[Juan Branco ✊ @anatolium]

Gabriel Attal s'est bien vu offrir un diplôme sur mesure par SciencesPo, après avoir redoublé son master d'affaires publiques, ce qui n'arrive quasiment jamais.

Je suis obligé d'en produire les preuves, puisqu'on a tenté de mentir et manipuler à ce sujet.

Entré en 2007 à SciencesPo, il redouble sa deuxième année de master, après un stage d'un an pistonné à la Villa Médicis - sa seule expérience professionnelle à ce jour.

Il n'a pas réussi à faire ce que 95% des étudiants de SciencesPo font, à savoir valider son cursus, pourtant composé d'un stage et de seulement six mois de cours.

Il est cependant recruté dans la foulée par la mère de sa meilleure amie, Alexandra Reveyrand de Menthon, comme conseiller parlementaire de la ministre de la santé et des affaires sociales.

Il a 22 ans, il a accès à un restaurant privé, a deux secrétaires et un chauffeur, et rentre immédiatement dans le 5% des personnes les mieux payées du pays.

Fort de ce recrutement - dont le caractère népotique est caché à l'administration - il demande à SciencesPo un "arrangement".

Celui-ci va lui permettre d'obtenir un diplôme en chocolat.

Au lieu de devoir suivre 24 heures de cours magistraux et travaux dirigés en droit public approfondi, de rendre des travaux, de passer des galops d'essai et de valider un examen final de cinq heures, on se contente de lui demander un mémoire.

A lui qui n'a pas réussi à valider ce module l'année précédente.

Aucune vérification quant au fait qu'il l'ait lui-même rédigé, alors qu'il a un des postes les plus exigeants de la république, ne sera mis en oeuvre.

Au lieu de devoir suivre 24 heures de cours magistraux et travaux dirigés en économie, de rendre des travaux, de passer des galops d'essai et de valider un examen final de cinq heures, on se contente de lui demander de suivre un module de e-learning.

Sans vérification de ce qu'il a véritablement suivi les cours.

Au lieu de suivre des cours d'anglais, qu'il n'a pas réussi non plus à valider (un point commun avec son conjoint, pourtant propulsé à la commission européenne en charge de l'économie), on lui demande de passer une certification.

A cela s'ajoute que, contrairement à ce qu'il laissait entendre, M. ATTAL n'a jamais été diplomé de Panthéon Assas, comme l'a confirmé l'institution.

Aucun diplôme, aucune expérience professionnelle, mais un PACS avec le conseiller politique du président de la République, qui lui offrira circonscription, poste de rapporteur de commission à l'assemblée, secrétariat d'État, accès aux réseaux people de Mimi Marchand, enfin, propulsion ministérielle alors qu'il n'a rencontré qu'une fois Emmanuel Macron et que les deux seules réformes dans lesquelles il a été impliqué, Parcoursup en tant que rapporteur et le SNU en tant que secrétaire d'État, sont une catastrophe.

Et qui se verra en retour récompensé d'une nomination comme ministre des affaires étrangères par son conjoint, en pleine prise illégale d'intérêt.

Je n'accepte pas de voir la justice de mon pays, et des institutions comme le @canardenchaine et @BabonneauMarine, salir l'honneur d'un homme dans le seul but de complaire au politicien de passage.

Ce politiciens aux dents de lait et à l'expérience du pays proche du néant s'était déjà fait servir la soupe, dans un 7 à 8 historique, devant des millions de Français, en instrumentalisant la cause si sensible et délicate du harcèlement, mentant à ce sujet avec une totale absence de décence.

En France, l'impunité a atteint de tels niveaux que les ministres peuvent mentir, fabriquer, accuser et détruire dans l'indifférence et avec la complicité des institutions chargées de les contrôler.

De puissants murs médiatiques sont ainsi érigés pour tenter de masquer la réalité, qui, de l'invention de traumatismes familiaux à la mise en scène de relations amoureuses en passant par la fabrication de parcours en carton-pâte, permettent au système de subsister.

Il nous appartient d'y résister.

Une procédure en diffamation a été intentée.

@jpthor @raynalytics Please don't vibe code a DKLS implementation to Thorchain.

Hire a doxxed and recognized expert to do the implementation, then get AI to review it, then have it audited and re-open your bug bounty program with the scope of this code. 🙏

[CyberSatoshi 𓆙 @XBToshi]

shipping a testnet this fast while the whole timeline is dunking on you takes serious grit. $10m is a brutal tax for tech debt, but this is exactly how unbreakable infra is forged. I am not a $RUNE maxi, but sincerely rooting for TC to survive this as a builder.

[Chad Barraford @CBarraford]

Its wild to me how divisive @THORChain seems to be.

This protocol solved a "holy grail" problem the industry desperately needed to be solved and achieved "the impossible". Any coiner should be in appreciation for achieving something that we all use & take for granted today

[CyberSatoshi 𓆙 @XBToshi]

it’s the ultimate catch-22. if thorchain blacklists the exploiter, they prove they can censor txs and nuke their permissionless narrative. if they don't, they literally act as the mixer for their own stolen funds. checkmate.

true decentralization is brutal. if TC swallows their pride and lets the hacker wash $10m through their own XMR pools, they eat the short-term humiliation but win the long game. it proves the network is actually unstoppable. zero admin keys.

calling it right now: if this exact scenario plays out, TC lets the swap go through.

[Joel Valenzuela @TheDesertLynx]

There's a good reason THORChain's being smeared online after the recent exploit: symbolism.

The protocol has become the symbol of permissionless finance.

When it dared to try to resist censorship, it painted a massive target on its back. Now, people who champion permissioned protocols are piling on, because permissionlessness is a threat to them.

And yes, even architects of other permissionless protocols are joining in out of pure envy.

THORChain is technology filled with innovation and genius, flaws and mistakes. But, like it or not, in this moment it represents much more than just itself.

Stand with the THORChads, not because you like them, but because right now, they're at the front lines of the war for freedom.

Asgard calls for aid.

[tinker @crypt0tinker]

@bitcoincashCN He s correct though

[Think Whysly @thinkwhysly]

DeFi United fund has been started to help @Thorchain…Sorry no it hasn’t, that fund is not for DeFi protocols.

[Chainalysis @chainalysis]

Before stealing $9.8M from #THORChain, likely attacker-connected wallets spent weeks moving its own funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain. On-chain activity ties them to the wallet that would later receive millions of stolen funds.

It started with Monero.

[aorthurmorgan @RedDeadXMR]

Whatever happens, @THORChain is still adding $XMR. Can’t stop this train boi. We ride or die

[Pluto 🚢 @pluto_hbr]

@zacodil All the inventory held by MM on NEAR Intents are in a closed source multi-sig. Really poor taste to use exploits to champion your own less-secure, less-decentralized product. Also, your AI slop summary of the root cause is patently false (it’s not attention logic-related).

[codehans @codehans1]

The DeFi Vibes are returning

Now with native assets, with lessons learned, with safety and security at the core

Love to see it

[tinker @crypt0tinker]

@jpthor What s the point if we already have TCY? And is it worth the extra risks?

[FamiliarCow @familiarcow]

do you think the ETH cabal knows they could have raised 1/10 the amount of DeFi United and buy enough thorchain validators to ignore dprk transactions

[Joel Valenzuela @TheDesertLynx]

This past week, the degenerate gamblers in the crypto space exposed themselves: they don't think this is useful, or critical, financial infrastructure.

If they did, they wouldn't be advocating for decentralized systems to be shut down because the wrong people are using them.

No, I won't pull the fire alarm because you lost money at the casino.

[Timmy 銃 @TendermintTimmy]

What the actual fuck is even happening to our industry. Satoshi is probably rolling in his grave.

Thorchain is doing everything right, and all these web3 toddlers are upset because they clearly don't even understand the first thing about crypto, and just think this is a space to make quick unregulated buck.

Web3 is not just about making money, it's about a core philosophy and belief that in the digital era, TRUE ownership should be possible. That's it. Full stop.

It started as something sorta cyberpunk, but as our world as evolved into the online one it is today, this is now something i believe everyone should have access too. But no one seems to appreciate what risks that freedom comes with.

By all means, do keep your money in a bank, or invested in stocks, if you enjoy the projection that bring you.
But do not expect it in web3. You should not be here because "it's like stocks, but with more potential upside" or you WILL get burned 99/100 times.

But for me, the mere concept that anyone in this space would ever expect any funds to be frozen, or help to rendered in general, in the case of a scam or exploit is still absolutely mind boggling to me. It's nice when it happens; it can build trust and save projects.

But it inherently should not be expected in this space, it's a built-in, omnipotent risk that everyone should account for at all times. It's just that it's a risk we take because we value the benefits of web3 even more.

-------

So, about the recent KelpDAO and LayerZero exploit.

You know who's "at fault" for the recent KelpDAO exploit?
1. KelpDAO for failing to enhance their LZ setup, and even further, to completely rely on a third party tool like LZ without deeply, intimately understanding it; the least i'd expect for a project handling 100s of millions of dollars.*

2. LayerZero for allowing so many teams to use their setup in the 1:1 config, and to be honest, for having the exploit in that 1:1 DVN config at all.*

3. And finally, in a weird but very real way, as rough as it sounds. It's on everyone that put money into KelpDAO, trusting a less than 5 year old protocol with hundreds of millions of dollars, without inspecting the code themselves.**
This is web3, and there are inherent risks that people should understand. Hackers wouldn't have the incentive they do for these thefts if people weren't so willing to ape their funds into every new "opportunity" that emerges with limited due diligence, or if teams put more into security then they do chasing TVL.

*No, i am genuinely not trying to bash either team here, we're going to see a lot more exploits like this soon from teams far more seasoned than them, (and not just in web3, i.e. mythos style threats.) Im just saying that objectively, some blame obviously lies there.

**No, im not saying i inspect the source code of every dApp i put money into. Not at all. But what i am saying is that i put money in there fully understanding that i didn't inspect it, that it's not FDIC insured or similar, and that any loss incurred is on me. Again, this is the true wild west of the internet and of finance, it's not your easy ticket to a lambo.

-------

MEANWHILE
There sits Thorchain, following the core philosophy and ethos of web3, just providing the service it promised, no questions asked, full stop.
And yet, it's somehow getting hate for it?

In the attached image, one commenter says "you see stolen funds getting laundered on your platform and you do nothing." And it truly makes me wonder if he's just like "professor" Jiang that wants to know where the bitcoin servers are.

Just because there's a @THORChain twitter account that someone owns, does NOT mean that anyone "owns" ThorCHAIN the blockchain.

It's no one persons platform. If you don't think it should be a completely open DeFi exchange with no restrictions, then go buy a fuck load of $RUNE and start talking to some validators, and make it that way through governance.

But since that won't be happening, id instead urge you and everyone like these two in the image to take a step back and reconsider what you're actually even asking for here.

Even if you did control Thorchain, do you think it would continue to exist if you turned it into a centralized, censorable version of it's current self? Absolutely not, because then it's little different from a CEX.

Decentralization is not all upside, and if you were every told that, im sorry you were mislead. It's far from the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Decentralization has MASSIVE drawbacks compared to centralized systems in many ways; but we value it for the specific ways in which it provides a better alternative.

Hating on Thorchain for operating as designed is just absurd. If not from everything i've listed here, then just for that simple fact.

------
Bottom line, Thorchain was built to do exactly this; let anyone in the world swap any amount of crypto between wallets and chains whenever they want.

If you don't like that fact, that's perfectly fine, i certainly wouldn't ever judge you for it, but, it probably means you need to reevaluate if you should even be involved in crypto at all.

[ander @OAlsta]

The @vultisig @THORChain @RujiraNetwork stack is massively undervalued rn, imo.

Once integrated, we are talking about one of the most powerful stacks in crypto.

Critical, unstoppable, immenently needed, core infastructure for a profoundly decentralized and free world.

[Vini B |「 thecoding 」 @vinibarbosabr]

I support THORChain's decision of remaining neutral to funds moving according to protocol rules

I understand protocols having admin keys in early stages while code is still maturing and I believe these keys should be removed once it achieves a mature state

I also agree on setting good precedents and keeping the credible-neutrality in the early days (even with admin keys) is super important to build a solid foundation culture-wise

I don't hold RUNE but I still think THORChain is doing the right thing here and this drama only encourages me to study the project more in depth now

Decentralization and credible neutrality is how we can build better standards moving forward

.@THORChain’s mythical “Admin Mimir”… Yes, deprecated since early 2025, but what powers did it actually had then?

- Freeze tokens in selected addresses (ala USDC/T)? NO!

- Seize tokens directly from selected addresses (ala Arbitrum)? NO!

[Graham @Shenanigrahams]

Thorchain is getting some much needed viz lately

They have had their fair share of fuckups over time but the state of the chain is pretty amazing, tbh

A small group of people support it. No labs funding the thing. Just grit

Meanwhile it is more decentralized than 98% of things, has no inflation and has real revenue

It pays consistently and now has a very interesting application layer in @RujiraNetwork

It does what it says it does and yet people are continually incensed
