Good Read - nails many of the foundational issues!! (access may require email sign up)
Currently, individuals have limited awareness and even less control over who has access to their personal data and how it is used, and this structural weakness is creating attractive targets for bad actors, and opening the door to an explosion in fraud - notably in Crypto.
New calls that control over access to personal data belongs to the individual, not to banks, technology platforms or even the government.

Standard pump-and-dump scheme leveraged the promotional power of Melania Trump and Argentina’s President Javier Milei to snag unwitting investors.
Investors have filed a class-action lawsuit (amended twice so far) in the U.S. District Court for New York, alleging that the $MELANIA token is part of a large-scale pump-and-dump scheme involving at least 15 other tokens, including $LIBRA and $M3M3.
The scheme allegedly inflicted millions of dollars in losses on unwitting investors. Scammers reportedly accumulated around one-third of $MELANIA’s total supply pre-launch before dumping them once retail FOMO kicked in. https://www.wired.com/story/melania-trump-used-as-window-dressing-in-elaborate-memecoin-fraud-legal-filing-claims/
But wait there is MORE!
Hours after being sued, 3 addresses linked to the Trump team received a $4.2M airdrop of $MET tokens from Meteora - a crypto exchange operated by the scammers. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meteora-gave-trump-team-4-091931328.html #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #$Melania #PumpDump #ClassAction #Lawsuit #CryptoFraud #$MET #Tokens #DigitalAssets #Meteora #CryptoExchange #MemeCoin
