According to a previous report by Zombit, a rumor spread this week that the meme coin DJT, allegedly issued by Donald Trump himself, has gained popularity. Overseas communities are discussing whether this token is truly related to Trump. The online intelligence company Arkham even offered a reward of $150,000 to the first person who can provide evidence of the identity of the creator of DJT token. Renowned online detective ZachXBT quickly submitted evidence to Arkham, indicating that he had known the true identity of the DJT token creator for a while.
While the community was curious about whether the DJT token creator was indeed Trump, Martin Shkreli, known as the “Pharma Bro” in the United States, suddenly admitted on social media that he was the creator of the DJT token. However, ZachXBT revealed that before publicly admitting his identity, Martin Shkreli had privately contacted him after submitting evidence to Arkham, asking him not to disclose the information.
It is speculated that Martin Shkreli proactively confessed his identity in order to preemptively shift the narrative from being “passively exposed” to “actively admitting” before the truth was revealed, thus possibly altering the terms of his bet with the community (Martin Shkreli bet with the community that DJT was issued by Trump).
In response to Martin Shkreli’s attempt to portray the token as being issued by Trump himself, many netizens on social media platforms joked about it.
