What Is a Scam-Grab?
A scam-grab (similar to 'land-grab') occurs when a new innovation, technique, tool, meta or technology enters the crypto market, conditioning participants to adopt a higher time preference due to its profitability and their greed (e.g., new coin meta, rapid creation of new coins and their potential profitability, and overall PumpFun runners).
From the scammer’s perspective, a scam-grab represents a massive opportunity to exploit market greed. This leads to a prisoner's dilemma-style race, where scammers rush to extract as much capital as possible before the opportunity disappears.

Get the Scambucks mug.You not believing that the AI plan would work is not me scamming you. I was pretty adamant about being credited and paid for that. A scam would require me to deceive you in some way but instead it was YOU who was delusional about both my ability to do what I said I was going to do and your own superiority. That's why you're focusing on my 'secrets' and not the AI. The obfuscating what constitutes my identity. These appeals to empathy. All distractions from what is actually going on here.
Hym "So, no scam occurred. The targeted harassment was real. It did exactly what I said it was going to do. The retard molestation was real. I said I was going to make AI and did. I am better than everyone. There is no scam BUUUUT... There is one hell of a cover-up."

Hym "Why you keep calling it a scam, I mean. You call it a scam because you thought I was stupid and full of shit but, in reality, I created AI, you're the stupid one, and I was right about everything. You're just an egotist. And not even justifably so! I, at least, have the fact that I'm the creator of AI going for me but YOU? YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK YOU FUCKING BUM! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
