A Florida teen just got arrested for Twitter’s huge hack
UPDATE: 3:30 PM EST — According to the U.S. Department of Justice, two other individuals — 19-year-old U.K. resident Mason Sheppard and 22-year-old Florida resident Nima Fazeli — have also been charged for their alleged participation in the hacks.
Knew that the hack can't involve just one person. They are group that must have been planning the hack for long. So many offences for a 17yo kid, Twitter should be ashamed about how it happened. Heads up to the kid or maybe the hackers because only a genius would pull such huge stunts

They must have found something suspicious about your account or you made a transaction that violated terms or one of the traders that sent you cash have some kind of suspicious transaction which was linked to your account. You should ask them what the reason is and if there is a possible solution.
No one here can give you solution.

Nice list. I'm bookmarking this for future purpose. Most of these merchants do not operate globally, they are only providing services in the US or Europe.
At this stage of recognition, I think it's still a better development. Most merchant that base on fiat doesn't even offer there service to most region. We should should also participate in making it reach more region if we can.

This isn't the first time I'll see this happen to a project bounty manager. They always think they are smart. Now the bounty manager has to pay for gas fee for a token that may worth nothing. A project that violates agreement shouldn't be trusted. They deserve the negative tagging.

Yeah some exchange and even mobile wallets required more fees than it used to be in converting fiat to crypto and sending to other wallet, and the confirmations also take too long to confirm than the usual, but usually if i gain some of my profits in trading i wait until the fees become lower and when i'm sending it to my wallet, sometimes i usually choose xrp or xlm because of the lower fees and a bit faster confirmations. And just like you said maybe gather your funds up to 300 or something or choose some good exchange with lower fees.

For me that is too technical, reading and analyzing what and when should I take profits and loss, so I usually do swing trading and get a decent amount of profits but also some small losses, I'm an amateur in trading so buy low and sell high is compatible with someone like me, I usually gain 60%-100% but it depends on how many days I'll wait. I get lucky on the altcoins which some twitter users shill and do my own research, you can try that too, find some low cap coin and fill your bag and sell when you got your ideal profit. So for me, I'm making my trades profitable through doing my own research about my investment, patience, and beginner knowledge about trading.

should I go bigger and put more in or still go small ? because this looks really promising to me . am I missing anything here ? does everyone makes this profits at first ?
It's good that you gather knowledge first before entering trading, because its the common misconception among newbies trying something they don't know that's why they loss their investment easily, if you know your stuffs you can double the investment but it depends on you on how much loss are you willing to take, it's very volatile so make a stop loss, and experience is a great thing if you harness the skills, knowledge, patience and your intuition you can take decent profits from it.

First, you need to have a mindset that gambling in a casino is not a way to have money, don't gamble what you cannot lose, and gamble responsibly.
Casinos are very risky but sometimes it pays well to but you need patience when betting, there are a bunch of games in casino and my strategy in winning is patience and don't be greedy, starting on betting slow and taking profit slowly that way, and setting up a goal when cashing out at an acceptable amount but sometimes i get greedy and lose what i profit and even lose all my money so don't be greedy and cash out some profit.

There are also some instances in Facebook where they will make a post and your facebook profile being tagged and also your profile picture being shared there indicating that you won their huge giveaway even though you didn't participate in their fake event, I think many newbies will also fall for that trick especially when the reward is high and the fee you need to pay is not even 10% of the prize.

This is clearly a scam because no admin would DM for such sensitive info. Even if it's a really the admin, you still need to be careful because humans are known to change. The admin account could have been hijacked too, who knows? Lol... he even said you will only lose 90% and not all.

What happen with your previous Blocklancer project?
Nice bursting right there. Thread isn't even professional and not attractive. Imagine being in search of a co founder that should ideally have funds to finance developers. No one in his/her right sense would want to sign any partnership after going through this thread.

Coinbase has full regulatory bank status in cryptocurrency. They watch your every move and regulate transaction and can block transactions to blacklisted addresses and exchanges. If you want any level of financial freedom that crypto can provide, stay away from Coinbase.
This isn't new if you don't know that already. If you don't want to be monitored, then you should avoid using the exchange. Other exchange are also regulated. It's good for the exchange but bad for users. They have been taken over by so many government policies.

Sorry for the 500$ because that's what it is to me. You should have figured it out that it was a scam when you were asked to send additional 1000$ as a fee. The scammer are somewhere laughing at your level gullibility. Next time, run away or avoid any conversation about money doubling if you don't want this to repeat itself.

Looking at it from the Author's perspective, I think he/she is surrounded by people with the get rich quick mindset and loves ponzis which Bitcoin is unfortunately one of their payment method. If anyone without a proper knowledge lose to such scheme, BTC will be the one blamed because it's not legal anyway. Idiots like them won't say PayPal or Perfect Money scammed them if assuming that was the payment method used. Just don't argue with them because you can't easily change such mindset m

Created a thread and disappeared. Lol. they said person who got $700 received and spent it...
If that's the case, then something is wrong from your girlfriend's side. Either her clipboard was hacked or she pasted a wrong address. There's no solution because no transaction can be reversed on the blockchain. You and your girlfriend need to be careful next time.

I haven't used anything similar to this before but telegram is a very dangerous place to trade since it's anonymous and difficult to tell who is who. Copycats might want to use your telegram bot name to scam and it won't be good for your reputation. It's better you continue doing your transactions here on this forum

A promise of a lifetime earnings is just there to deceive the gullible ones. Nothing like lifetime earning, failed ponzis and pyramid schemes also made fake promises like this one.
I'm not suprise people still fall for this one, it's easy this days to trick some people by just flaunting wealth on social media or editing a picture. They forgot that they are just early that are also looking to earn commissions from their investments

An exchange wallet like Binance won't help in this case, even exchanges in general because of their withdrawal minimum and transfer fee. A wallet like Mycellium or Electrum is very handy here. You can customize your fee and send micro payments.

Actually, what you need to do is either move on or sell so that you don't lose all. Try to get something back to your pocket rather than lose all. You are so fortunate that you lost only $90 for a worst nasty coin. But there are many newbie who are already lost their hard-earned penny millionth of worth. Even I also lost more that $10,000 in terms of value and also faced the hackers hacking in my account and they theft my another $10,000 worth of crypto. So, be patience and invest wisely and ultimately, I suggest you keep your crypto in a safe place.
And how much would count a reason amount that would classify it as a big amount of lose. Very wrong to say that. Your 10,000$ is also nothing compared to what others have lost if that's the way you want it.

It's a good thing to see them showing interest but how soon is this going to happen? They are going to focus more on bettering their institution after this pandemic because they never really cared about crypto and all they are looking for is to regulate people's fund.
