Burwick Law wants Jito Labs dropped from Pump Fun lawsuit

Jito Labs and two of its execs are to be dropped from Burwick Law’s Pump Fun lawsuit “without prejudice” after an agreement was reached with Plaintiffs following the leak of 5,000 chat logs.

Law firms Burwick and Wolf Popper, representing plaintiffs Diego Aguilar, Kendall Carnahan, and Michael Okafor, informed Judge Colleen McMahon on Friday that their claims against Jito Labs, the Jito Foundation, CEO and COO Lucas Bruder, and Brian Smith should be dropped. 

The letter doesn’t mention why the plaintiffs and Jito Labs reached this agreement, and Judge McMahon has yet to approve the order.

However, a request to issue a second amended lawsuit, filed by legal counsel last week, suggests that it would drop a defendant to “further narrow the case.”

Whistleblower shares chat logs between Solana and Pump Fun

The request seeks more time to make amendments after a whistleblower provided Burwick and Wolf Popper with 5,000 chat logs indicating coordination between Solana Labs and Pump Fun.

The evidence supposedly shows Solana Labs engineers in “direct contact” with Pump Fun personnel as they discuss and offer advice on “key components implicated in the alleged enterprise,” such as “token program behavior, validator/priority inclusion pathways, or launch‐flow mechanics.”

Burwick and Wolf Popper claim that, “These communications go to the operation and management of the alleged racketeering enterprise, bolster predicate‑act allegations, and shore up venue and jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York given Solana Labs’ New York presence.”

If the request is granted, both law firms aim to use the time to create a single superseding lawsuit

Jito CEO wasn’t technically served a lawsuit

Jito Labs, Jito Foundation, Bruder, and Smith were added to the first amended lawsuit in July, but Bruder, Smith, and the foundation managed to avoid being served. 

The lawsuit accused Jito Labs of helping to provide the infrastructure for Pump Fun’s alleged illegal casino enterprise, inlcuding the MEV tooling and validator execution “necessary to scale the operation.”

The remaining defendants still facing claims from plaintiffs include Pump Fun (under the name Baton Corporation), and its executives Alon Cohen, Noah Bernhard Hugo Tweedale, Dylan Kerler. 

The Solana Foundation, Solana Labs, its CEO Anatoly Yakovenko,, co-founder, Raj Gokal, and President, Lily Liu, are still facing the lawsuit.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
