Same story:

Quote :

"The company sent the money on May 20, 2021 to a bank account belonging to Thevamanogari Manivel after entering her account number into the payment amount field, according to the judgement. "Instead of refunding $100.00 as intended, $10,474,143.00 was erroneously transferred," the judgement reads."

And now I know that Thevamanogari Manivel's Crypto.com account number is 10474143!

I'm wondering if +/- $20k is the equilibrium sweet spot and if there could ever be any kind of semi-stable "currency" element to BTC, or if it will just go back to fluctuating wildly like a stock like it has in the past. It's been in the $18k-$24k range over the last few months.

Still mining. It's not profitable vs if I'd have just sold for cash @48k when I bought the miners. Haven't sold any generated, but getting about .02 a month for $300.

You're wasting energy for no reason. It's dumber than SETI.

10/27/2022 6:50:30 PM

^ I generally do what ever pisses you off. Just bought another older miner to make sure it wastes even more energy.

11/4/2022 10:25:48 PM

Apparently.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/exclusive-least-1-billion-client-funds-missing-failed-crypto-firm-ftx-sources-2022-11-12/

Quote :

" The exchange's founder Sam Bankman-Fried secretly transferred $10 billion of customer funds from FTX to Bankman-Fried's trading company Alameda Research, the people told Reuters. A large portion of that total has since disappeared, they said. One source put the missing amount at about $1.7 billion. The other said the gap was between $1 billion and $2 billion."

Quote :

" In text messages to Reuters, Bankman-Fried said he "disagreed with the characterization" of the $10 billion transfer. "We didn't secretly transfer," he said. "We had confusing internal labeling and misread it," he added, without elaborating. Asked about the missing funds, Bankman-Fried responded: "???" FTX and Alameda did not respond to requests for comment."

Quote :

" In a subsequent examination, FTX legal and finance teams also learned that Bankman-Fried implemented what the two people described as a "backdoor" in FTX's book-keeping system, which was built using bespoke software. They said the "backdoor" allowed Bankman-Fried to execute commands that could alter the company's financial records without alerting other people, including external auditors. This set-up meant that the movement of the $10 billion in funds to Alameda did not trigger internal compliance or accounting red flags at FTX, they said."

Lol.

^^ this ain't got nothing to do with the currency or anything around it. It's just straight up fraud. Should spur some kind of regulation around those exchanges, though. Hard to believe that hasn't happened yet

From the most recent bankruptcy filing and written by the new FTX CEO of less than a week:

Quote :

"Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."

^ $1000 invested at the start of the thread is still worth $4,000,000.

That said think it's probably going to decent below 2017 levels shortly. Lots of shady shit that probably has tentacles in the non shitcoin side.

Largest bail in history at $250 million. His colleagues are pleading guilty and cooperating with federal investigators.

Surrender your passport, bitch.

12/22/2022 7:53:07 PM

So I guess his parents did his bail and put their house up or something? I read somewhere he said he was down to one credit card and about 100k. How long until he is found dead?
