If those tags are correct¹ that begs a few questions:
a) Why are there BTC chain reserves on the eth chain?
b) Whose BTC is backed by $USDT
¹ (def not a given)

His Excellency's supposed "chain swap" of $400mm eth backed $USDT to Tron because ??? shows up in the data as a $400mm increase in the size of Tether's treasury wallet.

Since #Israel attacked #Iran Tether has frozen 112 addresses on Tron and Ethereum.
- Collectively those wallets received ~$700 million USDT before being frozen
- The top 40 of those wallets are *all* on Justin Sun's Tron blockchain
Iranian exchanges mostly use Tron USDT.

#Nobitex, the largest crypto exchange in Iran (which is basically a Binance feeder fund, but I digress), openly advises its users on how to avoid sanctions via Tether USDT even though that is a blatant violation of all kinds of laws.

it really looks like a few days before the $TRUMP launch someone borrowed all $ETH from #WorldLibertyFi treasury, sent it to a bunch of different Coinbase accounts (sus?), and then it came back from #CowSwap trades post-TrumpCoin w/e.
and if you think i'm exaggerating you haven't been paying attention. the taxpayer bailout of the crypto industry is already well underway. wpr.org/news/wisconsin…
they've already drafted the federal legislation to pump most of a trillion dollars into bitcoin under the delusional fairy tale of "paying down the national debt" (lol) lummis.senate.gov/press-releases…

Thread for those who don't have the intestinal fortitude to sit through the Elmo / Rogan interview.
🧵2/Ω
Both these guys seem to regard the FBI asking (not forcing) "old Twitter" to take down some tweets as a crime against humanity roughly on the scale of the Stalin's gulags.
Rogan: "We were headed down a path of censorship and of control of narratives that is UNPRECEDENTED."

The comparison to Stalin is not my hyperbole. Later in the interview Elmo will compare NY DA Alvin Bragg to Lavrenti Beria, the head of Stalin's secret police and one of history's greatest monsters.

🇸🇻 Making a thread to collect some recent scattershot tweets concerning documents I dug up about El Salvador, Bukele, Volcano Bonds, Tether, etc. in one place.
i find it at least curious that this announcement of such a massive capital raise came just a few days after we got confirmation that the Treasury Dept is considering freezing Tether's assets and the DOJ is investigating them...
