    Community Alert: Multiple verified WooX users have reported withdrawals stuck in pending or processing over the past three days.WooX was incubated by Kronos Research, and in Q4 2025 it was acquired by FusionX Digital, a firm which allegedly has ties to BitMart founder Sheldon Xia.On July 26, 2026, BitMart announced it would cease operations and restructure. Its users have been left without access to millions in stuck funds, with complaints increasing on X. Sheldon Xia has published only vague statements claiming user assets are safe, and those claims still have not been independently verified.As of this post, WooX has not yet issued a statement.

    It appears the bridge TeleSwap had a $735K+ exploit on July 15, 2026 and still has not disclosed the incident publicly after five days.Shortly after the suspicious outflows its Bitcoin hot wallet stopped processing transactions. Two hours ago the attacker deposited the funds to Tornado.Theft addresses bc1pz95zv3qhpmt52yezs84a5zrddrk5jsxm8a60rln5kzlk06e87a3q8pf79l 0x2448cbaee50a67030692b7519a954e5550dc2718 0xfc5048fbba2f74ed482ffcd7663601f818c5bb47 0xf8706a51f8df01a71f408e50c901dd14916a12c7TeleSwap Bitcoin hot wallet bc1q5wnpn4k99wc587maaaa6eqnx27g4r6mduxg2s5

    Hot take: All hardware wallets are complete garbage and l do not advise using them for important tasks like signing transactions or storing funds.Much better to have a separate iPhone with its only purpose being to use as your hardware wallet.Ledger is the worst and Ledger Live has regular updates for UI / apps for no good reason that break simple actions.(Only do this if you are not low iq)

    Over the past week multiple people created ZACHXBT meme coins on various chains using my likeness to take advantage of the recent narrative.None of the tokens were promoted by myself as I have always stated I will never support or launch a meme coin.All tokens sent to my donation wallet were market sold and the entire amount was sent to charity.~$41K total was donated to Direct Relief & Give Directly via The Giving Block to support the Venezuela earthquake response.Transaction reciepts:1). 25K USDT sent to Give Directly on July 6, 2026 at 4:16 am UTC 0x687556d7011b0750f3daf9e3a9f800d04ba233c84362faf8c3851b40cd0f71ae2). 5k USDT sent to Direct Relief on July 6, 2026 at 4:51 am UTC 0xc9146816d5c0d97b432d663b422b46854ba6e047ce7e9ea8073d43c1205ba0703). 153 SOL ($11K) total sent to Direct Relief on June 28, 2026 44idg3MiJiprAnqBbt5fZM9K4deDzZdqnJ3dPtS6hFLqQk3omvqWz7LjgCapMX94q7Ba

    One hour ago funds from the recent Humanity Protocol exploit and Kelp DAO exploit commingled suggesting potential overlap between the attackers for both incidents.Transaction hash: 5d31655a905b1b39ce1a477268b5084cc821157371860b792e60a3fa4aa24931On April 18, 2026 ~$292M was stolen from Kelp DAO's LayerZero bridge due to compromised infra and Lazarus Group was alleged as the attacker.On June 9, 2026 ~$32M was stolen from Humanity Protocol team addresses and deployer after a developers device became compromised.The H token previously raised concerns over insider supply control and active market making tactics on CEXs where the exploit coincided shortly before investor unlocks.However I believe the new evidence from above rules out insiders as being behind the exploit.H/t @specterinvestigation for helping flag these transactions.

    A few hours ago the price of M (MemeCore) suddenly crashed >75% on centralized exchanges from $14B to $3.8B FDV falling outside of the top 25 tokens ranked by market cap.Myself, Mlm, & Wazz previously highlighted a number of red flags on X about MemeCore with inorganic supply concentration and deceptive practices by its team to boost user numbers.According to data on Arkham there's not been a single transfer >$50k onchain in 2+ weeks on BSC.Dexscreener data indicates there's <$100K total liquidity onchain on BSC.The community needs answers from Binance & Bybit about why M was listed for perps and why Kraken & Bitget listed M spot as these highly manipulated tokens continue to give our industry a bad reputation and extract from retail.

    Three hours ago 10.6K ETH ($18.5M) moved from an address linked to the $575M Hashflare investment fraud after sitting dormant onchain for 3.5 yrs.In 2025 both co-founders Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin plead guilty and forfeited $450M of assets to the US government.The entity began laundering funds via HiFiSwap and Near Intents from Ethereum to Bitcoin and began using two instant exchanges.H/t to Cyvers for helping first flag these movements to me.Hashflare address 0xff575a22975cc413771825eb84c163189a4d5d22 Hashflare transfer 0xd0eafd5c03b24c2f54c579745cacbffe4c6df2d19973e55d52a5f40aa1d089e0 Recipient address 0xc82f007bb4096a47d14ed0d46ee8143d37539d04 0x3297a41f528345c3b97af8c6ffe1401cc07b2527
