Is it really any revelation that many (if not most) cryptocurrencies in the top 100 market cap are useless and scammy?<p>Also, why make us wait instead of releasing the leak immediately? Why disseminate the leak via twitter? Something fishy is going on here or this supposed leaker is somewhat incompetent.<p>In any case, I look forwards to the outcome.
Of course this is as cryptic as can be. Hoping some good journalists can get their hands on this and start sussing things out. Will these be the panama papers of crypto? Time will tell I suppose
> June 15th will publish excerpts from: [...] killing and stealing the crypto of an individual with a group of friends (coordinated through telegram)<p>Oh dear
How do I know is not an attempt to manipulate the crypto market or to cause panic for some reason?<p>To be clear, I have nothing to do with crypto nor my dumb brain can understand how even crypto works!<p>The only crypto I know is the term "cryptography" LOL!

Cool story, but with so many things to eavesdrop on a so-called end-to-end secure platform, wasn't anything more interesting? Like state secrets or child trafficking?
telegram scammers often use reverse-psychology scamming because they are so proficient in it, that they become pretty meta. this might be itself one of those.
