Little country mouse went in to see all the city mice.

not that anyone cares, but a business partner of the president of the united states (Justin Sun) is running a #cryptocurrency marketplace (#HTX) that appears to be shipping millions of dollars worth of #Tether to #Iranian #crypto businesses.

a russian hosting service that takes payment in crypto, Aeza Group, was just hit with #OFAC sanctions.

they've sent funds to a bunch of the shadiest crypto exchanges - #Cryptomus, #MEXC, #Binance, and (of course) #HTX, the crypto exchange run by the business partner of the president of the united states.

also looks like they took payment in #Tether, the #stablecoin whose money is managed by america's secretary of commerce howard lutnick.

it's official: His Excellency Justin Sun, a man instrumental to the building of the #Tether cartel (a massive money laundering machine on a scale the world has never seen) with financial connections to every kind of pig butchering scam, terrorist financing group, and ransomware ransom, will be returning to the U.S. to dine with the president after years of being more or less a fugitive on the run from both the U.S. and Chinese authorities.

The United States of America has become a mafia state where those in power are unafraid of engaging and encouraging every time of crime (up to and including violence) against the governed in order to enrich themselves.

The Trump family's new #stablecoin #USD1 is now live on one of the shadiest of all the offshore (pronounced "Chinese") crypto exchange, #HTX (FKA #Huobi, Trump's new business partner #JustinSun renamed it when he "bought" it a few years ago).

So a random Asian crypto company #OrbiterFinance just announced they were donating to the Trump #inauguration. These things happened:

1. They sent a txn of Trump's own #WLFI token to... someone.
2. #JustinSun's crypto exchange #HTX listed Orbiter Finance's token #OBT for trading

To me it looks like there's two possibilities here:

1. Random crypto companies are publicly claiming to be bribing the President of the United States using his own #cryptocurrency as a way of currying favor with #POTUS.
2. Random crypto companies are pretending to donate to the inauguration w/payments in the POTUS’s own cryptocurrency to curry favor with Justin Sun, the largest shareholder in Donald Trump's #WorldLibertyFinancial scam.

Both possibilities are very bad

with the possible exception of BitGet the markets where you can trade the TRUMP #memecoin are a veritable who's who of the scammiest and most chinese organized crime connected crypto exchanges.

#HTX is owned by #JustinSun, the guy who bought $30 million of trump's #WorldLibertyFi token. Most of the rest are part of the #Tether cartel (which Justin Sun is also part of).

Merry Christmas Eve from my drive home from work in the #HTX

You know how sometimes after happy hour you're hit with the sudden carnivorous desire for steak but you're not interested in making it a candle light dinner?

Introducing Steak Nights #HTX, a public calendar of daily steak night specials across #Houston!

Yes — there is a steak night, every weekday night, including Fridays! Never feel under dressed for steak again.
