People are hyped over a Pudgy Penguin (PENGU) token farming hack claiming $20K in plushies could flip to $50K. But it’s all shaky math—actual NFT rewards might be worth $0.50, not $50. Plus, the refund trick raises red flags and ethical concerns. TL;DR: Risky move, probably not worth it.
Crypto Twitter’s buzzing about a controversial Pengu token (PENGU) farming trick that claims a $20K spend on Pudgy Penguin merch could turn into $50K. Sounds too good to be true? That’s because it probably is.
Here’s the deal: By buying 1,000 Pudgy plushies and figurines, you’d get linked NFTs that supposedly earn $50 each in the PENGU airdrop. Do the math—$50K in tokens for a $20K investment means a $30K profit, right? But there’s a massive catch. This plan assumes you can bulk-buy, scan all the QR codes, and return the items to Amazon without issues. Oh, and it also assumes the token value will actually be $50 per NFT. Spoiler: it won’t.
Crypto insiders say PENGU’s likely worth closer to $0.50 per NFT, slashing potential profits to nearly nothing. Plus, trying to game the system this way could hurt the Pudgy Penguin community, causing artificial demand and leaving legit buyers in the dust.
To make things messier, Pudgy boxes in some New York stores are already being tampered with—QR codes stolen! Instead of shady refund schemes, some suggest donating the toys to charity and keeping things ethical.
Bottom line: This hustle isn’t worth the risks. Don’t let FOMO lead you into a bad move.
