There was no legitimacy to the GUNIT token.
On Friday, it was claimed that 50 Cent and his millions of social media followers were the targets of a pump-and-dump cryptocurrency fraud. The scheme resulted in hackers pocketing a significant amount of money before it was ultimately shut down. It is not known how much money they made; the rapper initially stated on Instagram that “whoever did this made $300,000,000 in 30 minutes” (according to Cointelegraph), but the post has subsequently been changed to show that they made $3,000,000 as of today afternoon. I will not make a pun that starts with “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” and I will not make a pun that begins with “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.”
50 Cent’s X account and website, Thisis50, were utilized by the con artists in order to promote $GUNIT. In a post on Instagram that included photos of the growing chaos, 50 Cent had written, “My Twitter and Thisis 50.com were hacked. I have no association with this Crypto.” He continued by saying, “Twitter put in a lot of effort to quickly lock down my account.” Additionally, it appears that his X account and Thisis50.com are still not accessible. Be careful out there, and be suspicious of celebrities who are trying to sell cryptocurrency.
