On November 3, 2024, unidentified scammers compromised the X (Twitter) account of rapper Wiz Khalifa (35.7 million followers) and used it to promote two fraudulent Solana meme coins — $WIZ and $WIZZLE — launched on pump.fun. The $WIZ token reached a peak market cap of approximately $2.5 million within 15 minutes before collapsing over 95% in under one hour, with at least two insider wallets extracting a combined $160,000 in profit. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT linked the incident to a broader campaign of celebrity account takeovers that allegedly stole over $3.5 million in total, and subsequently accused a former professional Fortnite player known as 'Serpent' of involvement in the coordinated scheme.

pump.fun (operated by Baton Corporation Ltd., also listed on AVOID.NET as 'pumpdotfun') is a Solana-based meme token launchpad that launched in January 2024 and rapidly became one of the most-used token creation platforms in crypto, generating over $800 million in cumulative revenue and more than 11.9 million tokens. The platform is subject to an active RICO class action lawsuit in the SDNY alleging up to $5.5 billion in retail losses, a UK FCA regulatory ban, a $1.9 million insider flash loan exploit, documented use by North Korea's Lazarus Group for money laundering, and independent research classifying 98.6% of its tokens as rug pulls or fraud.

Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) is a Solana-based AI-narrative memecoin launched via Pump.fun in October 2024 with no verified product utility. The token reached an all-time high of approximately $0.92 in November 2024 before declining over 98% to roughly $0.013 by mid-2026. It has been subject to a documented co-founder token dump, a suspicious 49% flash crash on Binance in April 2025 attributed to large coordinated sell orders, and broad sector criticism from on-chain investigator ZachXBT who labeled 99% of AI agent tokens as scams.
