Kishu Inu (KISHU) is an Ethereum-based meme token launched in April 2021 that reached a peak market capitalization exceeding $1.6 billion with approximately 283,000 holders. In October 2026, a federal grand jury in Chicago indicted Alexander Sisemore, 28, of Fayetteville, Arkansas — one of the token's founders — on three counts of wire fraud, alleging he secretly allocated 6% of the token supply to himself at launch and sold those holdings while publicly denying any insider allocation, generating approximately $9 million in alleged proceeds. The charges are accusations; no conviction or guilty plea has been entered.
