Aqua Bot successfully received $4.6 million in pre-sale with the promotion of “Ecosystem Partners”

Aqua Bot is a Telegram trading bot that raised $4.6 million in token pre-sales. The bot allegedly deceived contributors by transferring funds to the exchange and giving up communication. Onchain investigators reported that the deployer manipulated liquidity pools and distributed tokens to create false asset allocations. Meteora and Dialect, a well-known Solana team accused of supporting the project, both denied being involved, with Meteora promising to strengthen internal processes, while Dialect clarified that no compensation was received.
