TechFlow news, on December 18, according to Decrypt, Canadian national Jarett Dunn was sentenced to six years in prison by a London judge on charges of fraud and transferring criminal property.
Dunn formerly served as a senior developer at Pump.fun and in May 2024 stole Solana tokens worth approximately $2 million from his employer, distributing the funds across thousands of random addresses. Notably, Dunn did not keep the funds for himself but dispersed them publicly, later admitting his actions on social media, which earned him the nickname "the Robin Hood of cryptocurrency" among supporters.
At the time of the attack, Dunn had only been working at Pump.fun for six weeks. The platform's total revenue was just $43.9 million at that time and has since grown to $927.2 million. Dunn attempted to frame the attack as whistleblowing, claiming that Pump.fun was a malicious website, but the judge rejected this argument.
