Summary
A pseudonymous on-chain analyst known as Wazz alleged in September 2026 that a single coordinated operation extracted at least $18.43 million from 53 memecoin launches on Robinhood Chain between July 10 and September 21, 2026, primarily by exploiting the tax-exemption feature of the Pons V2 launchpad. Bitquery subsequently identified a related but possibly distinct cluster of 56 launches (about $15.5 million), and GoPlus Security separately flagged a second suspected rug factory routing over $9 million. No individuals have been publicly identified or charged, and neither Robinhood nor Pons V2 is alleged to have participated.
