AnubisDAO was an OlympusDAO fork that launched on October 28, 2021, and raised approximately 13,556 WETH (roughly $60 million) in under 20 hours through a Copper Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool. Before the sale concluded, the entire pool was drained to an external wallet, wiping investors to zero; on-chain investigator ZachXBT later identified two pseudonymous actors — Beerus and Ersan — as the likely perpetrators, and traced the stolen funds through Tornado Cash in 2023. No criminal charges have been publicly confirmed, no investor recovery has occurred, and the ANKH token is worthless.
