## One of the biggest names on Solana

This ex Fortnite player made millions trading memecoins in 2024-2025 and built a massive following.

Cupsey has always been an aggressive trader, but lately, his strategy took a darker turn.

Bubblemaps had a look at what was going on behind his public wallet, namely with his side wallets. We found a whole network of them that appears to profit a lot.

## 30 wallets - 3,000 tokens

We identified 30 wallets that are connected to Cupsey’s public pump.fun wallets. Together, they have trade over 27,000 tokens since May 7

This all happens in a pattern of:

- 4 wallets buy the token, distributes it to 12 side wallets
- Cupsey's public wallet buys
- Copy traders buy
- Side wallets begin dumping

In short, the side wallet sell into the buy pressure that Cupsey creates using his public wallet

## Close connection to a serial deployer

We found numerous links between Cupsey and the serial deployer *3z4vj* which launched and rugged thousands of tokens including $CUPSEY. It made $1.3 million in profits this way, Cupsey side wallets sniped more than 400 of its tokens.

### Buy, post, sell, post

On $PACK, the side wallets sold 10 SOL early, then 109 SOL as the price climbed, while the public wallet sold 71 SOL later. 

On $SAW, side wallets sold 62 SOL, then 24 SOL around the same time Cupsey was posting about the token.

### The money gained

- Side wallet operation: $1.7M
- Serial rugger connected to Cupsey $1.3M
- Cupsey earned $300K in PumpFun callout rewards

As you can see, this all goes way behind callout rewards. We hope to educate you as a trader or copy trader of the system behind the curtain.
