Bros filing for ETFs to trade the exact same market #JustinSun was indicted by the #SEC for manipulating last year.

#TRX is the “gas” on Justin Sun’s #Tron blockchain, which exists primarily to allow the movement of #Tether's #USDT token on a blockchain that is less scrutinized than ethereum. Roughly half of Tether’s ~$140 billion market cap lives on Tron and that’s the blockchain preferred by drug cartels, #pigbutchering fraudsters, and #sanctions evaders, which is why a lot of people call it “the crime chain”.

Nothing else of substance has ever happened on the Tron blockchain. For more on Tether see my post linked below.

A fake comic panel for my worldbuilding project. Our protagonist deer is standing in front of one of the tethers stretching all the way into space. Interesting challenge drawing a change in perspective within one panel, but I like the result. 

Also I have run out of finished art for buffering the upload, so there maybe won’t be an upload next week. We’ll see.

Wer mehr über #Lugano, #PlanB und #Tether wissen will: Letztes Jahr hat @toms in der @republik_magazin über die Eigenschaften der "Kryptowährung" #LVGA, die inzwischen dementierten Beziehungen von Lugano zu Bitcoin-Maximalisten (aber in Pressefotos dokumentiert) und die Verflechtungen nach El Salvador und Russland berichtet.

Lugano. Der Name erweckt Gedanken an sonnige, elegante Entspannung im Süden.

Doch Lugano hat auch eine Vergangenheit als Geldwäscheparadies. Früher™.

Heute ist Lugano seriös geworden. Und dochnlässt sie sich vom umstrittenen Stablecoin Tether aushalten und gibt ihm im Gegenzug Legitimität. Und gibt dem Tether-Chef auch eine Heimat. In dieser Heimat auch sein rein «privates» Büro …

Die @woz blickt hinter die Kulissen der Luganeser Piazza.

Reminder that a contingent of America's finest MAGA conspiracy theorists flew to El Salvador to celebrate Nayib Bukele's victory over his country's constitutional term limits in June of 2024.

* Donald Trump, Jr.
* Tucker Carlson
* Matt Gaetz (R-Florida)
* Mike Lee (R-Utah)

This was the moment people like me who were aware of the Bukele regime's crypto corruption started getting worried about American Republicans' newfound admiration of Salvadoran #fascism.

I’ve been talking about the connections between the #Netanyahu family and some of the sketchiest characters in the crypto industry (esp. #Tether co-founder #BrockPierce) for years so I was glad to see #UdiLevy, the former head of #Mossad's economic unit #Tzalsel, starting to ask the same questions of #Qatargate.

Among other things Netanyahu's niece is a part owner of #Bancor, a defi lending platform that imploded in 2022 in hilarious fashion.

Re: #AryehDeri, the man who triggered the mass protests in Israel in 2023, Deri was seen at the groundbreaking for #BrixSoftware, major vendor for #CrossRiverBank, the single largest purveyor of covid relief fraud in the US. CRB received massive investment from #MarcAndreessen's #a16z, both before and after a massive “investment” from a Malaysian police chief who somehow had hundreds of millions of dollars to invest after he “investigated” the #1MDB fraud.

-No one has examined the entire economic empire built by the Netanyahu family, and the sources of their money. As with any criminal organization, the money trail must be traced. No one has examined the role of Amaziah Ben-Artzi (Sara Netanyahu's brother), who is one of the world's greatest experts in building financial platforms and cryptocurrencies. No one has examined the connection to Brooke Pierce - the same man with whom Yair Netanyahu spends hours and days in Puerto Rico, and what the role of Simon Falk is. What does Yair Netanyahu (the one pulling the strings) live on? Where does all the capital come from? Where does he pay income tax? There's a lot of information here that points to the sources of the funds, the money accounts, and also the crypto accounts. No one is checking this. Why?

Apparently the #Houthis have been using #Tether's USDT stablecoin to do [whatever], because #OFAC just placed sanctions on a bunch of USDT wallets on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain that they claim are connected to the Houthis.

Reminder that Justin Sun is Donald Trump's business partner in #WorldLibertyFinancial and #HowardLutnick manages Tether's money, so now you have a situation where Trump & co. are profiting from the same people they are bombing.

The following changes have been made to OFAC's SDN List: ANSARALLAH (a.k.a. ANSAR ALLAH; a.k.a. ANSARULLAH; a.k.a. "HOUTHI GROUP"; a.k.a. "PARTISANS OF GOD"; a.k.a.

sometimes when you're ESL you don't understand the subtle negative connotations of being called a "barker" and instead choose to understand it as a "navigator"

(ICYMI #JustinSun is an "advisor" to Trump's 2nd crypto scam #WorldLibertyFinancial, as well as a major player in #Tether and a million other frauds)

(also the "Forbes cover as indicator of financial crime" pipeline remains undefeated)

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.

#MoneyLaundering with #cryptocurrency in #Cambodia

"Every few weeks, fireworks light up the night sky in Cambodia, set off by scammers to salute their biggest swindles.

"By the time the shells pop and crackle, somebody’s life savings are probably gone. Maybe the victim fell for an online romance scam or bought into a fake cryptocurrency exchange. Whatever the scheme, the money has vanished, sucked into a complex money-laundering network that moves billions of dollars at a dizzying speed."

lawsuit filed by #CelsiusNetwork creditors against scamalytics firm - sorry i mean "blockchain analytics company" - #Chainalysis for aiding and abetting the Celsius Network fraud.

Chainalysis is the company that the government hires to track down crypto fraud but they are hopelessly compromised / in cahoots with firms like #Tether.

* complaint: cases.stretto.com/public/x191/
* long thread by me about Chainalysis's dodgy numbers: threadreaderapp.com/thread/182

NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This adversary proceeding is about how Chainalysis knowingly and willfully fueled one of the biggest cons in cryptocurrency history, deceiving customers, propping up a sham company, and accelerating Celsius’s catastrophic collapse. 2. Celsius, founded by Alexander Mashinsky (“Mashinsky”), was a cryptocurrency company marketed as a revolutionary alternative to traditional finance and promised unprecedented benefits to its customers. But behind the scenes, it was a house of cards built on lies. 3. When empty promises were insufficient to sustain growth, Mashinsky and other Celsius insiders (together, “Insiders”) orchestrated a scheme to inflate Celsius’s assets under management (“AUM”) to create the illusion of financial stability, drive up demand for Celsius’s native cryptocurrency (the CEL token), and secretly offload their personal holdings of CEL at sky- high prices, draining company funds in the process.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: El Salvador's Gulag Cryptopelago (new, spicier title)

#ElSalvador's in the news a lot right now because the Trump administration shipped a few hundred people off to that country's incredibly dangerous new mega prison, #CECOT.

What seems to have gone unnoticed in all the reporting, however, is Salvadoran dictator #NayibBukele's outsized role in the world of cryptocurrency and through that his direct connections to the Trump administration via Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick and #Tether.

Retoots appreciated.

Realized I had forgotten my favorite #Bukele / #Tether factoid when I published my piece on #ElSalvador yesterday, so I added a short bit about the time Tether claimed to have launched a bitcoin mining operation in El Salvador and as proof posted obviously photoshopped images of shipping containers with the Tether logo on them.

Foreign journalists who attempted to actually see the mining rigs were forcibly removed from the area having never seen an actual computer.

You'd think a country America whose mega prisons Trump is now sending venezuelans (and soon other groups) to die in without due process would at least have a better photoshop team.

According to a report from Dune Analytics #stablecoin activity "on chain" is now more than double that of Visa... and yet it's almost entirely #moneylaundering and speculating on things like FartCoin.

#Tether volume on #JustinSun's blockchain #Tron accounts for almost half of the entire total... and that's pretty much just all money laundering and crime. Recall that Tether's reserves are managed by American Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick and he owns a stake in the company.

* Report: legacy.www.documentcloud.org/d

As of February 2025, the total stablecoin supply has reached $214 billion, with $35 trillion in transfer volume over the past year. These figures underscore stablecoins’ expanding role in payments, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi). More notably, institutional adoption is accelerating, with asset managers, payment providers, and financial institutions increasingly exploring stablecoin integration. Despite their rapid growth, stablecoins remain small compared to traditional fiat liquidity. The U.S. M1 money supply stood at $18.4 trillion in January 2025, while the Euro M1 supply was €10.6 trillion, making the stablecoin supply roughly 100 times smaller than the U.S. M1 money supply. However, in transaction volume, stablecoins have already surpassed major payment networks. In 2024, Visa processed $15.7 trillion, while Mastercard handled $9 trillion in Q4 alone. Stablecoin transfer volume more than doubled Visa’s annual throughEut and matched Mastercard’s, reinforcing their significance in financial infrastructure.

nothing to see here, just crypto hastening the collapse of global democracy.
