"If you notice the people that are still doing, I mean not all of them but most of them, that do cryptocurrency videos I mean they're all pretty much just spreading a load of crap that's not true. Or at the very least speading a load of crap that makes people act a certain way, or think a certain way that something's going to happen and it more than often ends up not happening"

That explains the dump... Crypto Capital CEO (yes, the Bitfinex/Tether partner that allegedly will recover their $850m) was just arrested for money laundering

Here is the backround not covered in the artcile in 9 steps for you:
1 - Crypto Capital Corp (hereafter referred to as CCC) is a shell company that was posing as a payment processor for cryptocurrency exchanges throughout the world. If you've used an exchange, they've likely used CCC at some point in their existence.

2 - In January of last year, or possibly before, money was seized at a small community bank in Poland. Money launderers love small community banks because they can purchase equity in them and create an environment of lax capital controls.

3 - This is when it came to light that CCC's funds were mixed in with this Polish bank. And Bitfinex's funds were mixed in with CCC's - FOR SOME WEIRD REASON. Anyway, the president of CCC is/was Ivan Manuel Molina Lee (hereafter referred to as IMML).

4 - MML runs a consortium of offshore entities, along with family members. Some entities call themselves a bank, others pretend they're drilling operations, some are financial things, others nothing specific. There are dozens, if not hundreds of them.

5 - / Through use of these entities, directors, presidents, VPs, etc, IMML was able to move vast sums of money for criminals and others alike. The more normie money, the better. After all, that's the whole idea of money laundering: obfuscate with clean stuff.

6 - Do not for one second fool yourself into thinking that every exchange was unaware. If they did any due diligence whatsoever they'd quickly see that the people associated with CCC had been involved with scams before

7 - The reason IMML's arrest in Poland is important isn't because he is necessarily a VIP. IMML is just a central piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is money laundering through offshore entities, cryptocurrencies, and otherwise. His arrest could open a lot of doors.

8 - Of course, Reginald Fowler, the CEO of CCC, had already been arrested in the US (and released on bail) for similar charges. His accomplices are still at large and it doesn't seem like he's keen on talking.

9 - CCC was vast. They worked with everyone, they had operations everywhere - from Colombia and Panama, to Poland and Portugal. If you don't think it's important: you're wrong.

TOP-10 IEO Performance

We can observe the decline in the BTC price and the market capitalization decrease, but despite this fact, many projects continue to trade much higher than the IEO price.

Bitcoin analysts are predicting more gains after Friday's cray cray BTC bull run. Is $20,000 back on the table? What about $50k? How much does China matter? More inside.

Bitcoin Price Soars 42% to $10,500 — Biggest Daily Gain Since 2011

The last 24-hours have been an absolute roller coaster for Bitcoin price (BTC).

However, in the last hour, the asset has made a rather dramatic comeback. It has broken through several resistances to even exceed $9,500 which has not been reached for some time now.
