Dunn stated that he is currently hospitalized and posting from an iPad provided by the hospital. He indicated that his mental health is under scrutiny, and he might not be fit for police questioning until after his bail if deemed mentally fit.
Despite being a Canadian national, Dunn claimed that he had been contacted by his local embassy, which provided a list of lawyers to his family. However, he stated that he cannot communicate with them until he recovers his devices, some of which have been seized.
Dunn mentioned still having his passport and not being cautioned by authorities against leaving the country. He allegedly had reported to a police station on August 15 and claimed that a private intelligence company had been hired to locate him in London.
In another post, Dunn encouraged UK citizens to press charges against a company allegedly associated with pump.fun, that his bail conditions prohibit him from contacting the firm and its CEO.
