Crypto Feud Escalates as Alleged Scammer Leaks Screenshots in FaZe Banks-Adin Ross Dispute
New screenshots leaked by Sahil Aurora—a figure previously accused of crypto fraud—have intensified the public feud between YouTube creator FaZe Banks and streamer Adin Ross. The conflict revolves around the alleged rug pull of the MLG cryptocurrency project, which was aggressively promoted to Ross's audience during a livestream earlier this year.
Initial claims suggested the stream aimed to help Ross build a crypto portfolio with support from Banks and his associates, dubbed the 'LA Vape Cabal.' Instead, it became a launchpad for MLG, a token now widely accused of being a scam. Investors allege the coin's developers abandoned the project after its market capitalization peaked at over $200 million, leaving holders with worthless assets.
Social media posts accuse Banks' group of exploiting the HYPE as an exit opportunity. The controversy highlights recurring risks in influencer-backed crypto ventures, where celebrity endorsements often overshadow due diligence.
