A 13-year-old boy was doxxed by crypto traders after pulling the rug on a Pump.fun token he called Gen Z Quant. Investors doxxed his entire family and converted them into Pump.fun tokens.

A 13-year-old boy was caught in the middle of one of the most random rug-pullings the crypto community has ever witnessed. On November 20, the unnamed boy launched a token on Pump.fun with the code QUANT and watched the price rise by 260% just minutes after launch.

Less than an hour later, the kid dumps all of his QUANT tokens, effectively pulling the rug out from under the traders who had purchased the token minutes before. The boy made a profit of $30,000 by inflating the price and selling all his coins.

As if that wasn’t enough, he took to the internet and shook his middle finger at traders burned by QUANT’s strife. He then continued to do the same thing by launching another token with the same name, which he then disposed of for a profit of another $12,000.

More experienced traders soon took over and increased the token’s market cap to $70 million. The Gen Z Quant token, which he launched as an elaborate troll, is currently trading at $0.05571, according to DEX Screener. It rose to almost 50% in the last six hours but gradually declined by 13% in the last hour.

Even though the kid managed to turn his initial $30,000 token into a $2.4 million token, the crypto community wasn’t about to let his misdeed slide.

Traders began doxxing the boy’s family and locating his school, stalking his social media accounts, and complaining about the funds they lost due to the boy pulling the rug. Soon, developers began releasing new Pump.fun tokens, named after the child’s family members and with profile pictures to accompany them.

Pump.fun tokens featuring QUANT DAD, QUANT SIS, and QUANT MOM stock, as well as tokens accompanied by a picture of the boy’s entire family and pet dog, and CABAL stock, are already circulating on the markets.

“The child endangered his own lineage,” one user said.

“Then the community increased it to $135 million. It could have been 1.2 million. They then scratched out his name, address and school. The community has no roots,” said a user on X.

One trader called the kid “the future of finance,” while another reminded the community that this kid represents a terrible generation “optimized to do this to people.”
