A BNB Chain Dogecoin-style memecoin/DEX. In July 2022, PeckShield said developer-controlled wallets executed a 'soft rug pull', selling ~$4.5M of TEDDY (converted to ~10,000 BNB + 2M BUSD, sent to Binance). TEDDY fell ~99%.
An Avalanche OlympusDAO-style 'reserve memecoin' run as an 8-day experiment (Nov 2021). When its promised treasury-funded 'buyback' opened on a private AMM, SDOG crashed 90%+ in seconds; only ~7% of supply could sell at a profit and insiders reportedly back-ran it for ~$10M. The team called it a 'game-theory experiment'.
A Solana memecoin launched on Pump.fun in November 2024 by a teenager who 'rug-pulled' it live on stream, selling his ~51M tokens for ~128 SOL (~$30K). He repeated the move with further tokens; the community then doxxed him and ironically pumped QUANT.
CEO of Kelsier Ventures and the figure on-chain analysts and reporting place at the center of a cluster of 2025 memecoin launches — $LIBRA (Argentina), $MELANIA, and $WOLF among them. Wallets tied to him netted $100M+; Argentine prosecutors sought an Interpol Red Notice. He denies wrongdoing.
