i'm sure it's just a coincidence that the bitcoin wallet that #OFAC just sanctioned because it was being used by Russian and North Korean weapons programs just so happened to be sending all its bitcoins to crypto exchanges belonging to Trump's Chinese business partners: Justin Sun's #HTX and Changpeng Zhao's #Binance.

Quietly, the House of Lords has amended its rules to drop the requirement that Lords register non-financial interests.

After a month long consultation a committee of Lords concluded the bureaucratic burden of the recording of interests outweighed any benefit gained in debates.

To paraphrase immortal worlds of Mandy Rice Davies: well they would say that wouldn't they....

Holy hell. The Truck is such a complete fucking sales disaster that he's getting a corrupt deal with the military to buy them as targets.

THE TESLA TRUCK IS SUCH A COMPLETE FAILURE THAT THEY'RE SELLING THEM TO THE MILITARY AS TARGETS FOR TARGET PRACTICE.

No doubt at full price or some shit. Gotta claw those losses back somehow.

eta: It's small numbers in this initial buy. I find "a few" and "two" given as numbers in different articles. But c'mon. This is how it starts, right?

NYT article about Changpeng Zhao’s quest for a presidential pardon. Worth remembering that Trump’s World Liberty Financial has already launched its #stablecoin #USD1 mostly on the Binance blockchain (BNB) and USD1’s usage in decentralized finance is 99% happening on Binance fake decentralized exchanges (PancakeSwap).

Bo Hines, the nepo baby son of Todd Hines who was serving as an advisor to America’s “ #crypto czar” David Sacks, has resigned a few days after his dad Todd Hines joined the advisory board of a crypto sports gambling operation.

But it’s fine, I’m sure he won’t be profiting off of all his new contacts in the highest reaches of the American government.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

Jeffrey Epstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

1. The 2nd highest volume day in bitcoin history came a week after Epstein died.

2. #Stablecoin transfer volumes doubled less than 48 hours after Epstein was arrested. In particular #Tether, the stablecoin whose money is managed by Epstein's next door neighbor and #Trump's current Secretary of Commerce, saw on chain volumes skyrocket.

Also there's the matter of a bunch of suspicious deaths among Epstein's crypto circle.

lol back in 2022 both Steve Bannon and Steven Cheung (the trump spokesman whose corporeal form resembles nothing so much as the horrifying outcome of an experiment with an ogre and a donut got terribly wrong) worked on #BrockPierce's senatorial campaign.

Brock Pierce, for those who remember, was the co-founder of one of the most infamous fully confirmed hollywood pedophile rings in US history and was arrested in Marbella in a house full of guns and child pornography prior to becoming a crypto evangelist. he co-founded #Tether, a massive crypto fraud called #EOS, blockchain capital (current owners of #Bluesky) and so much more. he's also tight with #Netanyahu's son Yair.

"Britain’s drug gangs and Moscow’s hackers were just two nodes in a vast criminal super-network [that] included sanctioned oligarchs, Russian intelligence operatives and an Irish crime family."

(and of course that network also now includes the #Trump administration, because Howard Lutnick is/was Tether's money manager)

the trump and witkoff families' #stablecoin #USD1 has existed for like 4 weeks and it's already seeing more reported trading volume than the coinbase aligned Circle's stablecoin #USDC, which i'm sure is because of entirely legitimate financial activity and not because chinese crypto exchanges like #Binance and #OKX are wash trading and/or reporting fake volumes
