*Solana Meme Coin* Church Turns on Pastor After Scam Allegations Surface
Pastor Kelby has been ousted from the Church of the Smoking Chicken Fish, following a number of allegations surfacing.
Absurdist meme coin Smoking Chicken Fish (SCF), which evolved from a Solana token into a religion with plans to build a physical church, has ousted its de facto leader amid a flurry of “scammer” allegations. With this, the remaining team has retaken control of the project’s website and Telegram channel, and is currently fighting to get into the Twitter account.
Community and core team members of the SCF token claim that Pastor Kelby took payments from derivative projects without notifying the rest of the team, received “church donations” directly into his personal wallet, and has launched a number of “rug pulls.”
Pastor Kelby did not respond to Decrypt’s repeated requests for comment via Telegram or LinkedIn.
Smoking Chicken Fish is a meme coin that started with a weird photo. But things took a turn when contributors developed their own moral and philosophical laws, turning into a “church” that worshiped “Lord Fishnu” and registered as a nonprofit organization. Pastor Kelby led daily sermons where he read passages from his favorite self-help books.
