$BTC $ETH Let’s ease everyone’s nerves with some off-topic news.
Just saw a major piece of on-chain/legal intelligence.
Empire Market co-founder Raheim Hamilton was sentenced to 40 years in prison by a federal court in Chicago and fined $5 million. The platform operated from 2018 to 2020, generating nearly $375 million in drug sales, all through cryptocurrency.
Here’s the key point: He agreed to forfeit about 1,230 coins, $BTC 24.4 ETH, and three properties.
In the long run, this kind of forced forfeiture is positive: selling pressure will be locked up by regulators. Don’t let short-term sentiment sway you.


Another co-founder, Thomas Pavey, pleaded guilty last year; his sentencing is still pending. #比特币重复使用地址持有433万枚btc #以太坊升破2500美元 #比特币跌破8.1万美元
