We Finalized the sale of a business today. Official announcement scheduled for Monday. Stay tuned . @Acquire_Fi #web3 #crypto

🚨Scam Alert! Scarry scam link passed virus total check. Someone sent me a malicious link this morning. I ran it through VirusTotal before clicking. 0 out of 95 security vendors flagged it. Every single one came back clean. The link was not clean. It was a fake Microsoft Teams URL designed to download a trojan on your machine. This matters because most people in crypto treat VirusTotal as the final word. If it passes, they click. That assumption is now being weaponized. Attackers are building malware that specifically evades automated scanning, knowing that is the check most of us run. The domain was teams.ms-meets.co. Not microsoft.com. Close enough to scan past at normal reading speed, clean enough to pass every security tool available to the public. The rest of the setup was standard: Telegram outreach, vague pitch about synergies, a real Calendly booking to build trust, then the payload link sent right at call time when you are expecting to click something. VirusTotal passing is no longer a green light. Check the actual domain. Real Teams links come from teams.microsoft.com only. Anything else, regardless of what the scanners say, treat it as hostile. This is being run against people in Web3. Founders, operators, investors. Be careful out there.

Quite terrifying

Catch me in another amazing spaces by @GammaPrime_Fi live now!

@LiquityProtocol M&A jokes. Love it

BREAKING: Circle has acquired Liquity. This acquisition will enable Circle to offer its users a non-freezable stablecoin and directly distribute yield under the Clarity Act.

Deciding if I should head to ETHcc for just the week. Already have some meetings lines up. Looking for more insight

Available all week to discuss M&A, OTC and Secondary deals in the space. Looking to meet buyers, sellers and industry insiders @Acquire_Fi

@AlexWearn @katanaperps Excited to have been apart!

Nine years ago we launched IDEX with a simple thesis: onchain trading didn't have to be slow, clunky, or unsafe. Today that infrastructure becomes @KatanaPerps.

Advised IDEX on its sale to Katana as principal at Acquire.Fi. They are now Katana Perps. Native on-chain perps integrated into the Katana App, backed by @GSR_io, @SeliniCapital , and @Auros_global at launch. @katanaperps @katana We sourced and ran the full process. Good team, right home. cryptopolitan.com/katana-acquire… perps.katana.network

Scam Alert!!! New phishing vector targeting crypto conference organizers and speakers. The scam: -Impersonates conference organizers (this one fake ETHCC) -Uses sites.google.com to build fake booking pages -Google domain = instant trust and credibility -Asks you to "schedule a call" via fake booking link -Likely harvests calendar access, email, or deploys malware Red flags: -Real booking link is a subdomain (calendly.com/name, cal.com/name) sites.google.com is just a webpage builder, not a booking tool -No legitimate conference uses Google Sites for speaker coordination -Unprofessional Telegram outreach The Google brand creates false trust. They're weaponizing it. Stay sharp.

@SimplicityWeb3 Thats a lot of Alpha!

@simonthekid_ @JerryPPB Man that another! Thanks for sharing man

@FryeCryptoGuy @JerryPPB There’s another one going around for today aswell. How is this even listed on the official calendar…

SCAM ALERT #2 - ETHDenver Another sophisticated attack targeting conference attendees. The Setup: -Fake "TECHNO NIGHT" party posted on Luma for Feb 18 -Real venue (Club Vinyl) but not actually booked -Timed perfectly for first night when late-night options were limited -Professional branding, targeted at degens The Scam: -Accepted all registrations -Sent email requiring NFT mint for entry (Is also on the event flier) -Fake Moongate site: moonsgates.xyz (real is moongate.id) @Moongate -AI-generated static HTML, near-perfect spoof -When you "mint," you sign a transaction that drains your wallet The Result: -Dozens of confused attendees outside a closed venue on the cold Denver street -Empty wallets -No party vibes This is the second major scam reported this week at ETHDenver Protection Basics: -Never sign transactions for event access - If you do, use a burner wallet -Verify URLs character by character -Never click Zoom/meeting links from unverified sources -Use a burner wallet for any minting -If it requires a signature to RSVP, it's a scam These attacks are getting absurdly good. AI makes it trivial to create convincing spoofs in minutes. The scammers target conference attendees who are mobile, distracted, intoxicated, etc. They know the schedule. They know when people are looking for plans. Stay paranoid.

Excited to be joining Simplicity Group's accelerator program as a guest speaker for Week 5 on Fundraising. I'll be covering acquisitions and OTC deals - how to position your project for a successful exit and what buyers are actually looking for in 2025. Looking forward to sharing what we're seeing across 350+ mandates at @Acquire_Fi with the founders in the cohort. Thanks to the Simplicity team for having me.

@FOISummit stay safe!!!

@FryeCryptoGuy wow

SCAM ALERT!!!! By far the best phishing attempt I've seen targeting ETHDenver attendees. Here's the playbook: Setup: -Fake "Shorooq Closed-Door Dinner Network" on Luma -Professional branding, AI-powered screening process -Registration form harvesting contact and company details The Hook: -TG DM asking for Calendly to schedule "screening interview" -Booked via unmanned Shorooq email (hello@shorooq.com) -Premium verified TG account (+1 717-973-0455, @ShorooqCapital) -Asked specific, pointed interview question (AI-generated) -Sent fake Streamyard link: streamyard.ink (not .com) -Near-perfect HTML replica, likely built in 60 seconds with AI Red Flags: -Domain was .ink not .com -Deleted chat immediately when confronted What they wanted: Executable file download to steal wallets, accounts, credentials, etc The sophistication is insane. Premium TG, AI screening questions, pixel-perfect spoof site, perfect timing. If you registered: Don't click any links Change passwords if you did Alert your team The bar for phishing just went up 10x. These are getting harder to catch even for pros. Stay sharp. @ShorooqPartners

@gdlinux Man I think it will just keep getting more and more creative

@FryeCryptoGuy Great breakdown, @FryeCryptoGuy . The .ink vs .com domain swap is subtle but critical. Do you think AI-driven phishing tools will outpace browser security updates, or can the gap be closed?

@doktor_DeFi @vvvvnik 100% bro, never trust links

Scheduling a call to send a link to another call is your first tip off. No zooms. No software. The streamyard thing is creative bc it's web-based but completely odd to use for a call. Google meets only and never be afraid to politely refuse using other people's cal, stating its in the interest of your personal security. Anyone who is legit will happily comply. And if they are legit and wont budge, then its a waste of time anyhow, imo.

@constkogan its crazy bro

@FryeCryptoGuy Same happened with me an “Pantera Capital”..
