Did A Crypto Trader Livestream Shooting Himself For A Meme Coin? MistaFuccYou's Fatal Game Of Russian Roulette Explained
A video of a young man allegedly taking his own life in a game of Russian roulette shortly after asking his viewers to launch a meme coin in the event of his death has been spreading around on social media lately, with users commenting that losing his last $500 in a bad trade pushed him to this drastic step.
Who was Arnold Haro, known online as MistaFuccYou, and what really happened in the gruesome livestream? Let's explain.
Who Was MistaFuccYou?
Arnold Robert Haro, known online by his X / Twitter alias MistaFuccYou, was a 23-year-old cryptocurrency trader from Madera, California. On his social media account @MistaFuccYou, Haro shared memes, posted about his life and often engaged in conversations about cryptocurrency and meme coins. According to information available online, Haro also had a son.
Surprisingly, you might have already seen Arnold Haro in a much more lighthearted video circulated online two years prior, as he has been identified as the man in the viral "360 Vomit Spin" video you can see below.

The GoFundMe campaign launched by Haro's family describes him as "a bright, kind, and hilarious soul […] who had a gift for making people laugh and offering unwavering support," and reveals that he had been struggling with depression.
Shortly before the tragic events of February 21st, Haro's social media posts show signs of a mental health struggle, with some of his last posts reading, "I’m all out of tears all I could do is laugh now," and, "Before you crash out and throw your life away ask your self it really matters."
A post about his death shared on a cryptocurrency exchange reveals that shortly before his death, Haro lost his last $500 in a so-called rug pull, although this could not be confirmed.
What Is The Meme Coin Suicide Video?
Late in the evening of February 21st, 2025, Arnold Haro started a livestream on his X account (@MistaFuccYou), announcing that he would be playing a game of Russian roulette and asking his viewers that in the event of his death, they make it into a meme coin and send it to his Solana address.
This is how the tragic events of the stream unfolded. After making his announcement, Haro grabbed a revolver, loaded a single bullet into its chamber and spun it several times, commenting that he didn't know where the bullet was.
After repeating his wish to be made into a meme coin one more time, Haro put the gun to his temple, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger three times in rapid succession.
While the first two shots dry-fired, the third round seemed to be live. Haro is briefly seen falling to the ground as blood appears to begin sprouting from his head before the camera fades to black.
The livestream continued for over an hour, with Haro continuing to make gurgling sounds for approximately 20 minutes before all sounds stopped.
While the video has since been removed from Haro's X account, a censored clip from it has been shared by other users both on X and on other sites as word of the incident quickly went viral and spread online in late February 2025.
How Did People React To MistaFuccYou's Meme Coin Suicide?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, some users in the crypto community decided to honor Haro's wish, with several meme coins bearing his name and likeness being launched on the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Pump.fun in the minutes following his death.
The creator of the most successful of the coins, mistacoin, sent 70 percent of its supply to MistaFuccYou's Solana account, which he shared on his livestream before his death.
As news of MistaFuccYou's suicide spread on X, confirmed by his family launching a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses, many users deemed the behavior of those traders who created and traded the meme coins utterly heinous, with one user commenting, "The meme coin community is pure evil."
Another user suggested that "scumbags that made money off this guy's suicide" should donate some of their earnings to Haro's GoFundMe campaign.
At the time of writing this article, the campaign gathered $24,400 of donations, less than half of the required sum.
