Pump.fun laid off employees just before their PUMP token grants vested, causing losses worth millions.

Pump.fun, a major Solana meme coin platform, reportedly cut employees in late March and early April just weeks before their PUMP token allocations were set to vest. At least one former employee lost a token grant now valued in the seven figures. The layoffs were attributed to rapid expansion, and some dismissed employees claim they were let go to avoid paying out token grants. The company has not publicly responded to these allegations, while the PUMP token price remains volatile, down 77% from its peak last year.
