A parody X account proclaiming to be a former trader has donated memecoins inspired by him to charity after the tokens he was gifted ballooned to a peak of nearly $1 million in value.
The account, which goes by Richard E. Ptardio, said it received 700 million Richard Ptardio (PTARDIO) tokens on Dec. 17, which were created through the Solana token creator Pump.fun, with a screenshot showing the holdings were worth $53,250 at the time.
Hours later, Ptardio shared another screenshot showing his PTARDIO holdings had gained 1,765% to be worth nearly $1 million.
