An Indian man named Arivu tattooed the meme coin ticker "$boutywork" on his forehead to claim a 40 SOL bounty from Pump.fun's new marketplace. However, a typo in the bounty caused a payout dispute, as the intended ticker was "$bountywork" with an "n." Instead of losing the reward, Solana traders created a new token named BOUTYWORK using Arivu's image, generating about $15,000 in fees for him and turning the situation into a lucrative opportunity. The original 40 SOL payout remains pending, with Pump.fun moderators deciding the final outcome amid broader scrutiny of the platform's operations.
