What happened
On January 13, 2026, the $NYC memecoin was accused of a classic rug after liquidity was pulled shortly after promotion from a high-profile account.
There is not much technical subtlety here. The pattern described by researchers is the standard memecoin circus: loud public promotion, fast inflows, liquidity removed, late buyers stranded. Once again, the interesting part is not the code but the distribution mechanism: credibility and audience were the real attack surface.
