On-chain analyst Yazan reports insider selling of PEPE holdings, with around 400 billion PEPE sold, aligning with Pauly’s team exposure.
Former PEPE promoter turned crypto influencer, Jeremy “Pauly” Cahen, has leveled insider trading allegations against the Pepecoin team following the reported theft of around 16 trillion PEPE tokens. Pauly is now exposing team members’ identities, divulging their wallet activities. On-chain analysts also point to significant Pepe Coin transactions involving insiders.
In an August 26 update, Pauly disclosed that the Pepecoin team possesses approximately $16-17 million in PEPE tokens distributed across 9 distinct wallets. Surprisingly, these insiders refrained from selling from these holdings. Instead, they strategically offloaded PEPE from a centralized exchange (CEX) wallet, establishing a substantial short position.
“I’ll likely be working with multiple branches of law enforcement to ensure that @degenharambe & the rest of his partners on the @pepecoineth team get brought to justice as soon as possible. Their greed & crimes have caused undue harm to many.”
He has additionally revealed personal information about several individuals from the Pepecoin team and detailed their transaction activities. According to Pauly, the Pepecoin team is exploiting the community, and he asserts that their explanations regarding multi-sig wallets and PEPE holdings are entirely false.
