#Tether now owns more than 10% of #Juventus Football Club. Guess they ran out of other places to launder their blood money.

Ok y’all, we’ve talked about stock market manipulation and we’ve talked about crypto fraud and the First Crime Family, but have we talked about Howard Lutnick and how money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?

The Cryptocalypse Chronicles has a multi post series, of which part two is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether, and does business with gangs and sanctioned individuals and nations like Hamas, North Korea and Iran, and funds #pigButchering scams and illegal weapons and drug trades.

1/ the fact that #Tether never took any action before today to block the world's foremost russian #ransomware laundering crypto exchange (#Garantex) from using their #USDT token tells you everything you need to know about Tether (and therefore about Trump's Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick, who manages Tether's money).

IMHO the fact that this is happening now suggests that the Trump administration has already made some kind of deal with #Putin.

Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick has “divested” his control over his firm #CantorFitzgerald by naming his two 20 something year old nepo baby sons to run one of america’s larger investment banks (and possibly the world’s largest provider of banking services for criminals and rogue nuclear states, because Cantor manages assets for #Tether).

welcome to the #meritocracy.

Trump cabinet member #HowardLutnick's¹ $135 billion crypto-bank-for-criminals #Tether has two options:

1. submit to an audit like any normal financial firm

2. lose the entire EU customer base, representing a pct of global GDP comparable to the US or China

the fact that they chose #2 tells you everything you need to know about tether.

notice also that #Kraken and #CryptoCom are delisting #Paypal's #stablecoin #PYUSD... wonder what that's about.

¹ It was widely reported that Lutnick's firm #CantorFitzgerald, which manages Tether's assets, had taken a 5% stake in the co. but during his confirmation hearing he said there was only a "convertible bond", which is what the kids call "sus".

profit per employee comparison of:

- #Tether
- #Nvidia
- #GoldmanSachs
- #Meta
- #Apple

shows very clearly how profitable it can be to run a noncompliant bank / money laundry for terrorists, drug lords, and rogue nuclear states that derives 100% of its income from the government teat (especially when you put the owners of that noncompliant bank / money laundry in the White House and let them write their own financial regulations).

#HowardLutnick (part owner of #Tether, chairman of the #Trump transition team, billionaire owner of #CantorFitzgerald, and future Commerce Secretary of the US) made $216 million from Cantor last year as well as ~$128 million from other sources (mostly Newmark Group and BGC Group).. He's also an executive or board member of 818 different organizations (mostly small LLCs).

$200 million is a lot of blood money...

new article from #ZekeFaux in Bloomberg about the chairman of the #Trump transition team #HowardLutnick taking an ownership stake in "#Tether, the stablecoin used by drug traffickers, terrorists and scammers to move money around the world" and more specifically about $300 million in terrorist connected transactions:

> It turns out that particular crypto wallet was controlled by Sa’id al-Jamal, a financier of the #Houthi fighters attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea, according to the US Treasury Department... Still, he was able to use those crypto wallets to send and receive more than $300 million of Tether.

A company that the #Trump transition team chairman and future American Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is part owner of (#Tether) just invested most of a billion dollars in another company Howard Lutnick’s firm Cantor Fitzgerald is the largest holder of (Rumble / RUM, the right wing alternative to YouTube favored by folks like #SteveBannon).

It's almost as though Lutnick has found a slush fund of a hundred billion dollars of Chinese money to pump into whatever publicly traded companies he'd like to pump and dump on the #MAGA base...

Recently indicted New York City mayor Eric Adams has lot of friends in low places.

Places like the Israeli and Turkish governments, the Trump administration, and Chinese crypto exchanges beloved by fentanyl traffickers.

Just scheduled the next episode of #TheCryptocalypseChronicles to go out tomorrow morning about the deep relationship between #NewYorkCity mayor Eric Adams and the #cryptocurrency industry, specifically to the company #Tether (of which #Trump transition team chairman and future American Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick is a part owner and long time money manager) but also to a shady crypto exchange in China called #OKX, with which Adams launched the #NewYorkCoin scam. Subscription link is in my bio.

tl;dr I fully expect Adams to get a presidential pardon.

SEC charged Cantor Fitzgerald, led by Trump’s Commerce pick Howard Lutnick, with breaking securities laws related to disclosures by blank-check companies before raising money from public. Cantor agreed to settle and pay $6.75mil civil penalty.

Settlement echoes $18mil settlement DWAC agreed to pay in 2023 after fraud charges for failing to disclose to investors DWAC had merger discussions with Trump’s then-private Trump Media.

locked out of my twitter / X account for "unusual activity". did three #arkose challenges but they all reported an internal error and now i guess i just have to wait?

i have to wonder if it's related to all the unfortunate information i've been posting about Elon Musk's favored candidate for U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Howard Lutnick (see my pinned toots if you missed that)...
