#triads — Public Fediverse posts

this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.

if you’re wondering about the dark forces driving the current war between thailand and cambodia, this is one of those forces.

fascinating deep dive on motorcades (车队) - the auxiliary players in the global #fraud industry who help pig butchers and other scammers move money through the banking system and #cryptocurrency.

i feel like there must be some linguistic reason these Chinese organized crime crypto money laundering companies always use the word "guarantee" in their names.

Also worth noting that Jacob Silverman and James Block (Dirty Bubble Media) were reporting on some of these Colorado based crypto scam companies a year and a half ago: https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/rocky-mountain-lie/

watching crypto bros who literally spent the last decade of their lives talking about "decentralization" and "uncensorability" make a hard 180 to "censorship by centralized entities is good, actually, because we're losing a lot of money" would be surprising if i had ever taken any of these clowns seriously.

"open source", "uncensorable", "decentralized" - it's all a farce. these guys believe whatever makes the number go up right now and nothing more.

p.s. #SamsonMow is also a #Tether bro who's probably literally on some chinese organized crime payroll.

both the russian mafia and the chinese mafia were well represented at Trump's inaugural #CryptoBall (along with the #Republican speaker of the house #MikeJohnson)

the #organizedcrime exchanges have also been rushing to list Trump's new memecoin #TRUMP.

@molly0xfff #GenesisBlock is the cash for crypto #FTX subsidiary outside of whose #HongKong office people were lining up with garbage bags full of cash every day for years according to reporting in The Financial Times.

connect the dots: it's the #triads (AKA "the chinese mafias") converting exfiltrated chinese flight capital into the $38 billion worth of #Tether that #SBF minted on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain.

Justin Sun AKA "The Crookedest Man in the Cryptoverse” (no mean feat), a Chinese organized crime connected crypto bro who has been indicted by the SEC for fraud, is now the largest investor in Donald #Trump’s #cryptocurrency project #WorldLibertyFi.

WorldLibertyFi is pretty transparently just a bribery scheme: if you want influence with the Trump administration you can buy #WLFI tokens and put money in his pocket. Unsurprisingly #Chinese organized crime wants a piece of that action.

Justin Sun is also the founder of the Tron blockchain which is where more than half of the $132 billion worth of #Tether tokens in existence live and where most of the super dodgy Tether action happens. Everything from slave trading to Iranian and Russian sanctions evasion to cartel money laundering goes on on Justin Sun’s blockchain.

@wendysiegelman Chinese organized crime groups decided to ante up for some influence in the Trump administration I see. #Triads

🚨 More than 600 people detained in massive raid on #pigbutchering¹ slave compound in #Cambodia supported by #Chinese police.

The #PRC has really started cracking down on #Triads and their slave compounds in SE Asia lately...

¹ this is a little bit of interpolation on my part; the news only mentions #cyberscams... but I've never seen a slave compound in #SEAsia that was not a pig butchering slave compound.

🚨 New #UnitedNations report confirms that kleptocracy is coming.

And of course all roads lead to #Tether, particularly on the #Tron blockchain, as some of us have been pointing out for years. Tether or USDT are mentioned 59 times in the 142 page report.

Recall the chairman of the #Trump transition team manages all this dark money: https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113086118854620924

Recall also that as of the collapse ~99% of the Tron #USDT was issued through #FTX and #SBF.

@da_667 i am testing out at around 85% which is barely enough to pass - i need to test out at 95% to have any real confidence - the last 10% is the toughest but really prospective infosec practitioners get a lot of support and everything is laid out, you just have to take a ton of sample tests and fix weak areas and keep going - psychologically it can be tough since you need a bevy of certs to really have a chance at being semi competent and well rounded but people just do need to slow down and take one step at a time, be rigorous/thorough #howtos #exercises #poc #praxis #saml #taxii #triads
