Knowing how Fake News operates, the below post had me Curious... so i decided to take a look.
Did you know that Mt. Gox was named Mt Gox by its Founder, Jed McCaleb, who wanted to start a Magic the Gathering On-line exchange? That was the original intent behind Mt. Gox.
MTGOX = Magic The Gathering Online eXcahnge
Mt Gox was first exploited just 3 months after Jed McCaleb sold his SHIBuya, Tokyo, Japan based exchange, Mt. Gox in March of 2011.
Accoring to Wikipedia, to prove Mt. Gox still had control over its funds in June 2011, they moved 424,242 Bitcoins in 1 transaction. This Bitcoin would go thru a 3 year rug, from 2011 to 2014.
Over the next 3 years, Mt. Gox was slowly rugged, losing over 850,000 Bitcoin, worth over $35 Billion today.
I think anyone and everyone would agree that $35 Billion in Crypto is a lot of Crypto that will need to be laundered in several different ways. Enough opportunity to maybe provide liquidity services, build blockchains, invest in ICO's, maybe even buy some MTG cards. This is me just thinking thru the problem of having 850K Bitcoin that needs moved. Anyways...
Jed McCaleb later went on to found Ripple, who has arguably its largest presence in Japan, a partnership with SBI Holdings, who I agrue founded money laundering token, $SHIB. Japan happens to also be where Mt. Gox was headquartered.
In February 2014, Mt. Gox seized trading, 5 months prior to the Ethereum Token launch.
That same month (Feb-2014), the then CEO of Mt. Gox, stepped down from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation.
When Mt. Gox's exploit was announced, the price dipped 37%, a similar price action to that of Ethereum based, The DAO's exploit aftermath.
Ethereum's largest original exchange used by the Ethereum Foundation, Kraken, founder Jesse Powell was assigned to assist in the processing of the more than 127,000 creditors of Mt. Gox. This was announced early January of 2015.
BTC-E, accused of laundering Mt. Gox funds, was the original funder of a few of DerrickLiu_eth's wallets. They sent 100 ETH from BTC-E using a Split-Transaction contract setup by Krakens Deployer.
Remember the 424,242 BTC that Mt. Gox moved in June 2011? Ethereum's Block 0, which was the block where all 70Mish of Ethereum's presold ICO tokens were distributed, took place on Nonce 0x0000000000000042.
We could go on...
We got denied some funding last week, I guess we aren't good enough 🫡

Most Americans are still unaware that the census counts ALL people, including illegal immigrants, for deciding how many House seats each state gets!
This results in Dem states getting roughly 20 more House seats, which is another strong incentive for them not to deport illegals.

If you are in #crypto and not following this in-depth researcher @BoringSleuth you are missing out on deep blockchain forensic’s🔎
This sleuth is going to put someone behind bars one day because he’s covering the real data that the dark shadows don’t want light on.
Keep up the great work! 💡🤝
🚨Is Robinhood a silent player in moving/accepting illicit Crypto funds?
I’m left wondering how much illicit funds have been hidden and/or Passed thru Robinhood!
@sunil_trades highlights below how $544 Million in FTX customer funds flowed from FTX -> Alameda -> Special Purpose Vehicle to hide illicit funds -> to ultimately Robinhood.
I highlighted in early 2023, that the Wallet who setup/originally funded Robinhoods public exchange address received over >$400M in $ETH from Gemini, beginning just 1 month after Robinhood launched their Cryptocurrency wallet to Millions of users. That same wallet sent over $140M to the Bitmart Exchange Exploiter.
If you recall, Robinhood was in Cash trouble in early 2020, and was one of the biggest stories of the market in 2020. They raised capital from CCP connected Sequoia in May of that year.
In late June 2021, Robinhood was fined $57 million by FINRA, the largest ever FINRA fine, and forced to pay $13 million in restitution to clients affected by outages and misleading communications in March 2020.
Per the @WSJ, In August 2022, Robinhood's cryptocurrency division was fined $30 million by the New York State Department of Financial Services for allegedly violating anti-money-laundering and cybersecurity regulations, in the department's first crypto enforcement action.
FTX had a history with $AMC, printing/trading leveraged AMC tokens on the Blockchain. On 1 May 2023, Robinhood falsely added a bankruptcy tag to AMC stock on their Platform.
Per @cnbc, In November of 2023, Robinhood announced they would be opening up Trading in the UK in early 2024.
Yesterday, Sunil let us know the shady dealings behind FTX, who just undersold its UK business for $33M, in what has been labeled as confusing and questions the integrity and reason behind the Deal.
I’m left wondering if/how Robinhoods UK announcement ties into FTXs UK deal.

Uh Oooh, the liars said we didn`t make a documentary called #Cryptonaires.
Then they said we stole the money.

We actually went over budget and had to go out of pocket to finish the film. And we did!
There is only one question left now that I have gone out of my way to show my accountability and the actual truth.
Who in this space will hold the liars accountable for their lies?
Oh, and the film was a dedication to the #XRPCommunity.
It was never intended to be specifically about XRP.
It was a film about the crypto space and where we are going. It`s not flashy,but it sure holds up to where the market is today.
Enjoy! and let`s all work together to hold the liars accountable because I`m going to if they don`t stop.

Given some irresponsible speculation and reporting, I want to reiterate that NO Ripple-managed wallets were compromised. Full stop.
This is an isolated incident, and Ripple wallets are secure / were never compromised. We’ve confirmed nearly all the affected funds were converted out of XRP.
We’re working with law enforcement and have been advised that a significant portion of funds have been frozen, and are pursuing the remainder aggressively. Many thanks to @XRPLF @Silkjaer for their help.
Nicole retweeted
Yesterday, there was unauthorized access to a few of my personal XRP accounts (not @Ripple) – we were quickly able to catch the problem and notify exchanges to freeze the affected addresses. Law enforcement is already involved.
It appears @Ripple was hacked for ~213M XRP ($112.5M)

So far the stolen funds have been laundered through MEXC, Gate, Binance, Kraken, OKX, HTX, HitBTC, etc

Fraudulent announcements, like the one that was made on the SEC’s social media, can manipulate markets. We need transparency on what happened.

The @SECGov twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted. The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.

In case no one has noticed, the U.S. #NationalDebt has risen by $444 billion in the past two weeks. At that pace the U.S. would be adding $11 trillion per year to the National Debt. Something is clearly going wrong. A sovereign debt and U.S dollar crisis can't be too far away.
