On October 10, 2026, a Montreal resident nicknamed “raccoon guy” collected more than $110,000 in transaction fees after the launch of the “Pepper” cryptocurrency coin. The coin was created by an online trader using the alias Hiruzen and was named after Louka Berman’s raccoon.
The Pepper coin’s fee earnings were tied directly to the mascot’s association, linking the local resident’s raccoon image to the cryptocurrency’s financial activity.
