The actions in the $PEPE deployer wallet, including the suspicious transaction, are not associated with the current $PEPE team, as clarified in an official statement.
The transactions are linked to former team members who had previously stolen tokens from the $PEPE treasury, aligning with a 2023 incident where 16 trillion tokens (worth $15 million) were siphoned off.
The anonymous founder of $PEPE blamed three ex-team members for the 2023 theft. These individuals reportedly removed themselves from the wallet and deleted their social media accounts afterward.
The community is urged to remain vigilant, and it is crucial to dissociate the current $PEPE team from these unauthorized actions.
