• Decentralized token creation platform Pump.fun has come under scrutiny after a report emerged late Sunday concerning a user who threatened self-harm during a livestream if their token failed to reach certain price targets.
• According to an initial disclosure posted by Beau, safety product manager at Pudgy Penguins, a Pump.fun user threatened to "hang themselves" if the coin doesn't reach a set market cap.
• "I hope it's a troll, but regardless of if it is fake or real it has the potential to inspire people to commit more self-harm or harm towards others. The real danger is that it could spiral further,"
• Another Twitter user, replying to Beau's thread, pointed out a separate incident where a Pump.fun token creator threatened to shoot their pet dog if the meme coin doesn't reach $11 million in market cap.
• Reports of other forms of self-harm on Pump.fun have also surfaced in a tweet responding to a question from Jordan Fish (better known as Cobie), the creator of echo.xyz.
