Thanks. I'm never sure about the #Feds on the Fed.
Prez #Drumpf & #Hegseth say #Feds to deploy troops including #Marines to Los Angeles after continuous weekend #protests against deportations. On Sunday AM #DJT took to #SocialMedia complaining in ALL CAPS about wearing of masks by civilian protestors.
President's pronouncement of “MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests" on Drumpf Soshill implys he believes masking illegal, while making no mention of use of similar masks by #ICE agents snatching people off streets has become notably common.

If a citizen runs a crypto exchange, they get indicted.
When the FBI runs the exact same system, same methods, same site, they call it “evidence gathering.”
The hypocrisy isn’t accidental.

Selling cryptocurrency isn’t a crime, but when federal prosecutors decide to target you, legality won’t save you. This case shows how lawful activity can be rebranded as criminal once the government wants control.

German and Dutch authorities, the BKA and FIOD, have shut down the eXch crypto swapper, stealing 34 million Euros, seizing the infrastructure, and now having access to any historical data rendering most coins tainted.
It is still surprising to me how many non-KYC exchanges and swappers host their infrastructure in a country like Germany, which is a country that is known to be highly hostile and aggressive towards crypto as a whole and has led several operations to shut down dozens of different swapping services within the past year.
Furthermore, if you do run a swapping service, the only real solution to hide your infrastructure is to make it accessible only as a hidden service or an eep site, if you favor i2p over tor. Either way, the days of hosting these services via the clearnet are long gone and it seems like many of the service providers still haven't taken note of this. Getting a hidden service going isn't particularly difficult, especially when you look at the additional level of security and privacy you derive from it.
For anyone intending on swapping coins, my recommendation is to use P2P services like RetoSwap (Haveno) and Bisq instead of the swappers. The swappers are much quicker and easier to use, but they have a tendency to log any and all data, which likely remain unsecured. If the feds go after them, you can almost be guaranteed they will get access to that data, which taints any historical and present coins you got from the service. If you absolutely have to use one of those services, access them via Tor and use Monero when swapping. Don't exchange clear coins for other clear coins, otherwise you're placing yourself at risk without the ability to mitigate it in the future.
Official message issued by FIOD and BKA:
> To users of the recently dismantled cryptocurrency exch.ange,
>
> *****This message is issued by the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD) and the Bundeskriminalambt (BKA).
>
> The service has been taken offline as part of our enforcement action.
>
> We are actively investigating individuals involved in money laundering and other illegal activities through this swap service.
>
> Some question actions from law enforcement regarding crypto services. We want to make one thing clear: this action is not an attack on privacy. We respect the right to privacy and recognize its importance in the digital age. However, when services are heavily abused to commit crime, we will act.
>
> We urge everyone involved in illicit activity to cease immediately. The legal consequences can be serious. Our mission is to protect the integrity of the financial system and hold those who exploit it accountable.
>
> Privacy is not the problem - criminal misuse is.
>
> Sincerely,

This is about right-wing militia types threatening to blow up Nat'l Weather Svc radars they think are used to control storms. Check out the video of the fed agent talking to the guy making the threats (around the 7:39 mark), and then just fucking imagine what the response would be like if these guys were Muslims, Black, anarchists, environmentalists, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWE5YVG31gA

Police identified Adam Lansky through a mix of license plate lookups & fingerprints left on wine bottles used for Molotov cocktails. Lansky allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at Cybertrucks @ a Tesla dealership in Salem (Oregon) on 1/20 & allegedly shot at the same dealership on 2/19 w/ a suppressed semi-auto rifle. https://www.404media.co/email/8fbe3b8c-d43b-46d6-bd79-5627a73e6cd6 #Surveillance #cameras #tesla #Feds #FedsWatching #panopticon
🚨 Wow, breaking news! The #Feds just caught up to what security researchers discovered nearly two years ago: #LastPass really did get hacked in 2022. 🤯 So glad the government finally put two and two together—next they'll be telling us water is wet! 💧🔍

So if my understanding of this situation is correct…
1. Trump and Elon sling a bunch of bullshit about how #Federal workers are being paid to do nothing.
2. Trump and Elon illegally fire a bunch of said federal workers.
3. Court correctly points out that’s illegal and says they should be reinstated with back pay.
4. Trump and Elon have now… paid a bunch of federal workers to do no work. Instead of letting them just do their thing.
True business geniuses at work.
