A 13-year-old known as the "Gen Z Quant kid," created a token called QUANT and executed a rug pull, making $30,000. In retaliation, various people in the cryptocurrency world executed a "revenge pump" — pumping up the price of the token after the kid cashed out, causing him to miss out on potential gains. Worse, they then found the child's identity, and published his address and the school he attended. They also identified his mother, and began leaving hateful comments on her Instagram account. Rumors also emerged that a member of the cryptocurrency community dognapped the child's dog, then launched a memecoin based on the animal.
