How they scammed people.

A token sold on a family name. A 98% collapse. A scrub.

Father runs Aviator — the global slot-style gambling product made by Spribe. Son Alex Natroshvili launched a Solana memecoin called $NATRO on Pump.fun and pitched it on the family name and the Spribe / Aviator reputation. People bought in. Within 72 hours the price collapsed ~98%. Refund requests were refused. The team admin's reply: "Nothing to say." The founder's personal Telegram reply when contacted directly: "stfu." Within the same window the website was taken offline, the NATRO link was removed from the founder's Instagram bio, and the paid KOL video (@jrcryptex, 114K followers) was deleted. The blockchain trail, the archived website, and the chat logs were not.

On 21 May 2026, a Solana memecoin called $NATRO was launched on Pump.fun by Alex Natroshvili — son of David Natroshvili, founder and CEO of Spribe, the studio behind the global gambling product Aviator. The pitch was the family name. Within seventy-two hours of refunds being refused, the website, the promotional video, and the social-bio links had all been scrubbed. The blockchain trail, the archived website, and the chat logs were not.

What happened · longer version

$NATRO was marketed as a "networking coin" promising tier-gated access to private chats with high-net-worth individuals and industry insiders. The pitch leaned explicitly on the Natroshvili family name and the Spribe / Aviator association as the trust signal.

The website's own FAQ — captured in full on the Wayback Machine before deletion — addressed the rug-pull question directly: "The reputation hit lasts forever; the cash from a rug doesn't." The founder's 30,000,000-token bag was publicly committed never to move, with the line: "If that bag ever moves, you have permission to roast us publicly."

Within days, the price collapsed approximately 98%. Refund requests from affected holders were refused. The team admin's response to a structured proposal: "Nothing to say." The founder's personal Telegram reply, when contacted directly: "stfu." Within the same 72-hour window, the official website was taken offline, the NATRO link was removed from the founder's Instagram bio, and the paid promotional video by KOL @jrcryptex was deleted from Instagram.

This file documents what was promised, what was delivered, and what was removed afterwards.
