1/ Welcome to the next episode of marketers shilling IDOs that you should avoid.

This time featuring the team at Yellowblock:

TeddyCleps
The Crypto Monk
Crypto Birb
CryptoRangutang
2/ Want to live a extravagant lifestyle and flex on your audience?

See how you can as well below!

*perfectly sells the top*
3/ Case 1: $POLK In my other threads we already know Moonrock & friends sell instantly.

Let’s see who actually pushes this out on Twitter.
4/ Case 2: $PMON This was also pushed out by Moonrock and shilled hard to trick newbies.
5/ Case 3: $ROOM

Another widely shilled IDO by CT influencers that dumped 96.7%.
6/ Case 4: $MATTER

This project suddenly changed it’s vesting schedule because of private sale investors repeatedly dumping . Guess who was quick to claim their tokens after the change?
7/ No tweets from them about $MATTER or any other of these projects in months even though they were so “bullish” on them.

You’d think as private sale investors they’d aim to support the project longterm.
8/ Case 5: Might I add $ERN to the mix. Down 90% since ATH shortly after the IDO.
9/ Case 6: Last but not least $XED, another Moonrock project that dumped very early on.
10/ This is another classic example of marketers pretending to trade who will shill anything available to them.

We all remember the engagement on Twitter during the first couple months of 2021. Imagine being a newbie seeing the tweets.

None of these tweets gave any disclosure.
Follow for more threads in the future!

1/ Meet Dritan Kapllani Jr, a US based threat actor tied to $19M from social engineering thefts targeting crypto holders.

Dritan flexes luxury cars, watches, private jets, & clubs all over social media.

Recently he was recorded on a call showing off a wallet with stolen funds. Image


2/ Dritan was caught flexing $3.68M on his Exodus wallet during a band 4 band (B4B) on a Discord call on April 23, 2026, trying to prove he had more money than another threat actor.

Dritan's ETH address: 0x4487db847db2fc99372a985743a26f46e0b2bba6
Discord ID: 1485730459483902103
3/ I traced 0x4487 back to a 185 BTC ($13M) social engineering theft on March 14, 2026.

Theft address: bc1qc07ytw5eh32khhvhtlw63kc5yfypvezru6gnue

Dritan's Exodus wallet received $5.3M from this theft on March 15. By the B4B six weeks later, $1.6M had already been spent or laundered.Image

1/ The $150M+ DSJ Exchange (DSJEX) / BG Wealth Sharing Ponzi scheme collapsed last week. From April 27 – May 3, illicit actors laundered $92M+ across chains to obscure the trail.

I helped lead an initiative with @Tether_to, @Binance Security Team, @OKX, & US law enforcement that has since frozen $41.5M+.Image
2/ DSJ / BG has been running since 2025, advertising 1.3% - 2.6% daily returns with referral commissions and rank-based bonuses.
DSJ = fake trading platform
BG = investment group

A fictitious CEO named Stephen Beard fronted the platform, while domains and hot wallets rotated regularly to evade law enforcement.

Recruitment and fake trading signals was pushed through a group on BonChat (Hong Kong messaging app).

h/t @dehek & BehindMLM for early coverage of the investment fraud.Image

Image
Image
3/ Thirteen regulators across five continents issued fraud warnings publicly about DSJ & BG.

US law enforcement seized one of the BG domains on April 23, 2026. (Bgwealthsharing[.]com). Image

1/ Recently an unnamed source shared data exfiltrated from an internal North Korean payment server containing 390 accounts, chat logs, crypto transactions.

I spent long hours going through all of it, none of which has ever been publicly released.

It revealed an intricate ~$1M/month scheme of fraudulent identities, forged legal documents, and crypto-to-fiat conversion.

Enjoy the findings!Image
2/ A DPRK IT worker had their device compromised via infostealer. Extracted data included IPMsg chat logs, fake identities, and browser history.

Digging through the IPMsg logs revealed this site being discussed:
luckyguys[.]site

An internal payment remittance platform, essentially a Discord-style messenger used by DPRK IT workers to report payments back to their handlers.Image
Image
3/ The site's default password was 123456, which remained unchanged for ten users.

The user list included roles, Korean names, cities, and coded group names consistent with DPRK IT worker operations.

Three companies which appeared are currently OFAC sanctioned: Sobaeksu, Saenal, & Songkwang.Image

1/ Welcome to the Circle $USDC files.

$420M+ in alleged compliance failures since 2022, including fifteen cases of the US-regulated stablecoin issuer taking minimal action against illicit funds. Image
2/ Circle operates USDC, a centralized stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD, marketed as a regulated company with a robust compliance program.

Its token contract includes a freeze/blacklist function, and its terms of service explicitly state it reserves the right to restrict access for suspected illicit actors "in its sole discretion".

The company is incorporated in the US, currently headquartered in New York City, and subject to US federal / state financial regulations.Image
Image
3/ On April 1, 2026, Drift Protocol was exploited for $280M.

The exploiter used CCTP to bridge 232M+ USDC from Solana to Ethereum across 100+ transactions over six consecutive hours. 10+ additional DeFi protocols across the Solana ecosystem were indirectly impacted.

Despite the attacker laundering funds over six consecutive hours across Circle's own native bridge, no USDC was frozen.

The attacker has been linked to DPRK by Elliptic.

1/ I uncovered a coordinated network of 10+ accounts manufacturing viral panic about war and politics to drive traffic to crypto scams.

Strategy:
>Purchase accounts with followers
>Doompost multiple times per day
>Repost content from alt accounts
>Promote fake giveaway or scam
>Change usernameImage
2/ Example: @wanglaurentceo

They started by purchasing an account with followers and use AI to create a fake Asian version of Mario Nawfal.

(User ID 1804235884826333184) Image
Image
Image
3/ Here’s related accounts reposting to boost the reach of posts about exaggerated or fake news.

This causes them to go viral each day with millions of views and thousands of likes / replies. Image

1/ Meet @WheresBroox (Broox Bauer), one of the multiple @AxiomExchange employees allegedly abusing the lack of access controls for internal tools to lookup sensitive user details to insider trade by tracking private wallet activity since early 2025. Image
Image
Image
2/ Axiom is a crypto trading platform founded by Mist & Cal in 2024. After going through Y-Combinator's Winter 2025 batch, it quickly became one of the most profitable companies in the space, generating $390M+ in revenue to date.

I was retained to investigate allegations of misconduct at Axiom after receiving reports.Image
Image
3/ Broox is a current Axiom senior BD employee based in New York.

In the clip Broox states he can track any Axiom user via ref code, wallet, or UID and claims he can "find out anything to do with that person".

He also describe researching 10-20 wallets initially and slowly increasing over time "so it does not look that suspicious"

In a separate clip from the same recording, Broox sets ground rules for how to request lookups from him and then says he'll send the full list of wallets.

The full recording is a private call of the group members strategizing.
