“Crypto isn’t a joke. One meme wallet, one careless moment — $2.6M gone. Always verify before trusting any address. The blockchain doesn't forgive, and there’s no undo button.”

🧵BREAKING: Influencer Loses $2.6M After Copy-Pasting Wallet from a ChatGPT Meme 🚨
July 15, 2025 — CryptoLand
Today in “do your own research” gone horribly wrong…
An NFT influencer known as @JPEGJesus has reportedly lost $2.6 million worth of tokens — all because he copied a wallet address from a meme.
Yes, you read that right. Let’s break down this epic disaster:
🔹 The Setup
Our hero tweets:
“Just minted my next 100x. Gonna airdrop $PEACH to all real ones. Drop your ETH addy 👇”
Community floods the replies with wallet addresses. Then…
He sees a meme of a dancing Wojak with a QR code wallet address.
He thinks:
“Funny. Ironic. Let’s use it.”
Big mistake.
🔹 The Mistake
He pastes the meme wallet into his airdrop smart contract.
Executes the drop.
$2.6 million in $PEACH — sent to one wallet.
That wallet?
Belongs to a bot farm in Kazakhstan.
Gone. Instantly.
🔹 The Fallout
🧻 Telegram group renamed to: “$PEACH Paper Hands”
🤡 Community voted to rebrand $PEACH to $PLUM
🥀 $PLUM rugged within 48 hours
🧘 Influencer live-streams a meditation on Twitch, captioned:
“It’s not real until you sell anyway.”
💬 Final Words
Crypto is wild. But even in meme land:
Check. Every. Address.
This wasn’t ChatGPT’s fault. It was meme brain + blind trust.
Let it be a lesson.
