#BankOfLithuania has published its inspection and review targets for 2023. Guess who's targeted at the very top of the list?

@RevolutApp and @Swedbank, for money laundering and terrorist financing.
🚨🧵2/Ω
Guess who's at the top of the "Electronic money and payment institutions"? #Contis.

What does #Contis do?

They are the issuer of the #Binance Visa card.

#GuruPay, #PhoenixPayments, @RebellionPay also make appearances.
🚨🧵3/Ω
On the 3rd page I was surprised to see that a company named #Silvergate appears. #UABSilvergateLT, specifically. Any relation to $SI?

There's also #MajesticFinancial and #Maneuver.

The full list of targeted investigations the #BankOfLithuania plans this year can be found here: lb.lt/uploads/docume…

If you're wondering why Vilnius, long a haven for criminal finance in the EU, suddenly got all serious about regulations 👇

#Binance announcing increasingly dire issues w/its fiat on and off ramps.

#CryptoCom's Euro bank accounts were frozen or seized by #BankOfLithuania on 1/21 for money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions violations (screenshot)

Let's dig...

Ω👇Ω ImageImage
🧵2/Ω
Recently users of #CryptoCom were surprised to receive an email saying that #SEPA transfers of $EUR were being “migrated to a new provider” and thus Euro-denominated deposits and withdrawals were temporarily suspended.

Yikes.

#Cryptocom customers couldn't deposit/withdraw for ~100 hours yet #CDC did not send any kind of prior notice to their customers. Many redditors confirm problems began > 24 hours BEFORE #CDC sent out the first (and only) email about the disruption.

Some got 0 emails.

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")

does anyone find it kind of... 𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆... that at any point in time there was more or less the exact same amount of #Tether on #Ethereum as on #JustinSun's #TRON?

it's almost as if #Tether was minting 2 $USDT for each $1 in #USD backing, one on each chain...

Ω👇Ω
🚨🧵2/Ω
I mean I guess we shouldn't really worry about it given that almost 100% of the $USDT on the #Tron blockchain was created for use by #SBF on his exchange #FTX. The #FTXScam is basically an honest exchange run by honest folks, right? #FTXScam

Internet sleuths have been able to locate roughly half of the cash that backs $USDT. Surely any day now someone will stumble on all those tens of billions of dollars worth of "treasuries" that were formerly called "commercial paper"... (h/trick @DataFinnovation)

#Tether unblacklisted two wallet addresses on the ethereum chain yesterday:

※:etherscan.io/address/0x9f1c…
※:etherscan.io/address/0xdec1…
🧵2/Ω 0x9f1c87c3224dca911f6412fba5865c30647bddb1 proceeded to move only a small amount of $USDT...

but also made invalid calls to the $USDT contract...

#0xdec1bcaa046feb7343cb7292bb1193fa2d4fd68e doesn't seem to have done much of anything.

WTF is going on?

It should surprise no one that @Bullish, an offshore exchange backed by the #EOS scammers at Block.One, uses $SI for banking.
🧵2/Ω
Nor would it surprise anyone to know that as of Nov. 24th a little over 1/6th of $SI (16.73%) was owned by #B1 CEO #BrendanBlumer and @B1 itself.

The #EOS situation is complicated but suffice it to say it is dodgy even by crypto standards. Bros cashed out $4bn selling a coin to retail in an ICO and then never delivered the product. Got fined only ~$24mm by #SEC... good take, right?

@EOS even admits it's a failure.

News today about $SI mentioned layoff of Chief Credit Officer but didn't mention that position was for many years filled by the co-founder of the bank. #DerekEisele also seems to have wiped his social media

cc @AureliusValue @AlderLaneEggs though the shadows may not let you see. ImageImageImage
Founders do not get pushed out lightly, so if the San Diego Tribune is right this is a big deal. #DerekEisele still appears on the $SI website as the Chief Credit Officer.

p.s. #DerekEisele is also on the board of @uofsandiego business school, @usd_business...
