Well-known financial influencer "Roaring Kitty"’s X account appears to have been hacked, and behind it may be a carefully planned "pump and dump" scheme.

From May 11 to 12, 2026, the long-dormant Roaring Kitty account suddenly posted a Meme coin contract address called "Red Kitten Crew" (RKC). Because this behavior is severely inconsistent with his usual style of in-depth long-form analysis, the market immediately suspected the account had been compromised.

🧐 Fraud Tactics
On-chain data shows that the token's creator had already created 10 wallets before posting, spending about $1,950 to accumulate nearly 40% of the supply.
Subsequently, leveraging Roaring Kitty’s influence to trigger retail FOMO (fear of missing out), RKC’s market cap was rapidly pushed up to $12 million within 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, the project team quickly sold all tokens and used creator fee mechanisms to double their profits, totaling up to $611k, with a 313x return before fully exiting, causing the token price to collapse. An unfortunate trader who chased the high lost $188k within an hour.

This incident once again sounds the alarm: celebrity endorsements are no longer reliable, and hacked accounts can be used for token fraud. Any small-cap token that is rapidly pumped with just a single post is very likely a "honey pot" waiting for retail investors to take the bait, and chasing the high often involves huge risks. #RoaringKitty账号被盗
