Which Type of Rug Pull Is Easier to Prosecute Legally?

A hard rug pull is generally easier to prosecute because it involves clear, verifiable on-chain actions like draining a locked pool or exploiting a coded backdoor, which constitutes explicit fraud. A soft rug pull, involving slow selling, is much harder to prosecute as it can be disguised as legitimate market activity or simply poor project management, making the criminal intent difficult to prove.
