At 11:47 AM on September 9, 2024, a meme coin launched by Hunter Biden's network hit the market with great fanfare. Within minutes, its price had dropped 98%.

LAPTOP, the token tied to Hunter Biden's venture, didn't just dip. It imploded under raw market pressure, leaving early buyers staring at empty screens while the project rushed into damage-control mode.
