Newsletter #177 - Razzlekhan-not keep that BTC

Yo Shitcoiners,

You might have read in last week’s newsletter that the funds from the Bitfinex hack of 2016 were on the move. Well, turns out the feds were doing the moving. It was just announced that two individuals were arrested for an alleged conspiracy to launder $4.5 billion of the funds.

‍

Here is a photo of the team who made it happen.

‍

And the rest of the team behind the operation.

‍

In a lot of these situations, those accused are portrayed as shadowy career criminals but in this case… well, things are a little different.

‍

Heather, otherwise known as Razzlekhan was not one to stay in the shadows. She’s a rapper.

‍

She even has her own NFTs.

‍

When she wasn’t shilling Versace Bedouin JPEGs you would find her sharing the top tips to protect you from cybercriminals!

The fact that BitGo were heavily involved in the hack makes them reposting Heather’s article very ironic.

‍

We do wonder if she actually found that $50 at the bottom of her filing cabinet…

For those wondering if these two were CIA. We doubt it. See the video below.

‍

Expectation versus reality.

‍

At least Heather made the billionaire rappers list!

‍

Cobie gave his own hot take on what they should have done.

‍

At least this has led to the government shilling Bitcoin. Muh gainz.

‍

It also was an interesting moment for good friend of Shitcoin.com Zane Tackett, who was at the center of this shitstorm when he was at Bitfinex. He had some strong words for the CEO of Bitgo.

‍

Here’s SBF.

‍

SBF had a hell of a day himself only 24 hours later as a he appeared in congress. He was prepared.

‍

One particular highlight up next.

‍

In an interesting move, FTX’s biggest competitor Binance have taken a sizeable stake in Forbes.

‍

CZ is too big to be cancelled at this point. Some in the space however are not. This week they were a few more cancellations.

‍

“Web3” is taking us to some weird places. We aren’t sure if we like what we are becoming.

‍

To some crowdfunding and donation news. HonkHonk Hodl is supporting the truckers. They have raised quite a chunk of change so far.

‍

As has a DAO created to support Julian Assange!

‍

Our sponsors, SideShift.ai were doing their bit too. They donated towards Hope House at Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador.

‍

For those who want something technical to dive into. Here is some intellectual jousting between Emin and Vitalik.

‍

Too serious for you? On a scale of 1-10 how hot do you think female Vitalik is?

‍

And also on a scale of 1-10 how much would you pay for this to become a reality?

‍

Crypto is wild. NFTs are wilder. We are now minting blocks and selling them.

‍

All we know is that if you stick around long enough, Bitcoin has a habit of being a net positive on your life. LC Hodl can attest.

‍

He already had a wife but if you don’t, consider getting yourself some bags. Your sex appeal will go through the roof.

‍

We round this off with some great news. Craig is back on Twitter.
