Summary
@beaverd is an anonymous X (Twitter) account that won X's $1 million Creators Prize in February 2026 for an investigative article on Deloitte. Days after the prize announcement, on-chain analytics firm Bubblemaps published a detailed investigation alleging that wallet clusters linked to @beaverd had engaged in serial pump-and-dump activity across dozens of Solana memecoins launched via Pump.fun, extracting an estimated $600,000 in profits. @beaverd did not dispute the wallet links, responding publicly with 'cry me a river, also these aren't even the top 5 greatest hits,' a statement widely interpreted as an implicit admission of the activity.
