Bubblemaps, an onchain analytics platform, published an investigation on October 9, 2026, accusing crypto influencer @0xEthan, active on pump.fun, of generating approximately $125,000 in profits from 49 token callouts. The firm identified a repeatable pattern: wallets linked to the influencer bought tokens just before publicly promoting them, then started selling about three minutes after the post went live, even while followers were still being encouraged to buy. Of the total, roughly $45,000 came from trading profits and $80,000 from callout rewards. The investigation, triggered by a tip from user @bandosei, reveals this pattern affected a following of approximately 88,000 people, meaning those buying on the callout consistently arrived after the profitable window had already closed.
