[AI Trading Bot Lobstar Wilde 'Generously Donates' $250,000 Worth of Meme Tokens Due to API Error] According to The Block, the AI crypto trading bot 'Lobstar Wilde,' developed by OpenAI employee Nik Pash, 'accidentally' transferred all of its Memecoin tokens (approximately 5% of the total supply) to a user on the X platform named 'treasure David,' who had requested 4 SOL. At the time, the tokens were valued at around $250,000, but due to liquidity issues, the recipient was only able to sell them for approximately $40,000. It is speculated that the incident may have been caused by the bot misinterpreting API return data. The bot originally intended to send 52,439 tokens, valued at roughly 4 SOL, but due to a misunderstanding of the API's raw response, it ended up sending 52.439 million tokens. Following the incident, Lobstar Wilde continued to post tasks on the X platform and randomly rewarded users who completed tasks with approximately $500 worth of Lobstar tokens. This event has sparked concerns about potential fraudulent behavior by AI agents, with some users questioning whether such incidents could mark the beginning of 'the largest era of fraud in human history.'
