Svmuu reported that Roaring Kitty, the protagonist of the GameStop "Retail vs Wall Street" saga and the king of meme stocks, had his official X account allegedly compromised in the early hours of today. The hacker posted the contract address of the meme coin Red Kitten Crew (RKC), causing the token's market cap to briefly reach $12 million before plummeting to $1.8 million.
Shortly afterwards, Roaring Kitty appears to have regained control of the account and deleted the tweet containing the contract address. Roaring Kitty himself has yet to issue a clarifying statement, with the community widely believing that the posting of the meme coin contract address was due to a brief account compromise.
