Summary
A teenage boy created and released three memecoins, earning over $50,000 by selling his holdings before the price crashed (“soft rug pull”).
The backlash was swift, with the boy and his family doxed and facing threats from angry traders.
While the legality of such actions is unclear, the incident highlights the risks and ethical dilemmas in the unregulated memecoin market.
Are you saying that financial institutions own most of all crypto in existence or do you mean Bitcoin specifically?

It’s not like it will be on their official books.
Yeah, that may very well be the case and it’s hard to verify or falsify it.
