Bitfinex Pays Protection Money To US CFTC

Posted on by

The United States Commodity and Futures Trading Commission announced that it has secured $75,000 in protection money from shambling forum scam Bitfinex. The pretext behind this payment is that Bitfinex participated in a sort of transaction the CFTC frowns upon implying its other business at this time has the tacit approval of this organ of the criminal gang in Washington, DC. In the past the CFTC has repeatedly tried to insist it has a place in Bitcoin in spite of all actual evidence to the contrary.1

  1. This evidence includes asserting its will over Bitfinex, the shambling forum scam that succeeded Mt Gox and Bitstamp as the shambling forum scam of choice as its predecessors have withered. Bitfinex will likely be succeeded in this role as well, but the next shambling forum scam to takes its place has yet to be determined.  ↩

Death Rate Rises In United States, Officials Puzzled

Posted on by

News outlets are reporting the death rate in the United States is rising and that officials representing the criminal gang in Washinton, DC are publicly stating that they are puzzled by this development. You on the other hand don't have to be puzzled. The transmayo gender identity leads only to early death and diabetic limb amputations. Peace in our time.

Teamviewer User Information Hacked

Posted on by

The summer of scams continues full swing with users of the remote access tool Teamviewer as the latest targets. Social media was abuzz late yesterday with reports of Paypal accounts being drained, email accounts being compromised and unauthorized purchases being made on Amazon and eBay, with many users speculating that TeamViewer itself had been hacked. The TeamViewer website also suffered an outage of around 3 hours, leaving users unable to connect to their PC's remotely. The company was quick to respond on their website stating that "the source of the problem, according to our research, is careless use, not a potential security breach on TeamViewer’s side." It was further stated that the website outage was due to a unrelated DNS issue and denial-of-service attack. Some users had reported seeing a Windows malware called webbrowserpassview.exe showing up in their logs, indicating that the scammers were possibly using a variety of methods to gain entry into the victim's computers.

Spread Between Chinese And Other Exchanges Settles With Dollar Lower Against Bitcoin

Posted on by

The recent spread event between Chinese and other fiat/Bitcoin interfaces which took the price of the United States dollar to nearly a two year low versus Bitcoin has settled with the interfaces reporting roughly a hundred more United States dollars required to acquire a Bitcoin than it did one week ago. Up until this latest Chinese run the number of dollars required to get a Bitcoin had been remarkably stable in the 400s ever since they were remarkably stable in the 200s. Forecasts place the next subsidy halving just 39 days into the future which is likely to place further financial strain on the mining sector. As always Qntra recommends HODL as the best course of action for your psychological, spiritual, and financial well being. Sorry for your loss, but this halving train is a coming round the bend.

Forbes Revises Theranos CEO's Estimated Wealth To Near Zero

Posted on by

Forbes Magazine has revised their estimate of Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes's (WOT:nonperson) net worth from 4.5 Billion United States dollars to nearly zero. Back in October Qntra reported on the likely at the time impending collapse of the healthcare startup which attracted investment from well connected figures in the criminal gang purporting to govern the United States from Washington, DC including Henry Kissinger (WOT:nonperson) and former Senate majority leader Bill Frist, MD (WOT:nonperson). United States Marine Corps General James Mattis (WOT:nonperson) even ended up on the Board of Theranos after intervening to protect a relationship between the firm and the United States military. Between October and today the firm once valued at 9 billion United States dollars generated much noise as the reliable rumours that their product's inaccuracy rendered it worthless were confirmed. On the way to building a 9 billion United States dollar valuation, the product simply never worked in spite of numerous fraudulent misrepresentations that it did. Sorry for your loss.

Social Media Warrior Follows LinkedIn Hack With MySpace Hack

Posted on by

The hacker known as Peace, who Qntra reported was responsible for the leak of LinkedIn data, has announced he is now in possession of passwords and emails for more than 360 million MySpace users and will be selling access for the price of 6 Bitcoin. Although unclear when the data was originally obtained, it is believed to be from an old unreported breach from June 2013. MySpace, once the dominant social media site a decade ago has shifted it's focus to becoming a music network and was purchased by Time, Inc. in February of this year. MySpace attempted to sooth fears on it's blog stating "No user financial information was therefore involved in this incident; the only information exposed was users’ email address and Myspace username and password." although research shows password reuse across sites generally leads to further incidents. MySpace claims they have almost one billion registered users and 50 million unique visitors per month.
