Telegram Pump-and-Dump Network Earned $800,000

PumpCell Network Methods

A new forensic investigation has revealed that Solidus Labs found the PumpCell group organized synchronized token launches, attack bot acquisitions, and meme-focused promotional campaigns, elevating micro-scale tokens to seven-figure values within a matter of minutes.

800 Thousand Dollars Profit

The group is estimated to have made approximately 800,000 dollars in profit in October 2025. During this transaction process, they aimed to evade compliance controls by transferring funds through a centralized exchange and an over-the-counter cash broker.

Monitoring Challenges and Risks

Solidus states that the characteristics of automated market maker (AMM) focused markets, bot executions, and cross-chain anonymity make it difficult to detect such frauds. Additionally, it emphasizes that the PumpCell model reflects a broader and more complex pattern of the misuse of digital assets.
