🚨 EPSTEIN FILES SCANDAL: DOJ FORCED TO DELETE THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS 🚨
The U.S. Department of Justice has quietly removed thousands of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents from its official website after a catastrophic failure in redaction exposed victims’ identities.
⚠️ According to victims’ lawyers, nearly 100 survivors were affected when files released on Friday included:
Unredacted email addresses
Names and identifiable faces
Even nude images linked to potential victims
What was meant to be transparency turned into retraumatization.
🗣️ In a joint statement, survivors called the disclosure “outrageous”, stating they should not be:
“Named, scrutinized, or retraumatized yet again.”
📉 After backlash, the DOJ confirmed all flagged files were taken down, blaming the incident on “technical or human error.”
❗ Critical question remains:
How does an investigation involving one of the most sensitive abuse cases in modern history suffer such a basic failure?
This was not just a mistake —
it was a systemic breakdown of trust.
⚖️ Survivors were promised protection.
Instead, they were exposed.

🛑 Jeffrey Epstein and the "Founders of Bitcoin": What is real in the DOJ document?
The crypto market was caught by surprise with the resurfacing of an email from October 2016, now part of official files from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In the document (EFTA00815445), Jeffrey Epstein claims to have spoken with the "founders of Bitcoin".
🔍 What does the document reveal?
In the email, Epstein discusses radical ideas: the creation of Sharia-based currencies (Islamic finance) and the use of Bitcoin as infrastructure for these new digital currencies. He describes his interlocutors as "very enthusiastic".
⚖️ Facts vs. Speculation
It is important to keep feet on the ground and analyze what is real:
The document is authentic: The email really exists in the DOJ files.
Lack of confirmation: There is no evidence that Epstein actually met with key figures of BTC or if he was just trying to gain relevance (the famous "name-dropping").
The term "Founders": In 2016, Bitcoin was already decentralized. Epstein's use of this term may be an exaggeration or a simplification of who he actually contacted.
💡 Why does this matter today?
The most revealing point is not the conspiracy, but the fact that, already in 2016, financial elites and influential figures did not see Bitcoin merely as an "internet currency", but as a global strategic infrastructure.
While the public debated whether Bitcoin was a bubble, actors behind the scenes were already planning how to use its technology to shape new monetary systems.
What do you think? Did Epstein really have access to the core of Bitcoin development or was he just playing one of his influence games?

🔥 BREAKING: DOJ Seeks 20-Year Sentence for Celsius Founder Alex Mashinsky 🔥
In a landmark move, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has recommended a 20-year prison sentence for Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of the now-defunct cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network. This comes after Mashinsky's guilty plea to two counts of fraud, including commodities fraud and securities fraud, in December 2024. Federal prosecutors described his actions as a "deliberate, calculated" campaign of lies and self-dealing that resulted in billions of dollars in losses for customers.
📉 The Collapse of Celsius Network
Celsius Network, once a prominent player in the crypto lending space, filed for bankruptcy in July 2022 after halting withdrawals, leaving approximately $4.7 billion in customer funds inaccessible. Investigations revealed that Mashinsky misled customers about the platform's operations and manipulated the price of Celsius's proprietary token, CEL, to sell his holdings at inflated prices, profiting around $48 million in the process.
⚖️ Legal Proceedings and Sentencing
Mashinsky's sentencing is scheduled for May 8, 2025, where U.S. District Judge John Koeltl will determine the final sentence. The DOJ's recommendation of a 20-year term aligns with the severity of the crimes committed, aiming to restore public trust in the financial system and deter similar fraudulent activities in the future.
🧠 Industry Implications
This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the cryptocurrency industry.
📢 Community Reactions
The crypto community has been abuzz with reactions to the DOJ's recommendation.
As the sentencing date approaches, all eyes will be on the courtroom to see if the recommended sentence is upheld, marking a significant moment in the ongoing efforts to regulate and legitimize the cryptocurrency industry.

1️⃣ Argentine Congress Approves Probe into Officials Over Libra Scandal ‼️
Argentina's Chamber of Deputies voted Tuesday to advance three draft resolutions that would establish a special commission to investigate government officials connected to the Libra memecoin scandal. For context, the scandal has plagued President Javier Milei's administration since February. Milei faced calls for impeachment and fraud charges after he publicly endorsed the Libra token, which collapsed in value and caused damages to investors. The list of officials to be summoned as part of the investigation includes the country's chief of staff, minister of economy, minister of justice and head of the National Securities Commission (CNV).
2️⃣ Aavegotchi NFT Gaming Community Votes To Migrate To Base, Sunset Polygon Deployment ⚡️
The community behind Aavegotchi, an NFT protocol focused on Web3 gaming, has reportedly voted to migrate from its existing deployment on Polygon to Base, the Etheruem Layer 2 supported by Coinbase. As part of the move, Pixelcraft Studios, the development firm behind Aavegotchi, will sunset its “Geist” Layer 3. All Aavegotchi assets will be minted “1:1” on Base. The migration is expected to take four to six weeks, including an audit period.
In a proposal in February, Aavegotchi founder coderdan wrote,
Given the broader market downturn on alts, especially in NFT and gaming, Pixelcraft Studios recently made significant team cuts to reduce our burn and extend runway. The L2 market is becoming increasingly competitive, and the L3 market is not gaining significant traction. Although in theory it should not be important where you deploy your game, in practice eyeballs go where liquidity flows, and TVL on Polygon PoS has been sideways or decreasing ever since 2022. Thus, it is the right move for Aavegotchi to leave Polygon and either create our own chain, or join a growing chain with strong ecosystem support.
3️⃣ Ripple Acquires Crypto-Friendly Prime Broker Hidden Road For $1.25B 💰
#Ripple
Blockchain-based payments network Ripple has reportedly acquired crypto-friendly prime broker Hidden Road in a $1.25 billion deal, marking one of the largest mergers in the crypto industry's history. Notably, the deal will make Ripple the first crypto firm to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker. For context, Hidden Road currently clears more than $3 trillion across more than 300 institutions. Commenting on the acquisition, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse noted that the firm has been a customer of Hidden Road for years and “knows their breadth of expertise firsthand.” He also mentioned that Hidden Road’s $3 trillion in annual clearing will tap into Ripple-backed XRP and its underlying decentralised, public blockchain, the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly disbanding the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET). According to an agency memo circulated Monday evening, the crypto-dedicated enforcement team will no longer pursue criminal cases in several key crypto-related areas. This includes criminal charges against crypto exchanges, crypto mixing services, or holders of cold wallets for “acts of their end users or unwitting violations of regulations” unless those violations include crimes like embezzlement, scams, rug pulls, and hacks. Notably, in cases where a criminal enterprise like the Lazarus Group uses a crypto service to launder funds, prosecutors will only pursue the criminal enterprise itself, and “will not pursue actions against the platforms that these enterprises utilise to conduct their illegal activities.”

😳 FEDERAL DRAMA ALERT: COOKED OR COOK?! 🍳🔥*
*BREAKING: DOJ Opens Criminal Investigation Into Fed Governor Cook!* 🚨🇺🇸
Okay… this ain’t your average Fed meeting with charts and rate talk 😅 — *we’re talking full-blown DOJ action* now.
---
*🧨 What’s happening?*
The *U.S. Department of Justice* has received a *criminal referral* involving *Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook* — and they’ve made it crystal clear:
👉 *“We’re taking it very seriously.”*
This is not something we hear every day from the DOJ when it comes to *any* Fed official.
---
*😮 Why this matters (and why markets are watching):*
- The *Federal Reserve is supposed to be neutral and untouchable*. Any hint of misconduct shakes trust in U.S. financial institutions.
- If there’s actual wrongdoing, *it could have ripple effects on Fed credibility* — especially during a sensitive macro period (inflation, rates, elections…).
- Could lead to *resignations or a political storm* depending on what the referral is based on.
---
*🔮 Predictions & Possible Scenarios:*
- If this *escalates*, market confidence might wobble — especially in bond & forex markets.
- Could *distract Fed leadership* ahead of big decisions on rate cuts/QE.
- Might become *a political weapon* in election season 🇺🇸
- If cleared quickly → just market noise. But if it lingers… ⚠️
---
*💡 Tips for Traders:*
✅ Stay alert to volatility around DXY & treasury yields
✅ Monitor Fed calendar closely for any emergency briefings
✅ Don’t make trades *just* on this news — wait for confirmed developments
---
This story is developing — but one thing’s for sure:
*When the DOJ knocks on the Fed’s door… the market listens.* 👀
