A new Solana-based token, Hostage Dev, claims to have taken its own developer hostage and is threatening to kill him unless the token’s market cap reaches $1 million.
Solana token ‘Hostage Dev’ is being promoted on the X platform (formerly Twitter) using a short video purporting to show a hostage that the team has kidnapped.
The ‘hostage’ can be seen bound and bagged in a nondescript room holding a cardboard placard that reads, “Please, let’s go to 1milly mcap or else I’m dead.”&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

Other tweets from the Hostage Dev X account read “Guess who’s not going to sleep today? #HOSTAGE,” and “Dev completely knocked out on the stream? We don’t care.”
The look of the Hostage Dev <a href="https://www.devhostage.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a> is based on so-called ‘Wojack’ memes and traditional ‘cut-out’ ransom notes, and reads:

“We have your developer! If you want us to free him you need to pump chart to 1,000,000 marketcap.”
The Hostage Dev token currently has a 24-hour volume of $213K and a market cap of $7.58K. This means it’s $992,420 away from the kidnappers’ target of $1 million.
The site features a bagged man in a puddle of urine, a man wearing a balaclava, computers with Solana imagery, and a rising price chart.&nbsp;
The team isn’t exactly sure of the legality of the stunt, as it confessed on X, “Hope I don’t get swatted for this hahaha.” This was immediately followed by “Dev still hanging in, begging <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;">.”
In the United States, hostage-taking <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-11-hostage-taking-18-usc-1203#:~:text=Hostage%20taking%20is%20defined%20as,organization%20to%20take%20some%20action." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">is</a> the “seizing or detention of an individual coupled with a threat to kill, injure or continue to detain… to compel a third person or governmental organization to take some action.”&nbsp;
Possible sentences include life imprisonment, and if the hostage is killed, the death penalty.&nbsp;
We’ve reached out to the Hostage Dev team and will update this piece if we hear anything back.
