Crypto Lawyer

Someone purporting to represent @DRWTrading and @CantonNetwork, allegedly named Joseph Hable, is reaching out to me through LinkedIn with a pdf masquerading as a legal notice, I believe allegedly to attempt to silence me given I have publicly expressed skepticism about the chain. Allegedly, though, as I think DRW's lawyers should know this is not a great tactic, so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt if this is, for instance, the North Koreans attempting to hack me, and will update this post accordingly if so. So here are some questions and thoughts: 1 - You guys, if you are actual lawyers, know that LinkedIn is not a valid venue for service in NY state, and that the registered agent of my business is readily available public information. Is this an imposter on LinkedIn, or is this you guys being incredibly sloppy and trying to intimidate me? Either way, nobody should be opening unsolicited files sent on LinkedIn, as general security advice. Especially not if you work in crypto. 2 - You're dealing with one of the most 1A aware people in all of crypto (and, bad news for you, I am an American living in the states), and everything I have said is public and either a statement of opinion or based on publicly available facts. We both know what the actual standard for defamation is. 3 - As a generic statement, leading with attempts to stifle critics through speech-related threats is a long-time tactic of financial scammers. This is not a specific allegation against DRW or Canton, but certainly you now have my full attention and I will be looking much more deeply into your activities, reporting on them, and commenting on them, as this sets off several red flags for me that have been associated with bad actors in the space. Good luck and I look forward to your respsonse.

🇪🇺🇳🇱 DUTCH COURT OF AUDITS FINDS "NO UNDERSTANDING" OF EFFECTIVENESS FOR AML APPROACH The Dutch Court of Audits has published a paper on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) in banking, finding that "there is no understanding of the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering approach." The paper states that "it is not clear whether the increasing controls by banks actually contribute to the prevention and detection of money laundering," while highlighting the significant costs imposed on banks. According to the court, AML measures are discriminatory particularly towards people with foreign surnames, stating that the lack of proven effectiveness of the measures "does not establish that this distinction is justified." The court plans to put its research into EU perspective later this year.

@Still2Enjoy1821 @Azeri_Mamedov @FizuliJ @mattyglesias U got rekt buddy

@Azeri_Mamedov @FizuliJ @mattyglesias You cannot answer the question. Again, if Aliyev cares so much about international law why does he support Turkey and Israel occupying other countries' territory?

It's interesting that in the fall of 2023 there was a brief war between Armenia and Azerbaijan that led to the wholesale ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh and nobody thinks that's going to be undone and it's not considered a big deal in global politics.

@AzPetrich Kek

In Iran, if a 12 year-old girl is forcefully impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term or spend life in prison. Oops! My bad. I meant Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but banks wouldn’t be paying out $437 million in settlements if what was in the Epstein files was a hoax.

@_TomHoward Before mass adoption: go to jail because privacy tools, crypto only for criminals, debank anyone who uses crypto, crazy tax rules for crypto. All of these are topics being rewritten because of mass adoption. Not sure what freedom looks to you but we did not have it before.

@SweCryptoLawyer Rather be fringe and free than mass useless

“Mass adoption” is a memetic self psyop crypto fell for to compromise on all its values. All that matters for crypto adoption are the people that value their freedom. For everyone else, we will wait for them to discover the value of freedom.

🚨🚨Do not interact with the Steakhouse app until further notice. Our team has identified a phishing attack on Steakhouse domain (both app and website). No deposits are at risk. No contracts are affected. All Steakhouse depositors are safe. The issue may impact new users interacting with the malicious website served by the attacker. We are working to restore the frontend as soon as possible. We will communicate all updates asap.

@_TomHoward fair, but i would argue we as group are a minority - nonetheless should ofc fight for it

@SweCryptoLawyer I don’t care about mass adoption I care about people who value their freedom

Fundamentally, the core assumption of tradfi, is that people can’t be trusted with their own money or finances. It’s inherently paternalistic and I reject it entirely. Those that don’t reject that premise will always be enslaved. Canton is great tech for slaves.

rainy day in norway

Israeli soldier caught on camera telling CNN the IDF is helping settlers expand illegal outposts in the West Bank. They don’t even pretend anymore.

@_TomHoward Agreed x2, but in terms of mass adoption, i think this is important to remember. ppl want someone to fucking blame for their mistakes.

@SweCryptoLawyer They are basically slaves. That’s fine if they want that. I don’t want that for myself.

excited to share i’ll not be in cannes, the team is locked in liquid banking so you can get a public launch with $hype cashback very thoon very thoon

@banamlas @YuvalRooz No. We are not doing “better tech for tradfi”. We replacing tradfi. Let them cry about it.

@baronahmet @hussedogru @yanisvaroufakis Haha brother this is not it

@hussedogru @yanisvaroufakis When it comes to freedom of expression, Iran is now more flexible than Europe.

!!! HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY CALL !!! As of yesterday, German authorities seized the bank accounts of my wife. She is not sanctioned and has committed no crime. As of now we have only ca. 104 euros left — with two newborn babies and one 7-year-old child!!! @yanisvaroufakis @ClareDalyIRL @wallacemick @kennardmatt @Stella_Assange @PLottaz @Miquel_R @irezugasti @RSF_inter @amnesty_de @amnesty @_ZachFoster @CasparShaller @AliAbunimah @MaryKostakidis @der_neukoellner @SevimDagdelen @mkhalili @LaBase_TV @PabloIglesias @falasteen47 @EyeonPalestine @newscord_org @FWarweg @jungewelt @FuocoSavinelli @AlanRMacLeod @MintPressNews @wallacemick @_jneumann @amnesty_de @ChrisLynnHedges @IJFMedia @Fidias0 @johnnyjmils @goldi @CPJ_Eurasia @fehimtastekin @georgegalloway @euobs @AssalRad @OrenZiv_

@WhiteHouse Can you arrest Epstein’s co-conspirators instead of riffing on a porn site ?

“we use bloomberg here, potter. not yahoo finance like your friends the weasleys. they’ve probably never even seen a terminal”

@varrock Brother, do you use the same energy on jewish terrorist as muslim terrorist?
