This guy is a walking, talking points symposium of garbage.John Amato (Crooks and Liars)
Ok y’all, we’ve talked about stock market manipulation and we’ve talked about crypto fraud and the First Crime Family, but have we talked about Howard Lutnick and how money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?
The Cryptocalypse Chronicles has a multi post series, of which part two is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether, and does business with gangs and sanctioned individuals and nations like Hamas, North Korea and Iran, and funds #pigButchering scams and illegal weapons and drug trades.

Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)
Howard Lutnick manages a huge pile of money for Tether, a sketchy offshore company whose name appears frequently in criminal indictments. He also just became co-chair of the Trump transition team.Michel de Cryptadamus (The Cryptocalypse Chronicles)

1/ the fact that #Tether never took any action before today to block the world's foremost russian #ransomware laundering crypto exchange (#Garantex) from using their #USDT token tells you everything you need to know about Tether (and therefore about Trump's Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick, who manages Tether's money).
IMHO the fact that this is happening now suggests that the Trump administration has already made some kind of deal with #Putin.

Garantex says 'USDT in Russian wallets under threat' as Tether freezes $27M
Garantex was sanctioned by the EU in February as it stepped up its efforts to bring an end to “Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.”Mark Toon (Protos)
The ofcl line from the #US admin is that #Trump is not interfering in #Ukraine’s domestic politics. #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick denied his boss was “weighing into Ukrainian politics,” adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace.
But the behavior of Trump & his ofcls suggests quite the opposite. Trump has accused #Zelensky of being a “dictator without elections,” & hinted he would not be “around very long” if he didn’t do a deal w/ #Russia.
#Musk’s business interests…have prompted concerns about #ConflictsOfInterest as he makes important decisions in DC.
Wed, #PublicInterest groups expressed concern that #HowardLutnick’s plans to change the #broadband program will benefit Musk.
“Fiber broadband is widely understood to be better than other internet options — like #Starlink’s #satellites — because it delivers significantly faster speeds,” said Drew Garner, dir of policy engagement for nonprofit Benton Inst for Broadband & Society.
The program’s rules, which were created during the #Biden admin, previously favored broadband lines made of fiber-optic cables attached to homes.
“The department is ripping out the Biden administration’s pointless requirements,” #HowardLutnick said. The #Commerce Dept will also remove #regulatory & other barriers that slow down construction & connection to households, he added.

The #Trump admin said on Wednesday that it would overhaul a $42B federal grant program aimed at expanding high-speed #internet to the nation, including easing some rules that could benefit #ElonMusk’s #satellite internet service, #Starlink.
The program will be revamped to “take a tech-neutral approach” in its distribution of funds to states, #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick said.

#BREAKING:
#Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick called Premier #DougFord today after his press conference - call described as "tough" and "aggressive" with Lutnick telling Ford to stand down. Premier said no and that if anything, he'll go harder, according to 2 senior govt sources #ONpoli #CANpoli #USpoli
The advisory cmtes’ — typically from universities, think tanks & interest groups, as well as from private companies — provided advice & feedback to #FederalAgencies but had no decision-making authority. But their sudden termination could add to concerns that the #Trump admin is planning on interfering w/govt statistics, especially because the terminations came after #HowardLutnick, the secy of #Commerce, suggested he might change the way the govt reports certain economic data.
Google is citing a trillion dollars lost to crypto #AI scams (just on mobile devices!) in its new security blog posting.
A trillion. fucking. dollars.
Now i don't know how reliable that number is but i also don't doubt for a second that the real number is something like that, within maybe an order of magnitude.
I don't think there's too many examples in human history when non-state actor criminal groups controlled nation state levels of assets like this. in the biggest picture this is what is destabilizing the world. these guys paid for #Brexit, they paid for the #Trump campaign, took over countries in SE Asia, and so on. and it's all facilitated by crypto, mostly #Tether, #JustinSun, and #HowardLutnick.
and it’s going to get a lot worse.
