A $6.3B hack started with a fake job interview. That's where this week's episode begins. New look for the Monday recap. This time I'm inside the stories. Inside this one: • How @binance actually got hacked • 70.49M POL frozen on @0xPolygon • A 27,553 ETH whale with a strange source • Binance leaving four EU countries • Trump Media moving 4,259 BTC • $BTC's election bounce, gone in a day • Sunday night, when only crypto was open • @Collector_Crypt's $CARDS on Upbit, then @coinbase • And me, somehow, on a trading card Not everything that happened this week, just the stories I thought were worth walking through. Thanks for coming along. See you next Monday.

1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group. Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain.

When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen (Isaiah 60:22). We just won $100,000 at the Build with Gemini XPRIZE and I am so overwhelmed. When the competition started we kept asking ourselves what we should build, and eventually I asked, what about Nigeria? I thought about my mum, who has been a tailor for more than 30 years and practically raised my twin sister and me on that income. It was hard sometimes, because her customer base was so small, and she would often wait weeks before a customer paid for a completed job. In Nigeria this is a huge problem for a population where most of the employment sector is made up of artisans. So we built MyFixam, the marketplace where you can find and book verified artisans and pay straight on the app. The competition had more than 26,000 participants and 1,400 projects. On Friday I pitched live at Moonshot Live, the Oscars for optimism, in front of more than 1,500 people, to judges Cathie Wood, Palmer Luckey, Mark Pincus, Anousheh Ansari and Logan Kilpatrick. To make it to the top 3, I am more than grateful. Thank you @xprize, @GeminiApp and @PeterDiamandis.

Hi yeah so 36 year old here. Some positives: 1) You are so incredibly young, you have so much time 2) Number 1 but with more emphasis, you can do anything and be anything truly - you can literally just ask AI how to do stuff 3) No one has any money when they're younger - that's why it's called 'building wealth' it takes time Some negatives to shock you into a reality check (harsh but fair) 1) Alright so everyone you know that you love in your family eventually will die. It doesn't seem like that at 19, but out of my 6 people I loved, 2x grandad 2x grandma 2x parents - i have 1 left. Unless you're really unfortunate, at 19, chances are quite a few are still alive - this is awesome, be thankful for this 2) Life above 30 is where shit gets real. There's no 'when i'm older in my life i will have/do/be this' - if you get to my age and you haven't done it yet - then welcome to a massive existential spiral and likely a little bout of depression 3) Your responsibilities, your commitments and your dependants all increase. Life isn't about you anymore, it's about other people and you facilitating their life to happen at the literal expense of yours 4) Unless you have looked after yourself - you will be fatter, weaker and worse looking So, truly, I cannot express to you how much your life is JUST starting at 19. Go out and take it.
