ZachXBT finds Ultimate Grifter (Patreon)

Renowned onchain sleuth ZachXBT scored our highest-ever Intel Exchange bounty, earning >$150K for providing definitive evidence that Martin Shkreli is the creator of the DJT token. DJT on Solana has been the subject of extensive speculation, as rumours began circulating on X that Donald Trump was behind the launch of this memecoin.

These were compounded by traders placing bets on DJT not being an official Trump project, with GCR proposing a $100M bet against Shkreli suggesting Trump's involvement. We launched a bounty to clarify the situation - with ZachXBT being the first to solve it.

Martin Shkreli gained notoriety for significantly raising the price of Daraprim, a lifesaving drug used to treat toxoplasmosis in HIV/AIDS patients, from $13.50 to $750 per pill. This action was widely criticized as exploitative and harmful to vulnerable patients who rely on the medication.
