The scammers have finally targeted Robinhood Chain.

Written by: Eric, Foresight News

On the morning of September 5, the Robinhood Chain P juniors, who had stayed up all night, fell for a meticulously designed scam.

The meme coin on Robinhood Chain named SLINK (Shivolink) saw its market value shoot up from $500,000 to $82 million within half an hour, only to drop back down after 45 minutes.

This apparent market volatility common in meme coins was, in reality, a rather sophisticated scam.

The protagonist of the story is Shivon Zilis. She is the Director of Operations and Special Projects at Neuralink and is also the mother of several of Musk's children. Her X account @shivon has hundreds of thousands of followers and mainly shares progress related to brain-machine interfaces, rarely discussing cryptocurrencies directly.

The manipulators behind SLINK managed to break into this real account and did not immediately publish a contract address or airdrop link. Instead, they made more precise preparations: they linked Neuralink's official account to Zilis's personal bio and added a newly registered "experimental account" @shivolink (this account has now been blocked). This fake account fabricated a story that perfectly matched the background of Neuralink:

This account claimed it was a non-profit experiment led by MIT students, allowing several paralyzed patients with implanted chips to jointly operate a single account to post. To sustain operations, the experiment relied on token trading taxes for "funding," and accordingly posted SLINK's contract address. Subsequently, the hacker used the stolen Shivon Zilis account to quote that tweet, adding a particularly misleading phrase stating, "I rarely post crypto content besides DOGE, but what these young people are doing impressed me."

The account description was updated with project information, and the hacker personally retweeted and commented on the project tweet, effectively solidifying the entire narrative. Perhaps even the hacker didn't anticipate this, but Musk himself later replied to the related tweet with a "💯." Of course, it is very likely he was simply giving a thumbs up to "brain-machine interface applications" and did not examine the content of the tweet closely.

Many might have hesitated when seeing a tweet from the mother of Musk's child, but with Musk himself liking it, there was no reason not to rush in. Shivon Zilis's retweet boosted SLINK's market value from over $500,000 to over $6 million, while Musk's "100," pushed SLINK's market value from over $6 million to $82 million.

However, the climax lasted only a short while.

The scam was quickly uncovered, and after the related tweets were deleted, the price plummeted rapidly. On-chain data shows that dozens of early-positioned inside wallets sold off at the highs, collectively profiting over $4.7 million, with returns peaking at over a thousand times. Meanwhile, some traders who entered heavily after seeing the "Musk interaction + Zilis endorsement" suffered substantial losses.

This was a meticulously designed scam by the manipulators behind SLINK. The hackers constructed a cross-verified "evidence chain": real executive accounts, official connections, brain-machine interface narratives, and even inadvertently attracted Musk's interaction. Ordinary monitoring tools or AI screening could easily judge these clues as "highly credible," thereby accelerating FOMO.

This incident serves as another reminder to the market: in a meme cycle driven by celebrity effect, social graphs have become attackable assets. The more seemingly perfect and verifiable a story is, the more caution is needed. Managing positions and independently verifying is always more important than "everyone else is buying."
