The story of the TRUMP, MELANIA, and LIBRA memecoins just got much darker. According to a lawsuit and blockchain analysis, Benjamin Chow, co-founder of Meteora DEX on Solana, has been accused of being the mastermind behind a scheme involving 15 different token scams that generated over $100 million in profits for insiders while retail investors lost billions.

This isn't just another meme coin rug pull-it's a sophisticated technical fraud that exploited the very infrastructure that was supposed to enable decentralized trading.

If you've been following crypto news lately, you might be asking yourself: Should I even be providing liquidity right now?

The headlines are brutal. Web3 is Going Just Great tracks a constant stream of exploits, rug pulls, and hacks. Just in the past few weeks, we've seen Truebit lose $26 million, Yearn Finance get exploited for the fourth time, and Trust Wallet's browser extension compromised in a supply chain attack. The list goes on and on.

So should you be worried? The honest answer is: Yes, you should be concerned. But that doesn't mean you should avoid liquidity provision entirely.
