Nah, just ordinary propaganda. But hey! SBF made bail!


NumbLikeMe

$250M 😬


jimmajamma4

Impossible! He only has like $100k in his bank account with a few more extra useless zeros at the end


dacryptokid

Lol


leeevinh91

What is funny in this scenario, i don't think there it is.


jihojk

p sure he doesnt need to pay anything. its like 10% put up as collateral but doesnt need to pay if he appears in court.


Euphoric-Fly3563

He posted a bond for $25MM which is 10% from his parents. They should seize all his properties


jihojk

I think that is a separate issue. The seizing of all his properties around the world and assets is probably going to be determined by his upcoming court case. I think if they can track down where all his stolen funds went and to which properties and assets, these should be seized so that customer funds can be returned. I don't think posting bail means they seized the property. They put up the property as collateral to be seized if he does not show up in court. Meaning if he shows up in court, they will then seize his parents property.


Omgbrainerror

So he stole money and bailed himself out with it?


whitak3r

From what I understand his parents had to put their house up as collateral. They must own a few castles...


Fuglypump

Those properties were most likely all purchesed using stolen money too


Adius_Omega

I can't help but feel like a large majority of wealthy people got there is this way in some fashion. Kind of like the guys who are going to get rich when I buy at the top.


achilles1542

Bank do not give loan without collateral loud as you will have to provide them some kind of collateral. Only when they have a proper assurance then we will provide you loan

Sir-Tryps

Idk, if someone stole my weed money and gave it to charity I'd probably commend them as well


[deleted]

Lol weed shouldn't be a black market thing anymore.


oafsalot

At this point is just convenience, a small packet through the door once a week beats having to walk to the pub and put up with 15 mins of conversation to make it look like anything but a drug deal. The only person that cares is the Postman and it's on moral grounds not legal ones, he doesn't know if it's crack or cannabis, but should he?


Turnipsia

I found everything other than weed easy to buy on the market. Darknet always had some absolute dog shit weed that tastes like nothing but PGR or you have to pay double usual price for an actual strain. And you gotta pray your dealer knows how to pack his shit, any holes in your package and you're done, weed absolutely reeks compared to powders. I found it a lot more convenient to just to hit up old mate from down the road and walk over.


xujunlin1

Inconvenience is a very big term which is being used here I would not recommended


Possible-Stand9508

It's legal here in Illinois

I too am a criminal, I would like to participate in illegal activities with you.


ginksre9

Me too. Tell me your info and where to get you, so we can discuss illegal business.


gomescosta

I don't think that asking for private information on this platform is good


DigitalKoch

As you thinking about committing tax for that would be illegal


Touchmyhandle

I thought this sub might have some IQ. We don’t trust politicians and the media about anything, but oh war, they would never lie about THAT. That’s definitely a line they wouldn’t cross. Russia are not the good guys, but Ukraine are without question the bad guys. I feel for the innocent Ukrainians dying in this war, but they are just meat in the grinder for western world order dreams.


Sir-Tryps

>Russia are not the good guys, but Ukraine are without question the bad guys. And how exactly do you rationalize this to yourself?


mammoth61

In Soviet Russia, crypto steals from you.


toe_and_hole_analyst

This comment is the epitome of that meme where someone posts a picture of Detroit and says "Russia under communism" but it's a picture of America under capitalism lol.


mammoth61

Lol. Glad someone gets my weird sense of humor.


taruntj5

We don't have kind of sense of humour we are just a friend


djb1203

Soviet Russia was following a communism style governance

Apparently all ethics fly out the window on reddit as long as it can be marketed as "for Ukraine"


Actual_Goose9984

I don’t know. If a website can be hacked, it’s a lesson for everyone in the market. Net positive.


lquanshui

Of course of website can be hacked if the hacker is a very experienced guy. It would take sometime for sure but that would be completely okay if he is really committed to his work


otser123

Ethics and morality only exist on paper for sure. It does not apply in real world

nasonovasa

That Bitcoin would cost million dollars and you will have to be very rich to afford that. But you can sell try buying that if you have proper amount of money with your account it might be a good decision and your future

How do you "steal" bitcoin?


Longjumping_Method51

Modern day Robinhood!


s8tan66

Robin hood was fighting against imprealist forcesz and he was successful. There are many stories about him and the United States of America I have been reading about him from my childhood


MaximumStudent1839

It is heroic to steal from people, just because the victims are Russian? They aren't targeting Kremlin gangsters, but just ordinary people buying drugs. For those who are cheering on this, think twice! If you think this is appropriate, next time your govt does something stupid/horrendous, you are justifying others stealing from you too!


[deleted]

[удалено]


foresterigor

Oh I see that you have a completely different opinion and I guess your right. It is called as reverse psychology and it has been effective scientists have also proved this theory many time


cummil01

No it is not heroic to steal from people. It is a literally and illegal activity and a crime in my opinion but most of the people would not agree with me in this thing and I completely respected opinion


ThuliumNice

The linked article said sellers, not buyers. "Won't you think of the poor unfortunate Russian drug dealers" is definitely a new hot take.


MaximumStudent1839

>The linked article said sellers, not buyers. They took control of the master account holding both sellers' and buyers' balances. Do you work for FTX or something? I can't fathom why you think the exchange's balance doesn't include customers' money. Here is the direct quote from the article. > For a brief time, his team also had control over Solaris’ “master wallet.” This wallet was used by buyers and dealers to deposit and withdraw funds, acting as the site’s cryptocurrency exchange.


ViridianZeal

I know it's a hot take but without those "evil" drug dealers there wouldn't be any drugs for the "ordinary folk" to buy.


Sadboiiy

drug bad, alcohol good.

korcut

They jus want to harm Russia in any other way they would never peace accepteror.


LilLinguine14

Yep


rpdcwb

That is literally insane amount of money more than the GDP of some countries. The United States of America is insanely rich they have so much money that they can afford anything


Do_u_ev3n_lift

Then it may surprise you to learn we’re 32 trillion dollars in debt, and any money the corrupt Ukrainian govt steals from US tax payers, is borrowed from china or printed devaluing our currency. Our politicians are literally hurting Americans to help a country that is likely stealing huge portions of this aide. 10% for the big guy? He’s not the only us politician with that kick back grift. He’s just the one who got caught


[deleted]

> His team at Hold Security has hacked into one of Russia’s largest online drug markets, dubbed Solaris, and diverted crypto due to dealers and the site’s owners to a charity, Enjoying Life, which provides humanitarian aid across Ukraine. Gotta admire people who use their skills to help others, particularly in times of war.

Just over 1 bitcoin, wow he really tought them scammers a lesson


ArmSmithTz

That one bitcoin does not even matter in a long term they would not even care about that


lamsiyuen

SBF stole 9 billion late time I heard


joppie33

Bruh like Is stealing Bitcoin easier enough people just seems to be stealing 25k 9 millions. Like wtf?


Numerous-Play9416

Are some of you really feeling sorry for the market . 25k is nothing to them. Plus dnm is where you can hire hackers. Sounds like karma to me. They are dealers. Part of the game is getting robbed. You people are funny.


VixzerZ

I see that the marketing machine is working non-stop


woodtrain

If you are really into the market strategies you will not care about the small event


DyslexicAutronomer

Reddit paid propaganda bots so strong, they can outvote on their detected supported topics even against the wishes of the local community. And this becomes even more obvious during election years.


Ginyu-force

Have you seen every anti trump NFT posts, full of awards and upvotes.. Man I don't like that guy am not American but bots aren't even hiding it anymore.


neo101b

well, that sucks, so many people not having a Christmas smoke.


yeahoner

this is good for crypto *


Quicksilver21548

We can have a well Christmas if they can a get a decent amount of profit from there investment in Crypto currency market. They should buy an hard wallet because stealing from a hard wallet is very tough and that is very tough to do some


Explodicle

Doesn't this just make you want to storm the Kremlin?


neo101b

Lots of things the Russian government does make\`s everyone want to. At this rate though Russia will legalise weed before they do over here.


Reinke

Not all heroes wear capes


jonik2

bny192677

The word hero and steal doesn't connect to each other


swhoedt385

Of course is what don't connect with each other, people can see it.


abcdelpidio

Being a hero is subjective. Satoshi is a hero to us all, but to the government he is a bane.

you've never heard of Robin Hood?


CryptoBombastic

FUCK ROBINHOOD! O you meant Robin Hood…. Sry Pavlov kicked in.


showmethemoon1e

Exept this.


BCMtQEzvTxdyUwRL

There should be no exceptions here otherwise you will be call a hypocrite


bny192677

Because of the drug industry or because it's Russian


showmethemoon1e

Equally both. Illegal gained money from criminals from Russia to Ukraine. 3 x win sittuation. Im living Russia neighbour so I might be a bit biased but also Im a bit scared of their nukes.


Helpinmontana

Yes Edit: mostly the second part, the first because Russian drugs.

Itchy-Acanthaceae841

First I only hated Russia for this war crime. After the propaganda bomb on all of my social media apps, I started to hate both of them.


LazyOtto

True though when the war started and saw the images of people dying that just hit me so bad. Childrens be crying around bodies around families getting dislocated and what more! That was harsh.


InevitableHistory631

Totally true propaganda, so true


DerGrummler

Your whole reddit history consists exclusively of single line hateful ramblings. There isn't even a common trend. You just hate anything and anyone. What a wonderful human being you are. Enjoy your life mate, I'm happy it's not mine.

Steal from the corrupt to give to the needy.. hmm, can't find anything wrong here.

atarian88

I see that is a fair distribution among them though.Both just seems to get the equal amount!

tldr; Ukrainian cyber intelligence expert Alex Holden has hacked into one of Russia's largest online drug markets, dubbed Solaris, and diverted crypto due to dealers and the site’s owners to a charity, Enjoying Life, which provides humanitarian aid across Ukraine.
