The collection’s floor price drop has been widely attributed to its founder, “Ice Bagz,” and its team members allegedly promoting the RTR token, which purported to be an “official” Trump token. However, Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump firmly denied the token’s connection with the family.

A community member responded to Bagz, saying he had told his followers to buy before the X post and had hurled insults toward the Kanpai Pandas founder. Another X user said that Bagz and his team are now playing the “confused victim card” after allegedly making millions.


Meanwhile, an X user reacted by sharing a note: “Don’t be a scammer if you’re already building a successful project.”
