The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
That’s where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.

The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk.

Twitter 2 has officially launched.
A judge gave the tentative ruling that X "abandoned" its rights to the Twitter trademark when Elon Musk tried to sue the new Twitter, so they've launched their own platform to compete with X.

Operation Bluebird launched twitter.now (not "Twitter 2") as $20 paid early access claiming X abandoned trademarks. Judge made tentative April 2026 oral comments on possible abandonment of some marks; no final written ruling. X's lawsuit ongoing.

🚨 WHAT A STORY! 😍🇱🇹
Sabah FC have reached the Champions League for the FIRST TIME in their history — but the story of the man who took them there is incredible. 🇦🇿👏
Back in 2000, Valdas Dambrauskas was a student with ZERO experience as a professional footballer when he appeared on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”
He won enough money to travel to England and invest it in his dream: becoming a football coach.
He completed coaching courses and gained experience around Manchester United, Fulham and Brentford before taking charge of ninth-tier Kingsbury London Tigers in 2007, where he achieved some of the best results in the club’s history.
From there, he worked his way through the Baltic leagues, building his reputation step by step.
Fast forward to 2026...
🏆 Azerbaijani league champion.
🏆 Azerbaijani Cup winner.
🔥 Finished ahead of powerhouse Qarabag.
⭐ Guided Sabah into the Champions League league phase for the FIRST TIME EVER.
From using game-show winnings to fund his coaching education... To managing in the Champions League.
Football really is the beautiful game. ❤️👏

Thoughts and prayers with the people of Nepal 💔🤲🏼
The families who lost their loved ones will never be the same again, while the livelihoods and infrastructure destroyed will take years to rebuild.
This is no random tragedy: it is the fallout of rapid #glacial melt in the Himalayas. Which we see as flash floods and GLOF events in #Pakistan every day. The glaciers are melting because of global warming caused by continued high use of fossil fuels. You can’t separate the cause from the effect. This is the catastrophic result of ignoring climate warnings, so this is a classic case of #climate injustice. The victims are not the same as the beneficiaries of carbon emissions from powerful polluters @UNFCCC @WorldBankGroup pl note. @fossiltreaty

Matteo Guendouzi had the night of his life against Lyon. 🤣🤣
🇫🇷 Check out Mattéo Guendouzi’s comments after he nearly sparked a riot against Lyon last night, as his Fenerbahçe side knocked them out of the Champions League.
For context, Guendouzi previously played for Lyon’s fierce rivals Marseille, which explains why there was absolutely no love lost between him and the home crowd:
🗣️ Guendouzi: “Respect? You want to mess with me? It goes both ways. They insulted my mother and my family for 90 minutes, even longer, and after that we can't even celebrate the way we want... I find that a shame... 😤
You know when you have 60,000 people insulting your family, your mother, your children and nobody, not even the referees, tells them to shut up. It hits hard... 😤😤😤
I know that in France if this kind of thing happens, there's a moment when they stop and ask them to stop.” 🇫🇷

This is seriously scary. CCTV footage from Gyirong Port in Tibet, China, directly opposite Nepal’s Rasuwa district. This flash flood hit here first and later caused massive havoc in Nepal. Can’t even imagine someone surviving this. Prayers for everyone affected. 🙏

1/ Meet M1llionz (RichMilly666), a French cybercriminal allegedly laundering assets from two violent home invasion robberies in France in April 2026 that netted $667K total, with a history of openly posting about bank and retail fraud on social media.
My work has led to a $93K Tether freeze directly tied to these attacks so far.
