🧵2/Ω
🇸🇻 Not only does LaGeo S.V. use the same auditor as Tether, it's also the geothermal power company named in Bukele's volcano bonds plan

i found a pretty fascinating trove of documents that detail one man's long and arduous 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘧 to force #Tether to seize ~$3 million USDT that he lost to an address poisoning scam a few years back. Image
🧵2/Ω
Asif Ayub Patel was innocently attempting to purchase $3 million worth of gold bars from Northern Lights, a precious metals dealer based in Hong Kong that prefers to be paid in Tether, as any freedom loving Dubai resident is wont to do.

Unfortunately he was careless & got pwned by an address poisoning attack: scammer sends you some crypto from an address that starts/ends w/the same characters as the address you are trying to transact with and hopes you copy/paste from recent txns w/out checking. Image

Since #Israel attacked #Iran Tether has frozen 112 addresses on Tron and Ethereum.

- Collectively those wallets received ~$700 million USDT before being frozen
- The top 40 of those wallets are *all* on Justin Sun's Tron blockchain

Iranian exchanges mostly use Tron USDT. Image

Dune dashboard with all the historical Tether blacklist data for those two blockchains can be found here:

#Nobitex, the largest crypto exchange in Iran (which is basically a Binance feeder fund, but I digress), openly advises its users on how to avoid sanctions via Tether USDT even though that is a blatant violation of all kinds of laws.

apparently Trump's #WorldLibertyFi wallet had a sudden huge drop off in its token holdings exactly as $TRUMP and #MELANIA were launched...

...and then right after $TRUMP weekend it suddenly had $400mm in assets despite selling <$200mm in $WLFI to JustinSun etc. Image
🧿2/Ω
full $WLFI dashboard from @seoulcalibureth:

it really looks like a few days before the $TRUMP launch someone borrowed all $ETH from #WorldLibertyFi treasury, sent it to a bunch of different Coinbase accounts (sus?), and then it came back from #CowSwap trades post-TrumpCoin w/e.

also at least one peel chain. Image

they're going to transfer incredible amounts of taxpayer money into the hands of crypto bros. that's what this has always been about.
and if you think i'm exaggerating you haven't been paying attention. the taxpayer bailout of the crypto industry is already well underway.

they've already drafted the federal legislation to pump most of a trillion dollars into bitcoin under the delusional fairy tale of "paying down the national debt" (lol)

Thread for those who don't have the intestinal fortitude to sit through the Elmo / Rogan interview. Image
🧵2/Ω
Both these guys seem to regard the FBI asking (not forcing) "old Twitter" to take down some tweets as a crime against humanity roughly on the scale of the Stalin's gulags.

Rogan: "We were headed down a path of censorship and of control of narratives that is UNPRECEDENTED."
🧵3/Ω
The comparison to Stalin is not my hyperbole. Later in the interview Elmo will compare NY DA Alvin Bragg to Lavrenti Beria, the head of Stalin's secret police and one of history's greatest monsters. Image

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
