Breaking: the Dutch police just arrested someone in connection with the ZKasino scam. Over 11.4 million euros in assets were seized including cryptocurrency and a luxury car. fiod.nl/12-million-sei…
Probably the dumbest scammer I have ever seen.

🧵An explanation of what happened with the Cobie tweet, in simple terms so everyone can understand.

What are hash predictions, and why did this one go wrong? How did a single tweet cause $50m+ in liquidations? What exactly happened? (1/9)
To simplify, a SHA256 hash is a long hash that you get after running a fixed function on a certain input. Each input string has a unique SHA256 hash. Hashes can be created, but not reversed (without bruteforcing). They're one-way functions. (2/9)
What does this actually mean, though?

It essentially means you can prove that you knew something at a certain point in time without having to actually reveal what that something is. You can reveal the input string later on, and people can verify that the hash matches up (3/9)

🧵 A short thread on a few red flags that came up when doing due diligence on a potential partnership with a project that's currently being promoted on Twitter. Click through if you're interested in my thoughts - don't want to name it in the first tweet. NFA, NLA, etc. (1/12)
DecentraBet reached out for a potential partnership, and to be honest, the idea looked pretty cool. All of the projects that DM me are normally zero sum (altcoins, NFTs, etc.) or shady, so a decentralized casino seemed like a wholesome, fun project to work with. Initially. (2/12)
Of course, before advertising on Twitter, it's obviously my duty to fully understand the business model, how viable it is, and where the money is coming from - so I started looking into some of the financial details behind DecentraBet. I was left with questions. (3/12)

🧵 On-chain data reveals the covert operations of a Binance listings insider. Over the course of several months, this anonymous individual front-ran the infamous Binance listing pumps of multiple altcoins, booking a 7-figure profit. And he left a trail for us to follow... (1/9)
Our story begins with the 0xd23 wallet - an address that is freshly funded with $53,000, and immediately starts buying FXS on Uniswap. The transactions are spaced out in smaller batches to avoid slippage and detection. The small buys continue for 6 days. (2/9) Image
3 days after the insider's final FXS purchase, like magic, Binance lists FXS, resulting in a large price increase. The insider then sends all of his FXS to an exchange, booking a healthy profit at the expense of fair market traders that didn't have asymmetrical info. (3/9) Image

🧵 New blockchain data reveals the root cause of the May UST depeg. In the 3 weeks leading up to the depeg, one entity dumped over $450m of UST on the open market. 4 days after their last sale, UST started collapsing.

That entity? None other than Terraform Labs. Details inside.
This bombshell data, collated by the anonymous researcher @Cycle_22 (who discovered the Hodlnaut insolvency), reveals that TFL suddenly began furiously dumping hundreds of millions of UST only days before the depeg.
TFL has been perpetrating the narrative that UST was "attacked". This is a false flag. In reality, TFL themselves weakened the Curve pool by irresponsibly dumping a massive amount of UST in a short timeframe. This reduced liquidity and severely weakened the peg.

🧵 For ideological reasons, I would recommend staying away from KuCoin.

Recently, KuCoin has unilaterally frozen client funds at the request of TFL. The accounts these funds were in did not belong to TFL.

This sort of behaviour is simply not okay and deserves reprimand.
I have no information about KuCoin's solvency, and the issue I've described above affects a tiny minority of customers. Regardless, I am ideologically opposed to exchanges being accessories to extortion from private parties, especially malicious actors like Do Kwon.
Freezing customer funds is only in the vicinity of reasonable when it is mandated by law. Period. Freezing customer assets because someone you are in bed with asks you to is not only not okay, but is deeply worrying, and should be categorically condemned.

🧵 A verified insider has confirmed that FTX manipulated the Voyager assets auction in order to secure the winning bid. This was done to delay the recall of Voyager's loans to FTX & Alameda, which would have exposed SBF's fraudulent practices much earlier. More details below.
In September, articles citing unnamed sources were released describing CFIUS concerns with Binance's Voyager bid. Information has been shared with me indicating that these concerns were baseless, proliferated by M Group Communications, which was FTX's PR firm at the time.
Brian Brooks, scorned ex-CEO of Binance US (fired by CZ), who has been working with Reuters to generate hit pieces, is also on the Voyager board. He has coincidentally been receiving sweetheart deals with FTX, such as paid speaking gigs in the Bahamas. cryptobahamas.com/speakers/brian…
