[Founder of bonk.fun: Bonk does not own the One Piece IP, and the related meme token released by Freya is an independent action]
Foresight News reports that Tom, the founder of bonk.fun, responded to a community user's question on Twitter: 'The "official" One Piece token issued by Bonk once reached a market cap of $57 million before crashing. This might be one of the worst token launches I've ever seen.' Tom clarified, 'This token did not originate from Bonk and has never been associated with Bonk. If we had the IP rights to One Piece, we would have announced it long ago. I’m not sure where this claim came from. It originates from a third-party project called Freya, which launched on the bonk.fun platform.
When we first learned about the product launch, we contacted the team, and it was clear there were many questions about the validity of the intellectual property. What they hold is only a small portion of the rights we had previously expressed, and we believe this has caused significant misunderstandings. They need to communicate better with the public. Today, they conducted the launch, but it wasn’t even done on bonk.fun. They directly injected liquidity into Raydium, bypassing the bonding curve, and minted a Bonk token to make it appear as if it were a Bonk token. This means that Bonkfun and our platform did not receive any revenue, token issuance, allocation, or fees from this launch. For months, people have been saying, "Bonk owns the One Piece IP," and I’ve been constantly correcting them, telling them they’re wrong.'
