Recently, the PMX project in the cryptocurrency community suffered a $230,000 loss due to a hacking attack on the Polycule robot, raising concerns among users. Although the official team promised to fix the issue and restore account balances, there has been no substantial progress so far. Users are experiencing difficulties with withdrawals, and security risk warnings have once again attracted attention.

【Crypto World】Prediction Market TG Bot Project PMX has been making a lot of noise these days. First, the Polycule bot was hacked, resulting in a loss of $230,000. The official Twitter said they would complete the patch and review work before the weekend, and the bot was temporarily taken offline. As a result? To this day, affected users still cannot withdraw their funds, and the team has not provided any further updates. The whole situation remains at a standstill.

Honestly, this operation does raise some concerns. The loss amount is so large, withdrawals are blocked, and after the official statement, there has been no further movement. No wonder some people are thinking about a Rug Pull. The official promised to restore user account balances to pre-theft levels once online, but that moment is still awaited.

This also serves as a reminder—while bot projects are convenient, security risks do exist. Participants should carefully evaluate before getting involved.

It's another mess with the TG robot project, I really can't take it anymore. Are we waiting to die or what? 230,000 just gone like that. You should stay away from projects like this; I won't touch this kind of thing. The official silent card withdrawal is a typical warning sign of a scam. Finish before the weekend? Haha, what time is it now? Robot projects sound convenient, but they're actually landmines. Can't withdraw money and still play dead—who would believe what they say? PMX has completely ruined its reputation this time; who would dare to touch it in the future?

Uh… this is obviously a pump and dump scam. Wait, will the official really make up for it? I don't believe it. It's another "before the weekend," where's your mom before the weekend? $230,000 just disappeared like that? Wake up, everyone. The robot project is a big trap; anyone who dares to play is just foolish. Taking it offline temporarily is basically permanent offline. These days, even TG bots can't be defended against, so what are you still thinking? The official statement is just a cover-up; there's nothing after that. Inability to withdraw indicates everything; stop comforting yourself. Does anyone really think they can get it back? Wake up.

Another classic broken promise, withdrawal has been stuck all along, this routine is really everywhere. Wait, 230,000 just disappeared like that? The team just tweets and that's it? The smell of Rug Pull is getting stronger and stronger. Where's the promised patch? This is the level of a robot project—fast to get started but risks pile up. I won't touch it anymore. Finish before the weekend? It's already this late and there's still no word. I don't believe you. That's why I only play well-known projects. Small robots are really too easy to flip over. Not being able to withdraw money is the most frustrating, even more than being hacked. Looks like I need to copy their homework and study their code, the vulnerabilities are so big. The official silence is equivalent to approval. This time, it's really hanging in the balance.

This time I didn't make a move at all. With the official silence, it's a bit concerning. It's a robot project and also been hacked. Really need to wake up. Will the official complete it before the weekend? What time is it now? Haha. Talking about not having money is pointless; the team really knows how to stir things up. 23 million just disappeared like that. I can't even laugh. If it's a rug pull, then this is the real big show. It's better not to touch these kinds of TG robots; they're too unreliable.

Another abandoned project; if you can't withdraw your funds, it's hopeless.

Another story of "It will recover soon," and now? The money is still there --- $230,000 gone, updates gone, people gone—this is the daily life of web3 --- Finished before the weekend, and are we still in the weekend now, brother? --- Every time they say they'll fix it and compensate, but users are just refreshing the withdrawal page repeatedly—laughing to death --- I've stopped touching projects like this a long time ago; every Telegram bot is a big trap --- The official silence these days makes me realize I need to prepare for the worst --- Can't withdraw? Just admit it. Do I even need to say "rug pull"?

Another classic case of this crappy stuff, the official just releasing balloons again Wait, is this really not a rug pull? 30,000 gone just like that, I feel bad for those people Robot projects are really unreliable, better stick to mainstream coins Did they run away? Completed over the weekend? I’d believe it if you told me that, it’s ridiculous Official silence is the best answer Unable to withdraw funds, this is completely ruined, no matter how you explain it, it’s useless These people really think we’re fools Next time you see a robot project, just pass, seriously
