Gotbit: история PR катастрофы
Хоть маркет-мейкинг и стал новой нормой на криптовалютном, и не только, рынке (возможно Андрюнин и его способ продвижения собственных услуг приложили к этому руку) , вся история взлета и падения Gotbit - наглядный пример того что случается, когда у бизнеса отсутствует понимание как правильно работать с медиа.
These are the first crypto bros arrested in the US *just* for market manipulation and not for other kinds of fraud. Hopefully it will not be the last.

"Federal prosecutors in Boston charged the firms Gotbit, ZM Quant, CLS Global and MyTrade and their leaders and employees in a takedown that also involved arrests overseas. Five people have already agreed to plead guilty or have done so."
The fraud involved manipulating #SAITAMA and #VZZN tokens on #Uniswap (a company backed by #Trump supporters #a16z etc.) which is something I wrote a long and detailed piece about here: https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/112972939274517315
and predicted specifically this token being wash traded over a year ago here: https://x.com/Cryptadamist/status/1687564633207406593
