#TrueUSD, one of the many stablecoins connected to Chinese crypto scammer & Donald Trump business partner #JustinSun, received a half billion dollar bailout from... Justin Sun when it couldn't get its capital out of First Digital, another chinese #moneylaundering company that runs a stablecoin #FDUSD that is used for most trading on #Binance.
> "In September 2024, #TrueCoin and #TrustToken (the #stablecoin's owners before #Techteryx) settled with the #SEC over allegations they falsely marketed TrueUSD as fully dollar-backed while secretly investing reserves in risky offshore funds."

First payment for #Deel’s corporate espionage plot against Rippling was paid through a #Revolut account. Subsequent payments were made using crypto (ethereum), because the CEO of Deel believed (incorrectly) such payments would “leave no trace”.
When they got caught the CEO of Deel told the spy to destroy his electronic devices and offered to relocate them to #Dubai.
I would bet an enormous amount of money that any HR/payroll companies like Deel that engage in corporate espionage and offer to relocate people to Dubai are also laundering money for #Russia and/or Iran.
“In the land of the coins the man who makes it to Dubai is king.”

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Pete Hegseth, A Man Of Questionable Judgment
#PeteHegseth's in the news lately because of a "mishap" with a Signal group chat involving possibly top secret information about killing #Houthis. You might think this demonstrates poor judgment.
This is all less surprising if you know that Hegseth is a crypto bro who lost a bunch of money in possibly the most obvious cryptocurrency ponzi scheme in history, #CelsiusNetwork. Hegseth entrusted the group of Russian Israelis running #Celsius with his hard earned money *even after* the CFO of the firm was sent to prison in #Israel for #moneylaundering and organized crime connections.
tl;dr Maybe America should reconsider putting crypto bros in charge of the military.
Retoots appreciated.

Democratic Senator #RubenGallego (#Arizona) did a $5,000 a plate dinner with broligarch /Nerd Reich billionaire #MarcAndreessen and Matt Yglesias at the same time as #AOC and #BernieSanders were doing their recent rally in #Tucson.
The US Congress has been captured by the industry on both sides, not just the Republicans. Gallego was one of the largest recipients of the money laundering industry's - sorry, i mean "the crypto industry's" - financial support in the 2024 election. He's a disaster for the country.

#MoneyLaundering with #cryptocurrency in #Cambodia
"Every few weeks, fireworks light up the night sky in Cambodia, set off by scammers to salute their biggest swindles.
"By the time the shells pop and crackle, somebody’s life savings are probably gone. Maybe the victim fell for an online romance scam or bought into a fake cryptocurrency exchange. Whatever the scheme, the money has vanished, sucked into a complex money-laundering network that moves billions of dollars at a dizzying speed."

@CanadianCrone @gemelliz Sounds like #moneylaundering to me. Hence his promotion of #crypto. His wealth is so much larger than even his gross income over the years that it can only be explained by #proceeds of crime
