The Reuters investigation is one specific case. The pattern it documents is the default mechanic of insider-launched crypto.
The fix isn't outrage. It's disclosure, classification, and informed consent.
Stay sharp. DYOR matters more than ever.
$2.3B in profits to one family. $2.3B in losses to over a million investors. From the same set of crypto ventures, over the same 17 months.
The mechanism behind that math is the real story. Here's the breakdown.
The policy implication: The CLARITY Act would force disclosure on token launches, classify assets clearly, and create real consumer protections.

1,550 BTC. $101 million. Average price: $65,332. Acquired between June 1 and June 7, during the worst week of the year. The "more dots" tweet was the receipt, not the plan.

→ Avg cost basis: $75,680
→ Current BTC: ~$63,500
→ Unrealized loss: ~$10 billion
But Strategy doesn't measure the position in dollars. They measure it in coins.
The dollar loss is paper. The coin count is permanent.
