Could the FTX Accounts Drainer be @SBF_FTX?

1.🧵

We share some interesting findings with you.
2.

Noah(@Noah_nftn) tweeted that Former employees of FTX @vydamo_ disclosed 0xd275e5cb559d6dc236a5f8002a5f0b4c8e610701 is one of the addresses of misappropriating customer funds.
3.

Starting on November 8th, 0xd275 carried out large-scale $ETH transfers, which has never happened before in history.

The time coincides with the time when the FTX exchange suspended user withdrawals.

Misappropriating client funds to make money?
4.

We found that 0xd275 transferred a large amount of $USDC to exchanges before the FTX Accounts Drainer dumping $ETH.

It seemed that he wanted to make a profit by shorting $ETH.
5.

On November 21, 0xd275 borrowed 80M $USDC from #Aave and transferred to the exchanges.

20 minutes later, FTX Accounts Drainer dumped 15,000 $ETH for renBTC.

It seems that 0xd275 went to the exchange to short $ETH.
6.

The transaction time of 0xd275 is very consistent with FTX Accounts Drainer, it seems that the same person is operating.

When 0xd275 stops trading, FTX Accounts Drainer starts trading; and when FTX Accounts Drainer stops trading, 0xd275 resumes trading.
7.

On November 12, 2 hours after the 0xd275 stopped trading, FTX Accounts Drainer began to steal assets from the FTX Exchange and sell them.

At 7:34:23, the FTX Accounts Drainer stopped selling.

And half an hour later, 0xd275 started trading.

What a coincidence!
8.

The above is just a coincidence of discovery.

It does not mean that FTX Accounts Drainer and address 0xd275 are the same person.

Just a guess.
9.

As for whether 0xd275 is the address for misappropriating FTX customer funds, exchanges such as @bitfinex, @cz_binance, @krakenfx, and @coinbase can tell us the answer.

Because 0xd275 withdrew/deposited funds on these exchanges.
10.

Who do you think the FTX Accounts Drainer could be?

CRV war was played out on #Aave yesterday and ended with the longer defeating the shorter.

1.🧵

ponzishorter.eth shorted $CRV by borrowing and dumping $CRV;

$CRV guardians bought $CRV, soaring the price to $0.72, and liquidating all collateral of ponzishorter.eth.
2.

Why did ponzishorter.eth short $CRV?

There maybe 2 reasons.

1⃣ Profit by shorting $CRV.

2⃣ Liquidate Curve.fi founder's $CRV on #Aave by shorting $CRV.
3.

ponzishorter.eth began to borrow a small amount of $CRV and sell from Nov 14, causing the price to slowly drop from $0.625 to $0.464, a drop of 26%.

If he shorts $CRV through the perpetual contract on CEX, he will make a great profit.

FTX Accounts Drainer swapped 50,000 $ETH for 3,517 $renBTC yesterday.

His exchange path is ETH → WBTC → renBTC.

So arbitrageurs can profit by exchanging renBTC for WBTC.

1.🧵

Let’s see how arbitrageurs make money from renBTC → WBTC.
2.

Fund address: 0x66b870ddf78c975af5cd8edc6de25eca81791de1

He exchanged 99.8 $renBTC for 102 $WBTC and made a profit of about 2 $BTC($32K) in only one transaction.
3.

Now he has 255 $renBTC in his wallet, waiting for FTX Accounts Drainer to sell $ETH for $renBTC again.

1/ The price of DFI.money ($YFII) dropped -53% from $4,060.70 to $1,899.87 in the last few hours.

The selling pressure mainly comes from two gaint whales.
2/
$YFII Whale: 0xa4d68627cb6360466f9a6fa6e5db267ef7850c68

Starting from Nov 11, he bought $YFII from exchanges every day, with a total of 8,488 $YFII ($18.4M), and the average price is $2,170.

Assuming he sells all $YFII at $3,000, he will get a profit of $7M.
3/

A few hours ago, the whale "0xa4d6" transferred 755 $YFII($1.5M) from #Huobi to #Binance for sale.

May because #Binance has better liquidity than #Huobi.
