According to the latest rumor, some Asian darknet overlords are responsible.

They have billions in non-fungible digital money, and they are moving it into Monero because the Alphabet boys came down on them.

Haowang Guarantee was larger than the Silk Road, larger than Hydra, just the “largest illicit online marketplace to have ever operated”, with $27 Billion of transactions since launching in 2021.

    Epic trolling, I hadn’t heard about that.

    The hackers that dare troll the alphabet boys are either opsec noobs or god-tier.

    But most of the god-tier opsec hackers know that the game is about not pissing off the alphabet boys too much, otherwise they will invest more and more in catching you, and you just need to slip once…

      A Coinbase data breach filing with the Maine Attorney General finally gives us some more detail than Coinbase’s vague “less than 1% of monthly transacting users”. 69,461 people were affected, and Coinbase says the data breach occurred on December 26, 2024.

      “69,461”, that’s like so close to the expected “69,420” lol, maybe just a coincidence, or they got a bit too greedy and added an extra 41 cases or some more insider fuckery got in the mix too, or could also just be a coincidence, who knows

      not sure an opsec vs the alphabet boys even a possibility either tbh, they always end up getting fucked on the most dumbest shits
