Less than a month after the story of Peanut($PNUT ) the squirrel and Fred the raccoon broke headlines, Mark Longo, the owner of the two pets whose tragic deaths caused a public outcry and spurred a movement, has launched his own token.
Longo spoke in a Twitter video about how he came to process the story of Peanut and Fred and has decided to launch a new token on Solana called Justice for Pnut and Fred (JUSTICE) to honor the memory of his pets.
He's also accused the crypto community of profiting from his personal trauma.
$PNUT community members have pushed back, pointing to approximately $50,000 in donations made to Longo, which they claim he immediately sold.
At the time of writing, JUSTICE has over $53.8 million in market cap with over 14,000 holders, according to data from Solscan, which was minted using the DeFi meme coin platform, Pump.fun.
