Trump Media (AKA "#TruthSocial") signs agreement to partner with #CryptoDotCom and launch ETFs.

(note that i'm having a bit of trouble confirming this, though I don't doubt it at all.)

I'm reminded of a tweet by #Tether CEO #PaoloArdoino a few years ago attacking #CryptoCom as being out of money and about to collapse, but either way CDC used to be and probably still is part of the Tether cartel with #JustinSun etc.

More on Crypto.com's financial woes a few years ago: cryptadamus.substack.com/p/cry

Trump cabinet member #HowardLutnick's¹ $135 billion crypto-bank-for-criminals #Tether has two options:

1. submit to an audit like any normal financial firm

2. lose the entire EU customer base, representing a pct of global GDP comparable to the US or China

the fact that they chose #2 tells you everything you need to know about tether.

notice also that #Kraken and #CryptoCom are delisting #Paypal's #stablecoin #PYUSD... wonder what that's about.

¹ It was widely reported that Lutnick's firm #CantorFitzgerald, which manages Tether's assets, had taken a 5% stake in the co. but during his confirmation hearing he said there was only a "convertible bond", which is what the kids call "sus".

Continued thread

also i'm going to brag that i predicted exactly this situation with #SAITAMA market manipulation well over a year ago before these criminal indictments based solely on "on chain" activity.

i'm simultaneously very pleased with myself and completely dismayed that none of the "chain analytics" companies ever flagged such an obvious fraud.

Maybe more importantly #SHIB is a token that comes out of the #CryptoCom world... you know the chinese mafia adjacent company who bought the naming rights to the #LosAngeles stadium.

#InfluencerGate:

oh look the russian agents trying to influence the election are using #cryptocurrency (this is my not-shocked-at-all face)

also popular YouTube influencers Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, #LaurenChen, and one of Benny Johnson/Dave Rubin "unknowingly" agreed to work for Russia for large sums of money ($100,000 per youtube video or a few million/year): x.com/ariehkovler/status/18314

in particular the russian agents seem to have moved money through #Lithuania and used #BitPay to buy domains. i wrote a bunch about the Lithuanian central bank's attempts to shut down Russian money last year; it's here (an US company Crypto[.]com is involved): cryptadamus.substack.com/p/cry

taking bets on whether Virtual Currency Exchange 1 ("VCE-1") is #Binance or #CryptoCom

🚨Ω🚨
Looks like #CryptoCom's Canadian bank accounts have been possibly frozen or seized. This comes on the heels of their € bank accounts being frozen on January 20th.

It also seems like #CryptoCom sent around $1 billion of its customers' crypto... somewhere. And then got it back again a day later, which is eerily similar to that time in October when they sent $400 million to #GateIO "by mistake" within 48 hours of the time GateIO pretended to get an audit.

I made a long thread on The Privatized Public Square: twitter.com/Cryptadamist/statu

ps reminder that #CryptoCom, #Tether, & #Binance are basically the same company...

Bloomberg just published an article about #TransactiveSystemsUAB, AKA "#Nexo and #CryptoCom's European banking partner." The thing I published an article about last week (see my profile). Turns out it was founded by convicted money launderers who hired other convicted money launderers to run it. Coupled with the fact that #BankOfLithuania accused the company of massive money laundering it makes you wonder if perhaps people launder money there.

They were #Nexo's bank. And they are also #CryptoCom's bank. This is where #CryptoCom customers' euros were being sent (and are probably stuck right now, if they weren't already stolen).

🚨🚨Today's The Day🚨🚨

#Binance announced on January 20th that starting today (February 1st) Binance will no longer be able to process SWIFT transfers in or out under $100,000 USD unless it could find another American bank willing to work with it.

Needless to say they were unable to find one.

#Binance has told its users that the #P2P marketplace is working should they want to cash out to #fiat but unfortunately when you do a P2P transaction and the other side fails to send the money you are SOL because hey, it's peer to peer. #Binance isn't even party to the trade (somehow, even though they manage the P2P marketplace...)

Already seeing the consequences of this on r/binance.

🚨📜🚨 #TheCryptocalpyseChronicles presents:

Are Crypto.com and Binance's European Assets Frozen In Banking Space-Time?

Are customers ever going to see that money again or is all that money about to be ejected from the airlock of the Starship International Banking System into the frozen silence of the interplanetary void?

A timeline of recent disastrous events in the history of the money that belongs to customers of #Binance and #Cryptocom but that is probably already seized by the government and/or stolen by #Putin to aid Russian money laundering.

Retoot for great justice!

This is why #Cryptcom suddenly made an emergency transition from #TransactiveSystemsUab (their Lithuanian banking partner for euro denominated funds) to #OpenPayd for their #SEPA (#Euro) bank transfers.

"The Bank of Lithuania, having carried out an inspection of the Prd electronic money institution Transactive Systems UAB, identified significant violations and shortcomings of the Law on the Prevention of #MoneyLaundering and #TerroristFinancing"

It seems like all #Cryptocom's European users assets are probably now frozen in inside the bank. Oh and just a few hours ago they were frozen out of #GBP transfers as well.

Fun times.

(Also remember this happened the same day #Binance announced they would no longer processing any SWIFT transfers as of February 1st - in 5 days.)

@dickon #Cryptocom survived its bank run, though I'm pretty sure it's because #Binance bailed them out. that's what the chain data seems to indicate, and the fact that #CZ started yelling at the CEO of Crypto.com shortly thereafter for blowing so much money naming the Los Angeles stadium after himself kind of lends credence to that interpretation.

#Tether bros (who are part of the #CryptoCartel w/Binance) jumped on CEO #KrisMarszalek soon thereafter.

#Binance's and #cryptocom's auditor removes their proof of reserves audit from their site, this is a troubling development, as it means their reserves may not be over collateralized as they claimed before.

Remember folk don't hold your #crypto on exchanges, they are for exchanging not holding.
