A statement for 9999fun: We are here, recovering everything.
A full day has passed since the incident, and as someone who has been trenching alongside you in this space for years, I fully understand your anger, anxiety, and concerns. The financial and emotional losses from the past 24 hours are undeniable. When the chaos began, and I saw my friends and community members frantically asking what was happening in the group chats, I couldn't answer immediately. The truth is, the moment the sell button failed, our team panicked too.
We want to state this with absolute clarity: the inability to sell tokens was entirely due to a critical back-end technical error. There was zero intentional action by the team to block selling or restrict liquidity.
In this space, we experience both wins and losses. But being at the bottom simply means things can only get better from here. This is not the end.
If you have known me for any length of time, you know my character. I am not leaving this space. I am not the type of person to compromise my integrity over a $2M ATH token and retire. In the past, we have built projects together that went significantly further than that. Money can always be remade, but there are certain things that, once lost, are gone forever.
What I refuse to lose right now is the community, the people who have stuck by me through the bears and bulls.
I know that gaining your trust back under these conditions will be a mountain to climb. But whether it happens now or later, we are committed to working through this and slowly recovering everything we lost. If you check the onchain txs and review the wallets that dumped the token, you will see the reality: they were almost entirely sniper bots and early buyers taking profit, not the team.
We are analyzing this situation with the utmost seriousness. I know the community is demanding immediate answers and a carefully curated next step. However, a bulletproof, sustainable roadmap cannot be thrown together in a few hours. If a solution is presented instantly in a crisis like this, it is usually just a script meant to placate people, not a real fix.
Building a real, resilient platform is not cheap. It requires massive capital, relentless effort, and strong, strategic allies.
To ensure our next steps are flawless, our team is currently mobilizing our entire network. We are gathering highly experienced partners and leveraging every connection we have built in this industry to help us stabilize, secure, and rectify the situation. We are not doing this alone, and we are putting real weight behind our recovery plan.
I want to sincerely apologize for the broken expectations, the financial losses, and the strain this has placed on the trust you envisioned for us. This moment marks the very beginning of our grind to work things out and rebuild an enjoyable, secure playground for all of you.
I hope my friends and community will help spread this message. We want everyone to know that we are still standing.
