This video I watched from Altcoin Daily is a deep dive into some serious drama in the crypto space, focusing on the popular Telegram trading bot, Banana Gun, and an Ethereum block builder named Titan. Honestly, the allegations are quite shocking.
The core issue is an alleged insider-driven scheme. When users of Banana Gun pay priority 'tips' or 'bribes' to ensure their trades go through fast, they believe that money is entirely used for transaction speed. However, the video claims that Banana Gun had an undisclosed arrangement with Titan to split the leftover portion of these tips. Instead of being refunded to the user or declared as revenue to be shared with token holders, this money was allegedly pocketed by the two parties.
The sheer scale is what gets me—the community claims users have been siphoned out of about 18,745 ETH, or roughly $60 million, in hidden fees. This revenue was allegedly kept secret, directly undermining the advertised revenue-sharing model for Banana Gun's token holders.
Beyond the hidden fees, the video brings up other major concerns, including allegations of insider-led token distribution during the launch, questionable volume manipulation to attract investors, and confusing explanations for certain user wallet drains.
The host was very careful to emphasize that these are all allegations based on community-compiled, publicly available data, and all parties are innocent until proven otherwise. But the message from the dissatisfied community is clear: they are demanding full transparency, a public accounting of the arrangement with Titan, and the return of every dime allegedly taken. It’s a powerful call for accountability in the industry.
