When I read and learned that the public blockchain was shut down, and their Telegram official channels and X platform account were gone, it was obvious that they were really scammers
and it is a pity for those they left behind and were also victims at the same time.
So many things happened this year 2025 because of those rug pulls, So to your question if regulations can help, my answer is a big YES,
it will help to prevent these kinds of rug pull situations.
To me, the most serious thing is how they managed to literally shut down their own Blockchain, how is that even possible? It is only possible if the Blockchain itself is centralized and perhaps not even open source. If it was closed source then that would have been a big enough red flag for anyone to get away from it, of it was open source, how come nobody audited and realized there was a function which allowed a single person to shut down the whole thing with a single command?
I have seen scam Blockchains in the past, but even those were intelligent enough to actually have a transparent and decentralized code, so people may feel more trust towards it. This is just a different level of blatant ignorance by investors if they put their money on a centralized Blockchain.
