U.S. #Drug Enforcement Administration sends over $50,000 to a #scammer

Source: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/single/us-drug-enforcement-administration-scammed

Someone observed the #DEA wallet send a small test transaction before transferring the remaining seized funds, and quickly used a crypto wallet address with identical characters at the beginning and end to send an airdrop to the DEA source wallet. When the DEA agent went to send the remaining funds, they copied-and-pasted the address, believing it was the same one they'd sent the test transaction to. This is a common scam in the crypto world known as "address poisoning", and is successful primarily because crypto wallet addresses are very long strings of characters that people usually copy-and-paste, and only identify by the characters at the start and end.

#FTX #Bankruptcy Will Seem Like NOTHING | This is 10X Bigger!

  1. FTX used clients money to take risky bets. Those bets lost as the market fell further.

  2. Many companies saw their assets grow as clients saw crypto gaining. Once the trend changed companies problems started showing up.

  3. #TETHER is the third largest #coin. It is a stable coin that aims to have parity with the USD. However, it has never been audited. Audit is every 5 years. It’s audit was meant to be carried out last August. This is suspicious having this hesitancy.

Again, if it turns out that its not fully backed then the we have another FTX X ten. This is very #dangerous for the whole #financial #industry.

Reports show scammers cashing in on #crypto craze

source: https://nitter.it/web3isgreat/status/1532775402468478977

From Super Bowl ads to Bitcoin ATMs, #cryptocurrency seems to be everywhere lately. Although it’s yet to become a mainstream #payment method, reports to the #FTC show it’s an alarmingly common method for scammers to get peoples’ money. Since the start of 2021, more than 46,000 people have reported losing over $1 billion in crypto to scams – that’s about one out of every four dollars reported lost, more than any other payment method. The median individual reported loss? A whopping $2,600. The top cryptocurrencies people said they used to pay scammers were #Bitcoin (70%), #Tether (10%), and #Ether (9%).

Web3 is going just great ... and is definitely not an enormous grift that's pouring lighter fluid on our already-smoldering planet.
