Pepe creator Matt Furie's account linked to 3 memecoins within a week, later claiming the account was hacked

Odaily Planet Daily News After 9 months of silence, the X account of renowned artist and Pepe creator Matt Furie became active again in early August, posting content and contract addresses related to HOODRAT, DORK, and BOYZ within a single week. Most of these posts were subsequently deleted. On August 9, the account posted a statement claiming it had been hacked, affirming that it does not endorse any altcoins, and stating that relevant warning text had previously existed on his official website. On-chain analyst @StandartXBT noted that after the HOODRAT-related post was published, the token's market cap surged rapidly before the price declined; following the DORK deployment, the deployer completed bundled purchases, drained liquidity, and sold off, obtaining significant ETH profits from the initial capital. @StandartXBT discovered through web archives that Matt Furie's official website had not previously contained such warning text, and no prior traces were found on the X platform either, casting doubt on the credibility of the statement.
