币界网报道：A U.S. judge has consolidated two lawsuits against Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, while criticizing the "excessive" legal fees sought by plaintiff Blake Burwick's attorneys. The lawsuits allege Pump.fun manipulated token prices and misappropriated user funds. District Judge John Tunheim merged Burwick's case with another class-action suit, noting both make similar claims about the platform's operations. The judge specifically questioned Burwick's lawyers' request for $1.1 million in fees, calling it "unreasonable" given the early stage of litigation. Pump.fun, which gained notoriety for enabling rapid memecoin creation and trading, faces accusations of artificially inflating token values before allegedly "pulling the plug" on projects. The platform has denied wrongdoing, arguing its terms of service protect it from such claims. Legal experts suggest the merged case could set important precedents for DeFi platform liability.
