Okay, now I don't get what's frigging wrong with some guys hacking wallets with recently listed cryptos and sending eth and transferring them out??? That's a new low, or is it an old trick?

There's a quite old trick, a couple of months old already, I'm not sure if this is the one you are asking about.
The guys post here and there "by mistake" the private key of ETH wallets. The wallets have a good number of tokens and no ETH. As soon as you want to steal from them and you send ETH to have gas, a smart contract sends away that ETH, leaving the "public" wallet again without ETH.
Quite an elaborate scam...

That make sense. But I did not have any idea about this scam before and just came to know with your post. I am pretty sure that this hacks may repeat themselves over the time as soon as new lot of investors jump into the market. Being new they dont even understand whats going on and just keep on adding few tokens in the wallet. These are the one's who fall for such traps. Its always better to have the private keys in the coded form and away from the forums, websites and google doc. Never share them over there, its your personal thing.  Wink
