MACKEREL PACKS – Alcatrout Prison’s no.1 store of value
Mackerel Packs (MACK$) are used as currency in Alcatrout prison. Like most inmates, if you don’t like the taste of the stuff you can trade it for all kinds of services to better your position. Trade your mackerel packs for a haircut, a phone call, or save up for something special.
The Mackerel King doesn’t eat his prison issued Mackerel Packs. Instead he hoards them and from his cell he plots to corner the MACK$ market.
Being a famous prisoner in Alcatrout comes with special privileges. In exchange for giving crypto tips to the wardens, the Mackerel King has bribed corrupt Senators to take control of the prison commissary: The Federal Prison XChange (FPX).
The Mackerel King planned to launch the newly branded Federal Mackerel Packs products on Bitcoin’s Runes protocol with a 90% premine, however at the time of launch he got distracted by playing his game ‘Prawn Leagues of the Sea’ and forgot to reserve himself supply.
So the Rune is now an open Mint with 0 premine.
To rectify his error the Mackerel King is now allegedly using his stolen offshore crypto to purchase as many Mackerel Packs as he can.
Hoarding his supply of MACK$ inflates prices dramatically. Other prisoners lose out on the opportunity to trade Mackerel at fair prices.
The Mackerel King also plans to use them to grease the wheels of his prison escape plan.
STOP THE MACKEREL KING FROM CORNERING THE MACKEREL PACKS MARKET!
Know that by holding Mackerel Packs you are waving your Middle Fin at the crypto scammers, crooks and fraudsters like the Mackerel King.

INTRODUCING THE VILLAINS OF ALCATROUT
Alcatrout Offshore Prison houses the notorious fraudster The Mackerel King and his newly formed white collar partners in crime: lawyer Larry Loopholen, gym junkie Slappy Da Silva and bean counter (sorry – MACK$ counter) Bookie Bookworm. Add to the mix the slippery MACK$ launderer Carena and they have a perfect criminal organisation. They must be stopped.


THE MACKEREL KING
The Master Confish
CEO of FPX Enterprises and self proclaimed ‘Mackerel King.’ Once a crypto billionaire, and now incarcerated for fraud, this crooked mastermind is figuring out a way to play the prison economy and get back on top. The Mackerel King uses his secret embezzled wealth to build his mackerel empire. To keep his operation running he gives crypto tips to the guards in exchange for privacy and discretion. He’ll do what it takes to keep the Mackerel flowing.

Russ ‘Slappy’ Da Silva
The Hired Muscle
Slappy is The Mackerel King’s hired muscle. Busted for Securities Fraud, he has now turned security guard. This pipe-hard walrus is fiercely loyal and feared both inside prison and out. Don’t lock eyes with him or stare at his Macks – this tough motherflipper will slap you silly and tear you a new gillhole. Slappy gladly accepts payment in Mackerel Packs, which he consumes almost hourly in order to maintain the protein fix he needs to remain crazily strong. By guzzling some of the supply he helps to keep Alcatrout inflation in check. Now that’s a healthy ecosystem.

Larry Loopholen
The Criminal Lawyer
‘Criminal’ lawyer who also resides in Alcatrout Prison. Larry has a knack for finding legal loopholes but has failed to free himself due to his continuing white collar crimes inside. Larry thinks he’s found a loophole which will allow his new client, the Mackerel King to appeal his conviction and get him off the hook.

Bookie Bitcoin
The Head Ledger
The Mackerel King’s trusty head bookkeeper is a workaholic shrimp who was jailed for setting up too many shell companies for his dodgy clients. Bookie’s skill is to know every deal going on in the prison at all times: every trade, service and gambling bet must be accounted for. Bookie accounts for all the MACK$ trades in the prison and studies the ledger digits like his life depends on it. A chronic gambler, he owes the Yakuza an ever increasing amount of Macks, so he can’t quit his day job any time soon. He’d be diced up faster than a sashimi salad.

Carena ‘The Cleaner’
The MACK$ Launderer
MACK$ launderer Carena operates a ‘Mackerel Washing’ service in the relaxed waters of Bermuda. This slippery eel helps the Mackerel King and his gang divert their ‘Mack Money’ outside the prison economy into the international financial system where their fraudulent businesses can flourish. To this captive audience of crooked bozos she can charge a premium.

SENATOR PELIGROSO
THE PELICAN CRIMELORD
Senator Peligroso is a greedy, dangerous bird who is responsible for a whole oil slick of corruption in the vicinity of Alcatrout. This grotesque pelican likes to snack on fresh mackerel from his desk while he arranges any number of crimes: embezzlement, MACK$ laundering, forced arrests, contract hits and more. No seedy job is too small if there’s some ‘blue’ to be made. An alliance with the Mackerel King spells bad news for the inmates of Alcatrout. Mack Packs will be strictly controlled, syphoned off and sold for profit if the Senator is not stopped.

THE HEROES OF ALCATROUT
Alcatrout Offshore Prison has been turned upside down by the Mackerel King’s gang, meaning that Mack$ are now tightly controlled. A plucky bunch of heroes have gathered to fight back: Red, an old timer teams up with the Dragon King to shake up the Mackerel King’s corrupt Mack$ economy. To help them they must locate a former Alcatrout inmate: a wise and legendary turtle.

Turtle Shrem
Runemaster Ledgerback
The story of Turtle Shrem has become a legend to the inmates of Alcatrout. Shrem was jailed as a heretic for his beliefs about a mystical ledger system which led to Mackerel Packs becoming a fair token of trade in Alcatrout without the Governor’s control. He patiently endured his 20 year sentence in the notoriously hard to escape prison, and he is said to know all its secrets.
Shrem consoled his fellow inmates with his belief in the holy Koi fish Satoshi Makamoto, who is said to grace Alcatrout waters with good luck. So popular was his famous ‘Shrempresso’ coffee drink that he amassed a large enough MACK$ holding to be able to pay off the Alcatrout Warden in exchange for privileges. When his release came, Shrem traded all his worldly Mack Packs for a single Mackerelbone coin. This allowed him to pay The Boatman for safe passage from the dangerous currents surrounding Alcatrout. He is said to live in a sea cave not too far from here. Follow the bioluminescence and you may find him…

Sea-Z ‘The Dragon King’
The floating trader
Sea-Z is the owner of the popular floating store ‘Sea-Z Traders.’ Famous far beyond the waters of Alcatrout, traders visit his currency exchange for his fair prices and variety of products. Jealous of the competition, the Mackerel King pays off Senator Peligroso, who has him unfairly arrested for selling unlicensed Mackerel Pack flavourings: namely his special variety of Mackerel fillets in Szechuan Sauce.

RED FREEMAN
The long termer
Red Freeman is an old timer and long term Alcatrout resident. He’s known for getting you those special items that are difficult to come by. Pay him a few Mack$ and it’s done. But when Sea-Z ‘The Dragon King’ is placed in his cell one fateful day, his life changes forever. After tasting Sea-Z’s spicy Szechuan flavoured Mackerel Pack he is hooked… Woken from his stupor, Red starts a rebellion over tastier food for inmates, leading to a riot that will shake Alcatrout to its core.

More Characters…
The waters of Alcatrout are a busy place, bustling with all kinds of legendary sealife…

CLAM STORAGE
MACK$ Security
In a place as dangerous as Alcatrout prison, you need security up the gill hole. For a price, clams offer high net worth prisoners the service of top security Mack storage. A clam’s iron grip is impossible to open without the account holder ‘singing’ a bunch of magic words in the right order. Crazy right? Yep, Clams are weird like that. A clam sleeps with one eye open, in case there are any nefarious Crabs about.. Do make sure your Mack Stack is secured.

MOBY BIT
THE LEGENDARY WHALE
Once a Minnow himself, Moby grew and grew, his appetite insatiable. Lurking in the deep, this hungry whale is always on the look out for Mackerel Packs. The Mackerel King lives in permanent fear of this beast, which stemmed from the time when he was hauling in a large cache of Mack Packs when Moby popped up and gobbled them whole. He is also the arch rival of Chinese whale investor Willy Wang.

WILLY WANG
The Chinese connoisseur
The Chinese whale investor Willy Wang is a connoisseur of the finer things in life and has a penchant for mackerel. More refined than his obese rival Moby Bit, Big Willy prefers to increase his Mack holdings gradually, in calculated yet substantial batches. It is known that Willy travels to Alcatrout waters once a year to sample the very freshest produce during the Mackerel packing season.

Satoshi Makamoto
Patron Saint of Sea Trade & Abundance
Fishermen living in Alcatrout waters hail this fish the Patron Saint of Sea Trade and Abundance. Just one sighting of this lucky fish can see their Mackerel haul fly into double digits. Make sure you don’t catch him. It would spell bad luck. Sending Prayers to Satoshi Makamoto is a regular pastime in Alcatrout. When the Seas are rough and the Sky is dark inmates light a candle and open a packet of Mackerel to leave as an offering to this divine creature. Satoshi Makamoto is said to adore MACKEREL•PACKS and will look favourably on any and all offerings that are sent to honour him.
INSPIRATION
The concept of Mackerel Packs in crypto form is inspired by the real world prison economy bartering system which is taking place in US jails right now. The Mackerel Packs meme pokes a ‘middle fin’ to all the scammers, spammers, copycats and bottom feeders of the internet who are spoiling the crypto ecosystem. We want crypto projects to have lasting value and we want to educate people about how to avoid the pitfalls that these scammers pose. Beware, avoid and report all scammers. Stay safe.
To a happy and sustainable Macks market.

SUSTAINABLE FISHING – WHY WE CHOSE RUNES
Bitcoins Runes protocol has many advantages for the launch of a memecoin.
Firstly it is on the mother chain. Runes are traded directly for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the original, biggest and best blockchain and also has the largest liquidity.
Casey Rodarmor, the creator of Runes implies directly that runes are for memecoins on Bitcoin. Other testnet crypto chains have in a way taken liquidity from Bitcoin and it is time that some of that liquidity returned to the mother chain. We support this movement. We are pro #Runes.
The Runes protocol has a unique way that the memecoin is created. The creator Etches the token and then selects if they want to reserve (premine) some supply or not. What is left is Minted by the minters. The process is completely transparent and simple to activate. By choosing not to Premine the token we launched MACKEREL•PACKS in an open mint free and fair format. Whoever wants to Mint the token does so by sending transaction fees to the Miners and not the creators of the Rune.
We see this as a much more fair and balanced way to operate. It incentivises the creators of Rune tokens to actively participate in the success of the token. On other testnet chains unscrupulous ‘devs’ can simply take peoples’ money and often disappear soon after launch (they rug pull).
The Runes protocol is therefore less likely to provide a place for scammers to scam, at least when it comes to the etching and minting process. There are two clear ways scam creators have tried to manipulate rune tokens: Firstly through ‘premining the token’ and secondly to set a very low ‘Max Mint Supply’ (under 10,000 mints is seen as being very low).
So speculators on runes have a choice where they can invest in tokens with zero premine and with a decent Max Mint supply such as MACKEREL•PACKS.
The User Interface on sites like Luminex also provides a lot of transparency. One can clearly see the number of Holders, the Max Mints, the amount per mint, the Total Supply and the top 100 address holders of the token. The legitimate tokens have also often added the official X social account for their Rune so you can find out more.
