Privacy cash is a meme.
Ledger theft, day two. Since yesterday the thief has pushed ether through Tornado Cash three times, and each time on into Zcash's shielded pool. We followed every lot out the far side. Here is how, step by step.
1. THE SAME BUILD, THREE TIMES
An ether wallet pays a fresh splitter. The splitter pays four fresh wallets. The four drop it into Tornado Cash's 100, 10 and 1 ETH pools. Minutes, every time.
Run 1, yesterday 15:17: 1,254 ETH. Run 2, today 09:42: 1,291 ETH. Run 3, today 11:56: 450 ETH from 0xfa4EaBB840A33C156E600311433AE261CBfCb0e2, in the pools by 12:15.
2. OUT OF TORNADO CASH
The mixer breaks the link between a deposit and a withdrawal. We do not need the link. Our tooling fingerprints the withdrawal transactions themselves: how each one is constructed, who constructs it, and when.
Yesterday's 65 withdrawals (1,084 ETH) and today's 96 (1,726 ETH) all carry the same signature. The six other withdrawals from those pools in today's windows do not. Run 3 came out from 12:18 into 0x0d697aa182801566d87adc86e68e95fd3b2f5f82 (213 ETH) and 0x676b16cc18542f37d202a1a79ac05463395496a4 (122 ETH), and 195 ETH of it was inside a cross-chain swap service by 12:38. Forty-two minutes, end to end.
3. INTO ZCASH, AND OUT AGAIN
The swap service turns the ether into shielded ZEC, where sender, amount and recipient vanish. But the service's own shielding of each lot is public, and from it we derive a value signature for that lot's exit, then scan every transparent exit from the pool. 108 of 108 exits across both days match their lot to the zatoshi. Not one other exit from the pool does.
First lot today: in at 10:18:18, out at 11:06:16 in block 3512847 (8d26a9b095d4d28373527f7a6eb81a3be7f906d1e2190960c0512ff64f369418 and 738c6d1261e79766e4dd16bdbd38dced91b8e3a86ce41dcda83eda1f19208fbf), straight into a ZEC to USDC order.
Today so far: 20 lots ordered (2,379 ZEC, $2.9m), 14 out, 5 inside the pool, 1 still settling. Every exit feeds a ZEC to USDC order paying two wallets born at 11:11, 22 of the 28 paid by 12:43:
0x816D5Ee17DB1495d1409F135b98FF3edc5F3cDf8: 940,561 USDC
0xBA736A4b616e79867B6d586293966b552883f3F3: 852,258 USDC
1.79m USDC, unspent. @Circle can freeze it.

🇪🇺BREAKING: ECB launches “Digital Euro” for banks as Pontes begins tokenized finance pilot.
President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde announces The ECB is launching Pontes today, a platform that will connect private blockchain networks with the TARGET system, allowing banks to settle tokenized assets directly in central bank money.
“It's digital euro made available for banks,” the ECB says, allowing institutions to transact using tokenized assets and DLT “faster, without friction," she adds.
Pontes is the first step toward the ECB’s broader Appia ecosystem for tokenized financial markets, while consumer-facing digital euro testing is planned for mid-2027.

Hilarious that CT became rabidly anti semitic and republican just in time for the cycle winner to be a coin developed by a transsexual working for the Mossad

To the extent it remains a path to upward mobility, it's largely because of the "success equity" built up by previous generations.
By trashing the admissions standards, they're spending down that equity very quickly.

Before you post a crying video on the internet, allow me to share something men have known for a long time.
Nobody cares about your happiness. The world doesn’t owe you shit. Have some agency and toughen up.

Whenever someone tells us about crypto we think about how we have to bend over horizontally.

Governments are going to be running Mythos-level AI on all surveillance cameras, financial transactions, emails, etc.
… and you don’t think Zcash needs to exist?!?

His hands are showing the exact length of the high speed rail they can build with all that money.
It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.
10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.
The system is fundamentally broken.
The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.
It’s time for an economic reset.

https://xitter.cf/t.co/OAW5XvGRtU Affordable housing makes Santa Monica unaffordable. How?
It's $960k/unit to build. Only select few can live there:
Boomers
Homeless
Fire victims(???)
People with income <60% AMI
Making more? Tough shit. Pay full price.

may a thousand pestilences rot your body away to match your soul. may every venture sink you farther from the glory you so desperately wish again. may those who associate with you fall under misfortune at every turn. may your mind be turned to mush for the weight of your sins.

⚔️ Anduril founder @PalmerLuckey responds to Trump’s statements criticizing defense companies for having priorities in the wrong place:
"I think it's a perfectly fair criticism. Defense companies are unique in that they make almost all of their money straight out the wallet of the taxpayer."
"people say, 'Palmer this unfair to Anduril because it's not gonna hit you.' You know why it's not gonna hit us? because we ARE delivering on time, because we ARE staying on budget, and if that's unfair competition...I deserve to win."
"I'm not a fan of passing the buck...if [an employee] comes to me 'under my leadership…we have never ever hit the promises we made for our customers' You know what their new job title would be? Fired.”
