A TON Foundation intern gave out coins live on pump.fun, and has been fired

According to BlockBeats, on September 15, the TON Foundation issued a statement saying, "We have noticed that the recent behavior of an intern at the TON Foundation has caused some questions and concerns in the community. Here is a clarification: the individual issued a personal Meme token on pump.fun and promoted it on social media and live broadcasts through a personal X account with the TON logo. During this period, some plans were also proposed about the future of the token, but the relevant posts were deleted, the live broadcast was suspended, and the project was abandoned. This was not the foundation's initiative, and the foundation never approved or supported the project. However, given that this person is responsible for managing the TON official X account, while using the TON with the TON The identified account promotes the token, which we understand will cause confusion and weaken trust. We attach great importance to this matter. This behavior does not match our values ​​and does not meet the standards we require for any person representing the TON Foundation (regardless of their role). From now on, the Foundation has terminated the individual’s partnership with the TON Foundation for some reason.”
