Noticed an indictment for the second one, what i can't understand 'rugpull = take liquidity/funds'
If i sell you a apple, and i sell other people apples.
And i put some cash in a jar where you can exchange your apple for cash if you are not happy, and after a while, i take the cash as there's no interest in exchanging said sold apples for cash for a return, and between you and the bunch of hillbilly apply lovers you create a 'community' and encourage others to buy whilst holding the supply, and the price rises which you guys sell to people for a higher price than i sold the apple to anyone.
And i take my salary from the revenues of the apple sales.
Then i get bored and move on to a new business or take a week off.
and then the bubble you and your community made bursts.
I am charged with fraud.
> Am i missing something here? because that's essentially what this is (nfts) or is it so stupid.
