Bankman-Fried has been reportedly sharing crypto investment tips with prison guards, per NYT. The disgraced FTX founder has been in a Brooklyn prison since August. Bankman-Fried is reportedly giving crypto investment tips and touting investments in the cryptocurrency Solana to prison guards, The Times reported on Tuesday, citing an unnamed source familiar with the matter."  I sold the Solana a little early, but after reading this I would sell it immediately

Are you talking like a real cash fiat ? If so to be honest I never exchange crypto direct into fiat but you might tried it and I actually didn't ever tried the Bestchange. I usually go to Binance Bybit and OKX to withdraw my crypto into fiat via P2P I'm talking about fiat. "Cash is king"!(C) P2P are bank transfers that will forever remain in your transaction history. And Bali is a very small island, and if you need cash, then you can come to the office and safely exchange cryptocurrency for cash. I know that Russians mostly work illegally and no one will ask you for documents during the exchange |

How wonderful American justice is, and how lucky are the criminals in the United States. You just have to admit your guilt, inform your colleagues, and get out of prison.
I would say that justice in the United States is very lenient and such cooperation is more an exception than a common coincidence. Thanks to the testimony of such a major criminal, the US law enforcement system will unravel many crimes and confiscate many more cryptocurrencies. If you are involved in crimes, you should know that your accomplice can then pass on information to the judicial system to reduce your prison sentence. |

https://www.theblock.co/post/279487/sbf-lawyers-prison-sentence"The defense team of Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of fallen crypto exchange FTX, requested a U.S. court to consider a sentence in the range of 63 to 78 months, according to a Tuesday court filing. “An appropriate method of arriving at a just sentence would be to consider the Adjusted Offense Level (Subtotal) of 56, reduced by 30 levels based on zero loss, which yields an advisory Guidelines range of 63-78 months,” the court filing said."

https://www.theblock.co/post/279500/irs-sulolit-mukherjee-seth-wilks-hires?"The Internal Revenue Service hired two private-sector experts — Sulolit “Raj” Mukherjee, JD, and Seth Wilks, CPA — as executive advisors to assist the United States’ tax authority’s efforts pertaining to crypto and digital assets, the agency announced yesterday. The IRS said the pair would help lead the agency’s efforts in “building service, reporting, compliance, and enforcement programs focused on digital assets.” Mukherjee is joining the IRS from a private blockchain software technology company where he was Global Head of Tax. The agency noted that he has more than ten years of experience in tax compliance and tax information reporting for financial institutions. Wilks, on the other hand, joins the IRS after six years of working in "the digital asset tax policy space" and prior extensive work "with tax compliance and planning issues related to multinational corporations and manufacturing, with a focus on complex supply chains, transfer pricing and cross-border transactions."

Blocking information on websites and social networks is almost impossible if you choose the North Korea route They are not looking at blocking information, they are looking at regulating ads. Since there are only a few gateways for that and most come from large companies like Alphabet and Meta you need to implement filters there, you whitelabel some companies that have nothing to do with those kinds or are to large to ever be involved in such schemes and you double filter the new ones. You don't need to police the whole internet you just have to filter the few thousands of new ads with new domains those are approving each day. Pretty doable, google can simply blacklist any site containing certain keywords if the ad isn't coming from a company registered with the FCA in this case, it's just that they didn't care till this point. I agree with your thoughts, but many companies filter ads using software and not all ads undergo human moderation. Therefore, very often cunning advertising managers find ways to circumvent these restrictions. Fraudsters are very mobile, and a large corporation is very slow and cannot quickly respond to vulnerabilities. |

@zasad@. If the information is true and if proven that CZ knows this or if he is directly involved on these occurrences on Binance then he can be sentenced for assisting terrorist groups on moving funds. However, the argument I was making is different. I am arguing more about the stablecoins being illegaly used for crime and terrorism or if an exchange CEO can be charged for terrorism if he has no knowledge of these occurrences.
Will Tether and Circle be complicit if terrorists uses USDT and USDC to move their money? Would it make the issuer of the dollar complicit if they used American dollars? Will Apple be complicit if they used iphones for terrorism?
I have already said that you and I think differently. You are right that in order to charge CZ it will be necessary to prove that he knew that his exchange was being used for illegal purposes. I give a past famous example of SBF and Caroline Ellison Look how quickly concepts are replaced, not a fraudster but a star witness Now back to the harsh reality in which CZ and his team broke a lot of laws. So, for the prosecution, you need to find several weak links in his team, who will become a star witness instead of the accused and will not be prosecuted. And these star witnesses will tell everything the prosecutors need, including that CZ knew that he was providing services to terrorist organizations. |

As expected the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF has started having a ripple effect on other countries. South Korean ruling party claims that it is targeting to attract more investors in the crypto sector. The party is also planning to extend the tax exemption from crypto income. This policy change is targeted are targeting young voters in the forthcoming elections. However,. politicians cannot be trusted because the are inconsistent. They usually make good or viable promises during the campaign but they might change their stance immediately after the election is won. These changes will affect to a greater extent spot Bitcoin ETFs and institutional investors, and this change is already regulated to the maximum by various laws. Non-custodial storage of cryptocurrencies and decentralized trading will be persecuted in many countries, regardless of the policy of spot Bitcoin ETFs. |

In those countries, where crypto transactions are not legal, people use the P2P exchanges to buy and sell crypto as in this way, the government does not know that they are dealing with crypto. That's the only option for those people and if you say that they should stop the P2P exchanges, then it means that they should quit crypto and wait for their country's conditions to become favourable for their crypto adoption.
What I am saying is that users should avoid P2P exchanges, because all data about these exchanges can be transferred to the tax authorities and all participants can receive large fines. In my country, for example, I do not exchange money on the exchange, but use the services of private exchangers. Here prices are 1-2 percent lower, but it is more reliable. |

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/hot-new-bitcoin-funds-could-soon-have-rivals/ar-BB1iXnFX"Wall Street firms launched bitcoin exchange-traded funds just a few weeks ago. Now, they want to offer everyday investors funds holding a smaller and more volatile crypto asset. At least 10 firms including BlackRock and Fidelity Investments have filed applications to launch what would be the first U.S.-listed ETFs holding ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency. As with bitcoin and other ETFs, the firms would earn management fees for any investments people make. Ether, the in-house token on the Ethereum blockchain, surged above $3,200 Tuesday for the first time since April 2022 in anticipation of the potential approvals. That gave it a market cap of about $390 billion, compared with bitcoin’s more than $1 trillion valuation."

zasad@, что касается стейблов, то у меня они все же в сети Трон, так сложилось, потому что мне на регулярной основе клиенты платят за фриланс именно туда. Сейчас во фрилансерской среде самые популярные расчеты именно в USDT trc20. А сеть эфира же интересна как раз разнообразной движухой на децентрализованных сервисах, в Троне и близко такой активности нет, можно даже сказать, что практически и нет. В принципе есть мост из Трона в Эфир, поэтому не проблема при случае стейблы и в сеть Эфира перегнать под те же ретродропы, аккаунты греть. А целенаправленный стейкинг я в их сети не рассматривал.
Я не имею ничего против трона, но была недавно новость https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198239.msg63699159#msg63699159USDC «должен вызывать доверие, быть прозрачным и безопасным», - заявляет эмитент стейблкоина, компания Circle. когда компапнии анализируют это https://tronscan.org/#/sr/representativesто они понимают риски и отказываются. |

klarki, я запрашивал. Конкретно МТС сказали, что они дают договор только один раз, когда оформляется номер и все. Вот такая тупая контора. Не знаю какие там плоды, если пользователь унаследует чужой номер, он тогда и данные бы менял чужие на свои в личном кабинете киви, а там сейчас это сделать уже нельзя, может быть и давно нельзя было просто так без подтверждения личности. Я не помню через какой сервис у киви было подтверждение данных учетной записи, может даже через Госуслуги. А если так, то что уж может быть надежнее. Вообще АСВ сказали, что на письмо будет ответ, вот и посмотрим что они ответят, может сразу деньги отдадут. Хотя я представляю сколько у них сейчас этих писем и сколько еще пришлют.
Держите в курсе, интересно посмотреть как работает АСВ на практике. У меня очень мало там было, из за этого даже писать не стоит. |

Потому что эфириум выглядит более децентрализованнее по сравнению с его конкурентами. Поддержка шикарная с аппаратными кошельками.
Если вы попробуйте на доте поторговать на аппаратнике на дексах, то вы меня поймете. Я свои награды за аукционы до сих пор на програмных кошельках держу.
Порой нет смысла валить в трон, потому что в полигоне стейблы тоже начали брать везде и нет смысла менять экосистему.

История про хитрого азиата: https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-exchange-mistakenly-sends-user-650k"Как сообщает ABC News со ссылкой на судебные документы, компания Rhino Trading, владеющая биржей OTCPro, в январе случайно зачислила пользователю $653 000 (995 000 австралийских долларов) — вместо $65 300 (99 500 австралийских долларов) из-за ошибки. Биржа утверждает, что после того, как 4 февраля она осознала свою ошибку, пользователь — Коу Сенг Чай — не ответил на электронные письма с просьбой вернуть средства. В судебных документах также утверждается, что пользователь якобы использовал часть ошибочно отправленных средств для покупки Tether и вывода их с биржи партиями по 100 000 долларов США (максимальный дневной лимит), в конечном итоге выведя около 626 700 долларов США (956 000 австралийских долларов) за 10 дней. Rhino Trading также утверждает, что во время одного телефонного звонка на номер, привязанный к его счету, ответивший человек сказал, что это не номер Чая. Чай также не явился в суд." |

Если проект нацелен на работу в юрисдикции США, не важно является он блокчейном или не, то он обязан принимать их правила игры. Ethereum как раз из таких. Без этого не было бы даже и мыслей о запуске ETH ETF. Если посмотреть на Monero, то там децентрализация процветает, т.к. команде плевать на регуляторов и их хотелки. Ликвидности у них хоть отбавляй, да и возможности по вводу/выводу средств имеются. А Ethereum скоро не ничем не будет отличаться от того же доллара, пожалуй только волатильностью. Скоро, это очень абстрактное понятие для эфириума. ЮСДТ и ЮСДС более централиливанны и блокировать там токены легче, чем в эфириуме, где нужно связываться со всеми валидаторами, чтобы они добавили адрес в черный список. Но пока там половина не готова соблюдать требования регулятора, так что проект пока рабочий. |

This will go on forever. P2P exchangers carry great risks for their clients. The very first thing to avoid is P2P exchanges on exchanges if cryptocurrency transactions are illegal in your country or you do not file documents with the tax authorities. The exchange itself will transfer all data about your exchanges to the tax office. The owner of the P2P exchange can be caught, and he will transfer all data about the exchanges to the tax authorities or other organizations that are engaged in financial monitoring. In the UAE, you can exchange cryptocurrency for cash without any problems. |
