"Why isn't Socialism working?!" 😠

Look who I helped accepting bitcoin today! Charcuterie & Borrelplanken is the latest food stand in the Foodhall Arnhem to accept bitcoin. For a few sats she happily serves you some freshly sliced ​​hams, high-quality cheeses and snack dishes. Or the typically Dutch bitterballen.

New evidence shows: (1) @Revolut did apply the one refusal ground the law gives it. (2) the attackers targeted in their malicious request high-value clients using blockchain transactions. Documents show that on 24 July 2026, on a request covering 198 hashes, Revolut refused direct disclosure for 169 tied to Revolut Ltd (UK) and 29 tied to a Swiss entity, redirecting the requester to UK mutual legal assistance. Only accounts held at Revolut Bank UAB in Lithuania were treated as covered by the EIO. The refusal ground available to Revolut was jurisdictional. They APPLIED it. EU AML law imposes no verification duty on the bank and provides no meaningful mechanism to check who is really behind an authenticated state request. Refusal to answer carries fines in the millions. In practice, verification is impossible. Now, how the attackers targeted high-value clients? Per Duel's verified .eml files, they used public blockchain data as query keys. Hundreds of crypto transaction IDs and deposit wallet addresses tied to suspected high-value Revolut users were submitted under the forged EIO cover. Revolut returned encrypted zip files with folders of ten customers each, ID pictures, verification selfies, account data, unredacted transaction data, with the password sent in a follow-up PEC. Anyone whose wallet address appears on-chain can be turned into a target this way. Self-custody does not close this door: the moment your KYC data sits with a regulated intermediary, the same channel opens.
