There’s this guy who plays with Solana shitcoins, @fabianosolana. He spent over a month sneaking into dozens of mid-tier KOLs’ private Telegram groups, and last night, he spilled everything. He said after this whole experience, he finally understands how this business works. It’s a five-step process. First, they build their positions in low-market-cap meme coins. Then, they drop signals in their own Telegram groups. Fans and copy-trading bots rush in. Five to ten minutes later, they dump. After dumping, they go back to Twitter to flex their “results.” From the moment they called it, the community sees a 2x. “Thanks for trusting me.” The second layer is even dirtier. These mid-tier KOLs with 10K to 60K followers are all in the same private group, coordinating to push the same coin at the same time across their channels. Three or four seemingly unrelated accounts hyping the same coin simultaneously—that scene, you’ve seen it before. Back then, you probably thought it was consensus. The ones he called out are all those accounts that love preaching about position discipline and emotional control on your timeline. Some of them, he even used to genuinely trust. That “KOL’s top pick” you aped into yesterday? The sell orders were already set up five minutes before you bought in. And the person who placed those orders is now thanking you for your trust.
