@glove ... Hi I traced out your 5.92 BTC stolen and it was all laundered via @kucoincom deposit addresses in the following transactions: 6f5c8eb6b01774626f33527e0cb03c0d1860447 acacd6079e69bf41b459bcf1f 9ee1288f941b2c3775ebd125eefeebdc713aa16 0bf2cf9d18661fd07f84ce891

Apple won't let half of the crypto apps that should be in the App Store, in the store, but will allow a fake ledger app through Incredible gatekeeping
