Burwick Law, a leading US-based law firm specializing in digital consumer protection, has announced that it has initiated legal action against controversial memecoin launch platform PumpFun. The firm is representing investors who claim to have lost significant amounts of money due to alleged irregularities on the platform.
In a public statement, Burwick Law invited affected investors to join the lawsuit by completing a free, no-obligation entry form. “If you have lost money in any PumpFun memecoin, you may be entitled to compensation,” the firm said, noting the seriousness of the allegations.
According to Burwick Law, PumpFun collected hundreds of millions of dollars in fees while promoting a platform filled with problematic content and activities, including illegal drug use, racism and other antisocial behavior. The platform’s anonymous founder, who has openly acknowledged the importance of transparency in cryptocurrency projects, has raised concerns about accountability by remaining anonymous.
“PumpFun’s lack of transparency and governance demonstrates the exploitation of everyday investors in the memecoin ecosystem,” Burwick Law said.
The case comes amid growing criticism of memecoin projects, which often involve speculative assets that disproportionately benefit a few insiders at the expense of individual investors. Burwick Law cited broader problems in the crypto space, including scams, rug pulls and an emphasis on projects that prioritize short-term profits over societal impact.
“We all came to crypto for its profound promises of democratized finance, disruption of established systems, and empowerment of every individual worldwide. However, today the landscape is dominated by scams and speculative assets like memecoins,” he said.
