Law Firm Fights Memecoins, Claims DOGSHIT2 is Not Theirs (Seriously)

by

What to know:

  • Burwick Law is demanding Pump.fun remove tokens impersonating it, including one called DOGSHIT2. Yes, DOGSHIT2. 🐕💩
  • Burwick Law recently proposed a class action lawsuit against Pump.fun, accusing it of widespread securities fraud. Because apparently, memecoins are serious business now. 🤓

In a twist that no one saw coming (except maybe everyone), two law firms involved in a class action suit against Pump.fun are now claiming to be victims of token impersonation. They’ve sent a cease and desist letter demanding the removal of these tokens, because nothing says “justice” like fighting over digital dog poop. 🚨

At the heart of this mess is a token called ‘DOGSHIT2,’ a Solana-based memecoin that’s up almost 200%. Because of course it is. 📈

For those not terminally online (congratulations, by the way), it might be baffling why a law firm would care about a token named after canine excrement. But apparently, references to the token being tied to one of the firm’s wallets were found in exhibits filed by Burwick against Pump.fun. Because nothing screams “credibility” like accidentally linking yourself to DOGSHIT2. 🐾

“Our firms have no affiliation, endorsement, or ownership interest in the Dogshit2 token or any related assets,” Burwick Law wrote on X. “Simply put, our firms have not launched any memecoins onchain.” Sure, Jan. 🙄

Burwick Law also claimed that Pump.fun launched tokens designed to “intimidate our clients and interfere with ongoing litigation.” Because nothing intimidates like a memecoin named after poop. 💩

“These efforts include the creation of memecoins that impersonate our plaintiffs. These acts represent the use of blockchain technologies as a tool for disrupting justice and due process,” Burwick Law wrote. Or, you know, just a bunch of internet trolls having a laugh. 🤷‍♂️

Burwick Law previously represented investors in a lawsuit against the creators of Hawk Tuah ($HAWK), alleging they exploited Hailey Welch’s internet fame to promote an unregistered security. Because apparently, the internet is just one big legal minefield. 🌐⚖️
