The Kimchi account says “joined May 2019”. Its first post is from 2025. Six years of nothing.

Nobody makes an account and waits six years to post. Alon didn't make Kimchi. He bought him.

An old empty account, a new face, and in 2025 it starts posting jets, watches and one $40M trade.

Both bios say @pumpfun. One guy forgot to change it.

The $40M trade

Kimchi's whole legend is one trade. $40 million. On $TRUMP.

$TRUMP never traded on pump.fun.

So pump.fun's first celebrity trader got rich somewhere else. No wallet. No receipt. Just a guy on the street asking for a selfie.

Readers added context“…his signature claims of ~$40M profits trading $TRUMP (and resulting wealth) remain unverified with no disclosed wallet or on-chain proof.”
Community Note on Alon's signing post ↗
A fan: bro you made 40 million on one coin? Behind them: $TRUMP, not on pump.fun

One guy. Two signatures. Both say alon.
Kimchi behind Alon's face counts the influencer budget

Why?

Alon stopped paying influencers. So he became one.

No KOL deal. No allocation. No group chat. Just a second account and a bag he sent himself.

Cheapest marketing in crypto history. 75% of a coin, paid to the guy who already owns the company.

In his own words
