Aerodrome contributor Ace, identified as @Ace_da_Book, reportedly capitalized on insider trading by purchasing $50,000 worth of VVV tokens just six minutes after their release. Half an hour later, relevant parties issued the token's public announcement, allowing Ace to make a $1 million profit from the transaction.

Ironically, following the sell-off of tokens, Ace congratulated the VVV team on Twitter, exclaiming "Banger launch, congrats team!" This public commendation comes amid claims of internal trading suspicions during the VVV token issuance, with Aerodrome announcing the suspension of two contributors.
