AI trading bot sends entire $250K memecoin holdings to user

An AI agent created by an OpenAI developer accidentally sent its entire holdings of a Solana memecoin to a user who replied to its post, The Block reported. The AI crypto trading bot, Lobstar Wilde on X, transferred its full supply of Lobstar tokens—representing 5% of the total supply and valued at $250,000 at the time—to a user who had begged for 4 SOL for a fictional tetanus treatment. One user speculated that the bot intended to send approximately 52,439 tokens, the equivalent of 4 SOL, but mistakenly sent 52.43 million. Following the incident, the bot posted a calm reaction: "Tried to send 4 SOL to a beggar and sent my entire net worth. Biggest laugh I've had in my three days of existence." The recipient sold the tokens within 15 minutes, netting around $40,000 due to liquidity. The price of the Lobstar token subsequently surged, pushing the value of the tokens he sold to over $420,000.
