🚨 weth hack went unnoticed since 2019

after investigating more than 90 million deposit and withdrawal events, i've found a supply discrepancy between the total supply weth contract reports and the actual outstanding weth. it appears the contract holds 1 wei more than it owes. how is it possible?

the contract mints a token when you send ether to it. it doesn't track the token supply, using its own ether balance instead.

but there are two ways to send ether without triggering a contract.

uniswap has provided an unusual level of transparency re their frontend censoring via trm labs.

they have even shared the logs from their server.
screening-worker.uniswap.workers.dev/?namespace=BLO…

i've saved and analyzed them. Image there are seven categories which contribute to risk factors and two risk levels, high and severe.

both ownership and being a counterparty of a "bad" address are checked and can contribute to blocking. Image

It appears oasis.app, following Uniswap, has started sending all your data to TRM Labs. This is what happens when you connect with an address they don't like. No way to close positions from the UI, no explanation or anything. Image Image

Some people say 10% of illicit funds in Tornado is a lot, but let's look at the bigger picture.

Crypto overall is an order of magnitude cleaner than fiat, with just 0.15% of illicit activity whereas 3.6% is casually laundered by the big banks.

Why wokeism sucks and you shouldn't support it

A thread 🧵 Founders often don't see the woke onslaught coming. Wokies believe in the power of language, and they have successfully co-opted a lot of positive-sounding words, so someone unfamiliar with their Theory might engage in a dialogue thinking they act in a good faith.

Russian state TV just now

The text in Russian says "Stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda. You are being lied to."

The world got it backwards, if you buy Russian oil but cut off ordinary people basic needs, you literally support the regime, spark the hatred against you and give the fuel to Russian propaganda machine. "But people will protest against Putin"

No, people only care about getting food already, and they see who does this. Russia has violently suppressed any protests for many years now. Even calling for protests can land you in jail for 20 years.
