The Police once raided a warehouse and found 3,800 PlayStations running FIFA
Ukraine's security service raided a warehouse in Vinnytsia expecting to find a crypto mining farm
Instead they found PS4 consoles stacked on racks from floor to ceiling
Every single one was running FIFA 21 on autopilot, farming Ultimate Team coins 24 hours a day to sell on the black market
The operation was stealing $259,000 a month in electricity and causing power blackouts across the entire city
The consoles alone were worth $1.5 million
EA makes $1.6 billion a year from Ultimate Team
The FIFA coin black market is worth over $200 million a year
At black market rates, 3,800 consoles farming coins 24/7 could pull in $3 to $5 million a year
Around the same time an actual EA employee got caught selling rare Ultimate Team cards for $1,000 each on the side
Even the people who made the game were running the same hustle

On June 7, 2014, all eight Ethereum co founders gathered at a rented house in Zug, Switzerland to sign incorporation documents
The plan was to make Ethereum a for profit company
Instead, Vitalik Buterin walked out onto the terrace alone
He stood there by himself while everyone waited inside
Then he came back and announced that CEO Charles Hoskinson and co founder Amir Chetrit were fired and Ethereum would become a nonprofit instead of a company
They never signed the documents
Hoskinson was telling people he was the CEO of Ethereum and doing media interviews as the face of the project
Vitalik had two nicknames for the two Amirs on the team: Amir Taaki was “Anarchist Amir” and Amir Chetrit was “Capitalist Amir”
Chetrit was pushed out for not contributing enough
Hoskinson was pushed out for trying to turn Ethereum into a Silicon Valley startup
The entire meeting is known internally as Ethereum’s “Red Wedding”
Vitalik later said: “I did realize at that time that not everyone in the cryptocurrency field is like me, fighting for ideals
Many people just want to make a lot of money”
Hoskinson went on to create Cardano
The 20 year old who fired him built a $200,000,000,000 network

Billion dollar crypto clash.
World Liberty vs Justin Sun.
Today, Justin Sun, the largest investor in Trump's crypto project World Liberty Financial, went public and accused the project of building a hidden backdoor in the token contract that lets the team freeze any wallet without notice.
WLFI fired back within hours, called his claims baseless, and ended with "SEE YOU IN COURT PAL."
Here is how it actually started. 👇
In late 2024, Justin Sun put $30 million into WLFI. By January 2025, he scaled it to $75 million and was named an advisor. He also committed $100 million to the TRUMP memecoin.
Total Trump linked exposure: around $175 million. He publicly backed Trump and the project's "DeFi for everyone" pitch.
The WLFI token launched on September 1, 2025 at around $0.25 and hit an all-time high near $0.33. Only 20% of presale tokens were unlocked at launch.
Three days later, the situation on Sun's side started to develop.
On September 4, Sun moved around 50 million WLFI to HTX, the exchange where he sits on the advisory board. He called them test transactions.
Around the same time, HTX started offering WLFI presale investors high yields if they deposited their newly unlocked tokens on the exchange and locked them up.
Here is what WLFI alleges was happening:
- Retail investors locked their WLFI on HTX to earn yield.
- Sun was allegedly selling tokens on the back end of his own exchange, including tokens backing those user balances.
- The plan, according to WLFI, was to cash out his unlocked tokens early and even sell against the locked up user supply.
- Then, when more of his own tokens vested in the future, he would use those unlocks to refill the user balances on HTX.
- In short, using other people's locked tokens as early exit liquidity for himself.
WLFI says it had logs of this and froze Sun's wallet on the grounds that he had breached his agreement. Around 595 million unlocked tokens worth $107 million were frozen, plus billions more in vesting tokens.
Sun has not publicly addressed the back end selling claim in detail.
He has stuck to the position that the transfers were tests. On chain data from Nansen confirmed his wallet transfer happened after the price crash that day, not before.
So his direct transfer did not cause the crash. The question of what was happening inside HTX's internal books has not been answered by him.
For months he tried to resolve it privately. The token kept falling. By December 2025, his frozen stake was down around $60 million.
Now look at the other side of the story.
Starting in February 2026, the WLFI treasury began running a borrowing operation on Dolomite, a DeFi lending platform. It deposited its own stablecoin and its own governance token as collateral, borrowed real stablecoins against them, and sent the proceeds to Coinbase Prime, a venue typically used for institutional fiat conversion.
By April 9, 2026:
- 5 billion WLFI tokens deposited as collateral on Dolomite
- Around $75 million borrowed in stablecoins
- Over $40 million sent to Coinbase Prime
- WLFI's own token making up around 55% of Dolomite's total liquidity
- The USD1 stablecoin pool pushed to 93 to 100% utilization, which made it difficult for normal depositors to withdraw
Dolomite was co founded by Corey Caplan, who is also a WLFI advisor and has been described as acting in a CTO role for the project.
So the situation on chain shows WLFI borrowing real stablecoins against its own thinly traded token, on a platform connected to one of its own advisors, using a pool that also held retail users' stablecoins.
The $40 million transfer to Coinbase Prime happened just hours before Trump's US-Iran ceasefire announcement, which moved oil and risk markets sharply.
When this came out, WLFI called it FUD.
They said the position is nowhere near liquidation, they would add more collateral if needed, and they are acting as an "anchor borrower" generating yield for other lenders.
This is the setup Justin Sun walked into today.
In his X post, Sun said WLFI built a backdoor blacklisting function into the token contract that was never disclosed to investors, giving the team full power to freeze or effectively confiscate any holder's tokens.
He called himself the first and single largest victim. He said the governance votes WLFI uses to justify its actions had key information hidden from voters and predetermined outcomes.
He demanded his tokens be unlocked and that the team identify themselves by name.
WLFI's official account replied within hours.
They called Sun's claims baseless, said he is playing the victim to cover up his own misconduct, called it "same playbook, different target," and ended with "See you in court pal."
Sun replied by demanding WLFI's team step forward publicly instead of hiding behind an anonymous account.
So in short:
- WLFI trading near $0.079, down 76% from its high
- Sun's frozen stake worth around $43 to $45 million, a paper loss of $60 to $70 million
- WLFI signaling a lawsuit
- The Dolomite loan is still open
- The $40 million on Coinbase Prime has not been publicly broken down
The on chain data is public.
The freeze, the loan, and the Coinbase Prime transfers are all visible to anyone.

🚨 Every time the US has announced a temporary pause in a war, something much bigger followed.
The 2-week Iran ceasefire is no different.
This is not the first time the US has paused a conflict and called it progress. The pattern of what happens next is consistent across every major US war in the last 50 years.
IN JANUARY 1973, the US signed the Paris Peace Accords with Vietnam and declared peace with honor.
Nixon had secretly promised to resume bombing if North Vietnam violated the agreement. Congress blocked it and Within months of the ceasefire being signed, full-scale war had resumed. By 1975 North Vietnamese tanks were rolling through Saigon.
The ceasefire did not end the war. It ended US involvement and left the underlying conflict completely unresolved.
IN 1991, the US declared a ceasefire after 100 hours of ground combat in Iraq and told the world Kuwait was liberated. Saddam Hussein remained in power and The US immediately established no-fly zones enforced by military patrols for the next 12 years.
The US bombed Iraq again in 1993, 1996, and 1998. In 2003, a full invasion followed that toppled the government. The 1991 ceasefire was not the end of the conflict. It was a pause before the next phase.
In Afghanistan, the US signed a peace deal with the Taliban in February 2020. The Taliban resumed attacks against Afghan forces three days after signing. The US completed its withdrawal in 2021. The Taliban took over in 11 days.
Now look at what is actually happening during this ceasefire right now.
Iran's official statement accepting the deal explicitly said "this does not signify the termination of the war. Our hands remain upon the trigger." Israel stated the ceasefire does not include Lebanon and is stepping up operations there.
Israel and UAE both activated missile alerts within hours of the ceasefire being announced. Iran continued firing at Gulf states after the deal was declared.
The core issues that started this war are still completely unresolved. Iran wants a permanent guarantee the US and Israel will not attack again.
The US has not agreed. Iran wants full sanctions relief. The US has not agreed to that. Iran wants formal sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. The US has not agreed to that as well.
These two weeks are a negotiating window, not a resolution.
The markets are pricing in peace. History says something much bigger is coming.
#US&IranAgreedToATwo-weekCeasefire

🇮🇷🇴🇲 The Strait of Hormuz will have a toll booth for the first time in history...
The ceasefire agreement includes allowing both Iran and Oman to charge fees on ships transiting the Strait.
Iran will use the revenue for reconstruction.
The world never paid to use this waterway before tonight.
Iran went to war with the most powerful military on earth and came out of it with something no nation has ever had: a formal revenue stream from 20% of the world's oil supply passing through its waters.

He stole a car and realized there was a four-month-old baby in the back seat, turning a simple crime into one of the most unusual anecdotes in Oregon police history.
Instead of panicking and fleeing to get rid of the evidence, this Beaverton thief displayed a rather twisted moral code: he turned around and drove back to the scene of the theft.
What was most surprising wasn't just that he returned the baby safe and sound, but the attitude he adopted when he encountered the mother.
Far from showing remorse for the theft, the man got out of the car to give her a lecture, severely reprimanding the woman for leaving the child alone with the engine running.
After making sure his "parenting lesson" had been delivered and that the child was safe, he got back in the car and drove off for good.
Although the police immediately launched a search for the suspect in the car theft, the incident became known as a case where criminal logic was absurdly intertwined with a sense of civic responsibility.
In the end, the thief chose to risk his freedom rather than face the consequences of an accidental kidnapping..
Me: I feel like clapping for him, but then, he is a thief!!
#USJoblessClaimsNearTwo-YearLow

The United States recently spent an estimated $300 million to $500 million on a massive combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) operation in early April 2026 to recover the crew of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle in Iran. 
The operation is being described as one of the costliest and most daring rescue missions in modern military history due to the loss of several high-value aircraft.

Breakdown of Costs and Losses
•Aircraft Losses: The bulk of the expense stems from the destruction of specialized aircraft to prevent sensitive technology from being captured.
◦Two MC-130J Commando IIs: Each of these transport planes costs more than $100 million. They were reportedly disabled during the mission and intentionally blown up by U.S. forces.
◦Additional Aircraft: Reports indicate the loss of two Black Hawk helicopters, an A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog), and multiple drones.
•Mission Scale: The rescue involved "dozens of aircraft" and an elite team, believed to include Navy SEAL Team 6, operating deep inside Iranian territory for several hours.
•Iranian Bounty: During the search, Iran reportedly offered a $60,000 reward to locals for information leading to the capture of the missing airmen.
