A controversy has emerged surrounding the $MLG token following a leaked direct message from Banks, a key figure associated with the token. In the message, Banks blamed streamer Adin Ross for the token's crash, accusing the community of using Ross as exit liquidity and criticizing his reaction to the situation. Banks claimed he never sold any $MLG tokens while managing the project, which grew from $3 million to $200 million in value. Adin Ross has denied any involvement in causing the crash but confirmed the authenticity of screenshots showing Banks selling his entire $MLG position. The token reportedly soared 100% to $22 million, reaching its highest level since February 15, after Banks publicly disclosed selling his holdings. The incident has sparked debate within the community, with some criticizing Banks for encouraging Ross to buy $MLG during a livestream. The situation has also reignited discussions about Banks' reputation, with some accusing him of a history of scams in the crypto space.
