Breaking Bad star’s X account hacked for memecoin scheme
Dean Norris, known for his role in the TV series Breaking Bad, had his X account hacked to promote a memecoin using his likeness, which hit a peak value of over $8 million.
TV star Dean Norris had his X account hijacked to promote a memecoin that used his likeness as part of a pump and dump scheme.
In a Jan. 26 video posted to his X account, Norris, best known for his role as Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad, said he was hacked, and the memecoin, DEAN, was a “complete, fake scam” and blasted Reddit users who he claimed “called me all sorts of shit for something I didn’t do. Go fuck yourselves.”
The post promoting the token has been taken down, but users took screenshots of the original and subsequent posts from the hackers, which included an apparent doctored photo of Norris holding a piece of paper with the ticker DEAN and its launch date.
