@mook depends on how you define it.

#Monero works as a payment system - it doesn't replace #SWIFT but it's transaction volume exceeds #ALBA & #TransferRoubles by a long shot...

All the other #Shitcoins mostly exist as vessels for #Billionaires amd #Millionaires to commit #CapitalFlight and #TaxFraud if not all the regular #fraud schemes like #Ponzi and #ExitScam|s and #Rugpulls...

Checking AlphV's site today, they appear to be back online, but other than the API, there is no content .Their qTox status has been changed to "Everything is working."

DataBreaches contacted the admin on qTox to ask whether the site was really working and about the previous content -- whether it would be restored or was all gone. Admin ALPHV answered:

фдд цщкл
all work
files remove
all

I followed up: "So all of the old posts and data are gone? You are starting over? "

Admin ALPHV replied:
"All new only"

So it looks like they probably did lose everything they had, which may well result in affiliates who didn't get paid jumping ship and going to other groups.

And so far, there is still no statement from DOJ (I've just sent another request).

It's seems highly likely that this was law enforcement-related, but belief is not proof.

In other ransomware drama, some folks on a Russian forum have accused NoEscape of pulling an exit scam and cheating them of money. One noted they had also removed their forum deposit. NoEscape's status on the forum has been changed by the moderator.

Welp, looks like I'm out a fair bit of money and product that I ordered from Mechs & Co. No joy charging back and they are just digging deeper from what information has been given. Simply put, I am very upset that they are likely to get away with this and if not, lawyers will probably be the only ones making money.

@EposVox Also it really is a kick in the face like #AdPocalypse on #YouTube did as collective punishment.

I still have ~ €5 rotting in my #AdSense since #YouTube pulled that type of #ExitScam shit on my channels [ cooking.alternative.yt computing.alternative.yt gaming.alternative.yt & thinking.alternative.yt ] and I literally have no recourse nor ability to get that paid out...

@daniellaufer Das mag zwar eine Verknüpfung sein aber statistisch gesehen ist das auch recht wahrscheinlich.

Schließlich sind Betrügereien alla #OneCoin nicht isoliert von anderer Kriminalität.

Ich glaube eher dass #Ignatova nen #ExitScam gepulled hat und wie #Marsallek mit 8-9 - stelligen Summen abgetaucht ist.

Dafür kann Mensch ne Menge an sich machen lassen und wenn diese in Freiheit lebt wird diese auch das entsprechend getan haben.
