SEC targets influencers, Atlas Trading founders targeted by SEC for alleged fraud via Twitter and Discord
A group of Twitter stock influencers, including Zack Morris and PJ Matlock, are alleged to have conspired to defraud investors.
The SEC says the Atlas Trading founders and their team colluded to manipulate stocks and earned about $100 million.
The SEC alleges the group earned about $100 million in roughly three years of engaging in a fraudulent scheme to scam investors. Atlas Trading’s founders are said to have conspired with several other individuals in pursuit of artificially boosting share prices of small-cap stocks.
What’s notable here is not so much the scale of the alleged fraud but the mechanisms by which it was perpetrated — namely, communication via platforms like Twitter and Discord.
Crypto and NFT trades were also often discussed and promoted inside Atlas Trading’s Discord server, which has 236,000 members.
Many crypto communities have sprung up via Discord servers, which are independently operated and allow for chat and voice-based communication, document sharing and mass engagement.
Scam artists also use Discord as a vehicle for targeting victims. Would-be fraudsters pretend to be well-known companies or brands in an effort to obtain victims’ crypto private keys, for example.

Dutch central bank says KuCoin is not licensed and 'illegally offering services'
"This may increase the risk of customers becoming involved in money laundering or terrorist financing," says De Nederlandsche Bank.
In 2021, De Nederlandsche Bank made similar allegations of illegal operations against Binance Holdings Limited for allegedly violating AML/CFT regulations. Binance later paid an “administrative fine” of more than 3 million euros due to the violations.

Crypto FUD Heightens.
400k Holders Less - The number of addresses with USDT on Ethereum dropped from 4.01M to 3.57M this week.
The reason behind this move remains unclear, though it could be linked to Wall Street's increased short-selling activity against USDT which was reported by Bloomberg.

An exploit on Raydium is being investigated that affected liquidity pools. Initial understanding is owner authority was overtaken by attacker, but authority has been halted on AMM & farm programs for now.

Blur, NFT marketplace backed by Paradigm, has almost 8% of volume washed, while market leader OpenSea sees only 2.4%.
On these platforms, which do not offer obvious token rewards, the motivation of wash traders is likely to be gaming the algorithms to make certain collections appear higher in rankings.
So, to sum things up, wash trading on Ethereum is massive, particularly on platforms which offer token rewards for trading.
The “huge” volume of certain marketplaces is a complete mirage.
