Best scam I've ever seen: 1. Guy posts his MEW private key in a chat. 2. $5k worth of Minerium in it, no ETH for gas. 3. Half the people in the chat send gas to take it. 4. Smart contract. Auto-sends the $ETH to another address; keeps MNE in the account. Fucking brilliant.

While you're here, sign up for Binance if you haven't already. Next-level exchange so you don't get next-level scammed. binance.com/?ref=10863106 For everyone curious, this is what it looked like in chat; censored the private key for the safety of those curious.
Fuckin' hell, I'd honestly applaud if that happened to me. Much more skill than the Twitter spam.
Yeah, not gonna lie, I'm 100% impressed. Everyone in the telegram was. Even the people who sent were just like, "damn, gg bro."
Can't other people run the same scipt to send the ETH to their own wallet?
Theoretically, I'd say someone could try to out-sweep the account. You just couldn't take the MNE, because there's only $10 or so actually available.
So the guy send the private key on purpose and bc of his script the ETH people are sending were transferred to another ETH address of him?
Wasn’t this posted on reddit? Or was it you who posted it on reddit?
Nah. I would've called it a honeypot, but figured that would raise more questions with most people.
