<p>According to Truth Labs, fraud was rampant across various sectors of the Ethereum ecosystem. Wallets, Layer 2 solutions, bridges, protocols utilizing ERC20 standards, stablecoins, NFT-selling protocols, wrapped tokens, centralized exchanges (CEX), and decentralized exchanges (DEX) reportedly faced thefts, exploits, and rugs.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The normalization and acceptance of thefts, rugs, and exploits were noted as concerning trends within the community. Truth Labs pointed fingers at influential figures within Ethereum, accusing them of engaging in pump-and-dump schemes while contributing to the normalization of unethical behavior. The question posed by Truth Labs was straightforward: Why didn’t Ethereum’s key participants and influencers prioritize speaking out against these illicit activities and taking action to prevent them?</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>They wrote on X, “From the very first day through Today, they kept us busy spending the large majority of our time researching, deeply, Ethereum &amp; the largest known fraud, exploits, thefts, rugs, &amp; thugs associated with it, or built on Top. We must share that with you because our Goal isn’t to instigate or stir up the pot. Our goal has been to understand, educate, and hopefully help save what’s been lost in Crypto.”</p> 
</blockquote> 
<p>The anonymous influencers involved in these activities raised additional questions about the lack of accountability within the Ethereum ecosystem. Truth Labs expressed frustration over the apparent disregard for people’s financial losses, stressing that individuals entrusted with shaping Ethereum’s future seemed indifferent to the rampant fraudulent behavior.</p> 
<p>Truth Labs disclosed that their extensive research involved documenting and understanding ongoing fraud, identifying those responsible, and uncovering connections between individuals and locations involved in illicit activities. Their database of wallets and known networks, created through this research, primarily associates with bad actors within the Ethereum ecosystem.</p>
