It’s just January 2024 and we’re starting the year with some back problems.

Quite reputable crypto companies, Cointelegraph, WalletConnect, and Token Terminal have been compromised by hackers after they managed (somehow) to get access to their official email service.

These emails, coming from their original domain, promote token airdrops and contain malicious links.

Thus, we’ve seen a few hundred people getting scammed for a total of ~$580k (at the time of writing). You almost thought that this era of email phishing ended a few years ago.

Guys, just don’t click on suspicious “token airdrops”, it might soon became like binary options. 😂

3AC founder, SU ZHU, “Really enjoyable experience overall” said about his experience in prison

Su Zhu, the co-founder of the Three Arrows Capital, discovered the unexpected joy of prison life.

Su Zhu was so terminally online that he had to go to literal prison to experience the same sense of “kinship with his ancestors” that the rest of us get from just logging off and walking barefoot on a beach with a cool breeze
Truly an incredible man

Who knew a Singaporean jail cell could rival a luxury spa in providing the "best sleep" of one's life?

How it started?

In June 2022, 3AC failed to meet a series of margin calls from its lenders, leading to a domino effect of financial losses – $3.5B in losses, more precisely.

How it went?

Zhu was arrested in Singapore in September 2023 when he attempted to leave the country after a local court sentenced him to 4 months in prison.

How was it, actually?

Explaining that there are no beds in Singapore jails, Zhu said that sleeping on the ground decompressed his spine and allowed him to experience the “best sleep” of his life. I think it was easier with a chiropractor.
