Pump.fun / Solana Labs / Jito Labs — RICO MEV Class Action (SDNY 2026)
Summary
Aguilar v. Baton Corporation Ltd. (Case No. 1:25-cv-00880-CM) is a federal class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Pump.fun operator Baton Corporation Ltd., Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, and their named executives, alleging a coordinated RICO racketeering enterprise centered on the Pump.fun memecoin launchpad. A second amended consolidated complaint was filed January 7, 2026, supported by over 5,000 alleged internal chat logs, and seeks between $4 billion and $5.5 billion in compensatory damages — potentially tripled under RICO. Jito Labs, initially named as a co-defendant for alleged MEV-enabling conduct, obtained a voluntary dismissal of claims against it in September 2025 without any settlement payment.
