A recent incident involving the theft of $2 million worth of SOL tokens from Pump.fun, a popular application on the Solana network for issuing meme coins, has stirred controversy. The individual responsible for the theft, a former employee, defended their actions by criticizing the management of Pump.fun and expressing no remorse for their actions. The attacker targeted accounts facilitating token liquidity transfers to Solana's decentralized exchange Raydium. Despite acknowledging their impending legal consequences, the attacker asserted that they aimed to disrupt Pump.fun's operations, citing dissatisfaction with the company's management and alleging long-standing mistreatment of users. They claimed to have accelerated the inevitable downfall of Pump.fun, believing the company was destined for bankruptcy due to mismanagement and unethical practices.
