Did Gainzy Rug His Own Coin? The Controversial Saga Shaking CT Currently

The world of crypto is never short on surprises, and the latest episode involves Gainzy, a well-known influencer on X, and a coin that unraveled into one of the more peculiar pump-and-dump stories of the year.

What started as a misclick quickly escalated into a trading frenzy, leaving some wallets with notable profits and the broader community questioning what really happened.

From misclick to thousands in profit

On September 3, 2025, Gainzy (@gainzy222) accidentally sold his own token, triggering an immediate price crash. Within seconds, two wallets reportely spotted the opportunity.

Each invested 20 SOL, about $4,150 at the time, and their timing couldn’t have been sharper.

The first wallet wasted no time, unloading its position within 10 minutes and walking away with roughly 200 SOL, or $423,100. The second wallet chose patience, stretching its trades over 50 minutes.

By the end, it had secured 535 SOL, worth around $112,000. Two trades, two approaches, and a combined profit of over half a million dollars, all from an unplanned sell-off.

Debate, doubt, and damage control

As word spread, Crypto Twitter lit up with debates. Was this really just an honest mistake, or something more deliberate? Influencer @CryptoBitlord didn’t mince words, calling Gainzy a “scammer” and suggesting the move was anything but accidental.

Another user, @Cometcalls, speculated it might have been a calculated stunt to regain attention after another project, Kook, had just rugged.

Gainzy, however, maintained that it was nothing more than a slip. On a livestream, he credited the Pump.fun team for stepping in quickly: “They immediately figure out whatever crisis management there is out of this, which frankly isn’t that much to $4 million.”

The influencer seems to now be making efforts to fix this misclick, initiating buy backs,
