THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO VISIT BUENOS AIRES DURING DEVCONNECT ⬇️
I´m a local in the city of BA and i want all crypto users to have THE BEST experience here in november 2025 at Devconnect Argentina

so about the $86m ledger drain. everyone’s screaming “ledger got hacked” again. i spent the evening digging and it’s dumber and scarier than that
there’s a shop in malaysia called cryptobilis that sells hardware wallets. ledger has it listed as an official authorized reseller since at least 2022, for malaysia, indonesia and the philippines. legit shop, real devices, years of normal customers
this spring the founders sell it. the deal comes with an NDA: they can’t tell anyone about the sale until october 19
by august the company registry shows one owner with 100%. some guy from heilongjiang, china
the shop keeps running like nothing happened. the site, the name and the “authorized by ledger” badge all stay up
then on oct 8 @MagicalTux posts photos of a ledger he cracked open. hidden under the screen there’s an extra little board with an LTE modem and an eSIM. it just watches the display. you set up your wallet, your 24 words show up, and they get sent out over mobile data. ledger’s genuine check doesn’t catch it because the actual ledger chip is real. his device came from malaysia

that post does 120k views
22 hours later someone sweeps everything. 203 BTC hits two addresses in literally one block. ~$58m USDT moves on tron in the same hour. i added up all the wallets: ~$91m
about 7 hours after that ledger says “we’re investigating” and asks cryptobilis to pause sales
cryptobilis is still on ledger’s site as an authorized reseller
to be fair, nobody has officially tied the new owner to the bugged devices yet, and ledger hasn’t confirmed how it happened. but read it as a business plan:
get authorized, sell real stuff for years, quietly sell the company under an NDA, keep the badge, ship devices that phone home, then drain everything the second someone notices
and was ledger even told the shop got sold? nobody’s said so
“authorized reseller” means ledger trusted whoever ran the shop back in 2022. says nothing about who runs it today
bought your hardware wallet anywhere but the manufacturer? open it up today, ledger literally has a guide for that. then move to a fresh seed on a device bought direct
wonder who’s going to answer for this: the chinese frontman from heilongjiang, the shop’s previous owners, or ledger itself
@Ledger clearly needs to keep a much closer eye on who they call official resellers, and take way more responsibility for who sells their devices and how

Someone thought this, someone created it and someone made the image and put it to display
And im not even sure these are the 20 yo anymore, looks like a man full grown up thinking process
i’m a degen through and through, and i don’t consider myself a feminist.
HOWEVER, what the fuck is happening to crypto marketing?
yes, booth babes have always been a thing. and sure, it’s cute when you ask what a project does and a hot Asian girl who doesn’t speak English hands you a t-shirt instead.
but where does it stop?
first, we had a party at a strip club at Consensus. how is a guy supposed to take me seriously professionally while a girl my age is shaking her ass next to us?
then came the whole selling your body thing. yes, the hook is amazing. gg from a marketing perspective. but isn’t it sad watching so many women jump on this trend, even selling their “left and right boob”?
and now this.
i’m not dissing this specific artwork. as a marketer and a degen, i think it’s one of the best creatives i saw at KBW.
but i can appreciate a good hook and still ask what the fuck we’re doing.
with more and more literal porn and sexualization of women in crypto, how is this industry supposed to feel inclusive, let alone look remotely serious to anyone with more than 50 IQ?
we want institutions to take us seriously. we want more women building, investing and working in crypto. meanwhile, we’re putting fetish imagery next to “wallet screening APIs for institutions.”
the jokes write themselves.
when did “sex sells” become our entire creative strategy?
sincerely,
a tired marketer
