The trader created the QUANT token (Gen Z Quant) on Pump.fun during a livestream on Wednesday and executed a rug pull.
A teenage crypto trader’s attempt to profit from a meme coin rug pull went awry when the community rallied behind the token, pushing its market capitalization to $80 million.
During a livestream on Wednesday, the trader created the QUANT token (Gen Z Quant) on Pump.fun and executed a rug pull. He sold 51 million tokens for 128 SOL (around $30,000), netting a profit of roughly $29,600, as reported by blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain.

However, instead of collapsing, QUANT’s price surged dramatically. According to data from DEX Screener, the token’s value skyrocketed over 900% in the last six hours as members of the crypto community deliberately invested in the project.
At peak prices, the trader’s initial token sale would have been valued at over $4 million.
Following the QUANT rug pull, the teenage trader launched two additional tokens, LUCY and SORRY, and performed another rug pull, generating 103 SOL (approximately $24,000) in profits.
Afterward, members of the crypto community tracked down and exposed the teenager’s personal information, including his name, address, and school details, across various social media platforms.
