~$600m at present value, assuming you could convert it all to filthy fiat.

Obviously you couldn't just sell $600m without crashing the token value, as it's like 60% of the 24 hour volume. Market caps are totally bullshit in cryptoland, but people still use and quote them.

Because BSC (the blockchain behind BNB) is a centralised thing controlled by Binance, they basically can - and did - turn it off when they found out this happened. The hacker had managed to syphon off ~$100m worth of it into various places before they did that, but the rest is essentially frozen. Still a decent haul, all things considered, he/she could launder and convert that amount over a period of time.

A bunch of other places have blacklisted the wallet address too.

Crypto - decentralised, except when it isn't.

68% value loss in the past year is good right?

got an email from a recruiter this morning:

The other funny thing in these text messages is how random people pop up suggesting new executives who can be put in place at Twitter. There’s a person who’s name is redacted who pushed for “a Blake Masters type” to lead Twitter enforcement (Blake Masters is the Peter Thiel protégé who is running for the Senate in Arizona and seems to have all the charisma of a stone toad). Then there’s the (partially disgraced) venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson suggesting (the even more disgraced) Emil Michael as a potential senior exec for the company.

Warzel spoke to another social media exec who calls out how silly all this is:

“I’m on 20 threads with people,” the former social-media executive told me. “And it’s literally like, drat, they were just throwing poo poo at the wall. The ideas people were writing in, in terms of who would be CEO—it’s some real fantasy-baseball bullshit.” Despite all the self-mythologizing and talk of building, the men in these text messages appear mercurial, disorganized, and incapable of solving the kind of societal problems they think they can

And that’s the bit that stands out to me the most about all of this. It becomes clear that almost all of these messages involve dudes who got extremely lucky in the past, and now think that they can solve the world’s problems, and they toss money and ideas around at each other as if they’re doing something important.

Techdirt: It was truly a contrast that, at the same time those messages came out, I was at this conference of trust and safety professionals, many of them not making nearly enough money for the work that they do, but who were actually working through the hard problems of how to make a social media site actually function for democracy, recognizing the many hard challenges and impossible trade-offs, and recognizing that there are no easy answers. There’s no multi-point plan that “fixes” social media, and any plan to make better social media requires more than a text message. They’re not having billionaires throw their billions around to help them actually make the very real improvements that can be made. They’re struggling every day to make these websites actually work. And the lucky dudes are mostly tossing around extremely simplistic ideas that half the people at the conference last week could lay out the many issues they’d need to actually think through to understand those challenges.
