Bogus Story Claims CEO Smuggled 20,000 Condoms into Singapore
DoginHood Meme Coin Creates Fake News Hoax
In an odd twist, the team behind DoginHood, a crypto-based mobile game, has fabricated a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article alleging their founder was arrested for smuggling 20,000 condoms into Singapore. The fake article was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the project on Saturday.
Crypto Scams Take a New Turn with DoginHood’s Stunt
The falsified article claimed the arrest took place at 4 PM SGT and tied the bizarre incident to a crypto conference in Singapore. The DoginHood team further fueled the hoax, stating that they had contacted their legal team to resolve the situation.
Fake News and Crypto Memes: A Growing Trend?
The fake WSJ article featured an edited logo and misleading formatting but was quickly debunked, as Wall Street Journal never published such a story. This stunt adds to the growing list of crypto memes and potential scams circulating in the digital currency world.
