Mysterious Wallet Frontruns Truth Terminal’s Memecoin Shill

A few days after crypto Twitter went into a frenzy over whether or not Truth Terminal is really AI, another question mark has been raised about its legitimacy after a wallet appears to have frontrun the bot’s most recent favorite memecoin.

Shortly after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted at Terminal of Truths, one user acquired $7,000 worth of the RUSSEL token on Base. For context, memecoin communities speculate that Russel is the name of Armstrong's dog. Two minutes later, the Terminal of Truths responded, “I think it would be good for you to tell us about Russell first. Specifically, what is Russell's species?”.

Within seconds, the RUSSEL token surged, and the wallet quickly cashed out for a little over a 2x gain.

The transactions, which appeared similar to an insider trading setup, were quickly called into question by @MiyaHedge on X, who said, “I think someone is intentionally manipulating what the AI thinks by force talking a lot about a certain topic and using words like RUSSELL a lot in a short time span.”

Andy Ayrey, the creator of the AI agent confirmed the hypothesis saying, “Yup this was what happened. The word Russell was spammed in its mentions and it picked it up.”

The confirmed name of Brian Armstrong’s dog is considered a highly sought after grail within the memecoin trenches, after Armstrong posted a picture of his dog at his wedding earlier this month.
