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.

Lesenswert!

Republik · Obskure Bitcoin-Connections in LuganoBy Thomas Schwendener

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.

www.woz.ch · Lugano und der «Plan B»: Geld für Gelati, Terror und DrogenLugano will Kryptohauptstadt Europas werden und setzt dabei auf eine Firma, deren digitale Währung weltweit zur Geldwäsche genutzt wird.

Legendarily shady crypto bro Brock Pierce, the co-founder of #Tether w/deep ties to Steve Bannon, the #Netanyahu family, and one of America's most infamous pedophile rings (DEN), is currently in #Romania meeting with that country's future president Victor Ponta to spread the gospel of crypto.

Ponta himself has apparently long been dogged by an aura of corruption and underworld connections, which would be appropriate for someone taking meetings with Brock Pierce.

More recently there's been suggestions Brock Pierce is a player in #Qatargate. If you're unfamiliar with the man's sordid backstory I covered most of it here: cryptadamus.substack.com/p/eri

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.

🔎 #Tether'in Bitcoin Madenciliğinde OCEAN ile Yeni Hamlesi

Kriptofoni · Tether'dan Radikal Adım: Bitcoin Madenciliği İçin OCEAN'la Güçlerini BirleştirdiKripto para dünyasının en büyük oyuncularından biri olan Tether Bitcoin madenciliğinde önemli bir adım attı.

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.

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.
