PANews reported on October 30th that Bubblemaps, in its latest update to the " MEGA Presale Witching " investigation, stated that a whale allegedly manipulated the MegaETH (MEGA) presale, investing $5 million through over 20 on-chain linked addresses. On February 9th, address 0x5D8 deposited 1 ETH into each of 159 new wallets via the Disperse protocol. Of these, 19 wallets participated in the MEGA presale, each subscribing to the maximum allocation of $186,000. At 17:58 (UTC) on February 12th, wallet 0x5D8 received 0.02 ETH from 7 wallets, all of which had subscribed to the maximum allocation in the presale. These 7 wallets were all deposited by OKX (similar to 0x5D8). These 26 wallets subscribed to approximately $5 million in the MEGA presale, 26 times the allowed allocation. Bubblemaps stated that it hopes to collaborate with the MegaETH team to identify as many of these wallets as possible.
