Top 10 Rug Pulls | Bankless

This Bankless article ranks the top 10 DeFi rug pulls of all time, using DefiLlama's list of onchain rug pulls to avoid judging intent, with AnubisDAO first at about $60M lost in October 2021. The article says insiders exploit user trust to steal assets, often through malicious code in smart contracts. It also argues that about 84% of the funds lost across the top 10 were lost in 2021, and that auditing firms and community members have grown more vigilant since then.
