#CryptoScamSurge $BTC #BTC่ตฐๅฟๅๆ While a period of dรฉtente seemed to be emerging between the two giants, it now appears that the hatchet has once again been unearthed. Indeed, China has just made a serious accusation.
According to Beijing, Washington has simply stolen the equivalent of $13 billion worth of Bitcoin!
The background of the case
It all dates back to 2020, when Chinaโs largest Bitcoin mining pool, known as LuBian, was hacked. During this cyberattack, 127,000 Bitcoins (worth roughly $13 billion at todayโs value) vanished.
In 2024, after several years of inactivity, these stolen funds began to move toward digital wallets allegedly linked (according to some experts) to the U.S. government itself.
That was enough for China to accuse the hackers of having received active support from the United States of America. But things became clearer in October 2025, when the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed the seizure of those Bitcoins as part of a large-scale fraud investigation.
One of the main figures involved was a certain Chen Zhi โ also known as โCZโ โ the head of a Cambodia-based group suspected of massive cryptocurrency manipulation.
According to WSJ, Elon Musk has quietly paused plans to launch his own political party.
Instead, Musk is focusing on Tesla & his companies โ while signaling potential support for VP JD Vance in the 2028 U.S. presidential race.

๐ Muskโs influence isnโt just business โ itโs shaping U.S. politics & markets too.
