 <li><strong>Pepe’s multisig wallet hacked; 16T tokens ($15M) sold.</strong></li> 
 <li><strong>Discord within team, leaving lone member in charge.</strong></li> 
</ul> 
<p>In an unexpected turn of events on August 24th, 2023, the infamous memecoin Pepe community was rattled by a series of transactions involving the project’s multisig wallet. Approximately 16 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at around 15 million USD. They were transferred from the wallet to multiple crypto exchanges, including OKX, Binance, Kucoin, and Bybit. The shocking move significantly reduced the required signer count to 2 out of 8 wallets. It left the multisig with 10 trillion tokens and a solitary signer.</p> 
<p>In a bid to provide clarity to the community, an anonymous founding member came forward to share their perspective on the situation. According to their account, the project had been plagued by internal strife from its inception, characterized by clashes among team members driven by greed.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, the project’s multisig wallet, crafted to mandate approval from 3 out of 4 signers for transactions, took center stage in the controversy. The founding member asserted that the three ex-team members, previously disconnected from the project, abruptly resurfaced. Allegedly, they illicitly accessed the multisig, absconding with 16 trillion tokens—equivalent to 60% of the total—before proceeding to offload them on exchanges.</p>
