If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’m someone very intentional and calculated about every move that I make in CT. After a few months of deliberation, I’ve decided to join my friends and fellow $BATON whales, including @hdegroott, @chairman_dn and @sadcrissy, on the Pump fun app.

I want to explain why I’m making the switch and why I think it makes sense for you to follow along.

1. I’ve used both apps, and Pump fun has improved significantly over the past few months. I initially hesitated using the app a few months ago but you can’t deny the very impressive progress made on the app over the past few months. Before deciding, I tried the app anonymously and found that my bids filled much faster than on FOMO which is super important to me. Also, with perps now available, it also offers much of what I’ve been looking for in one platform. I’ve made over $275k trading perps this year, and I wanted a place where I could trade both memes and perps. Perps will also be part of my challenge going forward.

2. More importantly, I’ve been a $PUMP maxi by association the past few weeks via $BATON which is currently my biggest position. Since I’m backing $PUMP and want to see it succeed, trading on the Pump app feels like a natural fit. Every other $BATON whale I personally know is already there, so it makes sense for me to join them.

3. Lastly, and this is the part many of you may be interested in: I recently started a $20k-to-$5m challenge and reached an all-time high of $300k within a week of the challenge. I haven’t sold any of my positions because I believe there’s a lot more upside ahead and I want us to win together. My plan is to complete this challenge in 2-3 months and I’d like you to follow the journey with me on the Pump app. The Pump team has also committed to supporting this challenge, including spotlighting my performance so we all win together.

Really excited about the future! Let’s win!

If you are in Texas and you are considering Voting for Ken Paxton, please just read this post in full before making your final decision:

Everyone else, please share.

Financial misconduct and corruption allegations
- Violated Texas securities law (2014). State regulators reprimanded Paxton and fined him $1,000 for soliciting investment clients without the required registration. This was an established regulatory violation.

- Indicted on three felony charges (2015). Prosecutors accused him of securities fraud and acting as an unregistered investment adviser representative. He denied wrongdoing.

- Accused of misleading investors about commissions. Prosecutors alleged he recruited investors into technology company Servergy without disclosing that he was being compensated.

- Agreed to pay nearly $300,000 to resolve the securities fraud prosecution (2024). His pretrial agreement required restitution, community service and legal ethics education. The criminal charges were subsequently dismissed without a conviction or admission of guilt.

- Impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House (2023). The House approved 20 articles alleging bribery, abuse of office and other misconduct. The Texas Senate subsequently acquitted him on the 16 articles considered at trial.

- Accused of using the attorney general's office to help wealthy donor Nate Paul. Former senior aides alleged that Paxton intervened in legal matters involving Paul, who had donated to his campaign.

- Accused of using government authority against a donor's enemies. House investigators alleged Paxton pursued investigations targeting people involved in disputes with Paul.

- Accused of interfering with federal investigations. Former aides alleged that Paxton tried to obtain confidential investigative information concerning Paul and obstruct cooperation with law enforcement.

- Accused of accepting expensive home renovations from a donor. Investigators alleged Paul helped fund major renovations to Paxton's Austin home, raising potential bribery questions.

- Accused of making a $122,000 payment to conceal the renovations. Impeachment managers alleged that Paxton transferred money to a Paul-associated company after his relationship with Paul came under investigation. These accusations were not established by a criminal conviction.

Whistleblowers, secrecy and alleged retaliation
- Reported to the FBI by his own senior officials (2020). Seven senior aides reported concerns about possible corruption involving Paxton and Nate Paul.

- Fired or lost multiple whistleblowers. Several officials who raised concerns were fired, resigned or were placed on leave. They alleged unlawful retaliation.

- Agreed to a $3.3 million whistleblower settlement in 2023. Paxton's office negotiated a settlement with four former employees. His request for legislative funding to cover it helped trigger the impeachment investigation. The proposed settlement was not proof of wrongdoing.

- Accused of using a burner phone and secret email accounts. Impeachment investigators alleged he used these methods to conceal communications and meetings with Paul.

- Accused of using a fake name for Uber trips. Investigators alleged an alias was used to conceal trips involving Paul and visits to a woman with whom Paxton was having an affair.

- Accused of avoiding his security detail to conceal activities. House impeachment managers alleged he evaded normal protective arrangements to keep certain meetings and movements secret.

Personal scandals and questionable associations

- Admitted having an extramarital affair. His relationship with a former Senate staffer became a significant issue during impeachment proceedings.

- Accused of benefiting from his donor employing his mistress. Investigators alleged Nate Paul hired the woman with whom Paxton was having an affair, potentially creating a personal benefit linked to official favors.

- His wife filed for divorce citing adultery (2025). State Sen. Angela Paxton filed for divorce after more than 30 years of marriage. The proceedings were subsequently sealed.

- Celebrated New Year's 2025 in Dubai with indicted businessmen. Video showed Paxton at a party with Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, who were facing federal fraud charges and were outside the United States. Both have pleaded not guilty.

- Accepted approximately $190,000 from a businessman later indicted for fraud. Ahmed contributed that amount to Paxton's political operation, reportedly including $25,000 after his indictment. Accepting a lawful political contribution is not itself proof of misconduct.

- Received a major contribution from a businessman linked to Chinese investment. An October 20, 2026 report identified a $150,000 contribution from Wan Bridge cofounder Ting Qiao, despite Paxton's campaign rhetoric about Chinese influence. The donor connection does not establish an illegal contribution.

Election-related controversies
- Attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Paxton filed a Supreme Court lawsuit seeking to invalidate presidential election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—four states Biden won.

- Promoted unsubstantiated election-fraud allegations. His 2020 lawsuit relied on claims that did not withstand scrutiny. The Supreme Court dismissed the case for lack of standing.

- Faced a State Bar investigation over his election lawsuit. Texas legal disciplinary authorities scrutinized his efforts to overturn the election. The investigation itself is not a finding of professional misconduct.

Just a reminder that republicans sent these out to try and anger voters. That’s how desperate they are right now.

I understand that a lot of $PUMP whales have started making enquiries about $BATON. Many aren’t even memecoin people; they found out about $BATON because it keeps appearing when they search the $PUMP ticker. It’s led them to discover there’s a memecoin pair attached to one of their biggest positions. Things could get pretty interesting soon.

Helping Israel is called aid but helping Americans is called socialism.

[Anna (social trading arc) @basilda_a]

think until baton runs hard, most other pump pairs will be hot potatoes, especially the newer ones.

jeet & go is the strategy, and that’s how i intend to play them on my pumpfun account, since i’m still trading there from time to time.

once baton runs tho, i believe other strong pump pair communities will run with it, especially the ones grinding through boring price action without giving up.

and baton pairs too.

the key is knowing what to trade and what to hold.

First they said Talarico was gay, then we all saw his smoke show girlfriend.

Then they said he was a vegan, but every other photo is of him eating ribs or a giant turkey leg.

I think they might be full of shit and just really bad at this.

WE. ARE. TOTALLY. FREAKING. OCCUPIED.

You CANNOT convince me otherwise.

$BATON finally got rid of weak hands that stifled its growth over the past few weeks. With $PUMP recovering the hardest from yesterdays low and distribution now way bette, I think the skies are clear towards $50m+
