Overview

• Multiple celebrity Instagram accounts posted a doctored or AI-generated image of Future holding a coin labeled FREEBANDZ before the posts were removed.
• The Solana token was created via Pump.fun and briefly reached a market cap near $900,000 before plunging by about 98% to roughly $20,000.
• On-chain data ties the dump to a creator wallet ending in zcmPHn, which sold 700 million tokens—about 70% of supply—and withdrew around 251.57 SOL, or about $49,000.
• Future’s Instagram account is currently inactive on the platform, and none of the affected celebrities had issued public statements as of the latest reports.
• Security researchers note the incident mirrors prior social-media hijacks used to run pump-and-dump crypto schemes, including earlier hacks of major brand and influencer accounts.
