Earlier this month, tokens with the PNUT ticker gained spotlight, after it was revealed that the New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation seized and euthanized a squirrel. Alongside, a raccoon named Fred was subject to the same treatment.
Why should you pay attention?
- Mark Longo, the owner of the pets, has now launched his own crypto asset
- He asserted that this is the only token that he will be affiliated with “forever”
- Launched on Solana, the token is called Justice for Pnut and Fred [JUSTICE]
- The token will honor the memory of his pets
Details
- When the news first broke, a bunch of squirrel-themed crypto assets managed to amass thousands of dollars in liquidity
- They also went on to secure market caps worth millions of dollars
- Longo has now accused the crypto community of profiting from his personal trauma
- Meanwhile, JUSTICE has amassed over $42 million in market cap already
- It has over 16,122 holders
Who said what?
- In a video posted on X [formerly Twitter], Longo emphasized,
"The government's not going to get away with this. Justice will be served, for not only Fred and Pnut... We will show the world that it's not okay to overstep boundaries”
- While talking about the flip side of the coin, he said,
"The crypto world has taken my tragedy and has profited every which way possible. The fact that people wanna make money off this is nothing short of despicable"
Zooming out
- People from the community, however, remain skeptical
- They tossed several questions towards him, underlining the double standards
