A crypto trader turned $285 into $627,000 in one day by buying and selling a memecoin called "zreal." However, some claim the trader was an insider who rigged the game by buying 66.3 million ZREAL tokens and selling 10 million for a profit of $417,000.

The trade comes amid a mini memecoin season, with record daily trading volume on Pump.fun and a community of over 7,000 members on X.
