ME News, December 18 (UTC+8), Canadian citizen Jarett Dunn has been sentenced to six years in prison by a London judge for a $2 million Solana fraud case. He had previously admitted to abuse of power and fraud, as well as the transfer of criminal property. The court stated that this former Pump.fun employee had been monitored with an electronic tag for 308 days, of which 154 days would count towards his sentence. He was also held in custody for about five months, which typically counts automatically towards the sentence. This ruling comes more than a year after Dunn stole approximately $2 million worth of Solana (SOL) from Pump.fun, where he was employed at the time (a now very popular meme coin platform). Dunn did not keep the money for himself but distributed the funds to thousands of random addresses. He then immediately confessed to this crime on social media. As a result, this Canadian gained a fervent following, with fans dubbing him the “Crypto Robin Hood.” Dunn's path to sentencing has not been smooth, with multiple settings, delays, and recesses. This includes Dunn attempting to characterize the attack as whistleblowing, claiming that Pump.fun was a malicious site and that he was trying to warn people about it. However, as the ruling was handed down, the judge did not seem to agree with this argument. Pump.fun is a platform that allows anyone to create a cryptocurrency token in seconds after filling out a short form. Prior to the incident, Dunn had served as a senior developer at Pump.fun for six weeks, during which the platform, while popular, was still in its early stages. According to Dune data, Pump.fun's cumulative revenue at that time was $43.9 million, a figure that has since skyrocketed to $927.2 million. Dunn's friend Mark Kelly attended the trial, calling the ruling “frustrating.” Kelly informed Decrypt that the prosecutor dismissed the whistleblower claim, calling it “an excuse after arrest.” He added that, while he thought Dunn's lawyer was “terrible,” Dunn ultimately allowed the prosecution to “get away with it easily” because of his confession on social media. “Everyone calm down, this is a robbery... I am about to change the course of history. Then go rot in prison,” Dunn wrote on X platform minutes after the attack occurred. “Am I rational? No. Am I okay? Very not okay.” He then joined an X Spaces, stating that he wanted to “kill” Pump.fun, “because it’s something to do.” He further claimed, “It inadvertently hurt people for a long time.” Kelly added that the judge “fully considered” this when making the ruling. Four days after the attack, Dunn was arrested in a hotel in London, not far from the WeWork where Pump.fun operated, where Dunn was located during the attack. Dunn was immediately deemed unfit to be questioned by the police and spent two weeks in the hospital to improve his mental health. (Source: ME)
