The former pump.fun employee who was accused of exploiting the platform to steal $1.9 million says he has been arrested, charged, and is currently on bail in the <\/span>United Kingdom<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jarett Dunn claimed responsibility for the attack via a May 16 X <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> published through his account, “STACCoverflow.” This is after pump.fun accused Dunn of using his “privileged position” at the company to access a “withdraw authority” to compromise the <\/span>meme coin <\/span><\/a>creation and trading platform’s systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pump.Fun:<\/p>\n

Jarett Dunn Allowed To Use A “Super Restricted” Device To Post Online<\/span><\/h2>\n

“I spent overnight in custody,” said Dunn in a May 19 X post. The former pump.fun employee shared that his mental health has been “taken into question.” He also shared  that he is currently being kept in a hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn is still able to post on X, however, since the facility he is being kept in has given him a “super restricted” iPad that is signed in on his new X account, “free stacc.” Taking  full advantage of this opportunity to post online, he <\/span>accused<\/span><\/a> his former employers of “far more heinous” crimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

I am once again without any of my 2fa for a lil while. I spent overnight in custody as the pump team alleges I stole 2m of their Ill gotten gains with conspiracy to steal another 80m. <\/p>\n
