What an interesting name Xd, although thousands of similar cases and stories seem to occur daily and particularly within the space of NFT projects, which from my experience are especially susceptible to such situations, we see many people still investing in such projects and believe in quick profits blinding them to buy worthless NFTs most of the time.
This recent rug pull alert highlighted by the crypto detective, is relatively so small compared to instances where some people and owners have stolen millions of dollars using the same methods, creating a peoject, NFT, a presale then a rug pull. Many project owners will likely claim to be hacked or tell different stories to espace some responsibility of what happened or take away suspects.
However, some cases do result in responsible of the project or more particularly the scammer being caught and at least the funds being returned to investors. For instance I read about recent case involving a Presale project, the owner run with investors' funds which were foolishly sent via the Binance platform that has his name and everything as a decentralized platform. Binance then froze the owner's account and returned the funds to investors, so hopefully the same thing will happen in this case.
