[Evan Luthra @EvanLuthra]

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!

The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..

It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..

Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..

Every single firm said yes..

Here's what they recorded..

Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..

When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..

$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..

MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..

"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..

He said that on a recorded FBI video call..

CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..

ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..

All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..

And the clients were even worse..

Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..

$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..

One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..

Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..

When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..

But here's the part that broke my brain..

Real people bought NexFundAI..

The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..

When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..

The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..

And it gets worse..

Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..

Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..

Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..

IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..

The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..

The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..

And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

@jointhebridge Currently working on the boundary where AI stops being enough. What looks like completion is often just premature closure: a strong draft, confidently presented, while the human steps, proof, and execution realities that serious work depends on never actually happened.

[GitHub @github]

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

ElevenLabs just lost its moat 🤯

Someone has open-sourced a single app that replaces ElevenLabs AND WisprFlow and runs 100% locally.

→ Clone any voice from a 3 seconds of audio
→ 7 TTS engines under one roof
→ 23 languages: Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, you name it
→ Built-in MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline can speak back to you in a voice you cloned
→ Local LLM rewrites your voice in-character before TTS
→ Pedalboard effects (reverb, pitch shift, chorus) baked in

It's built on Tauri (Rust), not Electron. Runs on MLX for Apple Silicon, CUDA, ROCm, Intel Arc, DirectML, and CPU.

ElevenLabs Creator is $99/month. WisprFlow Pro is $15/month.

Voicebox is $0. 23.4K stars on GitHub. MIT license.

a lot of AI systems right now only look impressive because they quietly remove the parts of the job that AI cannot actually do..

A short summary of @festival_web3 last week in HK.

1. More ppl than expectation. There’s almost no much volume on chain, but still a lot of ppl attending the events, not just main event but also @BNBCHAIN one;
2. @ethereumfndn still trying hard to push the development of L1 and grow the dev eco;
3. Most VCs and projects are no longer in events or actively working. No new projects, devs and primary market is almost gone;
4. The 1% left builders and projects talking about agents, payments, trading and no more infra;
5. Many so called “active market makers” seeking deals with projects to help manipulate the tokens;
6. AI extracts money, devs, VCs, attentions, etc. almost everything from crypto. We can say it’s good for cleansing out mediocre, but looks like new talents don’t feel crypto as cool as 2020 to join.

Really tough time for all builders and investors still left in crypto. Need innovations to make it cool again.

[raldblox @raldblox]

so my codex usage analytics is hallucinating rn..

been using it for a whole week, all day and night, but it won't record any usage..

A short story from @base, grab your🍿:

Someone (0x2352a1Fc) found a bug in Kipseli propAMM quoting logic and managed to swap ~0.04 eth for ~$80k cbBTC and shortly returned for a 20% bounty.

Lazarus Group is the top hardworking smart contract security auditor in the world.

Other auditors charge $50k and miss critical vulnerabilities.

These guys work for free and never leave any money from the contract.

Their resume:
