Initial thoughts on $COIN Q1: the Q1 call was fluffed and received zero substance or insight from management. (1) total volumes were flat q/q ($145B) during Q1 crypto pump. “Other crypto assets” (i.e., shit tokens) were 45% of volume, up from 33% in Q4. $BTC and $ETH volumes were… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Lots of $ETH was staked, so being a lower % of total volume wasn’t a surprise and more $BTC volume flowed to #Binance . The ONLY reason why revenue increased was b/c shit tokens have a higher take rate vs. $BTC + $ETH. Be mindful that virtually all shit tokens are unregistered… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The DOJ's NCET (National Cryptocurrency Enforcement) division is a new team formed early '22, with Eun Young Choi serving as the inaugural Director. Her responsibilities are quite clear and casts a very wide net on authority and cooperation amongst international enforcement… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image Something tells me the NCET team is spearheading the reopening of the bank fraud investigation on #Tether for suspicion of leveraging the US banking system to launder money (hint hint $SBNY).

How much were you paid to write this? Ignoring so many realities: (1) $COIN went public as a money transmitter and illegally operates an exchange, broker dealer, and clearinghouse. They also run a hedge fund now post-One River acquisition. Smell any conflicts of interest? (2) ~50% of trading volume is attributed to securities coins/tokens that are either unregistered securities and/or frauds. (3) you have a tone deaf CEO who publicly taunts the SEC and sues them. Suing a regulator never ends well, so good luck with that.

IMHO, the FDIC’s Supervision Report on $SBNY doesn’t justifiably outline the excessive number of money laundering transactions that occurred via Signet. #Tether and #Binance were some of the largest transactors of the “blockchain” and violated BSA/AML/KYC laws in the process. Despite the lack of detail relating to money laundering transactions made via Signet, the FDIC did recognize that $SBNY had poor internal controls and insufficient BSA/AML/KYC processes in place.

$SBNY is violating major AML/KYC laws. Signet has the same dirty laundry as $SI 's SEN. As everyone, should know, the SEC (suck everyone's cock) are reactive, not proactive. They're the coroners, not the detectives. We need the DOJ and DA's office in here for some carnage... So, don't count on an immediate repricing in $SBNY 's shares. However, what could accelerate the bloodshed is if non-crypto customers used their fucking brains and pulled deposits, forcing a bank run. This is important because ~90% of $SBNY 's DEPOSITS ARE NON-FDIC INSURED
