Based on what we've heard, we now predict that over 80% of your favorite memecoin trading influencers are operating side wallets with 10-100x larger balances, preying on their audience.
Full on pump and dump clinics "behind the scenes" being ran by a set of fraudster anon "KOLs" running this scheme on pump fun with celebs and other major names.
This has reached such a massive scale, it will have severe consequences for those involved.
We're talking tens to hundreds of millions of dollars being extracted by a small group of onchain snipers and bundlers.

Hi because you get rinsed by the same KOL grifters who have done it for years and never learn.
I tried calling out Ansem numerous times in the past for promoting micro cap and celeb tokens but gamblers brought him credibility and exit liquidity yet again this cycle.
So why should I care at all?
I am busy with recent incidents like the French bank heist, DPRK, or The Com where my work actually brings measurable impact rather than engagement from calling out known bad actors and saying the obvious.
One of crypto's largest KOLs has been secretly extracting millions from his audience
We’ll expose him soon
Unfortunately, he’s just a symptom of a much bigger problem
Social trading has brought out the worst in KOLs. It was designed to keep them honest by making every trade public. In reality, the opposite happened
In just a few weeks, we exposed a number of "top social traders" using the same tricks:
• Public wallets to attract copy traders
• Side wallets to dump
• Callouts to farm rewards
• Bundled tokens to hide supply
And there are plenty more doing the exact same thing
Why? Because our industry incentivizes it
1) Launchpads allow it
Most launchpads today are obsessed with one thing: volume. Millions in callout rewards, affiliate links, and top leaderboards. Almost nothing on detecting bundles, side wallets, or shady traders. Scams drive volume. Launchpads have no reason to stop it (other than actually caring about their users)
2) Social trading incentivizes it
Side wallets have become a business model. Before social trading, only big KOLs could do it. Now, anyone who lands on a leaderboard can monetize by dumping on their copy-traders. The temptation is real
3) CT normalizes bundle culture
“Everyone bundles. It's how it's done" - an excuse we hear every time we expose a KOL. Supply control isn't the problem. Hiding it is. If it's so bullish, why hide it? Spoiler: because you're planning to sell
***
Launchpads are paying millions to dishonest KOLs. It's time they start taking it seriously
Audit the top traders. Expose their side wallets. Ban repeat offenders
We have the tools. What's missing is the willingness to use them
No one's coming to save us
