🧠 Epstein might have laundered money through Warcraft
Jeffrey Epstein — a scandalously famous financier and investor — used an unusual scheme to hide the origins of his funds. It is likely that his money was 'washed' through the economy of the game World of Warcraft.
The mechanics were simple but effective. Real money was first exchanged for in-game WoW gold, then the funds passed through dozens of accounts and in-game transactions. After that, the gold was converted back — the chain of transfers became practically untraceable.
Why did it work? The in-game economy generates huge volumes of ordinary transactions, among which such transfers easily 'get lost'.
Additional context: alongside this topic, the name Steve Bannon comes up — former advisor to Trump and a major figure in American politics. In the 2000s, he actively worked in the online gaming and virtual currency business. Theoretically, he could have been involved in this scheme.
Кийосаки готов купить биткоин при падении до $6000
Автор бестселлера «Богатый папа, бедный папа» Роберт Кийосаки заявил , что для него ключевое значение имеет не время входа в рынок, а цена и ценность актива. По его словам, его реальная точка входа была около $6000.
Он подчеркнул, что если рынок вновь обвалится до этих значений, он не будет сомневаться и докупит BTC. Параллельно инвестор готов увеличивать позиции и в золоте.
According to CoinShares, only 10,200 BTC are subject to quantum risk — old addresses, the compromise of which will not have serious consequences for the price.
To break BTC cryptography, quantum computers need to be 100,000 times more powerful than the current ones, which is unlikely to be created in the next 10+ years👨💻
This week, the market is checking whether the scenario of a "soft landing" for the US economy continues. Three things are in focus: consumer demand, the labor market, and inflation – these will determine the mood of the Fed and the direction of the markets.
🔏 Retail sales Retail sales are expected to show a slowdown after strong months. Moderate data will confirm the cooling of demand. Strong growth will again raise the topic of overheating the economy and support the dollar, while weak figures will increase interest in risk assets.
📇 NFP The market is concerned not with the hiring itself, but with the balance: a slowdown in employment without a jump in wages is a positive scenario. Strong wages or unexpectedly robust hiring will reignite inflation fears, while rising unemployment will bolster expectations of Fed policy easing.
🔗 CPI Inflation remains the main trigger. Numbers within expectations will maintain the current balance. Acceleration will return a risk-off mode, while weaker data may trigger a new risk-on movement.
🔍 What to expect? The market now needs confirmation that the worst of inflation is behind, and that the economy is slowing down without a sharp downturn. If this is confirmed, risk assets will receive support.
🇻🇳 VIETNAM INTRODUCES TAXES: IS IT TIME TO GROW UP?
Guys, get with the program! The authorities in Vietnam have decided it's time to officially recognize crypto. But, as always, there's a catch — they want a 0.1% tax on every one of your trades.
Now trading any shitcoin is equated with securities operations. For whales, this is a drop in the bucket, but if you're used to jumping into every breakout with everything you have, that little bit will keep dripping to the government constantly.
- From each trade — minus 0.1%. - Crypto is now on par with stocks. - Full legalization under the guise of collections.
On one hand, this is cool — the market is coming out of the shadows. On the other hand, the retail investors are getting sheared even at the order stage. On Binance, we catch the x's, while the authorities are already preparing wallets for our profits. The main thing is that the next green candle is fat and covers all these taxes!
👇 So, guys, are you ready to fork over a percentage for legality, or will you be looking for ways to keep every satoshi?
🐳Whales are closing long positions and opening short positions in relation to retail
This is further confirmation that the rise of #BTC is likely to slow down and enter a consolidation phase, fluctuating within a range and building structure. This could well take a month or more, but I won't predict the timing.
💭3–8 weeks of sideways movement/correction before the next impulse — quite standard in such cycles.
As for altcoins, such an outcome would be positive, as trading opportunities will arise due to liquidity flowing there.
On June 11, 2016, before the match between the national teams of Russia and England at Euro 2016 in Marseille, a fight broke out between football fans. Hundreds of people were involved in the clash, and dozens were sent to the hospital.
The fans engaged in hand-to-hand combat and threw everything they could find at each other: chairs from cafes, bottles, stones. An Englishman, Andrew Beach, was injured, being beaten with iron rods, including on the head.
French police restored order in the city, and several people from both sides were detained.
As a result of the clashes, three Russians were detained and sentenced to imprisonment for participating in the riots:
- Alexey Yerunov received 2 years, - Sergey Gorbachev — 18 months, - Nikolay Morozov — 1 year.
The men entered the establishment, saw the laid tables, sat down, and calmly began to eat.
Later, the hosts asked if the guests knew that this was a memorial dinner. The tourists were surprised, apologized, and thanked the family of the deceased for the treat.
But the story didn't end there. Two days later, it all happened again — this time with another group of travelers, who once again mistook the memorial for a gastronomic event.
The attempt to hit global trends turned into a real tragedy for Mariyana Barutkina from Yekaterinburg. The girl decided to repeat the viral dance in high heels to the daring track by Nicki Minaj, but one awkward movement turned the impressive video into a hospital room — the blogger suffered a spinal fracture.
The irony is that global popularity did come. Just not the type she dreamed of. Likes and reach are there, but the price is too high.
Currently, Mariyana is under medical supervision, and her case has become a harsh reminder to everyone who is willing to risk their health for a couple of seconds in the feed. Algorithms do not heal. And trends pass faster than consequences.
Doctor Emmett Brown from the movie 'Back to the Future' created the Mandalorians.
Have you ever wondered how the 'Back to the Future' film series is connected to the series 'The Mandalorian'? We think not, and that's a shame. Because in one of the episodes of the series, actor Christopher Lloyd appears, who also played the scientist nicknamed Doc in the 'Back to the Future' movies.
And this, in turn, means that the old man slightly lost his mind when he was sitting in the DeLorean DMC-12, which is not just a car, but a time machine. As a result, he traveled so far back in time that he ended up in a galaxy far, far away. As a result of his time antics, the first clan of Mandalorians appears. They revered him as a god and named themselves after him. Because he is the 'Man in DeLorean'.
Isn't that something? Live for a century — be amazed for a century. Now the lore of the Mandalorians has become much more interesting and thought out.
🎬In childhood, many noticed that Jamel Debbouze often hides one hand in movies. This is not a stage trick or an image— the reason is much more serious.
At 14, Debbouze suffered a severe injury to his right hand. He was running across the railway tracks at the Trapp station with a friend and did not notice a train moving at about 150 km/h.
After the impact, his hand atrophied and stopped developing.
He was on a strict diet but continued to gain weight. The owner suspected that the dog was secretly eating somewhere and asked to keep an eye on him.
The investigation revealed something unexpected. Every day, Sachchan went to the train station, where he was a beloved local celebrity.
The film crew recorded how the dog entered various establishments, and the residents treated him with food. Sachchan had a whole network of voluntary feeders. That's why he was so well-fed.
RECT FOR SABUROV: WHY DOES HIS WIFE ACT LIKE A REAL WHALE?
Guys, get the situation: Nurlan Saburov was brutally liquidated abroad, and while he is experiencing the most unpleasant rect in his life on a hard couch, everyone was expecting drama from his wife Diana on a grand scale. Diana Saburova is not just a "celebrity's wife", but a real gem and the mother of two children, who has journeyed with Nurlan from an ordinary student to a "whale" of humor. She has always been his main "foundation", but now her reaction to her husband's detention has left the hamsters on social media utterly stunned.
While the comedian waits for deportation like the longest red candle, Diana is calmly living her life and is in no hurry to create a hysterical flood of tears on Instagram. Everything looks highly suspicious, as if she has insider knowledge that Nurlan will soon break even. Diana demonstrates such a "cold wallet" of feelings and breaks all behavioral templates that it is immediately clear—this girl knows the rules of the game in the media field better than many traders on Binance.
So, what do you think: is it iron composure or did Diana simply decide to lock in the profit from freedom while her husband is temporarily "out of the game"?
