Just cancelled my Claude account.
It was a fun 2 years watching Anthropic create an excellent product... but at a certain point a man's got to look himself in the mirror and ask why he's paying a company he disagrees with on so many levels.
To replace this gap in my life, I'll be upgrading to the $200 Venice Max plan, to build mainly with Kimi, GLM, and Deepseek. I'll have less tokens to waste but at least my money will go towards a mission I believe in... Vote with your dollar, as they say.
I'll post updates to share how it goes.
A short story about Indian scammers who called the cops on themselves:
Earlier this week a follower DM'd me from his personal account complaining that 5.73 BTC ($475K) of his was 'unjustly' frozen at Changelly in Mar 2025.
So I went and plotted the Bitcoin transaction in my compliance tools.
The inflows trace back to illicit sources via social engineering thefts targeting Americans through US exchanges and Bitcoin ATMs.
The broader cluster of high confidence thefts has taken $1M+ from victims since 2025, with several of them elderly.
His story kept changing. It was a loan. No, his boss sent it. No, his boss invested in Bitcoin "during 2014 and 2015" through a friend in the US.
The best part? In Dec 2025 he claims to have filed a police report in India over these frozen funds (3207-P/2025).
In our DMs he shared email screenshots which I queried to surface more data points and map his group out.
I suspect AmanKesar11 is a mule for his boss 'Mr Parveen,' as the 'proof' he sent included bank statements under a different name / location.
While you can message me for help and I'll respect your privacy, at least use common sense and don't contact me with stolen funds.
