Whatever happened to Ethereum after that whole switch over? It kinda looks like nothing much at all, like the actual technology driving this garbage is just a fig leaf for the scamming. Which makes me wonder, are there any crypto that just pretended the whole block chain thing but just ran their database on a micro EC2 instead?

For about a year I lived in a place where I paid rent by depositing cash directly into the landlord's account at the bank. The deposit slip was my receipt. Yes, the place was sketchy as hell. Why do you ask?

He quickly progressed to pushing crypto more generally, getting selfies with Vitalik Buterin like they were best buddies, that kind of crap. Thankfully most of my friend circle who also knows the guy were able to recognize that he was full of poo poo.

The alleged murderer, Hristo Hristov, who is also Bulgarian, is currently serving time in a Dutch prison for drug trafficking. According to the report, Ignatova was murdered aboard a yacht in the Ionian Sea, and her body was dismembered and cast overboard. The alleged motive for the murder was to conceal the drug lord's involvement in the OneCoin scam. The narco-boss is said currently to reside in Dubai, having evaded Bulgarian authorities.[27][28] Wiki cites a report saying she was murdered by a guy basically named Chris Christov on the orders of a guy named Christopher.

It's loving amazing how fast crypto bros pivot to throwing one of their own under the buss when they gently caress up bad enough that normal people sit back and go "yeah that looks kinda bad."

So what's the chances Do Kwon's obviously fake passport was purchased with crypto off some dark web grifter? 100%? Or, for extra comedy, dark web three feds in a coat pretending to be an unsavory internet businessman
