A hooded man climbed the Hollywood sign to advertise a cryptocurrency, and it worked (for one day)
In February 2025, LAPD arrested a guy who hung an ad banner for the "Vigilante" token on the actual Hollywood sign. The stunt, staged by the project itself, sent the price up 60,000% in minutes. The next day it crashed 99.5%.
The stunt was part of a familiar playbook among meme-coin projects: stage a viral — in this case, illegal — shock moment to spike the price in minutes, pull in buyers riding the fear of missing out, and let early holders cash out before the bubble deflates. It's the classic pump-and-dump pattern, just with an arrest attached this time.
