    1/ This is a thread about the largest money-laundering casino on US soil that ever existed and its deep connections to Bitfinex/Tether, FTX, Donald Trump, US elections, Russia, Wirecard, intelligence agencies & the most powerful/dangerous gangster in the world: Semion Mogilevich.

    1/ In this thread we will disclose the identity of one of the (currently) most (in)famous NFT influencers. But before we do that, we first explain our (philosophical) justifications and provide some important disclaimers.

    We recently mentioned that "scammers have entered the NFT space at an industrial scale". Some exceptional and altruistic individuals in this space have provided us with evidence of wallet connections linking many of these scam projects. This is very big and will soon be revealed.

    Just a general warning for everyone. It has become clear that scammers have entered the NFT space at an industrial scale. The same anon teams churn out project after project with similar (stolen) art, paid Instagram/Twitter shills, high mint prices, etc. And they won't stop.

    We estimate that over 80% of all NFT projects coming out now are scams. If we don't explicitly mention that a project is a scam, it doesn't at all mean that it isn't a scam. We simply don't have the time/resources to mention them all. We hope people start to see the common signs.

    1/ CerealClub that is minting today is a scam. Associated with Squiggles and having a mint price of 0.5 (via a Dutch auction going to 0.1), which worst case would net the project >$11 million USD. Team is completely anonymous and

    We are back. Twitter’s suspension of our account, based on the fact that we were supposedly impersonating someone else (LOL) could not have been a bigger justification for the existence of Web3. And for that we kindly thank all the scammers and their bot armies that reported us❤️

    So tomorrow HypeBears(Club) are going to mint for 0.4 (!) each, which would net the team a profit of 4000 ETH (>$11 million). The team consisting of 3 anon & very suspicious Twitter accounts, including one with a compromised account from an attorney. What could possibly go wrong?

    1/ A quick update on MontanaBlack who in actual fact seems to have >20 million followers on all kinds of platforms. The story shows how many of these scam rings operate. There is always someone in the background doing the "dirty" work functioning as the intermediary and fall guy.

    1/ A quick reflection on what happened in the past days/weeks. It started with us mentioning the scam ring responsible for Squiggles. We wanted to release that information, but our account got suspended after one of the people involved paid someone to take our account down.

    Soon we will report about 3 scam rings originating from the same country (UAE) that have been responsible for >4 rug pulls each (3D projects). Mainly french speaking with connections to Canada/France. Some have >4M followers on IG. We will report names, so it requires more rigor.

    1/ Dear @opensea, what do you think of the fact that your Head of Ventures, Kevin Pawlak, has been involved in various very dubious business dealings (e.g. Anubis) and pump & dump schemes under his pseudonymous identity @0xSisyphus (& 0xMagellan)?

    1/ This thread shows there are deep connections between NFTs/crypto, Goldman Sachs, controversial financiers/investors, and some of the major FIAT frauds and financial scandals over the last years (e.g. Wirecard, 1MDB) that cannot be explained by mere coincidence. A thread. 🧵

    If you are new to the NFT space, our advice would be not to mint ANY project for the coming 2 weeks. We have indications that the same scam team created many projects each day, and they only have a limited time window before they are found out. That's why they delay the "reveal".
