The company and its three named founders — Noah Tweedale, Alon Cohen, and Dylan Kerler — are defendants in a live federal RICO class action in the Southern District of New York (Aguilar v. Baton Corporation Ltd., 1:25-cv-00880-CM) after Judge Colleen McMahon allowed wire fraud, illegal gambling, and unlicensed money transmission claims to proceed following a motion-to-dismiss ruling issued August 31, 2026.

Its three directors of record are Noah Tweedale (CEO), Alon Cohen (COO), and Dylan Kerler (CTO), all of whom are named individually as defendants in the federal RICO litigation. Dylan Kerler is listed as a German national. The company operates Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad that publicly launched on January 19, 2024. The three founders, who are reported to be in their early twenties, met in Oxford, UK. The requester and some sources describe Baton Corporation as British Virgin Islands-incorporated; however, public Companies House records show UK incorporation.

The platform charges fees on token creation and trades. According to DeFiLlama data, Pump.fun has generated over $700 million in cumulative protocol fees as of mid-2026, with an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $460 million. Platform revenues peaked in late 2024 and early 2025 during the memecoin supercycle, with daily revenues exceeding $10 million at peak. By January 2026, fee revenue had declined approximately 75% year-over-year to $31.8 million for the month. The consolidated class action complaint alleges that more than 14 million memecoins were launched on the platform, with 98.6% of them reportedly collapsing to zero value. The complaint further estimates aggregate retail investor losses between $4 billion and $5.5 billion. These loss estimates are allegations made by plaintiffs and have not been adjudicated.","heading":"Platform Overview and Fee Revenue","sources":[{"url":"https://defillama.com/protocol/pump.fun","name":"pump.fun Fees, Revenue and Volume — DeFiLlama","type":"on_chain","credibility":2},{"url":"https://yellow.com/research/pump-fun-700m-fees-memecoin-launchpad-economics-2026","name":"Wall Street Missed Pump.fun's $700M Fee Run — Yellow Research","type":"research","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.burwick.law/active-cases/pump-fun-and-solana-rico-lawsuit-aguilar-v-baton-corporation","name":"Pump.fun and Solana RICO Lawsuit: Aguilar v. Baton Corporation — Burwick Law","type":"other","credibility":2}],"severity":"high"},{"content":"A federal class action, Aguilar v. Baton Corporation Ltd d/b/a Pump.Fun, Case No. 1:25-cv-00880-CM, is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York before Judge Colleen McMahon. The suit was initially filed in January 2025 and a second amended consolidated complaint was filed on January 7, 2026, on behalf of investors who purchased memecoin tokens launched on Pump.fun between March 1, 2024, and July 23, 2025.\n\nOn August 31, 2026, Judge McMahon issued a ruling on defendants' motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all claims against Solana Labs, Inc. and the Solana Foundation. Securities Act claims relating to the FRED and GRIFFAIN tokens were dismissed with prejudice after the court found they did not satisfy the Howey Test common-enterprise prong. Securities claims on the remaining 18 tokens were dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff Diego Aguilar's RICO counts were dismissed for failure to plead a domestic injury.\n\nHowever, RICO counts brought by plaintiffs Carnahan and Okafor — alleging wire fraud, illegal gambling, and unlicensed money transmission — survived the motion to dismiss against Baton Corporation and its three founders individually (Noah Bernhard Hugo Tweedale, Alon Cohen, and Dylan Kerler). The court found wire-fraud predicates adequately pled, anchored in part on Alon Cohen's public statements describing Pump.fun as 'an unruggable fair launch platform and an even playing field,' which plaintiffs allege were knowingly false. This is an accusation at the motion-to-dismiss stage; no liability has been determined.\n\nIf plaintiffs ultimately prevail on the RICO claims, the statute allows treble damages. Based on the plaintiffs' estimated investor losses of $5.5 billion, potential treble damages exposure has been sized at approximately $16.5 billion. This figure is a plaintiff's calculation and not a court finding.\n\nA separate procedural issue arose regarding 25 unnamed Key Opinion Leader (KOL) defendants who had not been served since the suit began; the court set a September 10, 2026, deadline for plaintiffs to explain the delay or risk dismissal of those claims.","heading":"Federal RICO Litigation — Aguilar v.

The messages were reportedly cited in support of the motion to file the second amended complaint, which Judge McMahon granted in December 2025. Plaintiffs allege the messages document coordination on 'token program behavior, validator and priority inclusion paths, or launch flow mechanics,' and that insiders were given priority access to newly launched tokens through maximal extractable value (MEV) infrastructure before public trading began. Jito Labs was voluntarily dropped from the case by plaintiffs prior to the August 2026 ruling. These are allegations; no court has yet made findings on what the chat logs prove.
