Bubblemaps Says Cupsey Side Wallets Extracted $1.74M

On Solana, a public buy can look like a signal. Bubblemaps says linked wallets treated that signal as exit liquidity.

Bubblemaps posted an on-chain probe on November 9. It says Solana memecoin trader @Cupseyy used about 30 linked wallets to pull roughly $1.74 million since May 7. Bubblemaps says those Cupsey side wallets sold into copy-trader demand after his public pump.fun buys. The claim is Bubblemaps' map, not a court finding.

What Bubblemaps Says Happened

In the thread, Bubblemaps calls Cupsey one of Solana's biggest trading names. It says he is an ex-Fortnite player who made millions in memecoins across 2024 and 2025 and built a large following. The account shows roughly 235,000 followers on X.

The firm says it found about 30 wallets connected to Cupsey's public pump.fun wallets. Since May 7, those wallets allegedly traded more than 27,000 tokens. About 3,000 of them, Bubblemaps says, moved through a side-wallet scheme.

Bubblemaps describes a repeating pattern:

1. Four operational wallets buy and distribute tokens to about 12 side wallets.

1. Cupsey's public wallet, labeled 6DQAGJ in the maps, buys.

1. Copy traders pile in.

1. The side wallets start dumping.

One Bubblemaps diagram shows operational wallets feeding side wallets thousands of tokens. Roughly $2.0 million flows back to the operational group. Another about $484,000 moves through a downstream set. Treat those figures as the firm's labeled flows, not as audited books.

How Cupsey Side Wallets Allegedly Worked

The strange part is the timing. Bubblemaps says that while Cupsey posted callouts, side wallets were already selling, often right after the public buy. In the firm's telling, the first exit hits copy traders. Social traders come next.

One marked example tracks $SAW price against Cupsey's public posts. Bubblemaps flags windows where side wallets sold about 62 SOL and later about 24 SOL while bullish callouts were still going out. The chart is evidence Bubblemaps chose to publish. It is not a full market record.

Worse, in Bubblemaps' account, Cupsey has multiple on-chain links to a serial deployer truncated as 3z4vj. That deployer, the firm says, launched and rugged thousands of tokens, including $CUPSEY. Cupsey's side wallets, Bubblemaps says, sniped more than 400 of those launches. The firm puts the deployer's trading profits at about $1.3 million.

Bubblemaps separates the side-wallet haul from public callout rewards. It says the side-wallet operation made about $1.74 million across roughly 3,000 tokens since May 7. Cupsey earned about $331,000 in callout rewards, per the same thread. The firm credits @ogmothy for the lead.

Why Did It Matter?

Why did it matter? Because copy-trading turns a verified badge into a market order. If a public buy is the bait and linked wallets are the exit, retail attention becomes inventory for someone else's sell.

This sits on the crypto scams map next to other rug and attention-exit patterns. The mechanism is not a novel bridge exploit. It is influence plus wallet clustering plus speed. Social trading was sold as transparency. Bubblemaps argues the same rails can hide a second book.

No U.S. regulator filing, arrest notice, or exchange statement sits with this thread at publish time. Cupsey has not posted a clear public reply in the first hours after the maps dropped. Wallet links can be disputed. Dollar totals depend on Bubblemaps' labels and prices. Readers should treat the $1.74 million figure as a claim with receipts Bubblemaps published, not as a settled verdict.

New tools change the surface of memecoin fame. The human motives stay familiar. When a crowd pays for a legend's next click, someone else may already be selling into the cheer.
