Shortly after deployment, the wallet that seeded the FBI wallet deployed capital to multiple other wallets, making dozens of trades. FBI wallets own at least 75% of the token supply from what I can tell

From what I can tell, FBI-linked wallets have recently deposited to Tokenlon, Binance, Zixipay, and HTX.

Here is part of their portfolio if you want to copy trade. The FBI is long ETH

➡️ France's Interior Minister announced Omar bin Laden had been deported from a Normandy village he was living in after he was accused of glorifying terrorism on social media.

➡️ In a post shared on X early Tuesday morning, French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau accused Omar bin Laden of "posting comments on his social media accounts in 2023, which made an apology for terrorism".

➡️ Calling the matter "a decision of national security", the post did not detail when exactly Omar bin Laden had been deported nor reveal where he was sent to.

➡️ The administrative ban ensures that Mr. bin Laden cannot return to France, for any reason whatsoever," Retailleau said.

🇪🇺❌🇭🇺 Hungarian premier, Viktor Orban, speaking in Strasbourg at the European Parliament:

I came here to present the program of the Hungarian EU presidency. And you have turned this meeting into a party-political clash. I am deeply sorry, but I will not be indebted to you, or any of you. If we are attacked, I will defend my country.

🇪🇺❌🇭🇺 Ursula von der Leyen attacks Viktor Orbán over pro-Russia stance

Pointed speech by EC president in Strasbourg rebukes Hungarian leader for economic and political policies

Ursula von der Leyen has accused Viktor Orbán of a historic failure to support Ukraine, economic mismanagement and making his country a “back door for foreign interference” in her sharpest public rebuke yet to Hungary’s strongman leader.

Von der Leyen was speaking after Orbán set out the priorities for Hungary’s six-month EU presidency, in an address where he sometimes offered a fairly conventional noscript calling for less regulation and efforts to bolster the EU’s single market.

After Orbán lamented Europe’s declining share of global trade, von der Leyen took him to task for Hungary’s economic policies such as taxes that target foreign companies, export restrictions, “arbitrary inspections” and public contracts awarded to a small group of beneficiaries.

While Orbán attempted to cast himself as a strong defender of European borders, she said Hungarian authorities had released convicted people smugglers and traffickers early from prison, adding: “This is not fighting illegal migration in Europe, this is not protecting our union, this is just throwing problems over your neighbour’s fence.”

Referring to an agreement that allows Chinese police to patrol with their local counterparts in Hungary, she said: “This is not defending Europe’s sovereignty, this is a back door for foreign interference.”

And she criticised Orbán for failing to follow through on an EU pledge made in 2022 to end dependency on Russian fossil fuels. “Instead of looking for alternative sources [of energy], in particular, one member state just looked for alternative ways to buy fossil fuels from Russia.”

The Hungarian leader said he was surprised by what he had heard from von der Leyen and accused her of turning the commission into “a political weapon”. He rejected any comparison between the events of 1956 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while reiterating that the EU, he believed, had a “losing strategy” over the war.

“We are never going to accept that European unity means that you tell us what to do and that we should keep quiet,” he said.

📄 Crypto Market Review Q3-2024 by Bitwise

(Very interesting btw)

The report also captures the weak spots in crypto’s fundamentals—the things that in our opinion contributed to
the softness we saw in prices. Among the items that caught
our attention:

🟠 A drop in net revenue by leading blockchains, which fell 61.61% quarter-over-quarter to the lowest level since
Q1 2023.

🟠 Rising correlation between bitcoin and equities, which
hit its highest level since 2020 at 0.49. That still counts as “low” by academic standards, but it’s higher than many crypto investors like or are used to.

🟠 Mixed results on trading volume, VC activity, and other measures of “animal spirits,” which suggests a crypto market waiting for its next catalyst.

Ultimately, my guess is that the weakness is temporary. To that end, I’d direct your attention to page 5, a new feature
we’ve added to the report looking at key upcoming catalysts
for the space. We believe crypto is set up for a very strong
Q4 and that these catalysts could catapult prices to new
all-time highs.

There’s a lot of great information in this quarter’s report.
Enjoy!

🦅🚨👮‍♀️ SEC Charges Three So-Called Market Makers and Nine Individuals in Crackdown on Manipulation of Crypto Assets Offered and Sold as Securities

The Securities and Exchange Commission today (Oct. 9, 2024) announced fraud charges against three companies purporting to be market makers and nine individuals for engaging in schemes to manipulate the markets for various crypto assets being offered and sold as securities to retail investors. As alleged, the schemes were intended to induce investor victims to purchase the crypto assets by creating the false appearance of an active trading market for them.

According to the SEC’s complaints, crypto asset promoters Russell Armand, Maxwell Hernandez, Manpreet Singh Kohli, Nam Tran, and Vy Pham (Promoters) hired so-called market makers ZM Quant and Gotbit to provide market-manipulation-as-a-service, which included generating artificial trading volume or manipulating the price of crypto assets that the Promoters offered and sold as securities to retail investors in unregistered transactions. The SEC also alleged that ZM Quant and a third so-called market maker, CLS Global, undertook similar schemes to manipulate the market of a crypto asset offered and sold as a security that was created at the direction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of its parallel investigation into potential market manipulation in the crypto asset industry.
