The hacked post accused <strong>DeFiTuna founders Vlad Pozniakov <\/strong>and <strong>Dhirk <\/strong>of exploiting tokens like <strong>MELANIA, LIBRA,<\/strong> and <strong>TRUMP<\/strong>.

Meanwhile, <strong>screenshots of WhatsApp chats surfaced, revealing discussions about \u201cmax extracting\u201d funds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Controversial Memecoin Post Sparks Chaos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hacked tweet reignited scrutiny around <strong>Solana<\/strong>-based tokens linked to high-profile figures. It specifically criticised Pozniakov and Dhirk for allegedly manipulating launches like <strong>MELANIA<\/strong> and<strong> MATES<\/strong>. Chow accused them of using Meteora\u2019s platform for personal gain, calling their actions<strong> \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/strong> The post also referenced a<strong> \u201choneypot recording\u201d <\/strong>involving the founders.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-2353669630\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Trade Brains  - In_content -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2055721573\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Meteora swiftly dismissed the claims, labelling the tweet fraudulent. The team recovered Chow\u2019s account hours later but faced mounting questions about security protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meteora Flags Fraudulent Post, Urges User Caution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the breach, Meteora\u2019s official X account warned followers to ignore the compromised message. <strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve regained control and are investigating,\u201d<\/strong> the team stated. <strong>Co-founder Zen, now CEO<\/strong>, confirmed both Chow\u2019s and Meteora\u2019s accounts were briefly hacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WhatsApp Chats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The deleted post included purported <strong>WhatsApp <\/strong>logs between <strong>Kelsier Ventures<\/strong> executives and<strong> Pozniakov<\/strong>. One message read, <strong>\u201cWe are trying to max extract on this one,\u201d<\/strong> referencing the MATES token. However, the chat&#8217;s authenticity remains unverified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Kelsier Ventures has not publicly addressed the allegations. Speculation about insider trading and token manipulation continues swirling across crypto forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meteora\u2019s Social Media Security Under Scrutiny<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dual breaches exposed vulnerabilities in Meteora\u2019s cybersecurity framework. <strong>Zen<\/strong> emphasised resetting account credentials post-attack but provided limited details. <strong>\u201cWe\u2019re verifying everything,\u201d<\/strong> he stated, signalling ongoing internal audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the incident highlights risks tied to memecoin projects, which often lack transparency. Critics argue rapid token launches enable bad actors to exploit retail investors effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turmoil Entangles Argentine Politics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fallout extended beyond Meteora, ensnaring <strong>Argentine President Javier Milei<\/strong>. Milei endorsed <strong>LIBRA<\/strong>, a Solana memecoin, causing its price to skyrocket from<strong> $0 to $5<\/strong>. The token briefly hit a<strong> $4 billion market cap<\/strong> before crashing, erasing millions in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opposition lawmakers now seek Milei\u2019s impeachment, accusing him of promoting a \u201c<strong>rug pull.\u201d<\/strong> Milei defended his stance, framing LIBRA\u2019s promotion as part of his pro-business agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Memecoin Red Flags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This story underscores growing concerns about memecoin volatility and regulatory gaps. While projects like LIBRA attract speculative hype, their ties to public figures amplify risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Meteora, rebuilding trust remains critical. As Zen navigates the fallout, the crypto community watches for updates and whether Chow\u2019s explosive allegations hold weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-3885012968\">Disclaimer: This content does not have journalistic\/editorial involvement of Trade Brains Team.
