why is Wacky Cathie's "big ideas" presentation on bitcoin lying about #Binance & #CryptoCom's proof of reserves?

- the #CryptoCom one literally redacted all the numbers. #notajoke

- both those pieces of paper were *immediately* retracted by the auditors

🧵 this is #CryptoCom's "proof of reserves" that Wacky Cathie's ARK website claims was done in 2022 👇. it existed in public for 5 days before the auditor Mazars was like "just kidding!" and deleted that entire part of the website. $ARKK $ARKW $ARKF $ARKG
🧵 maybe @SECGov @SECEnfDirector @SEC_Enforcement @NYDFS should look at what $ARKF is doing here. this is all easily verified. $ARKK is straight up lying to investors about whether these "proof of reserves exist" a) exist or b) prove anything. Call Mazars.
🧵 Here's the recording of ARK Invest's #YassineElmandjra straight up lying (and in an extremely material, relevant way) to investors in $ARKF, $ARKK, and $ARKG:
🧵 first i thought Wacky Cathie was dumb. then i thought she was a great salesperson pulling one over on the rubes. but after seeing this i kind of think she might just be a criminal. there's no excuse for lying like this. it was widely publicized that these docs were retracted.

just a hunch - no evidence yet - but i suspect #PrimeTrust just got seized or shut down by the FBI Image
"PT holds bank account" means "Prime Trust holds bank account"
$TUSD is also the main stablecoin for trading on #Binance these days, ever since Tether was deprecated as the "no fee" trading option... and now you can't mint it

"While our client cash balances declined modestly due to seasonality and cash sorting in February, over the past two weeks, we have attracted over $1.3 billion in additional bank deposits, including an increase in uninsured deposits" $SF Image

Commercial Real Estategeddon is picking up speed...
"The lender, an unnamed debt fund, originated a $700M mortgage and a $188M credit facility"

looked into who was the lending bank and turns out the loan came from an unnamed "shadow bank"...
mondayre.com/news/monday-pr…
it gets better:

➤ "this group is as sophisticated as they come"
any guesses? Blackrock? Pimco? Blackstone?

➤ "the lender likely will securitize the senior portion and retain the rest"
so this shadowy lender will take a 100% loss before the security holders take any. Image

#Tether's claims of $1.5 bn profit in 2023-Q1 means they must be investment geniuses.

Assume that every asset category is as they claim it was on 2023-03-31: $68.8 bn investments, $480 mm cash). If the cash equivs are 100% short dated t-bils their income would be $1.15 bn Image
🧵2/Ω
This is even if you assume they rushed out and bought $14 bn worth of treasuries on the first day of the quarter to get them from $39bn to $53bn, which they didn't. They didn't even have $68bn TOTAL at the start of the quarter. Image
🧵3/Ω
In fact at the start of the quarter (and for much of the rest of it) they had closer to $50bn in interest earning securities.

Meaning in the real world, they should have earned around $1 billion. Image

🚨❓🚨
Can someone please tell me why #Tether is "doubling down its focus on limiting its reliance on pure bank deposits as a source of liquidity"?

Because that sounds like a thing you do when you're having banking issues...

🧵 Given that it has long been rumored that Tether is somehow managing to count Circle's USDC reserves as its own reserves by some kind of transitive property I found it very striking that Tether's announcement came right after Circle's & w/same language.

🧵 Something else I just noticed about #Tether's numbers... (h/t @sasadjak72):
