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?
Corporate entities in the #CelsiusNetwork / #GK8 / #GK8Limited bankruptcy, pt. II. Noticed:

➤ Ernst & Young (maybe?)
#KPMG (#Wirecard's dad)
@TheBlock__ ("journalism")

@AABerwick @kadhim @Frances_Coppola
👆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.
Debtors + last 4 of EIN/TIN:

➤Celsius Network LLC (2148)
➤Celsius KeyFi LLC (4414)
➤Celsius Lending LLC (8417)
➤Celsius Mining LLC (1387)
➤Celsius Network Inc. (1219)
➤Celsius Network Limited (0143)
➤Celsius Networks Lending LLC (3390)
➤Celsius US Holding LLC (7956)
EIN/TIN/Tax ID numbers for:

#Gk8Ltd. (note the period)
#Gk8UKLimited
#GK8USALLC
#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.

#AlgoTraderAG
#Amdex (isn't this also a custody biz)
#IsraelInnovationAuthority
#CelsiusNetwork/#GK8 creditors, continued: #MatteoZhou seems like a really, really popular name in Italy. Also impressed that they manage to pack so many Matteo Zhous into just 3-5 buildings. small guys or big houses I guess.
@DanielFCelsius @ahcastor @bitfinexed @MikeBurgersburg
🧵#CeliusNetwork/#GK8 creditors list, back to Question 1 about sanctions violations... I counted some addresses and was kinda 😱:

➤ 1,459 RUSSIAN FEDERATION
➤ 897 UNITED KINGDOM
➤ 284 SINGAPORE
➤ 150¹ ISRAEL
➤ 90¹ CHINA
➤ 42 SAUDI ARABIA
➤ 26 MALTA

¹ (ish)
🧵If we filter the LIMITEDs we can strip out individuals and find a couple more interesting #Celsius/#GK8 creditors:

#Tether (twice)
#TiantianKullander (@ambergroup_io's dead CEO)
#Invictus (@Invcryptogroup - defi rug?)
#BabelHoldings (@BabelFinance?)
@ambergroup_io @invcryptogroup @BabelFinance 🧵Other #CelsiusNetwork/#Celsius/#GK8 creditors I just spotted:

#Huobi (explains a lot)
@Auros_global (bankrupt #DeFi w/links to @maplefinance)
#Matrixport (major Asian #CeFi who suddenly don't honor $USDT on #Tron chain)
🧵#Huobi, #Matrixport, @Auros_Global, #Tether, @FalconXNetwork, @TheBlock__...

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

is saylor trying to bail out the entire bitcoin market? $MSTR @crypto1nfern0
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...
3/ it's probably nothing but... $42 billion is a kind of oddly specific number for Saylor Moon to throw out

1/ anyone heard of #ChipperCash, an #FTX funded african fintech that had at one point almost $700 million deposited at Silicon Valley Bank? the funds were split up across like 10 accounts so the name didn't come up when $SVB's top depositors were a hot topic... Image
Image
Image

2/ Funds were in accounts labeled as "Deciens Chipper Cash SPV" 1-N. based on the total amount roughly matching the below tweet it seems like those funds somehow came from #Nigeria's government?
3/ Which in turn makes me wonder if this is stolen Nigerian oil money being laundered through SVB @mikulaja have you heard of this apparently kind of large fintech company?

A thread about the recent connection of what WSJ calls “the shadow dollar that’s fueling the financial underworld” and the Trump campaign (basically a 🧵 version of my pinned tweet).

Ω👇Ω
🧵2/Ω
Some background: there’s a NYC based financial firm called Cantor Fitzgerald whose CEO is a man named Howard Lutnick. Lutnick became somewhat infamous in the aftermath of 9/11 for cutting off payments to the many Cantor employees who died in the World Trade Center. Image
🧵3/Ω
Lutnick has two roles that matter for the purposes of this 🧵. The first is he was recently made the co-chair of the Trump transition team, meaning if Trump wins Lutnick will be choosing who will run things like the Dept. of Justice, Defense, etc.

maybe nothing but interesting the total value of Tether's repo assets for 2023-Q4 is only 2% less than the collateralized assets listed on #CantorFitzgerald's 2023 filing

2/ maybe more likely to be nothing but Tether's infamous "Secured Loans" number is only 3% less than the "Securities purchased under agreements to resell" on the #CantorFitzgerald balance sheet

Just read #Chainalysis "2024 Crypto Crime Mid-Year Report". Obvs they have a habit of minimizing crypto crime stats but reading closely I realized this is kinda nuts. So nuts I that we need new rhyme akin to "pump & dump" vein. I give you:

"Minimize & Legitimize"

Ω👇Ω Image
🧵2/Ω
The report has two parts. I focused on the 2nd half because it makes a big deal about CSAM. Surprisingly to me it seemed like Chainalysis was for once maybe not downplaying something really bad...

But then I started checking the numbers.

(Report: )chainalysis.com/blog/2024-cryp…
🧵3/Ω
Below is the tweet I dashed off as did a quick scan. CSAM is bad. If CSAM number go up = really bad. Looked like Chainalysis was admitting bad number go up!

Which, speaking as someone who's checked their work on terrorism financing, was surprising.
