Note that lonemikol launched a token on the Pump.fun site a few days before the incident. In order to attract the attention of the audience and new funds, the developer staged a “shootout” with Roman candles with friends.
They broadcast what was happening on the social network X (formerly Twitter):

Lonemikol asked to be doused with some flammable liquid. Later it turned out that it was isopropanol.
After this, the developer had to run through a group of friends who at that moment were shooting Roman candles at him. One of the guys can be heard in the background saying they have water in case of a fire.
Almost immediately, the developer's clothing caught fire. The fire was put out, but he was still badly burned. He was admitted to a hospital in Miami.
In the comments Decrypt one viewer noted that up to 35% of the skin or more could be damaged in lonemikol. His burns are likely third degree.
Against the backdrop of what happened, the DARE rate jumped from $0.000056 to $0.002 at its peak. The price then pulled back, but it is still significantly higher than at launch.
