This is the indicator from Planet Money.
I'm Waylon Wong, and I'm here today with occasional NPR reporter and producer Nick Neves,
who has a story about a squirrel and a meme coin.
Hi, Waylon.
Hi.
Okay, so you may remember Peanut the Squirrel.
He was an Instagram famous squirrel owned by this guy Mark Longo.
And Mark would dress him up in little cowboy hats and they would eat waffles together.
It was very cute.
Were the waffles also small?
Actually, the waffles were normal sized, but.
The cowboy hats were small.
The cowboy hats were small.
Were just peanuts.
Yes, but Mark didn't have a license to take care of wild animals.
And late last year, New York state agents raided his house and confiscated Peanut.
And in the process, it bit one of the officers.
And to test it for rabies, the officers killed Peanut the squirrel.
Ugh.
