Pump.fun Attacker Seeks to Withdraw Guilty Plea as Lawyers Quit Case
Jarett Dunn, the attacker of the Solana meme coin launcher Pump.fun, is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea just two months after it was entered. Dunn, who was a disgruntled employee, attacked the platform with the intent of addressing perceived harms it had caused. Despite initially being lauded as a 'Robin Hood' figure for his actions, Dunn faced a sentencing that could have resulted in over seven years in prison. At a recent court hearing, he requested to change his guilty plea, surprising the judge and leading his legal team to withdraw from his case due to their disagreement with this decision. Dunn now has two weeks to secure new representation as he prepares for a possible trial where witnesses, including Pump.fun founders, may be called. While he has confessed to the crime multiple times, Dunn believes there are undisclosed details that could aid his case. His tumultuous journey and openness about his struggles with mental health have garnered him a following, as he vows to continue fighting for his freedom.
