Does anyone think it's a coincidence that #AEX, first exchange to close withdrawal, tweeted about a $1B bank run THE SAME DAY that #Tether burned EXACTLY $1B?
WTF is a mid sized exchange doing keeping $1B around?
Unless it's... not real...
The period when #Tether was burning off huge $USDT amounts / day no one knew why. We thought redemptions. The biggest of all was the $1B. Which is AEX/Hoo.
Maybe: burns are #Tether taking back unbacked tethers. Maybe to mostly Chinese CEX. Maybe bc bonds failed
Huobi, KuCoin...
Everyone looking at this thread should read @Bitfinexed's thread here because @Bitfinexed knows stuff...
it is interesting to see that while this 𧡠is occurring the fine folks over at AEX just now, out of nowhere, turned on some limited withdrawals of the REAL coins. 𧡠is worrying them.
if we make a leap of faith here and assume that Chinese exchanges like Ku Coin need to cash in their $USDT somehow or risk having #tether burn it... but they can't just let tether burn it because they need the capital, then what's going on here?
1. $USDT on TRON chain, March 4th 2019 2. $USDT market cap start to go up, price of $BTC go up. 3. Tron is for Chinese market 4. From there USD on TRON goes up
1. TRON chain by Justin Sun 2. Used by π¨π³ 'CP' CEX (@defipaca) 2. TRON DAO offers 28.3% APY. LOL. in $USDT. 3. Justin Sun bailed on the scam Dec. 2021. . 4. USDT falters
please see whole π§΅. i'm like 90% sure this is how the tether scam is working. there may be more to it or small details different but this is how the pieces fit together.
Ugh #4 should be
"4. From there USDT on TRON goes up"
Folks i realize this is hard to understand. There will be a better write up soon.
Folks, here it is, an easier to read explanation of how #Tether and #JustinSun setup a scammy blockchain to inject $40B in fake $USD into the cryptocurrency economy. It's still not the best I could write - it's a first draft - but it'll do for now.

suddenly all these sock puppets comin' at me... must be right over the target.
@tavit_ makes an amazingly good point. some of the redemptions maybe ARE real. but that $1B one from AEX / Hoo is obviously not real. and a bunch of the others are also not real.
Apparently the intervention of God Emperor #SBF was only able to keep @investvoyager out of the jaws of #TheClosening for 9 days. May the #Voyager monster at last find peace in the void, inshallah.
reverse bart? someone just trying to liquidate the shorts? who knows. i def. was expecting to see another attempt back at $20K... doubtful this will be the last.
someone did this trade at like exactly 7:59PM EST... is there someone who is trying desperately to avoid some kind of contractual situation shoe conditions are checked every day at 8PM? cc @crasl7
$55M #Bitcoin positions liquidated in the last hour, almost half at @okx exchange.
@okx tweeted 5 hours ago about how $GBTC was going to a lawsuit... makes me wonder if their customers werre particularly bullish on $GBTC being approved?
π§΅about stuff I've learned about @CoinFLEXdotcom and @MarkDavidLamb. started looking into these characters in depth a few days before they became a hot item so this is an attempt to consolidate what i've learned.
Q: What is CoinFLEX?
A: It's not an average crypto exchange.
Start with the fact that this mostly unknown CEX does huge volume. Some days its volume makes it the 3rd largest #CEX in the world on CMC.
Nums are manipulated but Binance owns CMC. I'm sure top 10 spots aren't free.
Many days CoinFLEX's volume makes it a peer of major exchanges like Coinbase, FTX, and Huobi. See yesterday's CMC rankings in pics.
Retail traders think of CoinFLEX as a small market mostly built around a small altcoin, $BCH (Bitcoin Cash). $BCH trades can't create this volume.
#Coinflex CEO Mark Lamb just went on BloombergTV. talked about a plan to raise $ to cover for an "ultra high net worth" whale who isn't paying up. $rvUSD... r. v.... @rogerkver?
Lamb also confirmed there are huge futures trades in private markets... and involving his exchange.
@rogerkver the weird part: i did a kind of much too long analysis that lead me to the conclusion that #CoinFLEX's $BCH retail trading operation is, if not a front, then not their main business.
