Description

A 13-year-old, known as the "Gen Z Quant kid," created a token called QUANT and executed a rug-pull, making $30,000. In retaliation, "crypto community" pumped the token's value, causing it to skyrocket, making him miss out on potentially ~$4M and then doxxing the kid. Things got even worse when allegedly the kid's dog, Bari, was kidnapped and the perpetrators then launched a new token named $BARI using the dog's image.
