Give @chazzpalminteri the Oscar
In a volatile world where hacks and scams rule, one platform refuses to play by the old script: OKX. CEX, DEX, and CeDeFi powered by infrastructure that shuts out chaos and unlocks possibility. Welcome to the Mild Mild West, where the wild gets mild.

The prices might drop, the tourists will leave, but as long as the tech continues to improve… The industry will keep growing

Why didn't @MEXC_Official name the firm that conducted their most recent Proof Of Reserves? Did @hackenclub find something bad enough to make them drop you as clients? How is anyone supposed to trust these "audits" if we can not verify who conducted them?
We fucked up. We apologize to @TheWhiteWhaleV2 , and his money is already released. He can claim it at any time. I messed up in communicating with him. I got emotional, and I shouldn’t have. Since I joined MEXC 2 months ago I’ve been fighting behind the scenes to get MEXC to

The @okx team recently worked with @chainalysis, @binance, and @tether to identify and freeze $47 Million USDT stolen from victims of pig butchering (confidence) scams! These scams often exploit emotional vulnerabilities, not intelligence. I’ve seen doctors, lawyers, and

Any website domain that ends in “.vip” is a scam. Seeing more scam investment platforms primarily using .vip domains, likely because they are cheaper than .com and other alternatives. Stay safe everyone!

This is the worst scenario possible. Have watched everyone from ISIS to SBF launder money, and DPRK is by far the best in the world at it. Bybit would be lucky to recover 10% of their losses IMO…

It is so much easier to catch bad actors on the blockchain than in traditional finance. This is because the blockchain is: Immutable - Transactional records cannot be deleted or altered like in traditional finance. Any mistakes made by someone attempting to launder crypto will
As the crypto industry development, compliance in crypto will be same as banking, both of the industries will fight with criminal activities. Because of transparency of blockchain technology, crypto will do better anti criminal jobs than banking in the future. Most of the banking
