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 π§΅ is occurring the fine folks over at AEX just now, out of nowhere, turned on some limited withdrawals of the REAL coins. π§΅ 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.
