David Hirsch, the former head of the Crypto Asset and Cyber Unit at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has sparked a heated debate on social media after announcing his departure from the agency. The news was met with excitement and speculation about his future plans, particularly after Pump.Fun, a cryptocurrency exchange, claimed to have welcomed him as their new "Head of Trading."

However, David quickly dismissed the rumors, stating on his LinkedIn post that the claim by Pump.Fun was false. Following his denial, the news article on Binance's website regarding his joining Pump.Fun was removed. The crypto community was left wondering if the statement from Pump.Fun was a genuine offer or a sarcastic comment as part of an elaborate prank.

Some Twitter users believe that Pump.Fun's statement was a joke that everyone failed to see. They pointed out a tweet from Pump.Fun that mentioned David being in charge of launching over 1,000 coins per day, which seemed too good to be true. Another user speculated that Pump.Fun might be intentionally provoking the SEC to receive a subpoena, potentially leading to enforcement action.

Despite the controversy, many people are greeting David Hirsch on his new venture. However, the crypto community remains in suspense, eagerly waiting for definitive confirmation on whether David Hirsch has indeed joined Pump.Fun.
