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.

Inside one of those incoming CowSwap txns shows a huge swap involving 35 transfers in one txn, swapping around tends of millions of dollars of ETH, WETH, USDT, and USDC.

WuBlockchain is publishing discussions between Chinese memcoin traders that talk explicitly about how it couldn't be #JustinSun and instead must be American traders behind the pump and dump. Feels like disinfo tbh.

given that the hypothesis is $WLFI's ETH sold on coinbase for USDC on solana to seed the #Meteora and #Raydium liquidity pools it's worth noting that an incredible amount of USDC on solana was minted at exactly that time.
and if you think i'm exaggerating you haven't been paying attention. the taxpayer bailout of the crypto industry is already well underway. wpr.org/news/wisconsin…
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) lummis.senate.gov/press-releases…

Thread for those who don't have the intestinal fortitude to sit through the Elmo / Rogan interview.
🧵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."

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.
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...
1/ anyone heard of #ChipperCash, an #FTX funded african fintech that had at one point almost $700 million deposited at Silicon Valley Bank? the funds were split up across like 10 accounts so the name didn't come up when $SVB's top depositors were a hot topic...
2/ Funds were in accounts labeled as "Deciens Chipper Cash SPV" 1-N. based on the total amount roughly matching the below tweet it seems like those funds somehow came from #Nigeria's government?
3/ Which in turn makes me wonder if this is stolen Nigerian oil money being laundered through SVB @mikulaja have you heard of this apparently kind of large fintech company?

A thread about the recent connection of what WSJ calls “the shadow dollar that’s fueling the financial underworld” and the Trump campaign (basically a 🧵 version of my pinned tweet).

Some background: there’s a NYC based financial firm called Cantor Fitzgerald whose CEO is a man named Howard Lutnick. Lutnick became somewhat infamous in the aftermath of 9/11 for cutting off payments to the many Cantor employees who died in the World Trade Center.
🧵3/Ω
Lutnick has two roles that matter for the purposes of this 🧵. The first is he was recently made the co-chair of the Trump transition team, meaning if Trump wins Lutnick will be choosing who will run things like the Dept. of Justice, Defense, etc. thehill.com/homenews/campa…

I have videos of these screenshots but the frame rate is broken and i'm too lazy to correct it right now, but Uzbekistan's #Agrobank hired Brock Pierce's favorite lobbyist and went to meet Ted Cruz and went to the White House:
