Protocol social channel has scam-coordinator flag
Liquid Collective (LsETH)'s assessment for RD-F-165 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Confirmed prior Telegram brand impersonation event: February 2024, a scam Telegram group impersonating the @liquid_col brand was identified and reported by the official Liquid Collective team. This was an external clone channel (impersonator), not a compromised official channel member. The official team detected and reported it promptly. No evidence of subsequent scam-coordinator flags on official channels found in public sources. Assessment date is approximately 15 months post-incident. The institutional user base provides partial mitigation, but downstream retail exposure via platform-operator on-ramps exists. Score is yellow for confirmed prior brand-impersonation Telegram activity, with no current active evidence.
