• The "Timeline" section correctly follows the format "Month day, year, time UTC:".

  • In the first sentence of the "Summary", consider adding "the" before "Binance Smart Chain" for better readability.

• The "Early Indicators" section provides valuable insights into potential red flags. Consider elaborating on each point to provide more context and guidance for readers.
