In 2016 Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan stole 120,000 BTC from Bitfinex
They spent years laundering it through thousands of small transactions and fake identities

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell criticizes Trump's White House UFC fight:
Our government is desecrating its role in society by hosting sporting events. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.
Why do some cities work... while others suck?
I'm in Panama 🇵🇦 for a few days, for the first time
Walking around the city, I keep thinking about something that's been on my mind for a while
Panama reminds me so much of other Caribbean cities... Santa Marta, Cartagena...
They have the same climate and vibe. The same food. Same colonial Spanish roots
But Panama actually works
✅ The streets are clean
✅ The infrastructure functions (the roads really impressed me)
✅ You can walk around at night without constantly looking over your shoulder
✅ People don't f*cking blast music at every hour of the day like in the Colombian coast
✅ Things get done
Cartagena and Santa Marta? Amazing food & incredible people...
But they're also chaotic, dirty, extremely run down, and more than a bit sketchy in many areas
What's the difference?
I've been asking myself this question in different forms
Why does Buenos Aires feel like a proper European city... clean, walkable, relatively safe, with incredible architecture and culture...
While São Paulo, just a few hours away, is completely different? Junkie camps everywhere. Extreme inequality. You need armed guards and bulletproof cars if you're wealthy
Both are massive South American cities. Both have waves of European immigration. Both have access to resources
But the outcomes couldn't be more different
Is it genetics? Culture? Political systems?
Honestly... I don't know
The genetics argument makes people uncomfortable, but it's hard to ignore patterns when you see them repeatedly
The culture argument feels more palatable, but then you have to ask... where does culture come from? And why do some cultures produce functional cities while others don't?
The political system argument is probably the most popular one
Panama has been relatively stable and business-friendly for decades. That matters
But then you look at countries with similar political structures and wildly different outcomes
My guess? It's all of it
It's not one thing. It's a combination of historical factors, institutions, culture, geography, economic incentives, and yes... probably the genetic makeup of the population through centuries of different selection pressures
But nobody wants to say that last part out loud
What I do know is this: some cities work and others don't
And as someone who spends their life moving between them, you start to notice the patterns
✅ Panama works better than Cartagena
✅ Buenos Aires works better than São Paulo
✅ Montevideo works better than Guayaquil
These aren't judgments on the people btw. I've met incredible people in every single city I've mentioned
But the systems? The infrastructure? The day-to-day functioning of society?
Massive differences
And if we're serious about helping places improve, we need to be honest about what actually makes cities work
Even if it makes people uncomfortable
@mc_khristina@CieloBonit Yes stages... so they don't completely unload and cause the stock to crash.
The lockup period on almost every IPO is 180 days regardless of how much it is.
I won’t pretend to be a sports guy but shouldn’t the playoffs of any major sport be something for the fans who’ve followed the team all year not celebrities and rich douchebags
2 years ago Mike Brown got fired for calling out De’Aaron Fox for being an Idiot. Now Mike Brown is going to win a Championship because De’Aaron Fox is an Idiot. Full circle moment
It’s hard being black mostly because when a black person does some dumb shit. I guess you’re supposed to act slow and go along with the pro black BULLSHIT agenda. Nope 👎🏾 fuck that shit I refuse‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
It’s a fucking shame this had to become what it was. This was a clear cut case. This had nothing to do with race but everything to do with piss poor decision making.
If he had a problem they should have fought and moved on about their lives but instead he decided to make the dumbest decision of his life now it will cost him his life!!!!
Justice was served‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Its not self defense when you taunt someone saying "touch me and see what happens" 5 times.
He was intent on stabbing austin,
Plus - youre not allowed to bring weapons onto school property or have them at school events.
The kid is fucking guilty.
I have to think, how would i feel if austin were black?
Id definitely find him extra guilty.
What would have been a routine fight between boys at a school ended up with one dead.
This is not what the black community needs to be focused on we have more important things to do
