▪ 2019 — Oleksandr Vinnik (BTC-e) ▪ 2022–2023 — Do Kwon and Sam Bankman-Fried (Terra, FTX) ▪ 2024 — CZ (Binance)
The latest "victim" — CEO of Safemoon, Braden Karony. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison for fraud.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the management of Safemoon: — manipulated the price of the SFM token — controlled liquidity pools — withdrew millions of dollars for personal expenses — funded a luxurious lifestyle (mansions, sports cars)
Is it a coincidence or yet another signal of "market cleansing" before a new wave of growth? 👀

Coinbase announced the launch of crypto wallets specifically tailored for AI agents. Despite jokes about a possible 'Skynet', the idea is much more practical.

• 💰 $BTC ≈ $67,000, $ETH ≈ $1,966 — without sharp movements, the market is 'digesting' the decline. • 🌍 Total capitalization: $2.29T, −0.28% — the decrease has slowed down. • 😱 Fear and greed index: 8 (extreme fear) — historically this is the zone where a bottom or base forms. • 📉 CMC20: −0.41% — altcoins are still weak. • 📊 RSI ≈ 49 — neutral, there is no longer oversold. • 📉 MACD negative — the trend has not yet reversed, but the downward momentum is fading.
The market is in a state of fear, but without capitulation. This is not a zone of euphoria, but a zone for careful accumulation for the long term, if the 2022 scenario does not repeat.
