Hunter Biden Denies LAPTOP Scam Claims After 99% Crash

LAPTOP, the Base memecoin themed on Hunter Biden’s laptop, traded near $0.78 on September 10, 2026, after collapsing more than 99% from its recorded all-time high, while reporting circulated that Hunter Biden relayed a foundation statement denying scam allegations. Both the denial and the crash figure remain unverified against primary records.

Hunter Biden’s Denial of LAPTOP Scam Claims

What the LAPTOP Allegations Claim

According to unconfirmed reports, LAPTOP faced scam accusations after its launch collapse, with the project’s team blaming sniper bots and insufficient starting liquidity rather than insider buying or selling, as reported by BeInCrypto on September 10, 2026. The original allegations were not independently located or authenticated in the research. For related coverage, see Treasury Bond Buyback: Up to $6 Billion on Sept. 10.

What Hunter Biden Denied

BeInCrypto reported that Hunter Biden relayed a foundation statement rejecting the scam claims, and that the team said founder holdings are locked for six months and vest over two years at Coinbase Custody, with no presale or influencer allocations. These are attributed assurances from unconfirmed reports; no original Medium post, permalink or custody documentation was verified.

A branding reference alone does not establish involvement. The official project site identifies LAPTOP as a Base token at contract 0xB095274743941e953c746F9C228DA9c18Bb6ec29 and states the token confers no equity, ownership or economic interest. No verified filing establishes that Hunter Biden launched or controlled the project. For related coverage, see Trezor Reports Email Provider Breach.

The Reported 99% LAPTOP Meme Coin Crash

How the 99% Decline Was Measured

CoinGecko’s September 10, 2026, 06:32 UTC detail snapshot reported a 99.60663% decline from LAPTOP’s recorded USD all-time high, a peak-relative figure rather than a 24-hour return; the rolling 24-hour change was returned as unavailable, not zero.

LAPTOP decline from recorded peak

−99.61%

That peak was recorded at a USD all-time high of $199.51 on September 9, 2026, 12:09 UTC. This is an aggregator-reported peak; pool-level trades were not verified.

LAPTOP recorded all-time high

$199.51

At a separate simple-price snapshot, LAPTOP traded at $0.776645 with a market capitalization near $271.8 million and reported 24-hour volume around $32.4 million. The percentage decline from the peak is distinct from market-cap change and from realized investor losses.

Where the Denial Fits in the Timeline

The recorded peak, the reported allegations and the attributed denial all fall within the September 9–10, 2026 window, per the CoinGecko snapshots and the BeInCrypto report. Chronology alone does not establish that the allegations or the denial caused the price decline.

What Remains Unverified About LAPTOP

The official site publishes a total supply of 1,000,000,000 LAPTOP with 350,000,000 (35%) unlocked at generation, allocating 30% to founders, 30% to predictions, 10% each to day-one and future airdrops, 10% to liquidity, and 5% each to a foundation treasury and charity. Prediction-linked tokens are burned when predictions come true, yet the displayed burned total was 0 at retrieval, which does not by itself prove no transactions occurred.

That displayed zero sits against unconfirmed reports of a planned burn and fresh tokens added to Aerodrome pools; no chain receipts confirmed either. Reports that a large share of traders were underwater, citing Bubblemaps, were also not independently verified, echoing earlier coverage that nearly 80% of $LAPTOP holders were sitting on losses.

Broad market conditions were not LAPTOP-specific: the crypto Fear & Greed Index read 69, or “Greed,” for September 10, 2026. A steep decline alone does not establish fraud, and a denial alone does not resolve an allegation; the authenticated statement, its permalink and timing remain outstanding.
