Sounds like he's just doing what he set out to do and raise money. Gotta cash in for fiat at some point to fund research. If people bought in to make money off of this, it's on them. Unless I'm missing something here.

Hi @blader, I'm the person who sent you 50% of $MIRA earlier today. When I saw the story about Mira and her illness, I thought it would be good to buy and send supply to you with the hopes of getting the SOL community behind a good cause on Christmas. I'm really glad that it

there is no official telegram chat, there is no airdrop, there is no claim. and do not buy $MIRA if you don't expect it to go to zero eventually. if you are buying you are donating to support rare disease research. and i am grateful if you do.

I want to express profound gratitude for the generosity of folks supporting Mira and the craniopharyngioma community. What may seem like a small effort can have an unprecedented positive impact for our patients and their families through improved research! Thank you! Thank you!! …

uh so some random guy 20 minutes made a SOL memecoin called $MIRA to help with research fundraising and sent me half the entire supply and it's now worth like $400K and i literally don't know what to do because i certainly don't want to rug a bunch of random people
