Arnold Haro held up a single bullet to his cellphone camera, loaded it into his Smith & Wesson and spun the chamber.
It was 3:28 p.m. on Feb. 21, and he was in his ranch home in an isolated corner of California. He seemed in distress, scratching his scalp, breathing heavily. “If I die, I hope you guys turn this into a meme coin,” he told his followers on X, where he was livestreaming.
About three hours later, his dying wish came true. A crypto token named after Haro’s social media handle skyrocketed to more than $2 million in total value, before crashing back to earth. It wasn’t an isolated event. A gold rush ensued, and dozens of other copycat coins sprang up, some branded with stills from the livestream, as the meme coin community tried to profit on Haro’s suicide.
