🤔 Is CZ making a comeback at Binance?

Changpeng Zhao just tweaked his X bio — from ex-@binance back to plain @binance.

🔥 This comes right after reports that Binance may soon escape DOJ oversight (the compliance monitor imposed in 2023 as part of a $4.3B settlement).

U.S. prosecutors are now in talks to scale back or even remove the monitor.

So… was it ever really “ex”? 👀

Coinbase’s $400M hack just got a wild plot twist

According to a new report, the data leak wasn’t just some faceless cyberattack — it started with a TaskUs support worker in India, Ashita Mishra, who literally photographed Coinbase users’ data (SSNs, bank details, docs) and sold them for $200 a pop. 🤳

She allegedly snapped up to 200 pics a day from Sept 2024–Jan 2025, roped in colleagues (including team leads), and fueled a black market where scammers targeted 69,000+ Coinbase users. 📸

Victims report getting calls from “Coinbase security” convincing them to move crypto to fake “safe wallets” — with scammers bragging about raking in $7M daily. 🙀💰

Coinbase originally said the breach was in Dec 2024, but court docs suggest it began months earlier. TaskUs even hinted that Coinbase employees themselves might have been involved.

👉 Moral of the story: if your exchange support staff is armed with a smartphone, your KYC might already be on sale. 👀

NBA star Kevin Durant can’t access his old Coinbase account, where he started stacking BTC back in 2016. 🤷

Durant bought BTC when it was $360–$1,000. Now it’s at ~$116K — over +11,000% since then. 🚀
