The community bluntly stated that this is "chart crime, no different from falsifying token economics."

Project Team Hires 4 Developers Online, Actually the Same North Korean Hacker

On March 27, the Blast ecosystem project Munchables was hacked for $62.5 million. According to on-chain detective ZachXBT's investigation, it was because one of their developers was a North Korean hacker, and the four different developers hired by the Munchables team were all connected to the attacker, likely being the same person. They recommended each other for the job and regularly transferred payments to the same two deposit addresses on trading platforms, with the "four" wallets showing mutual transfer behavior.

Based on annual earnings, the North Korean hacker should have made more than many listed companies.

A Well-Known Cross-Chain Project with L Surname Asks "Witches" to Surrender, a Historical First

That’s not all; the project team stated that whistleblowers must provide at least 20 addresses clearly involved in witch operations, and rewards will be prioritized for the first successful submission. Subsequently, the reporting mechanism was further updated to introduce a deposit system.

As a result, any subsequent meme projects that burned liquidity would be labeled with the Slerf narrative for community CX.

Lighting Himself Up for Everyone's Entertainment

A Dev from Pump.Fun soaked himself in isopropyl alcohol to boost the meme's market value and live-streamed fireworks aimed at himself, attempting to create hype for his meme coin. The token price skyrocketed by 2000% within hours, reaching a market cap of $2 million. However, due to a lack of necessary fire safety measures, he was instantly engulfed in flames, suffering third-degree burns and hospitalization, unable to sell the tokens. After recovery, he found he could not use his hands normally, and even facial recognition on his phone could not recognize him. Later, this Dev exited the project, and the final outcome was that he did not sell the tokens in time.
