File #2: BNB Chain, the coin "4"
Chain: BNB Chain. Status: reported by news sites, not independently verified by me. Date caveat: the articles I found are dated October 2025, so this is a throwback, not fresh news.
A hacker reportedly took over a BNB Chain related X account, bought a meme coin called "4" with stolen funds and dumped it for roughly $4,000. The community then bought the token back, and it reportedly rose more than 400%, with volume near $57,000 and a market cap around $19,400 at the peak. CZ is quoted as calling it the "funniest comeback".
