Surely it's just a coincidence that $2 billion worth of #Tether was printed at what was probably the exact same hour on the same day the US government moved to dump $212 million in Bitcoin onto the market at #Coinbase and half of that was $USDT accepted in $COIN's market?
🧵5/Ω @jNi9a & @DylanPanov pointed out the govt's avg price was $21.8k, which is much lower than the price was at any time after 2 days before the govt said it made the sale. So either:
a. Govt sold earlier and misstated in court filing
b. Govt did some kind of OTC deal

It's pretty reasonable to suspect the govt started earlier, say around March 3rd or 9th 👇... though if that had happened I would expect the court filings to say that the govt "completed the sale" and not "sold".

After all it's not like these were the only billions of $USDT printed by #Tether in March 2023...
🚨 #CryptoCom is who $MCB is banking fren... All that USD flowing into and out of the American banking system seems to pass through them. And they are STILL banking #CryptoCom according to #CDC's own site.
1. You can't withdraw crypto. 2. Or use ACH payments. 3. Or a debit card. 4. Also our #ApplePay just got terminated 5. Wire transfer is green but wires only work during business hours aka "not right now"
Happy trading all you cute #Binancians! Let's post some fun memes about how all our money is gone forever!
Just to clarify it's only *some* crypto they admit you can't trade: $BUSD.
Also all of this is just temporary. I'm sure #BinanceUS will find a new banking partner "soon". After all it's only taken #Binance what, 70 days to find one?
$MCB sends out hail mary press release about their strong financial position as of yesterday (morning or afternoon? Funny you don't say...) at the end of a day their stock crashed almost 30%.
🧵 just to thread up this incredibly astute observation by @SEC_digger about which numbers $MCB chose not to update from where they were on Dec. 31st, 2022:

It's interesting to look at what #CFTC is asking the court for in the #Binance complaint:
1. Stop all trading immediately 2. Give us all the money 3. Actually give us more than all the money 4. Including salaries of all executives (lol @prhillman) 5. Jury trial
@prhillman 6. No one associated with #Binance in any form should ever be allowed to trade commodities, futures, or other derivatives in the American market ever again ("permanent injunction")
* small correction: @PRHillmann is Binance US's CSO not CEO
🧐 @FDICGov's press release makes it sound like First Citizens Bank took all the loans that #SiliconValleyBank had on its books.
But... it did not.
$90 billion in toxic loans were left behind.
Cost to taxpayers currently estimated at $20bn but it will rise.
@FDICgov 🧵 Much of what is being written about #SVB is just as wrong as what's being printed right now about Citizens Bank "buying Silicon Valley Bank".
To be clear: $SIVB had $90 billion in loans so toxic no one would buy them.

Couple weeks ago #Binance stopped letting anyone post to r/binance on @Reddit and said they would limit comments to the "Daily Discussion" threads. (Conveniently that meant no one can see what mods deleted on #reveddit.)
@Reddit 🧵 Also because #Binance's fans on Reddit are so numerous and lucky there have always mysteriously been exactly 888k #Binancians subscribed to r/Binance on Reddit.
Now for some reason there are 889k...

I made a thread last month about the kind of threads the mods of r/Binance were deleting.
This is the kind of information the switch to "Daily Discussion" threads gets rid of.
