If I’m getting this right: The devs of some random (?) erc20 token called shib gave vitalic something like half the tokens without asking him. At some point he cashed out 1bn USD from it to donate to india covid relief and crashed the price. He then burnt (send to an invalid address) the remaining 90% or something (around 6bn USD at the time) to… I guess make a point? And kept the rest to be sent to another charity.
