Kimchi $TRUMP Profit Story Was Fabricated
On-chain analysis by Bubblemaps shows Kimchi did not make $40M on $TRUMP — the viral narrative was a constructed fiction, while he was separately paid ~$10M just to sign up for pumpapp.
What we know
Bubblemaps traced Kimchi's wallets and found his actual $TRUMP profits were far below the $40M figure that went viral an account on X. another account on X called the story 'the exact same playbook as the Banks restaurant story' — a completely fabricated viral loop where people created thousands of clips around a fake narrative another account on X. another account on X noted Kimchi didn't even larp himself — others larped for him and he collected the money another account on X. The context is that Kimchi was apparently paid nearly $10M to sign up for pumpapp, making his actual on-chain profits almost irrelevant to the economics another account on X. Pumpfun's 'Be the next Kimchi' marketing is being widely mocked in the wake of this another account on X.
