    Alameda ETH addresses are digging around in the sofa for spare change and swapping bits ERC20s for ETH/USDT. ETH and USDT then funneled through instant exchangers. Rings some major alarm bells... https://t.me/... https://etherscan.io/... https://etherscan.io/... https://twitter.c…
  • @peckshieldalert @peckshieldalert on x
    #PeckShieldAlert Alameda-labeled addresses have been swapping ERC20 tokens (e.g. $LDO, $AAVE) for ETH/USDT, then sent $ETH to ChangeNOW and $USDT to Fixedfloat and Binance through fresh wallets within the last 10 hours https://twitter.com/...
  • @lookonchain @lookonchain on x
    We found many addresses labeled Alameda selling ERC20 tokens, and transferred ~411 $ETH($491,783) and 1M $USDT #ChangeNOW, #FixedFloat and #Binance via address “0x64e9”. Total about $1.5M. https://etherscan.io/... https://twitter.com/...

    Alameda has started dumping tokens again, just days after SBF arrived home. $SOL, $LDO and $APT are amongst the most affected, dropping ~10% in a matter of hours. Live now to explain exactly what's going on 👉: https://www.youtube.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    So John Ray and friends... don't have control of all the wallets? So you got a Ch 11 where about half a bill is sitting in the Bahamas, half a bill is being siphoned off by a “hacker” and random wallets are still in control of the criminal ex-management. What the fuck lol. https:…
  • @milesdeutscher Miles Deutscher on x
    Alameda wallets are active again, and seem to be dumping multiple tokens for $BTC. This is just a few days after SBF arrived back home.
  • @iamdcinvestor @iamdcinvestor on x
    it's impossible to say who it is at the moment, but i was stunned to see SBF using a laptop in the airport photo you don't need to know much about crypto to understand that such criminals accused of extreme fraud should not be allowed to have access to internet-connected devices …

    In the past 12 hours, Alameda Research has been selling altcoin to $ETH and $USDC on Metamask and Sushiswap. Luckily, most of them are in small amounts, with the exception of $LDO (about $700K) Afterward, they sent to Fixedfloat and ChangeNOW through fresh wallets. https://twitte…

    “North Dimension (a fake online electronics retailer) was where FTX customers were told to wire money if they wanted to trade on its exchange... money wired to ND by FTX clients for their own use wound up funding Alameda's trading and SBF's other ventures."https://www.nbcnews.com…

    Me: obsesses over whether a job began in May or June of 2008, because what if someone checks my resumé and I misremembered? SBF: carries out the most obvious, amateurish, and clumsy fraud involving billions of dollars, and no one notices for years. https://www.nbcnews.com/...
  • @elliott_downing Elliott Downing on x
    It may not be much consolation now, but if a putative financial services company told you to wire money to a random electronics website in order to access its services and you thought “Okay, sounds legit” then SOMEONE was going to steal your fucking money. https://markets.busines…

    The FTX plot thickens: Sam Bankman-Fried bought Robinhood stock using hundreds of millions of dollars from his trading firm, Alameda Research. And then Alameda took out a loan and pledged those same shares as collateral, per CoinDesk.💵 Unbelievable. https://markets.businessinside…

    “The affidavit provides a new curveball in the three-way race to lay claim to the 56 million Robinhood shares. Crypto lender BlockFi, FTX Group and Bankman-Fried himself have all attempted to lay claim to the shares, which could be worth over $440 million.” https://twitter.com/..…

    SBF took funds from the trading firm, Alameda Research, to buy Robinhood, $HOOD, stock worth about $450 million this year. Later, Alameda took out a loan and pledged those same shares as collateral, CoinDesk has reported.
  • @kadhim @kadhim on x
    Prosecutors have alleged, and two of SBF's closest associates have admitted, that much of Alameda's money was stolen from the FTX crypto exchange. In turn, Alameda extended huge sums to SBF personally. Here's one ‘promissory note’ for $316mn: https://storage.courtlistener.com/ ..…
  • @marketrebels @marketrebels on x
    Looks like Alameda took FTX funds to loan the funds to SBF, so he could buy the Robinhood shares via Emergent Fidelity (Antigua entity), but then according to BlockFi those Robinhood shares were pledged as collateral for a loan BlockFi gave to Alameda. 🤔https://www.bloomberg.com/…
  • @kadhim @kadhim on x
    The signer for Alameda is Caroline Ellison, who has already flipped on SBF and admitted her role in what US prosecutors have called one of the biggest financial frauds ever https://twitter.com/...
  • @kadhim @kadhim on x
    The circularity here is incredible. Before FTX collapsed, SBF used these same Robinhood shares — bought with money borrowed from Alameda, we now know — as collateral for Alameda's own borrowings from other lenders😵‍💫 https://www.ft.com/...
  • @autismcapital @autismcapital on x
    TLDR: Sam took FTX customer funds and lent them to Alameda. Sam then borrowed the funds from Alameda to make a shell corp that bought RH shares, and used the shares to secure a loan from BlockFi. Now BlockFi, SBF, and FTX are fighting to claim the shares. https://www.coindesk.com…

    The DOJ's National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team is investigating the hack after FTX declared bankruptcy that stole about $370 million in crypto. The conduct could amount to a charge in connection with computers fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
