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.

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

The SEC takes a formal position on stablecoins stating that “covered” U.S. dollar stablecoins (essentially USDT & USDC) are not securities and persons involved in the process of “minting” and redeeming them are not required to register the transactions with the commission.

* 👾 Obscure Programming Languages in Malware: Malware authors are getting creative, using less common languages like Rust, Nim, Phix, Lisp and Haskell to evade detection - and it works.
* 💔 $8.2 Million Seized in Crypto Romance Baiting: The DOJ just seized millions in USDT from "romance baiting" scams (aka pig butchering), with links to human trafficking in Cambodia and Myanmar. This is a stark reminder of the human element in cybercrime.

Opalsec · Daily News Update: Sunday, March 30, 2025 (Australia/Melbourne)Malware authors increasingly use niche languages like Rust, Nim, and even Phix to bypass traditional security tools and complicate static analysis. The DOJ seized $8.2M in USDT from romance scams, revealing sophisticated manipulation tactics and links to human trafficking in Cambodia and Myanmar.

Tron (TRX) und Tether (die mit dem Stablecoin USDt) haben $9 Millionen aus dem Bybit hack eingefroren. Die beiden sind schon seit über einem Jahr, oder sogar schon länger in einer Allianz, um Cybercrime und gestohlene Gelder rund um Kryptowährungen zu jagen und festzusetzen.

#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.

Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like #Tether and #Circle (#Coinbase). One of the two would also let #ElonMusk print his own dollars.

Senate #Democrats like #KirstenGillibrand, #ElissaSlotkin, and #RubenGallego, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).

Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.

Ok y’all, we’ve talked about stock market manipulation and we’ve talked about crypto fraud and the First Crime Family, but have we talked about Howard Lutnick and how money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?

The Cryptocalypse Chronicles has a multi post series, of which part two is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether, and does business with gangs and sanctioned individuals and nations like Hamas, North Korea and Iran, and funds #pigButchering scams and illegal weapons and drug trades.
