I knew someone would come out with a Let's Go Brandon token 😆

Now I'm waiting for someone with the courage to come out with an FJB token that has no formal name other than the initials, just the acronym

haha, I think that is probably too crude for the mainstream. That's why LGBCoin.io is perfect

Didn't Corzine (Illinois '69) also wire a huge amount of customer funds to the UK, to avoid having to immediately payback his clients?

That is about as blatant as wire fraud gets. The guy running a kabob stand would be in prison in a snap for taking his customer's money and sending it overseas rather than returning it.

Yes (and he got his MBA at Chicago Booth). The boy from downstate Taylorville was very creative.

Yvonne Craig (Batgirl) is also from Taylorville.

If this individual had not been closely affiliated with the Democrats, he surely would have faced serious legal consequences. And the Dems would have used him as an example of runaway corporate greed.

Tried buying LGB yesterday on uniswap and transaction failed twice. Had plenty of funds for the gas fees and all.

Hmm, I hope someone from the community can help because I do not know how to solve this problem. https://geckoterminal.com/eth/pools/0x1de76481f8881ed323ede2388095a59fda09be9b is a link to see it so maybe from there you can try and buy it

lol gotchu no worries. As well, the following message is of some importance, idk if you care but you might have to restart the project.

I think there's a problem in how you named it. It is currently named this: "Let's Go Brandon" I ran the disassembler on your contracts bytecode, and it looks like the " ' " in the Let's didnt parse properly for the character encoding solidity uses.

/*END*/

It appears to be the case solidity uses UTF-8 to encodes characters and not ASCII and due to that , " ' " got mapped to " ' " which is the html encoding of " ' " and would take 5 bytes ascii. Seems to me, that due to using a string literal and having it cast to string, the " ' " being more than a byte to represent in UTF-8 caused an overflow. This matches with the fact that in the Arg[0] in the encoded view has just a bunch of 0's a single a and then more zeros, when really a string in byte form is more complex than that.

What should have probably happened is construct a byte string then create a string out of it.

probably should have done something like

function createString() public pure returns (string) {

string memory newString = new string(...);

bytes memory byteString = bytes(newString);

byteString[0] = "L";

byteString[1] = "e";

byteString[2] = "t";

byteString[3] = "'";

byteString[4] = "s";

.....

return string(byteString);

}

As someone who had a good chunk of change sitting at MF Global I do believe we should have this day remembered as James Koutoulas day! It took a year and half to get my money but I did not do a deal with the investment banks for 90 cents on the dollar. Leave it to the banks to make money off this crackpot. Being Corzine is an Illini grad....hmmmm...kinda stains the Big Ten....

Thank you for your efforts, James! I remain upset that Corzine was not prosecuted.
