Arnold Haro, a 23-year-old known on the internet as @mistafuccyou, grabbed a handgun and started a livestream one afternoon in February. Wearing a white t-shirt and gold chains around his neck, he paced around his bedroom and spoke calmly to the camera as a group of his followers watched. “I’m gonna play Russian roulette,” he said. “If I f**king die, make it a memecoin.” Two hours later, he was pronounced dead at his home in California.
The video of Haro’s final moments went viral, garnering thousands of views in the hours before it was taken down by X. While many viewers were appalled by what they saw, others took him up on his final offer and launched memecoins named for Haro’s online persona.
