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.

cryptadamus.substack.com/p/the-tetherer…
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.
Here's the original thread wherein I livetweeted figuring this out with @crasl7. it's a bit of a disaster in there but also an interesting detective story.
thank you u/tabbynat for sending me these links explaining that tether actually does - nay, ADVERTISES that they do - exactly what is described here!

Maybe let's look at... tether's own documentation?

mic dropped

(nothing else to put in my 280 allotment so thx @crasl7 @defipaca @BennettTomlin @tavit_ @ahcastor @davidgerard @molly0xFFF @ZekeFaux @FatManTerra @dirtybubblemed3 and course... @otteroooo!)

I'm gonna focus for a sec on what @tavit_. Look at what Paolo Scaramouche (#Tether) said - $7B redemptions they met!

Well we can be sure $1B of that was a lie, like so many other lies that are going to catch up with these dangerous morons.

What a joke.
i have updated the Substack so it's easier to follow.

ps if i ever had doubts about any of what i wrote, let me just say that the sheer number of sock puppets showing up on my social media right now has convinced me i am 100% over the target.

look 👇
Someone just asked me how sure I was that Tether did a massive burn of $1B from the #Tether wallet at that time.

🧵🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
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...

🚨🚨🚨@investvoyager joins @Hoo_exchange, @Aexglobal, @CoinSwitchKuber, and others in #TheClosening,

there is officially no more money (or $BTC) left to give back to unsecured creditors (they call themselves "depositors")

1st major exchange in North American market to do so.
@investvoyager has fallen.
#TheClosening claims another victim.
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.

#linegoup... lol. $BTC. Image
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

those of you who, like me, have grown complacent about checking the actual price of #Bitcoin may want to tune in right about now. Image
Is Camodia being forced to sell all their $BTC?
$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? ImageImage

🧵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.

based on info I could get, CoinFlex looked like derivatives market...

here's the full Mark Lamb (#coinflex CEO) interview on @BloombergTV

@sonalibasak letting him pitch a snake oil 20% APY shitcoin as a way to give his users back the money he owes them is a disgrace to journalism

madoff offered 12%. do yr job @sonalibasak
