Pump.fun Attacker Seeks to Withdraw Guilty Plea as Lawyers Quit Case
Jarett Dunn, the attacker behind the Solana meme coin platform Pump.fun, is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea made two months ago, after his legal team resigned from representing him. Dunn had previously pleaded guilty to fraud and transfer of criminal property, stemming from an attack where he drained approximately $2 million from the platform and redistributed the funds to random wallets. He is now pursuing a change in plea, citing new information he believes could strengthen his defense. While his former lawyers advised against this course of action, Dunn expressed determination to fight in court. His case is set to undergo further proceedings, with a potential trial that could involve significant witness testimony from the Pump.fun founders. If his request is granted, the case may shift dramatically as Dunn prepares for trial, despite already admitting to the crime publicly.
