I once had a sizable amount of money stolen from me off a credit card. I reported it, got new card etc, the card company would not give me any details, but I decided to have a looksee to find out who stole it. Some flowers sent to a certain address were the first clue, and a little while after that, I had everything I needed to know. Everything.
Being a good citizen, I went to the police. They were not in the least interested. I was shocked. The credit card company coughed up and that was it.
Later, and when I really did need a job, I got a job in fraud detection at the credit card company. Outbound calls on cards that had probable fraud on them, and often speaking to the fraudster. It was sort of interesting, I had a talent for it, and it helped pay the bills.
Seemingly, she was part of a team (this is just a rumour I heard btw) that put HFT onto Wall Street. Shocking, I know.
Anway, if you study her stuff, perhaps if she is paid a reasonable fee, (suggest a couple of $mil ought to do it), and give her the FTX data records that still exist, she could perhaps write a script to go fix things. I have no idea if she would be interested, but one could always ask.
There would be a short whirr of some servers, and the printer will push out the arrest warrants and send them automatically to the right districts and authorities. jmho. -g-
A video. I was quite taken in with this broadcast.
The guy on the right is of interest to both TJ and myself. Graham Jenkin. He runs Coin List, the company that keeps the funds I have spare for pure speculation. For me, a handy place to keep USD's once Coin List doesn't go belly up. The guy on the left is Charlie Shreme. No idea who he was or his history when I watched the video.
Then somehow, a video link came up with Charlie Shreme and Luke Lango. It was on how to help the little guy make money on crypto out of the goodness of their hearts. It was really laboured and tacky, any real con artist would be shamed by it. However, just out of curiosity I watched it to see where the story held together or fell apart. I wish I recorded it. If one was not educated in any way, and susceptible to swallow the bait, it was believable (about up the the point to pay about $1200+) for the service until they said they would need your mobile number so they could give the subscriber instant updates on whats going on in crypto investment opportunities. A plain pump and dump operation, jmho, or could be used as one. I just had to laugh out loud at that point, lucky I wasn't trying to drink a cup of hot coffee at that point it would have gone everywhere -g-
Then I checked out their backgrounds. The internet can be productive on background information.
They should re employ themselves as "how to spot a crypto scam" company and they would play a more productive role for the human race. imho.
I am not saying I know any answers, but it is a matter of balancing the risks. Risk assessment. Look at the size of those opaque derivatives histogram in the visual shown earlier.
We may be in a position where it is safer to move forward with new technology than to try and stay where we are. I don't know but that is our predicament as I see it.
