It is reported that the PEPE held by Matt Furie mainly comes from the donation of Pauly, the founder of the NFT market Not Larva Labs.
Earlier news, Pauly said that the true identity of the founder of PEPE is Zachary Testa who currently lives in Arizona. Zachary is active on social media with the accounts z (@degenharambe) and Lord Kek (@LordKekLol). Zachary Testa was born in 1997, graduated from Arizona State University in 2018, and is now a professional photographer.
PAULY accused Zachary Testa and his team of making huge profits from PEPE (even buying a Lamborghini), but did not give anything back to Matt Furie, the creator of the original image of "Pepe the Frog". In addition, Pauly said that he helped the PEPE team contact the Binance listing team and the SushiSwap team, which enabled PEPE to list on Binance. Pauly also mentioned that Zachary Testa also had multiple record violations when taking photos in real life.
