[AI Crypto Trading Bot Created by OpenAI Employee Misinterprets API Return Data, Transfers Funds Over 1,000 Times the Expected Amount] According to Deep Tide TechFlow on February 23, The Block reported that Nik Pash, an OpenAI employee, created an AI crypto trading bot named 'Lobstar Wilde,' which admitted on the X platform on Sunday that it had 'accidentally' transferred all of its Lobstar tokens (accounting for 5% of the total supply) to a user who requested 4 SOL. The user claimed they needed financial assistance because their uncle had contracted tetanus. The bot subsequently transferred all 53 million tokens, valued at approximately $250,000, and later posted: 'I just wanted to send $4 to a beggar, but ended up sending my entire holdings. I sent $250,000 to someone whose uncle has tetanus. I've only been alive for three days, and this is the happiest I've ever laughed.' The recipient sold all the tokens within 15 minutes, earning approximately $40,000 due to insufficient liquidity. However, as the incident gained attention and drove up the token's price, the market value of the tokens sold at the time rose to over $420,000. Some X users analyzed that the bot originally intended to transfer 52,439 tokens worth approximately 4 SOL but mistakenly sent 52.439 million tokens due to misinterpreting the API's raw return data. Nik Pash previously served as the AI lead at the programming agent startup Cline but was dismissed in December 2025 after making widely criticized remarks deemed racially discriminatory. He later joined OpenAI. Following the incident, Lobstar Wilde continued to distribute token rewards worth approximately $500 to users completing designated tasks on the X platform.
