Since #Israel attacked #Iran Tether has frozen 112 blockchain wallets on Tron and Ethereum (the #crypto equivalent of freezing a bank account, usually on suspicion/proof of money laundering).

- Collectively those wallets received ~$700 million before being frozen
- The top 40 of those accounts are *all* on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain
- Iranian exchanges almost exclusively use #Tether on Tron for USD xfers. They even publicly instruct their users on how to avoid #sanctions
- The Iranian govt, including the #IRGC (a sanctioned #terrorist group), has long been rumoured to be among the Iranians using Tether to move money to their proxies like #Hezbollah and #Hamas
- Israelis hacked the largest Iranian crypto exchange #Nobitex for $90 million last week. Nobitex is the largest user of USDT that I know of in Iran
- Justin Sun is now Trump's biz partner (and #HowardLutnick has been Tether's partner for yrs)

@jakebrake @Lydie stablecoins aren't "mined" the way that bitcoin and eth are, they are just "minted" when the stablecoin's issuer pushes the "mint new stablecoins" button.

i'll spare you the details unless you really want to understand it but i wrote an explainer of what a stablecoin really is for (hopefully) non-technical people back in october: https://cryptadamus.substack.com/p/trumps-transition-team-is-tethered

also includes a lot of specifics on the way iran, north korea, chinese organized crime, and every other bad actor on the global stage has been laundering incredible sums of money with the help of the man donald trump made America's Secretary of Commerce (Howard Lutnick)

Predatory Sparrow group previously hacked Iran’s state-owned Bank Sepah has also hacked Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex and destroyed $90M. The stolen crypto included bitcoin, ethereum, doge, ripple, solana, tron, and ton.

The funds were drained from platform wallets into addresses bearing anti-government messages explicitly referencing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and were burner wallets — strongly suggesting the money was intentionally destroyed, not stolen for profit.

@evacide #nobitex got hacked for $90 million by the israelis and the IRGC is far more dependent on crypto to fund its operations than most people understand...

İsrail yanlısı hackerlar, İran’ın en büyük kripto borsasından 90 milyon dolar çaldı: Hackerlar, X (eski adıyla Twitter) üzerinden Farsça bir mesajla Nobitex’i hedef aldıklarını duyurdu. Paylaşımda, İran’ın bu borsayı uluslararası yaptırımları delmek için kullandığı öne sürüldü.

Uzmanlara göre çalınan kripto paralar, hackerların kendilerinin de erişemeyeceği dijital “cüzdanlara” aktarıldı; bu durum,… https://www.eshahaber.com.tr/haber/israil-yanlisi-hackerlar-iran-in-en-buyuk-kripto-borsasindan-90-milyon-dolar-caldi-234683.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon EshaHaber.com.tr #İran #KriptoPara #SiberSaldırı #Nobitex #Hacker

@neurovagrant @molly0xfff btw there's a lot of on chain evidence that suggests that #nobitex is mostly a front end for binance... this is something i did a seriously deep dive on a few years ago but never published, but either way a lot of txns from nobitex and other iranian exchanges seem to get forwarded to / executed on #binance.

Nobitex, Iran’s biggest crypto exchange, was hacked! 📉

Over $81M was stolen - mostly via the TRON network. The hacker group behind past attacks on Iranian infrastructure claimed responsibility and now threatens to leak Nobitex’s source code.
