How this kind of attack works
The team or whoever held control took the funds themselves, for example by pulling liquidity or minting and dumping tokens.
Would a pre-payment check have helped
Rugpull contracts are usually new, with no history and no audit — visible warning signals before paying, used as signals only, never as proof.
