Terra/Luna wouldn’t have been « attacked ». It’d be an… inside job.

in #hive-1679223 years ago

The Terra/UST saga and debacle has now taken a downright dark tone. According to a chain analysis of the transactions that triggered the UST depeg on May 7th 2022, the wallet that started it all, by selling over 85 million UST and swapping them for USDC, belongs to a… "Terraform Labs" developer or member.

The article on CoinDesk (see link below) goes on :

« The transactional history of that wallet showed it regularly sent huge amounts of UST to crypto exchange Binance. Uppsala [the cryptoforensics firm] showed that the wallet transacted with several other Terra wallets such as “terra1gr0xesnseevzt3h4nxr64sh5gk4dwrwgszx3nw” (referred to as terra1gr). This aroused suspicions at Uppsala – since terra1gr was one of the official wallets of the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), which was set up by Kwon and other Terraform Labs officials to create a reserve for the "algorithmic" protocol behind UST. »

And another wallet involved in that sabotage scheme, terra13s, now serves as one of the official validators for the Terra 2.0 blockchain…

Oftentimes the fact of calling out a « conspiracy » is deemed rubbish by mainstream media and all politically correct actors. But when transparent and immutable on-chain data reveals the direct responsible for the worst cryptomarkets crash ever, it’s hard to deny reality.

We'll wait for more review and detailed analysis of those transactions to draw a definitive conclusion.

In case the inside job would be confirmed, one of the inevitable questions would then turn as: who paid Terraform Labs, or at least one of its upper level members (who had the right to move huge amounts of UST from Terraform Labs related wallets) to try and ruin the cryptosphere, both financially and reputation wise?

UH OH... the implications of that being an inside job are HUGE...

Agreed!

If it's confirmed, apart from leading the cryptosphere to avoid algorithmic stablecoins that aren't fully collateralized with "solid assets", I'd think it should lead the space to begin to "containerize" some of its fields, to prevent a contagion similar to the one that happened with the UST rout.

Looks highly suspicious. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Exactly!

I'll try to update the Hivers in case I'd hear more around that (strong) hypothesis.

And many thanks for your comment 😊.

Thank you!

Done, @hivebuzz! 😁

Thank you for your support @ijatz, much appreciated!

Mind blown!

There might be a Game of Thrones in the cryptoverse. I wonder if a group of insiders will come to light. I'll have to keep a close eye on you; you find amazing stories like this all the time.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, bro!!

There definitely is a "Game of Thrones" unfolding in the cryptoverse. You've probably seen that FTX - that, btw, belongs to the Tether mafia and other very fishy architectures - is now profiling as the "Federal Reserve of Cryptos", and try to bail out/take over BlockFi, Voyager and other huge lending platforms (without even mentioning their possible purchase of RobinHood).

Nothing very "peer-to-peer" or decentralized and transparent in all that shit(coin)show, lol, that's why any modest effort to push distributed protocols and projects is even more worthy 🙃.
