- Token launch took under 10 minutes with no KYC verification, age checks, or terms and conditions.
- Pump Fun faces accusations of facilitating pump-and-dump schemes worth $500 million through unregistered securities.
- DOGSHIT2 token experienced a 16,956% price surge followed by a 98% crash within 24 hours.
- This represents the third lawsuit against Pump Fun by Burwick Law, following cases involving Hailey Welch and PNUT tokens.
A law firm’s attempt to expose security violations in cryptocurrency trading has ironically sparked trading frenzy among crypto enthusiasts. Burwick Law, pursuing legal action against memecoin platform Pump Fun, created its own demonstration token “DOGSHIT2” to highlight the platform’s alleged regulatory shortcomings.
The firm’s strategic token launch on October 31 revealed concerning vulnerabilities in Pump Fun’s system. According to the lawsuit documentation, the process bypassed essential security protocols, including know-your-customer (KYC) verification, age restrictions, and basic terms of service agreements.
The demonstration token, despite carrying an explicit warning label “Don’t buy this coin,” experienced dramatic market volatility. Trading data shows a meteoric rise of 16,956% from $0.0001344 to $0.0229230, followed by a devastating 98% decline, exemplifying the very behavior the lawsuit aims to address.
Crypto influencer @EasyEatsBodega challenged the firm’s methods, suggesting potential hypocrisy in their approach. The law firm responded firmly, stating: “Baseless comments aimed at undermining the legal system or disparaging the profession are both inappropriate and potentially defamatory.”
The case highlights broader concerns about cryptocurrency market regulation. Burwick Law alleges that Pump Fun’s operational model has created an environment conducive to illicit activities, including terrorist financing and drug trafficking, due to its lack of compliance measures.
The firm maintains its position, declaring that criticism from cryptocurrency key opinion leaders serves as “the best endorsement we could ask for.” This case joins two previous lawsuits filed by Burwick Law against Pump Fun, establishing a pattern of legal challenges against the platform’s practices.
