Oooopsie 😳
Somebody on the team unlocked referral rewards on https://t.co/n1rGGOSKo6 and now we cannot find the off switch.
Your new daily routine:
1. Wake up
2. Check referral rewards
3. Cry at your PnL
4. Get comforted by referral rewards
So go text that one friend who still trades on a terminal that shows him 3 numbers and a candle.
Tell him to come to the platform that shows EVERYTHING.
He gets alpha. You get paid. Beautiful friendship. 🐋
Just a moment ago, you were all calling out Pumpfun, Ansem and the paid shillers in that whole Pumpfun extraction circle who have been fucking you over for months and years.
Now, suddenly, you’re all perfectly fine supporting the exact same shit again and again and again.
You’ll never learn, you fucking sellouts.

"The dev never sold. He even locked his bag."
That's what you hear about solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump right now. It's true.
And it hides everything.
I call it the Nihao Circle.
➡️ The group
The dev of solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump is faceofsol. 23,450 followers on https://t.co/LqFzwZSFU7, linked to X @faceofsol.
On 23 Oct he opened a private group on https://t.co/LqFzwZSFU7 and named it after the coin: "NihaoN****s".
- 27 accounts, every single one "invited" by him
- 9 of them joined in the 10 hours before launch
- solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump launched on 25 Oct at 13:27 UTC
➡️ Launch day
- 13:27: the dev buys 15.4% of the supply for 5 SOL
- 9 minutes later he starts sending tokens out. 5M each to 8 of the 9 early members, 3.77M to durki0h. 0.5% of the supply per wallet, sent, not sold
- the members buy another 7.9% on the curve
- before solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump even left the curve, dev and group had 23% of the supply. Cost: 13.4 SOL and $109
- in total the dev sent 70.4M tokens (7%) to 22 wallets
➡️ 10 Nov. The KOLs show up.
- 17:21 UTC: Chairman buys $23,600 of solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump
- 2 blocks later group member a1lon9parody sells 3.14M in 6 transactions, all in the same block
- within 4 minutes voss, 1somniac, durki0h and purplereign sell too
- 22:17: Ansem buys $15,000
- 23:00 to 00:00: $11.2M volume on the main pool. 146 of today's holders bought in the same 13 minutes
- in that hour alone the group sells for 3,740 SOL
➡️ The receipts
26 group wallets, every solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump trade read from the chain:
- sold for 5,762 SOL plus $114,615 USDC
- paid 420 SOL plus $8,556 for their buys
- profit: 6,615 SOL. About $550k
- 94% of all their selling came after the first KOL buy
Top of the circle:
- MemeHubCo: +1,596 SOL
- swaagsol: +1,091 SOL (joined the group 31 minutes after Chairman bought)
- onlyswz: +741 SOL
- purplereign: +718 SOL
- durki0h: +686 SOL
- nogue: +610 SOL
- a1lon9parody: +373 SOL
And on 28 Oct, minutes after selling, MemeHubCo sent the dev 2 SOL.
➡️ And the dev?
- 0 tokens sold. True
- 531 SOL in creator fees landed in his wallet since launch. Every buy and every sell pays him. He doesn't need to sell
- 11 Nov, 05:02 UTC: he locks 54M (5.4%) on Streamflow until 9 Nov 2027. The lock is real, it can't be canceled
- 39 minutes later solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump hits its top, near $20M
- he still holds 29.96M unlocked
➡️ Fair is fair
- the lock is real
- the 5.9% "burn" was https://t.co/LqFzwZSFU7's own boost at migration, paid with 17.6 SOL from the curve. Not the dev
- a https://t.co/LqFzwZSFU7 group is not a crime. Sending tokens to friends is not a crime
- but "dev never sold" means nothing when the dev hands 7% out in the first days and his group sells into the KOL buys
Pattern, not a verdict.
➡️ How I found it
WalletGalaxy on MASTRtrade put the dev in one group with 2 wallets that got their tokens sent, not bought: a1lon9parody and onlyvoss. I pulled that thread. It led to the whole circle.
➡️ Before you ape the next "clean dev"
- check who got tokens from the dev wallet in the first hour
- check if the dev runs a https://t.co/LqFzwZSFU7 group and who is in it
- watch who sells the second a KOL buys
- check the creator fees. A dev who earns on every trade doesn't need to sell
Every wallet and every transaction: next post. Check me.

Research and trading terminal
You’re all a fucking disappointment.
Every scandal gets your immediate attention, but ask you to support something that helps people understand what they’re buying, identify manipulation and keep control of their assets, and suddenly there’s silence.
Hours for the drama, nothing for the work that might prevent the next round of victims.
And this applies just as much to accounts with 10k, 20k or 40k followers as it does to those with 100k or more.
The same little circles, the same favours, the same unwillingness to support anything unless there’s money, access or attention in it for you.
A smaller audience doesn’t make your behaviour any less rotten.
A literal casino can buy your enthusiasm overnight.
Independent builders can spend years producing useful tools and still struggle to get a mention from the same people who supposedly care so deeply about this space.
No cheque, no referral deal, no badge to collect, apparently no fucking interest.
I’ve experienced that personally.
Hardly any of my supposedly important “colleagues” could even be bothered to give me feedback.
These people have spent months lifting things I posted first and repackaging them for likes, yet couldn’t spare 2 sentences to tell me what they think of my work.
Tell me it’s shit, explain what’s missing, give me something.
But apparently there’s time to copy what I publish and none to answer me. That’s the level of professional courtesy behind all this “we support builders” bullshit.
Some of you carry yourselves like industry leaders when your entire claim to importance is a follower count.
All that reach, all that time spent online, and barely a useful contribution that doesn’t come with a payment attached.
You’ve mistaken having an audience for having judgement, character or anything worth saying.
And the rest of you keep financing it.
You like the criticism, applaud the exposure, then return to the same platforms and referral links.
Your objections cost them nothing; your habits pay their bills. Nepotism keeps their friends visible, your fees keep them profitable, and anyone building independently gets told to work harder.
I’m fucking tired of watching people congratulate themselves for understanding a system they keep rewarding.
If your principles disappear whenever there’s money or access on offer, you’re a sellout.
If you understand the damage and keep funding it while pretending to oppose it, you’re a hypocrite.
You can have all the followers in the world and still be a fucking loser.
These are the numbers: the tokens our scans flagged as scams, and what happened to them afterwards.
Thank you to everyone using the terminal for research, and an even bigger thank you to those who understand that it can only survive if people also trade through it.
Research and scans cost money to run, and your trading fees help keep those tools available.
https://t.co/VVp5bJjl8w
It’s crazy if you think about it:
the apps with the biggest marketing budgets pay the biggest KOLs to funnel people into places where they get fleeced, then sell that extraction as success.
Plenty of you recognise it and like the posts calling it out, yet keep using the same fucking products, funding the same promoters and rewarding the same behaviour.
Your likes say you want better; your fees keep the worst of this industry profitable.
Quality barely stands a chance when even the people who see the problem keep financing it, and the entire space pays for it.
If everyone who’s liked my tweets over the past few years actually switched to quality, control over their own assets/ self-custody, leaving behind the shady behaviour, social trading and endless extraction, products like @MASTRtrade (and many more) would be the number 1 apps in this space.
But you keep happily trading on platforms designed to make the house and its paid shills rich at your expense.
The ability to recognise quality and originality, spot something early and appreciate the work behind it has been lost in a sea of KOL shilling, institutional backing and nepotism dressed up as merit.
Privacy season is here.
Solana Privacy Rings are live on mainnet: encrypted balances and private transfers at Solana speed.
But a Ring hides the link, not the wallets.
Deposits and withdrawals stay public, and on day one most of them still connect: 194 of 228 withdrawals trace back to a deposit from public data alone.
So we built Ring Watch on MASTRtrade:
- Every deposit and withdrawal, live from the chain
- Each withdrawal rated: tied, possible match, or hidden in the crowd
- A wallet check before their money touches yours
- Team Check flags launches funded out of a Ring
Live now for MASTR Pro users.
Private trading on MASTRtrade is next!
Almost half of PumpSwap's top volume is fake.
Maybe more.
➡️ Here is the machine:
The 200 PumpSwap pools with the most volume in 24 hours: $785M.
$358.6M of that (45.7%) comes from 62 pools that all look the same:
- around 2,000 buyers, but only around 30 sellers
- $5M to $10M volume each
- built by hand, not one of them is a https://t.co/QXqoP4X9Jk launch
- the same names again and again: $KYTRO 9 times, $MONTRA 9, $X 8, $AICoin 6
- all 62 built within 22 hours
- 56 already empty, still on the list with millions in volume
16 of the top 20 look exactly like this.
➡️ $KYTRO. One pool. Every transaction.
- 09:45:20: coin and pool created in one transaction, 84.99 SOL in
- same block: a 10 SOL buy, signed by the buyer AND the creator
- next 80 minutes: 8,252 transactions where 2 wallets trade with each other. One buys, one sells, both sign
- 20 wallets do all of it. Their signatures tie them together, and the creator signs with 2 of them
- they move 126,368 SOL back and forth. That's the "$10.7M volume" on your screen
- 11:05:21: the creator takes 485.32 SOL out. Pool dead
➡️ Who paid his 400 SOL?
- the 20 wallets he signs with: 398.92 SOL
- all 1,975 other wallets together: 4.16 SOL
- biggest loss outside the 20: 0.60 SOL
- https://t.co/QXqoP4X9Jk's fee: 61.2M $KYTRO and 0 SOL
Read that twice. They paid themselves. Even the fee was paid in their own coin.
$10.7M volume, 2,000 "buyers" and a top 5 spot on PumpSwap, for almost nothing.
They faked the chart you pick coins from.
➡️ And it's not one pool.
7 pools, checked from build to withdrawal:
- same build, same exit, 1 to 3 hours each
- 3,502.97 SOL in, 6,294.01 SOL out
- the same wallets trade in pools with different names
- the same co-signers build pools with different names
Different names. Same crew.
➡️ "Those are just market makers."
No.
- a market maker trades with real buyers and sellers wallets. Here both sides of the trade sit in the same transaction, signed by 2 wallets of the same group
- a market maker doesn't create the coin, own all the liquidity and pull it after 80 minutes
- in $KYTRO there was no market to make: 1,975 outside wallets traded 4.16 SOL in total
- a market maker doesn't relaunch the same coin again and again. 9 $KYTRO pools in one day, the same 3 wallets trading in all 6 I checked
Market makers bring liquidity for traders. This brings volume for a chart.
"Volume bots". Half of PumpSwap.
➡️ And 45.7% is the strict count.
Take every pool in the top 200 with 60 sellers or fewer in 24 hours: 109 pools, $469.3M, 59.8% of the volume.
Millions in volume, a few dozen sellers. That's not a market.
In September I showed you a pool factory: pools built by hand, liquidity in, liquidity out, gone within hours.
Now this kind of pool is almost half the volume chart!
➡️ Why you should care
Volume decides what you see: trending lists, "top volume", bots, copy traders. They all read this number. Almost half of it is a script trading with itself.
Who runs this and why, the chain doesn't show. Yet.
Every pool, wallet and transaction: next post.

Crypto has spent years mistaking loud mouths for qualified people, so watching a country do the same feels painfully familiar.
Put a promoter who has absolutely no business being there behind a White House podium and apparently the same bullshit acquires the dignity of public service.
At least in crypto you can stop funding the circus if you’re smart enough to recognise it.
The people stuck living with this shitshow don’t get an block button.
Crypto folks: Use your block button more often.
Access to your attention and time is a privilege.
There’s value in documenting how people got fucked....but come on.
Thanks for documenting it and the theatrical buildup...
After all that hype, the grand revelation is that a big KOL was selling through side wallets.
A message to everyone here: practically every KOL in this space does this.
It’s consistent with what I’ve found through my own research and the wallet activity I’ve traced using the tools now build in my terminal.
I’ve mapped 95,000 wallets to around 40,000 accounts in my terminal, with flows users can trace in both directions.
I’d like this space to put at least as much effort into helping them spot it before they do.
While you’re at it, apply the same scrutiny to your own controlled, insider solana:FQgtfugBdpFN7PZ6NdPrZpVLDBrPGxXesi4gVu3vErhY
I’d be interested to see that investigation.

The space is healing.
Slowly, but it’s healing.
Liars and scammers like @slingoorio and @_TJRTrades are trying to paint themselves as victims when they embody so much of what’s rotten in this space.
2 down, but plenty more still need to get off CT and end up in prison.
My viral “fuck you” rant is over a year old and more relevant than ever.
We should all be much fucking angrier at ALL these KOLs who spent years dragging newcomers into this mess.
They shilled obvious rugs, promoted tokens while knowing who controlled the supply, and pushed casinos on people who trusted them.
They helped themselves to other people’s money and somehow kept their status as people worth listening to.
You knew what you were paid. You knew what you held. You knew which information your followers didn’t have when you told them to buy.
And once they lost the money they had worked for, you suddenly discovered the importance of “doing your own research.”
Fuck you for spending months cultivating someone’s trust and then using their decision to trust you as your excuse.
Now some of these same people are collecting applause for complaining about scammers.
Apparently, watching somebody else do the same shit is enough to give them a conscience.
Where was that disgust when the allocation was yours? Where was the concern for newcomers when you were collecting the promotional fees?
You don’t get to keep the proceeds, delete the pitch and return as the person explaining what went wrong with crypto.
Their next audience deserves to see the previous promotions, payments and wallet activity before believing another word.
Keep the receipts accessible. Make the financial interests visible. When the evidence shows someone knowingly exploited their followers, that should remain part of their reputation for as long as they keep asking people to trust them.
And stop giving them a fucking standing ovation for saying something decent after years of doing the opposite.
They took money, attention and credibility away from people who were actually trying to contribute, then helped make the entire space harder to trust.
A few agreeable posts do not repay any of that. Fuck you for expecting the people left with the losses to help rehabilitate the people who profited.
The worst part probably isn’t even the shady ways they extracted money from people already here, driving some of them out in the process.
It’s all the people who hear what a scam-ridden circus retail crypto has become and decide never to get involved in the first place.

#Binance, Iranian Oil Money and the Fight Over $61 Million.
While digging through the court records in a $61 million USDT forfeiture case, I came across a signed order and a dispute over the money that deserve a closer look.
The documents bring together allegations involving @binance accounts, Iranian oil revenues and creditors trying to recover unpaid judgments against Iran.
On page 16 of the DOJ complaint, an entire section is titled “The Use of Binance Accounts to Transmit the Proceeds of Iranian Oil Sales.”
Prosecutors allege that Hexa Whale Trading and Blessed Trust used Binance accounts to move proceeds from black-market Iranian oil sales to Chinese buyers.
The alleged beneficiaries included Iranian government and military bodies, including the IRGC. The government is pursuing 61,192,367.59 USDT across 10 addresses.
What caught my attention in the 21 October court memorandum was the competing claim to those assets.
Creditors holding unpaid judgments against Iran arising from the 9/11 attacks are seeking recovery from the same funds.
Their entitlement to this particular money remains unresolved. That puts an actual fight over compensation alongside the government’s attempt to confiscate alleged Iranian oil proceeds.
The documents also explain precisely what had happened to the crypto.
Tether froze the funds in June and July 2025.
As of the October memorandum, the court said they apparently had not yet entered government custody.
Completing the seizure would require Tether to burn the blocked tokens and issue replacements into government custody.
On 21 October, Judge J. Paul Oetken found probable cause that the assets were subject to forfeiture and signed an order preserving them.
Binance says it cooperated with investigators and removed both companies following its investigations.
How did companies allegedly moving Iranian oil proceeds operate through Binance accounts, and did the exchange’s safeguards identify and address that activity quickly enough?
I have attached the relevant passages and the judge’s signature so the documents can be checked directly.
The allegations deserve scrutiny that goes considerably deeper than accepting an exchange’s reassurance that its compliance programme worked.
A memecoin shiller who dumps his bags on his followers, many of them newcomers, is disappointed that people are sick of being farmed.
Apparently, we’re supposed to admire him for turning $1k into $10k while livestreaming his buys to thousands of people who provide the demand he sells into.
Forgive me for wanting to see how much of that trading “talent” survives without an audience to unload on.
And “there is no winning here” is fucking rich coming from someone flexing a Rolls-Royce in his profile picture.
Apparently, even the self-pity needs a luxury badge.
Hundreds of people have already liked this shit, which tells you how successfully this space has taught people to applaud their own exploitation.
Please leave and take the rest of the shilling circus with you.
We could actually thrive without people who expect gratitude for turning everyone around them into exit liquidity.
