that 15,427 page #GK8 document filled with #CelsiusNetwork's creditors personal detail is quite an amazing document.
i have so many questions, but let's start with:
1. Why are there an enormous numbers of creditors in countries GK8/Celsius aren't supposed to do business with?
👆These are the creditors who were serviced via first class mail. Not sure if that's because they are corporations or because they were holding a certain amount of assets on #CelsiusNetwork/#GK8 when it blowed up.
#CelsiusNetwork / #GK8 creditor corporations who were served by email, not real mail. maybe because they don't have one on file? maybe bc it's a small amount? might or might not be sus.
seems like all the bros who have been showing signs of financial distress (Huobi), signs of possibly being murdered (#TiantianKullander), or signs of both (#AmberGroup) is owed money by #Celsius.
🤔
🧵 Oh look I just spotted "Evolve Wealth Limited".
Any connection to Evolve Bank & Trust (@getevolved1925) AKA #FTX's bank with one of the more "interesting" approaches to KYC/AML compliance? (hint: they don't really do it) #FTXScam#SBF#EvolveBank@BennettTomlin@CasPiancey

There's what looks like a 2015 pitch sheet (?) from #BlockchainCapital, co-founded by epstein's pal #BrockPierce who would go on to help launch Tether (a nation state sized money laundering machine) and EOS (1 of the biggest scams in history, ~$4bn) journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/docum…

Disgraced former head of the MIT Media Lab Joi Ito seen here telling Epstein that crypto is "like the internet" but the core team is in need of a bailout, which he used "gift funds" to "win this round".
Jeffrey Epstein touched cryptocurrency in a lot of inappropriate places. #epsteinfiles #epstein #JeffreyEpstein

i found a pretty fascinating trove of documents that detail one man's long and arduous 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘧 to force #Tether to seize ~$3 million USDT that he lost to an address poisoning scam a few years back.

Asif Ayub Patel was innocently attempting to purchase $3 million worth of gold bars from Northern Lights, a precious metals dealer based in Hong Kong that prefers to be paid in Tether, as any freedom loving Dubai resident is wont to do.

Unfortunately he was careless & got pwned by an address poisoning attack: scammer sends you some crypto from an address that starts/ends w/the same characters as the address you are trying to transact with and hopes you copy/paste from recent txns w/out checking.

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.
