The 2 images above describe what seems to have happened at #FTX #Crypto-currency exchange.
CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (#SBF) operated what is known as a "Flywheel scheme" at #FTX
Flywheel schemes enable firms to mark their illiquid token holdings to market value.
Throw in a little market manipulation, and you can generate billions in assets.
At least, on paper.
In reality, these tokens cannot be monetized because the markets are so distorted!
-----------------
#FTX's token, #FTT, is used internally within the exchange.
#FTX's "assets" included #FTT valued at over $5 Billion.
However #FTT's market capitalization was only approx $3 Billion. 🤷♂
Additionally the majority of the remainder of #FTX "assets" appear to be highly illiquid #AltCoin tokens

Each dot represents $100,000 of US taxpayers' money ostensibly donated as vital "Aid to #Ukraine".
Much of it now likely lining the pockets of members of the corrupt #Zelensky #regime of #Ukraine.
It was recently revealed that some of this #US "aid-to-Ukraine" money was "invested", by the Zelensky regime, in the #FTX #crypto #ponzi scheme
Money from #FTX was subsequently laundered ("donated"), by #FTX founder Sam #BankmanFreid, back into the coffers of the Biden election campaign

Hackers can steal cryptographic keys by video-recording power LEDs 60 feet away | Ars Technica –
Video-Based Cryptanalysis: Extracting Cryptographic Keys from Video Footage of a Device’s Power LED – https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/923
#Hacking #Crypto #mobile
Researchers have devised a novel attack that recovers the secret encryption keys stored in smart cards and smartphones by using cameras in iPhones or commercial surveillance systems to video record power LEDs that show when the card reader or smartphone is turned on.
The attacks enable a new way to exploit two previously disclosed side channels, a class of attack that measures physical effects that leak from a device as it performs a cryptographic operation. By carefully monitoring characteristics such as power consumption, sound, electromagnetic emissions, or the amount of time it takes for an operation to occur, attackers can assemble enough information to recover secret keys that underpin the security and confidentiality of a cryptographic algorithm.Video-Based Cryptanalysis: Extracting Cryptographic Keys from Video Footage of a Device’s Power LED – https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/923

If essentially most Telegram users see the actual Pavel Durov's arrest through the censorship lens and the war in Ukraine let us not forget Telegram had allways the intention to capitalise on the infastructure and the mass of it's worldwide users, it chose to develop TON cryptocurrency, here are some reminders :
Telegram shut the project, Telegram Open Network (TON), after a court battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, offering investors partial refunds. The $1.7 billion token offering was one of the largest initial coin offerings in history. The fight with the SEC, which said the tokens, called grams, were unregistered securities, became crypto's biggest legal battle with the U.S. regulator.

The #FBI created its own #crypto token called ‘NexFundAI’ to take down market manipulators.
A judge unsealed charges against eighteen individuals and entities accused of crypto market manipulation.
On Wednesday, a judge unsealed a wide-ranging criminal case brought by the Department of Justice against eighteen individuals and companies accused of manipulating crypto markets and artificially boosting tokens. According to the complaint, the operation targeted one crypto firm with a multi-billion-dollar market value, and relied on a ruse involving a new cryptocurrency spun up by the FBI.

Hello, my Mad Hatter friends! 🎩
Let me ask you a question: have you ever wondered how Monero's security works and whether it is as reliable as they say?🪙
In my new article, I figured this out and also explained how to further protect yourself so that your transactions remain invisible even to the most curious eyes.🛡
I describe in detail how Monero works, how resistant it is to attacks, and what measures will help you maintain your anonymity. 🔑
The article covers attacks ranging from Black Marble Flooding to Eclipse Attacks, and I also share practical tips on how to run your own node and configure Tor to increase your privacy.
I hope you will find it interesting to delve into this topic. 🧩 At the end of the article, there are links to additional materials so that you can explore this topic in more depth if you wish. ⚙️
Enjoy your tea! ☕️🩷

"Child abuse imagery found within bitcoin's blockchain" - Samuel Gibbs, Guardian, 20MAR2018
>Researchers from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany found that around 1,600 files were currently stored in bitcoin’s blockchain. Of the files least eight were of sexual content, including one thought to be an image of child abuse and two that contain 274 links to child abuse content, 142 of which link to dark web services.
>“Our analysis shows that certain content, eg, illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal,” . “Although court rulings do not yet exist, legislative texts from countries such as Germany, the UK, or the USA suggest that illegal content such as CSAM can make the blockchain illegal to possess for all users.”
>While the spending of #bitcoin does not necessarily require a copy of the #blockchain to facilitate, some processes, such as some mining techniques, require the downloading of the full blockchain or chunks of it.

"... The Endgame: GENIUS, CLARITY, and the #Bitcoin Reserve
This is the full circle.
#Epstein funded the #MIT devs who killed Bitcoin as cash.
#Brock #Pierce ran the Bitcoin Foundation into the ground, opened the door for Epstein’s money, brokered Epstein’s Coinbase stake, sat in Epstein’s mansion pitching Bitcoin to Larry Summers, co-founded #Tether, and kept emailing Epstein until 2018.
Tether then printed unbacked dollars to pump Bitcoin 50% in 2017.
Howard #Lutnick, who lied about cutting ties with Epstein, took over management of Tether’s $130+ billion Treasury reserves before he even joined the Trump transition. He pushed for Treasury Secretary, missed, landed at Commerce, installed his ally Bo Hines as White House crypto advisor, had #Hines ram through the #GENIUS Act, then watched Hines quit the White House and immediately become CEO of Tether’s U.S. subsidiary.
Every single player is connected. Every single move was coordinated.
The GENIUS Act entrenches the exact loopholes Tether has lived on.
The CLARITY Act hands regulatory cover to the same insiders.
The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve sits on top of a coin whose price was artificially inflated by the same stablecoin they now “regulate,” whose core development was funded by Epstein, and whose usability was deliberately destroyed by the people who profit from the fix.
This is not Big Short 2.0.
This is Big Short 2.0 on steroids, pre-planned, and run by the same network that already owns the outcome.
They created the crisis (crippled on-chain Bitcoin), printed the fake money to pump it (Tether), positioned themselves to own the “solution” (Blockstream, Cantor, USAT), wrote the laws that protect their scam (GENIUS, CLARITY), and are now preparing to step in as the saviors when the bubble they inflated finally pops. They walk away with fees, stakes, revolving-door jobs, and permanent control over programmable money. We get every transaction tracked, every dollar programmable, and the last remnants of financial freedom erased under the banner of “innovation” and “stability.”
This is not incompetence. This is conquest...."
