
6) Be skeptical of “recovery services:”
Many outfits that promise to get funds back for an upfront fee are scams. Do your own research, avoid granting remote access, and do not pay in crypto or gift cards. See Binance’s guidance on fraudulent recovery services.
7) Bonus for builders:
Audit smart contracts before launch, protect secrets in secure vaults, use hardware signers and multisig for sensitive actions, and set up monitoring with clear runbooks for admin changes, unusual mints, and bridge activity.

A crypto investor recently fell victim to an "address poisoning" scam, losing 4,556 ETH worth $12.25 million. The scam occurred when the user copied a fake address from their transaction history, which was designed to mimic a legitimate wallet address. This incident follows a similar case in December where another user lost $50 million in USDT due to the same type of scam.

Address poisoning scams involve attackers generating vanity addresses that match the first and last characters of a target's trusted contacts. These fake addresses are then embedded in the victim's transaction history, making it difficult to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent addresses.

How to Protect Yourself:

- Never copy-paste addresses from transaction history
- Manually verify each character of the recipient's address
- Use wallet aliases to label trusted contacts
- Bookmark frequent recipients in your wallet's whitelist

These scams are becoming increasingly common, with over 1 million attempts detected daily on Ethereum. Blockchain transactions are irreversible, making it crucial to exercise caution when sending cryptocurrency.

In the glitzy world of social media finance, a new breed of "guru" has emerged. They flash luxury cars, trade in high-end watches, and promise that the next "100x" coin is just one "buy" button away. But as the 2024 and 2025 crypto markets have shown, many of these viral recommendations are less about financial freedom and more about a calculated cycle of fake promotion and the "dump."
The Anatomy of the Influencer "Pump"
The scam isn't just a random accident; it’s a choreographed performance designed to exploit the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
The Hidden Accumulation: Long before the video goes live, the influencer or their "sponsors" accumulate massive amounts of a low-cap, worthless token at near-zero prices.The Paid "Review": The YouTuber releases a video titled something like "THE NEXT BITCOIN? (Don't Miss Out!)". What they often fail to disclose—violating SEC and FTC regulations—is that they were paid tens of thousands of dollars to read a script.The Artificial Spike: Followers, trusting the creator’s "expertise," rush to buy. This massive inflow of retail money causes the price to skyrocket—the Pump.
The "Dump": When the Hype Hits the Ceiling
While the YouTuber is telling their audience to "diamond hand" (hold) the coin for long-term gains, the reality behind the scenes is the exact opposite.The Exit Strategy: As soon as the price hits a predetermined peak, the influencer and the project founders sell their massive holdings. The Liquidity Trap: Because these coins often have "low liquidity," the massive sell-off causes the price to crater.The Result: Within hours or days, the coin's value drops by 90% or more. The influencer walks away with a "marketing fee" and trading profits; the followers are left holding "worthless bags."
Pro Tip: Use blockchain explorers like Etherscan or Solscan to see if a few wallets hold more than 10-20% of the coin. If they do, you aren't an investor—you're the exit liquidity.
The Bottom Line
In the crypto world, if an influencer is shouting about a coin for free, you are the product. Their "research" is often just a paid advertisement for a scheme designed to fail. Always remember: if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably a dump.
