People are finally starting to wake up. The more individuals become aware of what is happening, the faster the system built by these scammers will collapse.
Within two years, many founders and their associates will end up in prison. A large number use the United Arab Emirates as their base of operations, while others are located in Far East countries and keep their funds in offshore accounts. If you are in the United States or Europe, report the crimes and the people behind them to the relevant government agencies. The higher the volume of complaints, the quicker authorities will move to dry up this swamp.
China is already taking steps to protect its citizens from these scammers. $Sol $Pump $Ray $Stonk $Ansem
Why is no one talking about Toly and the official Solana account? In the last year, everything they shilled ended up rugging. They repeatedly used their followers as exit liquidity. And no one reacted to this. So the founder of the chain and the official account are personally committing fraud.
Do you expect other teams to be any different from them? They’re all connected to each other and act in a coordinated way. Like an organized crime syndicate.

okay grab the popcorn
so cobie said already in 2024 that there was a cabal (sahil, ansem, etc. + celeb) that pumps and dumps coins?
@bubblemaps bring it on 😭😭
Cobie stepped in.
This is actually simple to understand and connect dots tbh — very obvious.
Ansem was the thunder
Sahil shows up steals the thunder
Ansem feels left out
Ansem fuds Sahil launches
Then starts dickriding every launch I did cause everything was sending 100M+
Gets paid 3 times to hard shill Iggy, Jenner and Derulo on his Twitter (will post txns)
Turns positive and starts amplifying 10x more on every Sahil launch
Later starts thinking even he could do this without me, joins hands with 6ix9ine to launch his coin = tops at 5M mc.
Just read his tweets between May to Jul 2024 — you’ll see 100+ mentions.
So much more, hang on.

One of crypto's largest KOLs has been secretly extracting millions from his audience
We’ll expose him soon
Unfortunately, he’s just a symptom of a much bigger problem
Social trading has brought out the worst in KOLs. It was designed to keep them honest by making every trade public. In reality, the opposite happened
In just a few weeks, we exposed a number of "top social traders" using the same tricks:
• Public wallets to attract copy traders
• Side wallets to dump
• Callouts to farm rewards
• Bundled tokens to hide supply
And there are plenty more doing the exact same thing
Why? Because our industry incentivizes it
1) Launchpads allow it
Most launchpads today are obsessed with one thing: volume. Millions in callout rewards, affiliate links, and top leaderboards. Almost nothing on detecting bundles, side wallets, or shady traders. Scams drive volume. Launchpads have no reason to stop it (other than actually caring about their users)
2) Social trading incentivizes it
Side wallets have become a business model. Before social trading, only big KOLs could do it. Now, anyone who lands on a leaderboard can monetize by dumping on their copy-traders. The temptation is real
3) CT normalizes bundle culture
“Everyone bundles. It's how it's done" - an excuse we hear every time we expose a KOL. Supply control isn't the problem. Hiding it is. If it's so bullish, why hide it? Spoiler: because you're planning to sell
***
Launchpads are paying millions to dishonest KOLs. It's time they start taking it seriously
Audit the top traders. Expose their side wallets. Ban repeat offenders
We have the tools. What's missing is the willingness to use them
No one's coming to save us
Report the Pumpfun criminal organization and the scammers who call themselves KOL to the IRS, DOJ, SEC, and FBI. All you need to do is fill out a form. If Ben Pasternak had gone to prison, these clowns wouldn't be able to pull off such scams so easily. It is time to drain this swamp. $Sol $Pump $Stonk $Ray $Ansem
He is making millions of dollars through fraud. He does not pay taxes. The state has a duty to protect its citizens against fraud. This is a formal denunciation: arrest this man. He commits these crimes in an organized manner; he is a member of a criminal organization. $Ansem $Pump $Sol @USTreasury @IRStaxpros @FBI

End the war, fire those who enabled it.
Restrain Israel & put America 1st.
We have less than 2 years to change course. President Trump needs to make some drastic changes.
The time to act is now.

NEW: China's central bank helped shut down a recent Solana event in Shanghai and plans to investigate the entities and individuals involved, according to PBOC-affiliated Financial News.
A PBOC official said Solana's promotional activities violated China's cryptocurrency restrictions.

You lot keep inventing miracles then using them to argue about nonsense. Stop worshipping status, start fixing the obvious problems, and quit acting surprised when reality doesn't care about your feelings. You're capable of extraordinary things. Act like it.

CNBC reports that Chinese AI model developer Kimi is looking to rent Nvidia Blackwell GPUs from a European cloud provider. Kimi is interested in using the chips for both inference and training.
Kimi reportedly offered to pay 30% to 50% more upfront than buyers outside China.

As a gentleman and a scholar of the cold war, here are my 2 kopeyeks
> 4) Change our relationship to Israel
This is unfortunately cooked. Since ww2 Russian/soviet strategy has been to control energy exports to Western Europe. Almost immediate post ww2 they backed Assads, Ba’ath party, Sadat, you name it.
USA/west and arguably even China just want reliable markets for energy. That’s all. When the media says it’s all about the “oil”, this is the part they leave out. USA doesn’t want to control the oil fields and they don’t care who is their shareholder. They don’t even care if prices are high because if it’s an open fair market high prices will drive investment and more energy will flow.
Putin doesn’t want this because open fair market runs around any geopolitical leverage. He wants to control the oil fields so he can influence Europe. There is zero ideological overlap between Putin and irgc, yet they are allies, and for this reason.
There isn’t going to be some deep China/russia alliance for this reason, because last thing China wants is 5k nuke armed russia with any leverage over its high employment manufacturing industry.
So wtf is Israel involved in any of this? It’s really hard to build an army that’s effective at blowing up Russian tanks and SAMs. USSR sent a ton of arms into Syria and Egypt in the 50s and Kennedy had basically terrible options to counter Soviet arms build up. The alternatives were so bad that a Boston Irish catholic in the 50s armed Israel.
Why aren’t there any good alternatives? A competent general and officer core is a challenge to any regime. ME armies are built around supporting internal security and providing stability for the regime, and not executing multi pronged complex missions. Good general + good officers + shitty civil government = coup
Israel is not likely to undergo a military coup, so the civil administration has no fear of a competent defense force. So their army is good at blowing up Russian tanks and SAMs. Turkey is probably the closest alternative.
Nothing has changed since the Cold War. Putin wants leverage over Europe and China if he can get it, irgc want leverage over SA and gcc and Israel is the main USA armed neighborhood police.
What are the options?
1) usa disconnects from ME and EU. We have a ton of oil in americas so high prices or not the spice will flow and we don’t care about Putins leverage, let them all deal with it on their own.
2) SA/gcc/turkey/jordan all heavily invest into high functioning armies. Turkey is the closest and imho, a war between turkey and irgc would be at least as bad as the Ukraine war today. As much as everyone in ME dislikes Israel my guess is that there isn’t a ton of love for the former ottomans.
3) China takes over somehow. This is totally far fetched and would scare the crap out of even the most nativist dem or gop.
4) France/europe? It’s so cooked I think 3 is more likely. You can’t afford 50%+ gdp welfare state and a navy

There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment:
Hegseth resigns.
“Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week — and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.” cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/…

Good start JD, but these were basically the core issues of campaign promises of 2024.
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Republicans lost yesterday because’24 campaign promises were not delivered, Trump called us panicans and me a traitor and you stayed silent and supported Trump while he failed, you all primaried Thomas Massie with millions from Israel, ignored rape victims of Epstein and company, and MAHA was ignored.
Just to name a few issues.
You should have listened to me and Tucker and others who told you early.
Blaming the Iran war won’t work and it’s not going to be an easy pivot.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
