Summary

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.
