Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous marketing lead known as Lucie has taken to her X account to publish a post that discusses “shady bad actors” that target the cryptocurrency community around the globe.
Lucie hinted that some SHIB community members retweet X posts from those fraudsters from time to time and said that her message is “Just a reminder that retweeting shady bad actors isn’t exactly the peak of intelligence.” She added that those “shady bad actors” eventually sell their accounts to other users.
Leaving her X post as a “clear warning,” Lucie stated: “Do as you wish, as long as you don’t scam people.”
Just a reminder that retweeting shady bad actors—who will later sell their accounts—isn’t exactly the peak of intelligence. But hey, I’ll save this tweet as a reminder of my CLEAR WARNING.
Enjoy, do as you wish, as long as you don’t scam people.
Happy life!— 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 (@LucieSHIB) November 23, 2024
Lucie’s guidance to SHIB army on avoiding rug pulls
Prior to that tweet, Lucie issued another X post as she answered a question from a SHIB enthusiast about whether the SHIB team is doing their best to “eliminate rug pulls.”
Lucie said that she believes “there’s no way to completely eliminate rug pulls.” However, what the SHIB team does is focus on educating and warning its community. Lucie suggested following “reliable sources,” such as the @susbarium account on the X app, which often published scam warnings and alerts about the SHIB ecosystem and its coins for its followers.
As for the above-mentioned methods used by the SHIB team, which are “education and precautions,” she said that it is important to stay updated about various risks and upgrades within the SHIB ecosystem. She also said it is important that Shiba Inu users gradually learn to “recognize red flags and research thoroughly before engaging with any project.”

She also pointed out that in order for decentralization to work, there is a big need for “collective awareness and caution to navigate safely.” Therefore, she doubled down on her advice to “stick to accounts with integrity for accurate information.”
