Claiming you are down to buy, hodl, and help promote a community coin cryptocurrency project, but take all your money and run the moment you get a x10. Saying you'll hold, then leaving the moment any profit happens.
The Community Coin's development team proved the project isn't a rug pull, and the value skyrocketed until some big hodlers treated it like a pump and dump scheme and did the Investor's Rug Pull. They left the developers and the community in the ditch and tanked the coin.

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.
The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.
