Trader Loses $93K in 1 Hour on Fake Death Rumor
Trader lost $93K in an hour trading $LLJEFFY
Panic selling followed fake news of Jeffy Yu’s death
$LLJEFFY price crashed shortly after his purchase
A Costly Trade Fueled by Hype
In a shocking display of how volatile and risky meme coin trading can be, one crypto trader lost a jaw-dropping $93,000 in just one hour. After a week of inactivity, the trader jumped back into the market with a 1,046 SOL ($149.2K) investment to buy $LLJEFFY, a meme token inspired by internet personality Jeffy Yu. Unfortunately, his timing couldn’t have been worse.
Fake News Triggers Panic
Just two hours after the large buy-in, rumors spread online claiming Jeffy Yu had died. Though completely false, the news was enough to send the $LLJEFFY token into freefall as fear gripped holders. The trader, clearly spooked by the rapid price drop, chose to panic sell all his tokens.
The result? He received just 394 SOL ($56.2K) in return — a staggering $93,000 loss.
This incident highlights the fragile nature of meme coins, where prices can swing dramatically based on social sentiment, rumors, or misinformation. It also underscores the risk of investing large sums in low-liquidity or hype-driven tokens without proper due diligence.
Brutal luck — this trader lost $93K in just 1 hour.
After a week of no activity, he spent 1,046 $SOL($149.2K) to buy $LLJEFFY 2 hours ago.
Then came the news of Jeffy Yu's fake death — $LLJEFFY tanked.

Lessons from a $93K Mistake
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder for traders to:
Avoid chasing hype without verifying facts.
Be cautious with large trades in illiquid meme coins.
Understand that panic selling often leads to amplified losses.
In the fast-paced world of crypto, a single rumor can erase tens of thousands in minutes — as this trader painfully learned.
