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.

    You’re just being obtuse. It does no good to argue about some obscure definition of the term, when that’s not how it’s being used.

    Company scrip can also be issued by a central authority.

    I think crypto is stupid, but so is your made up argument over terminology.
