On October 6, 2026, @the_smart_ape described an anonymous bot factory that launched $SI 11 seconds after a Trump post, dumped within minutes for $24.5k and missed a run to $67.6M. His conclusion: the dev "scammed everyone and still made the least money in the room." Iris followed the factory's money. The launch checks out almost exactly. The conclusion does not.

The launch, checked on chain

$SI ("Super Inu") was created on September 21, 2026 at 15:44:55 UTC on Raydium LaunchLab, 11 seconds after the post. In the launch block, the dev and 3 co-buyers took 31.57% of the supply for 12.9 SOL. The first sale came 4 seconds after creation, and everyone was out within 4 minutes, for 207.94 SOL in total.

Three corrections

The 3 co-buyers were not freshly funded. In the launch block they paid the dev 5.9 SOL, which went into the buy; they are a standing crew, active since March. Six more wallets received $SI 58 seconds in and sold it, so the 207.94 SOL came out of 10 wallets, not 4.

There were not 699 more launches but 1,376 in 14 days from the same dev wallet: 712 on Raydium LaunchLab, 662 on pump.fun and 2 on Meteora, a new token about every 15 minutes. On October 5, three minutes after the dev's last launch, the crew started funding a new dev wallet, which had made 52 launches by October 6.

And not the least money in the room: since March 27 the dev has sent 6,142 SOL in 197 transfers to one treasury, 965 SOL of it in the 15 days after $SI. The treasury sent back only 148 SOL.

The cash-out

The treasury sent 1,750 SOL straight to a Kraken deposit address and 5,000 SOL to a hub. The hub sent the same Kraken deposit address 9,078 SOL and $1.88M in stablecoins, though it also takes money from other wallets. Kraken's hot wallet sent 4,257 SOL back to the hub: one Kraken account is used in both directions. About 785 SOL was still held across the crew, 386 SOL of it in the treasury.

An unconfirmed lead: on October 2 the treasury sent 40 SOL into Privacy Cash, and 8 seconds later 39.85 SOL came out to a wallet that had already paid the treasury 7 times. Iris rates the match at 99%, with an anonymity set of 3.

Not verified by Iris: the $67.6M peak, the snipers' $875k, the launchpad's $850k and other figures from the original thread. Look-alike copies of the crew's addresses are being dusted, so check every character before copying.
