The NFT launched by Irene Zhao made investors scam again
Irene Zhao rose to fame in early 2022 by selling her photos as NFTs, amassing over $5 million in a matter of months.

Irene Zhao was exposed to participate in So-Col’s opaque allocation
In February 2023, Irene Zhao’s startup So-Col received $1.5 million from DWF Labs in exchange for SIMP tokens, which were reportedly locked until February 2024.
However, blockchain data shows that DWF transferred 3 million SIMP in March, which contradicts the locking agreement and raises further doubts about Irene Zhao’s integrity.

The meme coin IDK based on Solana is also created by Irene Zhao
Around March 25 this year, when IDK reached its peak, Irene Zhao frequently posted related buying tweets throughout the day to encourage followers to take over IDK at a high price.

Conclusion
Irene Zhao calls herself the so-called Asian mother and continues to scam her followers through new projects. Her public image is undoubtedly smearing Asian women.
However, Irene Zhao can still gain so many staunch followers with this kind of practice. Is it because she uses her better appearance to avoid vulgarity, or is it because she, who calls herself an Asian mother, has completely brainwashed her "babies"?
