Meet the cryptocurrency promoter who claims to have launched Caitlyn Jenner’s Solana meme coin
Olympic gold medal winner Caitlyn Jenner appears to have launched a Pump.fun token, which has sent Crypto Twitter into meltdown. This is driven Decipher down the rabbit hole to find the person who claims to have distributed the JENNER token on Pump.fun.
“We love cryptocurrencies!” Jenner posted on Twitter followed by a Pump.fun connection and a photo with Donald Trump. The JENNER token quickly arrived Raydium decentralized exchange-a key objective for Pump.fun token, and is currently up 24,838% since its creation.
“I connect with pretty much every celebrity,” Sahil Arora said Decipherclaiming to have distributed the JENNER token.
But questions were raised on social media to find out if he is helping or hurting the projects he claims to be involved in. Pseudonymous Crypto Twitter investigators say they have found a wallet with funds they say are from alleged pump and dumps, which sold $16,000 worth of JENNER shortly after launch.
This launch looked a lot like many others hacks of past celebrities. Many important figures, such as the former president of the United States Barack Obamaco-founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin, and even Twitter owner Elon Musk, have had their accounts compromised. This is usually an exploiter who uses the account to share a suspicious link to a meme coin or wallet address and asks followers to fork over their money.
So Crypto Twitter was understandably wary of the JENNER token.
Caitlyn Jenner’s Twitter account waged a campaign to prove that her account had not been hacked. as many believed. First, his manager Sophia Hutchins posted a video on Twitter while the former decathlon athlete said he was out playing golf. This happened after Jenner posted a video which many believed was a deepfake. But a second video fell which seemed to silence most doubters.
This symbolic debut occurred on the same day as the popular one GCR cryptocurrency trader was hacked, with the attacker shilling two projects Before dumping. And American rapper The rich boy posted a Pump.fun link on Twitter before deleting the post on social media.
Twitter users immediately made connections between Rich the Kid’s token and Caitlyn Jenner’s token with one wallet found that you bought and sold a significant amount of each token. One Twitter user believes the wallet made a profit of 98 SOL ($16,000) by selling Jenner tokens.
Rich The Kid then took to Twitter to point the finger at Sahil Arora.
“This is the one responsible for these scams,” the New York rapper said in a now-deleted Twitter post. This is the same man whose Instagram story Jenner posted under her original Pump.fun Twitter post, in an attempt to convince followers that the launch wasn’t a hack. “7 million dollars in volume in one hour. Teamwork”, the Instagram story said.
Arora claimed to do so Decipher via Instagram DM which distributed the JENNER token. He sent a screenshot of a contract allegedly signed by him and Caitlyn Jenner, but Decipher has not yet received a comment or confirmation from Jenner’s team.
Arora said Decipher through Direct messages on Instagram who is in touch with multiple celebrities. “Sometimes I go to them, most of the time they come and I choose,” Arora said. “It’s the only way to make crypto more mainstream and benefit from the attention economy, it’s the meta they didn’t know they needed.”
He claims to have been involved in projects for other celebrities, including actress Lindsay Lohan and recording artists Soulja Boy, Tyga, NeYo and Liam Payne. But he did not share any concrete verification. When asked why he does this, he cited power, money and authority as motivations.
Arora also said he helped launch the Rich the Kid token, RICH, but has since cut ties with the project. “I dumped him and got into a fight,” he said Decipher. Rich the Kid did not immediately respond Decipherrequest for comment.
Twitter user Red believes Arora is the common denominator among five apparent celebrity-related mats in the past week. They all tie back to the same portfolio that made a $16,000 profit on JENNER and was also presumably published from Caitlyn Jenner’s official Twitter account asking for meme coin donations.
Arora has a newly created Telegram group, where he shares plans to launch tokens with porn stars, artists and actors. The group had promoted to token for Ivana Knöll, former Miss Croatia, but the social media post promoting the token has been deleted. This project is among the alleged pump and dumps. The model did not immediately respond Decipher them request for comment.
In response to claims made by Roxo regarding the Solana wallet belonging to him, Arora simply said that they are “stupid idiots”.
Jenner’s Twitter account has been more active than usual, promoting the project multiple times an hour. She says her camp and Jenner’s camp are teaming up to engage with the crypto community. The account has retweeted Pump.funresponded to Capital of autismAND criticism reiterated of the Rich the Kid token.
“The next one will be crazy HUGE and make JENNER look small,” Arora posted in his Telegram. “Stay tuned for announcements.”
