Exposed Bitfinex/Tether as one the largest financial frauds in history.
"A powerful force working to harm Tether." - Tether CEO
- Ludovicus Jan van der Velde
Tethers lawyer Jason Weinstein claims that they produced forensic evidence showing that Tethers were fully backed every single day.
That's strange. The CFTC said the exact opposite.
How come Tether doesn't produce this forensic evidence for the public to see it, to end the FUD?
Celsius is dumping your crypto onto the market, they'll let you have your crypto later when they buy it back for less than half.
Enjoy losing your money in a blatant Ponzi scheme.
Oh, and the exchanges are in on it.
Tether Co-Founder Reeve Collins when asked if people holding Tethers will be able to get all of their money:
"I can't guarantee anything, but I truly believe that."
Don't verify, believe two time convicted liars under DOJ criminal investigation for bank fraud.
Binance is wash trading. Exactly what we have been telling you all for years.
The entire cryptocurrency market is in reality fewer than twenty players.
The only buyer of Bitcoin on Bitfinex is a single trader using fake Bitfinex dollars to absorb all of the selling.
Instead of printing Tether, they print margin loans to buy bitcoin. This position is virtually impossible to unwind if it's real.
IT'S HALF THE COLD WALLET.
What the fuck did I tell you guys?
Just before 40k drops, shut out retail traders from selling, tether injected nearly a billion dollars of fake money, market recovery, and coinbase is back.
I’m not a genius, these assholes are just that obvious.
"Why do you bash so many crypto companies?"
Because those crypto companies end up doing this to people, they tell everyone it's safe, when it's a huge fucking lie, and they essentially steal peoples money and life savings. h/t /u/Gk786
Everyone is mad at the SEC for suing Binance.
Literally nobody is mad about Binance wash trading, front running, market manipulation, fraud, etc.
Shows you how brainwashed crypto speculators are.
There’s still time to withdraw from crypto dot com.
There’s still time to withdraw from Binance.
There’s still time to withdraw from Bitfinex.
There’s still time to get rid of your tethers.
Do it.
Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was originally the CTO for OKCoin, a Chinese crypto exchange.
CZ did the programming for the wash trading bots, they were called “volumizers”. It’s not a surprise that CZ still uses bots to this day, to spam twitter and wash trade on Binance.
Shhh, don’t tell anyone! You’re ruining the scam. 😡
Fun Fact: Bitcoin exchanges can do the same thing. Especially when most of the buy orders and sell orders belong to the same three or four people who coordinate with each other.
Binance on the verge of halting withdrawals.
As we speak, people are trying to withdraw their crypto, and then being told that they need to re-verify their KYC, they'll submit documentation, which Binance will drag their feet & delay.
Insiders will withdraw from the platform…
How did Alameda Research actually lose $8 billion dollars?
Who was on the other side of the trade? Who got the $8 billion dollars that was lost?
Time to take a closer look at where SBF sent billions of dollars to another proven fraud.
Tether.
Binance starting to lock down accounts and artificially delay withdrawals.
Next up: They're going to require that you KYC/AML (again), then drag their feet and stonewall you before allowing you to withdraw.
You have to ask yourself why would a single trader need over three hundred trading accounts, to trade on Binance?
Because they're wash trading and painting the tape between their accounts.
They can make the prices do whatever they want.
Hi George!
While you were making videos claiming that the Celsius concerns were all just FUD, why were you withdrawing everything you could from it?
@CryptosR_Us
Step 1. Wash Trade your worthless NFT for a million dollars with yourself.
Step 2. Borrow half a million dollars using your wash traded NFT as collateral.
You thought the housing bubble was bad? You haven’t seen anything yet, sparky.
Alright, let's review.
Since FTX blew up Binance has:
1. Added Cloud Mining scams.
2. Offer 50% APR incentives to deposit to Binance
3. Tell everyone that 99% of people will lose their crypto if they self-custody.
I'm sure everything is just fine over at Binance.
What the fuck did I tell all you guys? Bitfinex and Tether are the most predictable frauds in history.
I’m not a genius, these idiots are just that obvious.
Celsius has negotiated a secret bailout package with Tether, tether agrees to use tethers reserves to take the losses on their balance sheet and hope to make it up trading shitcoins.
Since nobody can see what tether holds, what tether bagholders can't see, can't hurt them.
The Celsius Ponzi scam is imploding.
Tether loaned a billion Tethers to the Celsius Ponzi scam.
That loan probably going into default or Tether has to dump the collateral, crashing more markets. Isn’t Tether fraud awesome?
I'm going to say it again.
SBF/Alameda/FTX was a money laundering front for Bitfinex/Tether, with a trade fraud/market manipulation arm.
I told you all in 2021 about Alameda/FTX, before they blew up.
From NY Times:
Tether fraud to the rescue! CZ activates over 300 wash trading accounts stuffed with fresh Tether fraud bucks to repeatedly buy and sell to himself to show everyone “See! Crypto prices are going up! SEC is FUD!”
Of course, it’s just wash trading of course and not real demand.
Coming soon on Binance:
Oops, we converted your BTC accidentally to BNB.
This was a serious mistake.
We will return the bitcoins to you shortly.
* Two weeks later Bitcoin suddenly crashes 50% *
Thank you for your patience, here’s your bitcoin back. We dumped the market…
A single trader in the US, from Chicago, is 12% of the volume on Binance.
ONE TRADER.
Remember kids, when I tell you that fewer than twenty people control the entire crypto market, we're not bullshitting you.
Binance needs a billion dollar bailout. Except he claims it’s to help other firms. It’s bullshit. Same bullshit as FTX.
Binance has a hole they’re trying to fill in.
Binance now halts withdrawals of USDC citing a so-called “wallet upgrade”.
Maybe it’s to force you to buy crypto to withdraw.
The lights are shutting off.
I wonder why Binance is suspending so many withdrawals, but allowing deposits?
I guess every blockchain is upgrading their wallets now? Why does the blockchain only update for Binance and not other exchnages?
Long story short, FTX couldn’t get bank accounts, so they used Alamedas bank account.
“To work around the problem”, ah yes, bank fraud was the workaround.
Some workaround. Fun Fact: Binance does the same thing with Silvergate. 🚨🚨🚨
Well that's *absolutely* fascinating.
CNBC deleted the disastrous interview with Tether. Maybe because it contained unfortunate comments about Tethers largest customer, Sam Bankman-Fried?
The video used to be here:
What's going on?
@dee_bosa
The Celsius Ponzi is collapsing so fast that they're force locking peoples accounts.
Contact support to get access to your money, support will get back to you... when they feel like it.
It's all just "FUD".
🚨🚨Binance is starting to steal customers deposits, when the customers complain that they can’t withdraw their money, Binance claims that their funds have been seized by government officials. 🚨🚨
Don't forget:
Tether has invested into the Celsius Ponzi scam.
If you have Tethers you're exposed to the Celsius Ponzi blow up.
Did you expect a company under US DOJ criminal investigation for bank fraud, to make prudent investments?
Come on now, don't be silly.
Hey with all these crypto platforms going bankrupt, remember Coinbase quietly added bankruptcy disclosures in their last quarterly filings, then told everyone that they have no plans to go bankrupt. They then fired a bunch of people.
Probably fine.
Binance allows 0 fee trading for TUSD
Binance gets sued by SEC.
TrueUSD stops attestations.
TrueUSD prints a billion tokens out of thin air.
Bitcoin suddenly skyrockets.
Here's the pump and dump I warned you about.
Grayscale is in some real trouble if they have to reveal where all the Bitcoins are that back the GBTC.
How much ya'll want to make a bet they've been loaning the Bitcoins backing GBTC?
Can anyone propose a legitimate reason that they won't show the address on the blockchain?
Coinbase executives continue dumping millions of dollars of Coinbase stock.
Nothing inspires more confidence in your company than dumping millions of dollars in stock as your company is being sued for selling unregistered securities.
Maybe employee wash traded shitcoins and…
Apparently, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, isn't very confident in Coinbase stock.
He's been dumping tens of thousands of shares.
That's the nice thing about stocks, unlike crypto, insiders have to tell you when they're dumping.
Tether: Our commercial paper is safe.
Critics: Cool. Can we see what it is?
Tether: No, because then it won't be safe anymore. They're Quantum Reserves in superposition and observing them causes a wave function collapse and the reserves become unsafe, hence no auditing.
Hurry up and deposit your money to Bitfinex to lock in 30+% interest rates on your deposits!
Absolutely nothing is going wrong here.
Why redeem your Tethers when you can get sweet returns by leaving your money on Bitfinex?
I guess that’s how Bitfinex stops the bank run.
GRAYSCALE REFUSES TO PROVIDE PROOF OF GBTC RESERVES.
Grayscale can't provide the proof, because showing Bitcoins on a Bitcoin address to prove the reserves are there... compromises their security... or something.
There's a reason GBTC bitcoins are what, 40-50% cheaper than BTC?
Binance’s “auditor” Mazars, just quietly nuked the website containing Binance’s so called “proof of liabilities”.
Here’s what it said before it was nuked.
Fun Fact: Binance has 15 billion USD worth of BNB shitcoin on the exchange.
Also Fun Fact: Binance allows you to use BNB shitcoin as collateral for loans, which is not disclosed on their public website.
Hi "Exchange Coordination" 👋
Coordinate this! 🖕
Guys guys, the Bitcoin Spot ETF is going to be approved and Coinbase is going to be the custodian and they're going to be making a killing.
That's why Coinbase insiders are dumping a shit ton of Coinbase shares.
Crypto exchanges are supposed to make money from crypto trades. The price going up or down shouldn’t cause any stress on honest crypto exchanges.
So when crypto exchanges shutdown withdrawals, that tells you that they were gambling with customers crypto.
It is now too late to withdraw from crypto dot com.
There’s still time to withdraw from Binance.
There’s still time to withdraw from Bitfinex.
There’s still time to get rid of your tethers.
Do it.
Tether is megafucked.
Tether will be forced to redeem within a business day after receiving KYC/AML information from a customer. They won’t be able to drag out redemption indefinitely by stalling verification.
Tether won’t comply and will be banned in the UK. Tether fraud is…
Introducing: Daniel Friedberg, the "General Counsel"/"Chief Regulatory Officer" for FTX/Alameda.
Danny boy used to work with Stuart Hoegner over at Excapsa. A poker software that allowed Excapsa employees to cheat.
Here they talk about fake coins printed on FTX.
Enjoy.
Rumors of an Interpol Red Notice for CZ. Is that what happens when a US government agency accuses you of laundering money for terrorists?
Asking for a friend.
efedf7c4a51516ef909fb0a1c11e7443ee8cf85727d3ec14d0b7c3682e4a2bb6
How’s this working out?
@APompliano
They left the old world of money and joined the future of no money and bankruptcy court. Good job. What’s the APY now genius?
It’s interesting that when the SEC accused XRP/Ripple of being a security, Coinbase immediately delisted it. Ripple hasn’t yet been convicted of any wrongdoing.
Tether is convicted of lying about their reserves, twice & under criminal investigation, Coinbase listed Tether.
CZ: If exchanges have to move a lot of crypto before or after they demonstrate their wallet, it’s a clear sign of problems. Stay away.
Also CZ: We’re moving $2B of crypto into our wallets to prove reserves because we don’t know how to sign messages to prove we have control.
Microstrategy did not buy 12,333 Bitcoin.
In 2020, 2021, 2022, they used the language "purchased".
In 2023, they use the language "acquired".
Yes, there's a difference.
They're borrowing them from a crypto exchange currently being sued by the SEC. The exchange is likely…
Guys guys, instead of buying or selling bitcoin and being subject to TheMan via banks, why not just like… use bitcoin?
Trade bitcoin for items directly, like you know, a currency… what it was intended for. I thought that was the whole point?
