[WRITEUP] Criticism of r/privacy and r/privacytoolsio moderation censorship and how Apple/Brave/Chrome/GrapheneOS cult armies are destroying privacy communities
Hello! I wanted to discuss this on the soon-to-come occasion of 400 subscribers (398 as I write this), but I guess I will do it now, since the time is just right. This is a long post, so embrace yourself. This is an untalked topic, and you will rarely, if ever, find a record or post about the same.
Censorship in privacy communities is ironic, especially when the communities stand as the biggest ones on reddit. A lot of voices either go silent by account deletion and reappearing as new usernames, or they never speak up since they have been effectively "banned" so have no representation. A lot of this can be easily credited to folks breaking rules, which moderation would claim is certainly a need to manage large public forums. However, there is a section of people who criticise the Apple/Brave/Chrome/GrapheneOS cult armies, and this is where the problem starts to rise.
THE FOUR CULT ANTI-PRIVACY ARMIES
Apple cult armies are in denial of Apple devices being privacy nightmares due to being closed source blackboxes. These are good for no more than protecting your data from your nosy girlfriend or the neighbour computer whiz kid.
There is plenty of evidence that goes to prove why Apple devices are nightmares for privacy. This is a comprehensive list of links, images and articles for read:

Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave's "acceptable" advertisements.
NEW EVIDENCE (June 6, 2020): Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)
These people are partly joint with the GrapheneOS cult, primarily due to its lead developer orchestrating all these things in hindsight and his followers purposely sharing his opinion garbage as "facts".
Most of this was debunked by u/saintjohnny (no longer on reddit) here: https://removeddit.com/firefox/comments/gokcis/
Ridiculous things like lead developer accusing firefox of being a "deployed" army against him and 4chan being used to harm his image: https://i.postimg.cc/3RwLT8Nj/Screenshot-from-2020-05-26-23-10-20.png
The moderator u trai_dep has taken his time to censor me off completely, so that none of my criticisms can be ever read about his dictatorial moderation and the GrapheneOS discussion I had with its lead developer, who at the end gave me plenty evidence about his rudeness, ironically which was against the rules of the subreddit.
https://removeddit.com/privacytoolsIO/comments/gs4uv7/_/fs2ysdm/
Criticism of GrapheneOS lies on one of his comments about OnePlus and Xiaomi apparently not making good enough devices: https://np.reddit.com/privacytoolsIO/comments/gs4uv7/i_dont_fully_trust_grapheneos/fs82fdv/
There is also the issue that he always claims Google Pixel 3/3a is a must with Titan M chip running non verifiable code that one has to rely on for Google's claim of being same as open sourced code, and that it does not have spyware. And he maintains his stand about developing the ROM exclusively for the Pixel devices, which also house Pixel Visual Core, a proprietary Google-only CPU+GPU unit independent of the Snapdragon SoC and with negligible documentation claimed "only" to be used for HDR+ camera algorithm processing. Google has had a history of lying with things like the Location History toggle, or their known data collection business and known relationship with NSA.
EVIDENCE RECORD
I have managed to collect and create what is an evidence record establishing the fact that select moderators either have some kind of agenda or are destroying the privacy community as a whole on the internet itself.
The below large part is a direct copy of the "Criticism of..." section in my Threat Model writeup in the sidebar.
OTHER ISSUES, CRITICISM OF MODERATION OF R_PRIVACY
Telling me that I am a burden to the subreddit is outright super offensive, in my most humble opinion. Moreover, they have a strong opinionated bias towards Apple (here too), however no reason to complain for their opinions if they talk outside /privacy and /privacytoolsIO where they moderate. Take the mod hat off if you want. To their credit, one of them did confirm they have a light threat model and primary goal is to thwart mass surveillance, around Level 3 in my book.
You will always be criticised for complaining about US and rationally judging Chinese technology, and effectively repeatedly banned by American moderators and muted from modmail everytime you complain about people personally name calling you "Chinese intelligence proponent" or "Chinese/Huawei plant" or "idiot".
I cannot make text posts anymore in that subreddit as of 11/02/2020.
Lots of evidence events happened followed after my smartphone guide linked above: https://imgur.com/a/TqOkQk6
In atomicratsen image, you can see proof of them allowing Sinophobic propaganda in the name of arguments, followed by the last image. So that is another thing allowed here.
Below comment is the admission of being lazy, incompetent and calling actual gilded contributor users "burden": https://np.reddit.com/privacy/comments/enoui9/5_reasons_not_to_use_whatsapp/fe6qgd7/ Just in case comment goes poof, screenshot.
Moreover, one of them made it clear in modmail that Sinophobic propaganda are "arguments" and will go uncriticised, likely patriotism owing to a global subreddit's moderation which seems unfair and caters not to all but to favouritism to a larger US/West EU audience on reddit, as said earlier:
The thing is, making an argument that China is shady is that: an argument. I mean, geez: Hong Kong. Enough said. So long as they're being civil about it, it's actually what this Sub is for.
Do you mention anything related to China or their products in your post? If so, it's fair game, and we expect everyone to conduct themselves like rational adults.
I'll check out the reports, but if they're conducting themselves along the lines of our sidebar rules, I (obviously) won't be taking any action. But I also hope that you don't get drawn into arguments that might end up earning yourself a time-out. We're somewhat patient, but at the same time, we can't spend too many man-hours tending a particular subscriber too much. Our time is volunteered and there are 600K+ subscribers. It's not fair to them.
Is this all fair to me, a cooperating member? If moderation and volunteering time is such a great issue, it would be a good step to take a backseat and discuss this in a rational non-prejudiced and less authoritarian manner. Why not allow others to take part and aid in moderating that subreddit?
They have repeatedly banned me for nonsensical reasons, standing on last warning, and will likely do so after this post (once for claiming this comment means I called the user asshat instead of their comment, when it never violated /privacy 's rule 5, and another comment where I said to use Win 7/8.1 instead of Win 10, mods claimed it as gatekeeping and banned me for 14 days because I am criticising some things they truly love).
New evidence as of few days ago (Feb 11, 2020): https://i.imgur.com/vOyaidS.png
https://np.reddit.com/privacytoolsIO/comments/gtd3pl/fsb0m7f/ Use removeddit or snew.github.io in case the moderator deletes my comments. The modmail message thread (https://i.imgur.com/JwYaGJU.jpg) and my now shadowbanned comment (https://i.imgur.com/uUrMqyk.png).
(June 10, 2020)
The moderator trai_dep now wants a sitewide ban on me for what is informing a reddit user of legitimate logical criticism of GrapheneOS. He calls this harassment, as he has done this multiple times with me in the past (unfortunately for which comments are deleted and evidence not being able to be recorded). However, this is taking it too far. https://i.imgur.com/dX73ZNX.png
trai_dep revengefully deletes my famous gilded smartphone hardening no root guide with 1400+ votes. Modmail proofs post with timestamps: https://old.reddit.com/privatelife/comments/h8hsdh/exclusive_rprivacy_moderator_deleted_smartphone/
SELF TAKE ON THE MATTER
This happened with me on privacy, which is a major why I started this community. There must exist a place free of prejudiced bias and free of any forms of bigotry for privacy, truth and freedom loving folks. The fact that the moderators can get away with it by saying nice words after the ban reeks of a dictator that loves to give speech about care of its citizens, yet will slice anyone up. trai_dep and his friends continue to support the bigotry and these cult armies, which is likely because they do not understand nearly any higher order of technical aspect of privacy threat modelling, and have got no education on the same.
Privacy communities on reddit are a huge problem when it comes to dealing with the cult brigading, and instead critics are targeted by the cult armies which are let loose in these very communities. privacy and /privacytoolsIO are not true representatives of communities giving good advice for higher privacy and security, unfortunately ruined both by the moderators (many of whom are iPhone users themselves just like trai_dep) and the cult brigade armies.

How to trade Bitcoin Future
https://preview.redd.it/zel9pxcl8df51.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21c74d0ccc5556ea744088a283c44819fba59aef
Bitcoin is troublesome to use.
But bitcoin's isue may build it additional valuable.
So, what' reality regarding bitcoin's future?
Bitcoin mining may be a senseless waste of energy.
As bitcoin hits mainstream media, the subject of bitcoin mining
bubble regarding to pop.For ten years, the media has enjoyed painting bitcoin as a bubble concerning to pop. They've gleefully pronounced the bubble popped and bitcoin dead … over 350 times. However the reality regarding bitcoin is that it keeps coming back back. Why?
Charlie Munger called bitcoin "worthless artificial gold." Others in the media have likened bitcoin to a bubble, a "tulip mania," and different strong statements
Each time bitcoin improves itself (like with Segwit
Segregated Witnesses. A protocol implemented by Bitcoin to extend transaction speed. SegWit allows a lot of transactions to be written into a single block on a blockchain.
or the Lightning Network), or will increase in value, the media is keen and ready to jump on it, decrying and denouncing it.
Therefore what's the reality behind bitcoin's price -- is it extremely a bubble?
The reality regarding bitcoin is straightforward; it's experiencing the same rise and fall cycles as each new technology and asset catego
The web also experienced a bubble. Shares of dotcom firms rose by a thousandpercent on a daily basis. Then it all tumbled down. However we have a tendency to're still using the web, aren't we have a tendency to? More than ever, in fact.
Stocks conjointly experienced big boom and bust cycles, especially in their early days.
We might feel like stocks have been around forever -- and to us they need. However stocks conjointly had a starting, and a rough one too. Once upon a time in 1531, when the first stocks were invented, they saw extraordinary volatility, scams, and no regulation. In fact, before stock exchanges, they were sold at occasional shops -- just like cryptocurrencies were sold on la peer to peer
marketplace, before exchanges came online.
Even property, viewed by the majority as "the safest investment" experienced a dramatic cycle. Business Insider reported that "Between 2006 and 2014, nearly ten million homeowners in America saw the foreclosure sale of their own homes." And tens of thousands became homeless as a result of of it. Nevertheless --- we have a tendency to're still living in homes, aren't we?
The future of bitcoin would possibly be the identical as that of stocks, bonds, assets, and the web. It rises and falls like all the others, and it is currently terribly volatile -- but that's as a result of it's young.
Stocks have been around for 400 years. Dotcom corporations for forty years. Bitcoin is solely 10 years previous -- and cryptocurrencies, normally, are even younger. But slowly, they will become a part of our daily lives.
Rich investors are manipulating costs!
Look at this headline from the Independent: "Bitcoin price Crash: 'Manipulative Whales
A very wealthy individual capable of creating massive trades.
View full glossary
' cause Cryptocurrency Market Meltdown!"
It's sensationalism, pure and straightforward. The article goes on to rant against these therefore-known as "whales" -- individuals who own voluminous dollars of BTC -- as evil-doers who's solely thought is profit.
This type of sensationalism is meant to harm Bitcoin's future; to scare people faraway from doing research and thinking for themselves.
Nonetheless, this statement is somewhat true. Up to eighty five% of Bitcoin's supply is solely owned by onepercent of wallet addresses.
But there's an important point to be made about these numbers. Most of the prime percentage of wallets is not owned by whales -- but by exchanges
On-line platforms on which people can buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
However their result is getting smaller and smaller.
A company referred to as Chainalysis -- that makes a speciality of analyzing the Bitcoin blockchain
-- found that "the actual threat that all whales pose to the cryptocurrency economy is relatively low. If they sold off their entire holdings, it'd be effectively a $3.9 billion sale at current costs. That's not even tenpercent of this total market capitalization of Bitcoin."
This is as a result of, as I hinted above, several of those wallets holding such vast sums are the 'cold wallets
' (wallets held offline) belonging to major exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and more. These wallets cannot be used to manipulate the price, diminishing the potential impact of enormous 'whales' selling their positions.
Bitcoin is simply too slow for use as a currency.
The reality regarding Bitcoin is that yes, it's slower than VISA, Mastercard, and alternative centralized electronic payment systems.
Paying together with your credit cards takes seconds and the network can handle payments around the globe twenty fouseven. But, though Bitcoin can additionally be used around the world, confirmation
of payment takes an average of 10 minutes; during the bitcoin craze recently 2017, confirmation times might take hours.
Moreover, VISA on average processes around 2,00zero transactions per second (tps). This means the amount of payments individuals make per second on the network. VISA includes a maximum of twenty four,00zero TPS. Bitcoin, by distinction, has a maximum of ten TPS. This argument has been place forward by several critics over the years and picked up by the media as the doom of bitcoin's future.
However Bitcoin could be a technology that evolves.
Now let's assume regarding Bitcoin's past for a moment. The coin and its underlying technology -- the blockchain -- are only ten years previous. When the web was ten years old -- the year was 1989. Do you keep in mind the net in 1989? I sure do.
payments in exchange for not revealing sensitive info. So, in bound ways that, BTC and cryptocurrencies offer hackers a lot of options.
However money continues to be king for every criminality.
Though it's true that hackers and phishers do typically ask for payment in BTC
There's an aphorism: "money talks." It means that that if you would like to get something done -- the best argument you can build is to place down a stack of money. When Bitcoin rose to fame, the primary headlines focused around Bitcoin being the prime choice for criminality.
But Lilita Infante, Special Agent for the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) has some contradictory info regarding this. She was one among a ten-person Cyber Investigative Task Force team whose primary aim was the dark web and crypto-related investigations. This cluster is no little force. They collaborate with the Department of Justice, FBI, and also the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. And she went on the record to talk regarding what share of bitcoin transactions are literally being employed for illegal things; she said that "illegal activity has shrunk to about 10 p.c."
Only tenp.c of all the transactions on the Bitcoin network could be used for illegal things. Which number is falling.
The fall in Bitcoin's use among criminals is due to several factors. The most prominent factor is that Bitcoin is no longer anonymous. Sciencemag wrote a full report on how governments are developing and using techniques to explore the Bitcoin blockchain and notice criminals by tracing their bitcoin payments.
Paying with bitcoin isn't simple.
I've heard this argument flow into widely throughout the years. I still hear it from my grandpa each vacation dinner. He didn't see a Bitcoin checkout option at the grocery when he bought the turkey -- therefore it'll never be used.
Perhaps Bitcoin is on its means to being such a store of worth. For 10 years now bitcoin has been ready to be saved and retrieved and exchanged -- and it's worth has only gone up (bumpy but up).

Bitcoin is difficult to use.
Bitcoin, like all new technologies, isn't the most user-friendly.
You would like to line up a wallet, bear in mind a seed phrase, and several additional steps. Sending and receiving BTC
payments additionally involves steps of copy/pasting long strings of random letters and numbers. It's powerful, I hear ya.
I additionally keep in mind all the steps I needed to require to send emails back when those were new. Insert a CD from AOL into my computer. Install AOL. Unplug my phone line. Plug in my Modem. Wait for it to make all those noises and finally connect. Then set up my AOL email and password. It was quite the method.
My grandfather never thought emails would come out and even my mother said folks would perpetually like handwriting letters (and using a physical dictionary for spell check!) and sending through the post.
Think about it the approach we tend to assume about gold. Not everyone has gold. It's also a bit difficult to own.
If you wish to own gold for its 'store of price' properties, you wish to seek out a specialized look to buy investment gold. You need to store it somewhere, sort of a personal safe or a bank vault, and bear in mind the password. This is somewhat troublesome.

Perhaps Bitcoin's problem will facilitate it retain its value, just like gold

Weekly Crypto News — July, 03
Regulation, Government, Mass Adoption
📌 The U.S. court classified Coinbase as a traditional bank after the exchange revealed its customer information at the request of the FBI. This decision was made when considering the appeal of Richard Gratkowski, sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in prison. Earlier, the FBI found out that between June 2016 and May 2017, Richard Gratkovsky used Bitcoins to purchase prohibited pornographic materials involving minors. Having detected the wallets used by him, the agency turned to Coinbase with a request to disclose information about this client. The exchange complied with this requirement without a court order.
📌 Binance Exchange has confirmed the launch of a cryptocurrency debit card in partnership with Swipe. Information about this appeared on the official website of the company but later disappeared. One of the features of the card will be the ability to exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat money in real-time. Users will be able to transfer money to the card directly from the Binance trading account. Payments will be instant, funds can be spent immediately after crediting. In addition, cardholders will be able to withdraw cash from ATMs.
📌 The District of Columbia Bar has allowed lawyers in Washington D.C. to accept payments in Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. Representatives of the organization noted that cryptocurrencies are rapidly gaining popularity as a means of payment and lawyers cannot stand aside from these changes. Acceptance of payment in crypto is permissible if the lawyer is able to ensure the safe storage of assets. To do this, he must have basic knowledge in the field of blockchain.
Projects, Collaborations, Startups
📌 BlockFi, a company operating in the cryptocurrency lending market, reported a doubling of monthly revenue in the second quarter. The driver was halving and launching a mobile application. "By now, monthly income has quadrupled since the end of last year and doubled if we start from the end of March," said Zac Prince, co-founder, and CEO of the startup.
📌 CoinGecko, an analytical service, has announced a partnership with cybersecurity company Hacken. As part of the collaboration, CoinGecko integrated into the so-called Trust Score cryptocurrency exchange security assessment metrics based on the platform data from Hacken. Among others, Hacken considers platform infrastructure security, including server security, two-factor user authentication, spam and phishing protection, and other criteria.
📌 According to Messari, the market capitalization of dollar-tied stablecoin Tether (USDT) reached $10.3 billion. The growth since the beginning of the year, when the figure was $4.76 billion, exceeded 116%. Other stablecoins are significantly inferior to USDT in terms of market supply.
📌 Binance cryptocurrency exchange has completed a major update of the trading engine, increasing the processing speed of operations by 10 times, company CEO Changpeng Zhao said. According to him, the update was the largest in the history of Binance. It took two years to develop it. Zhao noted that in doing so, the exchange is preparing the "next wave" of cryptocurrency market growth.
📌 According to Messari, Bitcoin and Ethereum account for more than 99% of the commissions received by all miners. Over the past 24 hours, the total amount of commissions in the Bitcoin network has amounted to $407,571. Ethereum has a significantly higher rate — $814,082.
📌 On June 30, at block # 637 056 in the Bitcoin network, the planned recalculation of mining complexity took place. The indicator has undergone the most insignificant change since March 22, 2010, having decreased by 0.0033% from 15.7847 T to 15.7842 T. Thus, the complexity of mining Bitcoin almost did not change for the first time in 10 years.
📌 A transaction of 101 857 BTC (~$ 933 million at the time of sending) was recorded in the Bitcoin network between anonymous addresses. Transaction passed between anonymous addresses. The commission was only 48 cents. An anonymous whale used the SegWit protocol, which reduced costs by 41%.
📌 One of the Bitcoin users included the message "Hello, Noah! Welcome to the world, little one" in one of the transactions, thus recording the birth of their first child. The unchanging and censorship-resistant nature of Bitcoin will ensure that this message remains forever on the blockchain while it continues to function. The current case demonstrates a widely discussed scenario for using the first cryptocurrency as a decentralized database.
Hacking, Cyber Crimes
📌 Russian Sergei Medvedev admitted involvement in the cybercriminal organization Infraud, which traded stolen personal data, compromised credit cards, malware, and other illegal things. "Over the course of its seven-year history, Infraud caused an estimated loss of about $2.2 billion and more than $568 million in actual losses to a wide range of financial institutions, sellers and individuals," the US Department of Justice declared.
📌 The criminals received a $1.14 million ransom after a successful attack on the University of California. The software installed by hackers encrypted the data on the university's servers at the School of Medicine, making the information temporarily unavailable. To fix the problem, the institution had to pay 116.4 BTC.
📌 An unknown hacker managed to withdraw $500,000 in altcoins WETH, WBTC, SNX, and LINK from the pool of the Balancer Labs DeFi project using a smart contract vulnerability that allowed an attacker to create a shortage of funds in the pools.

Florida to Washington still harassed
Mine began Feb 2019. I began receiving communications with whom I thought were neghibors talking or yelling at me from either outside or on my roof or in my attic. The Communicators claimed to be everyone including NSA FBI FDLE DOD DOHS to scientologists which I know nothing about. They convinced me that I was going to get paid a large amount of Bitcoin if I told the psych doctors I was hearing voices (which I am via live communications). I was given various meds which had no effect whatsoever on the nonstop laughter or communications. Upon release from the facility in Florida I immediately got on a plane to Washington State. During flight 33k feet in air over Kansas the communications were staticy, I could turn my right ear upwards and it would semi pop and all communications would cease.. When I would level my head my ear would pop and communions immediately return.. They are just as happy if not more so and interested me being in Washington smh..They make claims that they IMMEDIATELY prove that they"can make my dick get hard with the push of a button." My Binance and Bitrue cryptocurrency accounts have been hacked and passwords changed. There are unauthorized ip addresses listed on my Binance account originating in New Orleans LA and Fort Lauderdale FL. Neither do I have"known" tangible relationships in either place. I have reported all of this to every federal agency in the damn federal online directory and have received not even a response. Their testing has moved to a more docile strange relationship of sorts. Interesting though that I'm actually able to share my life and all my experiences with someone.. Even though they are stolen not shared it is what it is. Best advice I can give is learn to trust yourself and the decisions you make because they will do everything to attempt to make you doubt yourself and your decisions. Be strong ride the wave read Revelations and know that all that's meant to be will be. Anyone that knows of active lawsuits or happenings or solutions feel free to email me at [email protected]

The Biggest Scams In The Crypto History: Part 2
Here's the sequel of our previous article. You wanted — you got it. Let's roll!
OneCoin is a good example of a Ponzi scheme. In 2015, the Indian company One Coin Limited began to issue digital currency without a blockchain and decentralization. The old-school MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) strategy was used for the distribution of coins.
The company was selling a wide range of training packages on crypto trading, mining and successful life. There were textbooks, presentations, and other rubbish, among which were OneCoin tokens. They were supposed to allow users to get even more tokens. But the thing was that only One Coin Limited had exclusive rights to issue of coinage. So there were no other options for mining this coin.
On the international conference the founder of OneCoin, Ruja Ignatova, presents these tokens as the Bitcoin killer. See how easy it is to fool users?
Over the years, the company has spread its network globally. And only in 2017, the project gets into a number of investigations and restrictions. Owners and employees of the company more and more often could not answer questions from investors and carried on with the nonsense about "a bright crypto-future."
Finally, regulators and banks in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Belize, Thailand and other countries have banned the trade of OneCoin and warned users not to get engaged with this company.
In early March 2019, the current OneCoin cryptocurrency leader Konstantin Ignatov, brother of Ruja Ignatova, was arrested at Los Angeles airport. He is accused of fraud and creating a financial pyramid.
According to the United States Attorney's Office, Ignatov and his sister misled investors all over the world, and as a result, the people invested billions of dollars in a fraud scheme. They are accused of building a billion-dollar cryptocurrency company, based entirely on deception.
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney, Jr. said:
"OneCoin was a cryptocurrency existing only in the minds of its creators and their co-conspirators. Unlike authentic cryptocurrencies, which maintain records of their investors' transaction history, OneCoin had no real value. It offered investors no method of tracing their money, and it could not be used to purchase anything. In fact, the only ones who stood to benefit from its existence were its founders and co-conspirators."
Despite all hardships, One Coin Limited continues to work. If you check out their website you will find everything there: a meaningless text about the benefits of a "revolutionary" token and other signs of a high-quality international project that deceives people.
It's not possible to take your savings to the grave, right? More than 100,000 clients of QuadrigaCX are ready to argue with that. So let's try to recount the details of this strange story.
QuadrigaCX was created in 2013 and was Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange.
In December 2018, Gerald Cotten (founder and CEO of the QuadrigaCX) and his wife — Jennifer Robertson, were in India on their honeymoon. During this trip Cotten suddenly passed away from Crohn's disease. After his death, it turned out that Gerald was the only one who had access to cold wallets of the exchange platform.
Changpeng Zhao (Binance CEO) comments this situation on Twitter:
"That's sad. There are many solutions to split private keys or signing to achieve 3/5, 5/7 etc. Never neglect security. Also, never have CEO carry private keys. Bad on many levels."
On January 25, 2019 (that is, almost two months after Cotten's death) a special meeting was convened to appoint QuadrigaCX's new directors. As a result, the inconsolable widow Jennifer Robertson, her stepfather Thomas Beazley and Jack Martel were elected to take charge of a company. By the way, this meeting was held by a conference call as the widow was very busy by hastily selling the property of her deceased husband. Indeed, there was something to deal with: a yacht, a plane, and several houses. Also, dearly departed managed to take care of his Chihuahuas by opening a special trust account for them in the amount of $100,000 (which is interesting, as Cotten did not show such forethought about the clients of his company).
It's worth to mention that the clients of QuadrigaCX had problems with the exchange for a long time — mainly related to the withdrawal of funds. The first wake-up calls took place in March 2018, when press reports negatively about delays in the withdrawal of funds the total amount of which exceeded $100,000. But that's all just moonshine compared to the fact that in June 2017 the exchange platform lost about 15 million Canadian dollars — as explained to the community, due to a bug in the smart contract. As a result, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) froze about $22 million in QuadrigaCX accounts. This happened in November 2018, and for all users, it would have meant the end of a remarkable business but Mr. Cotten wasn't explaining the problems to customers, wasn't trying to solve them, and so on. He had just married and went on a honeymoon trip to pass away exactly two weeks after freezing the accounts.
As the inconsolable widow stated in her testimony:
"To the best of my knowledge, most of the businesses of these companies was being conducted by Gerry whenever and wherever he and his computer were located".
In February 2019, the head of Coinbase — Brian Armstrong unveiled the results of an independent investigation into the QuadrigaCX. He reported on his Twitter account the following:
"Sequence of events suggests this was a mismanagement with later attempt to cover for it." "This implies that at least few people inside Qadriga knew that they were running fractional. If so, then it's possible that untimely death of their CEO was used as an outlet to let the company sink".
Brian Armstrong stressed that QuadrigaCX users started complaining about problems with withdrawing money long before Gerald Cotten's death. Thus, the company management decided to invent a story about private keys on the laptop of the CEO to hide the financial insolvency, one of the reasons for which could be inefficient management.
Nowadays, the Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX is officially bankrupt. Users of the closed Quadriga are now leading legal battles in order to recover their funds. The total amount of which is about $190 million in crypto. The exact circumstances of the disappearance of user deposits remain uncertain.
Do you think the story with QuadrigaCX was Exit Scam or Mismanagement?
One of the largest crypto scandals of the year broke out on April 30, 2019. The New York State Attorney General's Office has filed serious accusations against the biggest exchange platform — Bitfinex. According to Leticia James, the exchange platform used the reserves of Tether, an affiliated company to cover up a loss of $850 million.
Questions to Tether have been in the air for a long time. In January 2018, the critics of the main stablecoin assumed that the company, in fact, produced more coins than it actually could sustain. Some critics accused the Bitfinex in fraud and manipulation of Tether's rate and influenced through it on the price of Bitcoin.
So what's up with the Bitfinex? Investigators of the prosecutor's office claim that the lost money belonged to the clients and iFinex corporation. That is why, back in October 2018, Bitfinex started having problems with the withdrawal of the funds: the clients complained about long response time and a delay in receiving currency. According to the authorities, Bitfinex transferred $850 million to Crypto Capital Corp., the payment company. The Tether reserves were used to fill the gap, but this information was not disclosed to the public. According to the first data, Tether provided funding in the amount of at least $700 million for this purposes. Withdrawing this amount of currency severely shook faith in the idea that Tether tokens are indeed fully backed by dollars.
And then Bitfinex had extraordinary difficulties in satisfying the withdrawal demands from the platform since Crypto Capital refused to process withdrawals or simply could not return any funds. One of the senior Bitfinex executives opened a can of worms by writing the following:
"Please understand all this could be extremely dangerous for everybody, the entire crypto community. BTC could tank to below 1k if we don't act quickly."
Soon after it was known about the serious accusations against companies, Bitfinex's users began to panic. They started buying Bitcoin and trying to get rid of their assets in USDT. As a result, BTC was trading $350+ (6.75%) more expensive than the crypto market average.
Tether and Bitfinex published a joint statement on their official blogs in response to the allegations of missing funds. The posts allege that the companies did not receive any preliminary warnings, as well as that lawsuits from the New York Prosecutor General's Office were "riddled with false assertions".
According to the latest information, Bitfinex is supposed to release its own token and attract $1 billion in Tether through IEO.

The journalist of BBC has lost £25,000 in Ethereum because of technical illiteracy
Business reporter of British media company \"BBC\" has told how he lost cryptocurrency savings because of the typical rookie mistake.
The editorial staff of "BBC" Monty Manford published a report about how he lost 25,000 pounds ($30,000) in Ethereum due to lack of technical literacy. Manford first acquired the cryptocurrency at the end of 2017 at the peak of the bitcoin price.
"I heard about bitcoin, but it was one of those technologies where I nodded my head wisely when I was in the same room with those who talked about it... But when the price of bitcoins reached its peak — about $ 20,000 (16,500 pounds) at the end of 2017 — an increase of more than 100,000% in seven years — my curiosity overcame me."
His choice fells on Ethereum. According to the journalist, he was making long-term investments that he thought could help him when he retired. Manford hoped that Ethereum would follow the growing bitcoin and also demonstrate a sharp rise.
Manford described his experience with cryptocurrencies as "absolutely terrifying." Storage he chose the wallet MyEtherWallet, not a crypto currency exchange for fear of break-ins and security breaches. Manford had both a public and a private key, and he knew that the private key had to be kept securely, otherwise he would risk losing access to his wallet. But then Manford came up with a less "brilliant" idea: "I was printed it out, but also made the fateful decision to keep it in Gmail drafts so I could copy and paste it when I needed to make a transaction, and not print it every time."
Saving a private cryptographic key on Google mail servers or in any third-party free mail services is similar to the situation when you leave the key in the car with the engine turned on and think that no one will steal the car, writes the Bitcoinist edition.
Manford realized that he had made a mistake only when he saw that his wallet was empty. He traced the path of the stolen tokens to the wallets belonging to the Binance crypto-exchange. But exchange did not respond quickly to the letters of Manford with the requirement to freeze the accounts of the alleged criminals. Binance requested official confirmation of the crime. Then the journalist turned to the American company CipherBlade, which cooperates with the FBI to track down the scammers. Cybersecurity experts have found that social engineering or phishing techniques were most likely used to access a journalist's Gmail account, as well as predatory programs that intercepted information when pressing copy/paste. Manfred also filed a statement with the cybercrime Department of the Sussex police, which contacted Binance and was able to obtain information from the crypto-exchange about the IP addresses from which deposits with the stolen cryptocurrency were made. They are in the Netherlands, but it has not been possible to identify the criminals.
Manford highlights the main problems associated with investing in cryptocurrencies:
● Consumer protection does not apply to Bitcoin or Ethereum investors.
● Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies can be stolen in seconds.
● The problem with passwords — or private keys —they can be stolen.
According to Manfred, consumers are not protected when it comes to keeping a secret key. "Writing down a secret key on paper can also be dangerous. A fire in the house, a flood, a hungry pet — just a bad memory — could mean that a huge amount of cryptocurrency is lost forever."
The journalist concludes his story with the words that he feels as if he was "in a wild Bazaar, where criminals can easily clean his pockets and they will do nothing for it."

A Spy in the House of Byrne—The Ledger
_(This week's Ledger newsletter is by David Z. Morris)_The crypto industry can be roughly divided into two groups. On the one hand, there are "crypto native" companies creating new things from scratch (think Binance or Brave). On the other hand are existing operations trying to use blockchain tech to get a further edge (think ICE's Bakkt or Facebook's Libra).
And then there was Patrick Byrne, who had a foot in both worlds—sometimes uncomfortably.
The CEO for two decades of e-commerce pioneer Overstock.com, Byrne became a vocal crypto proponent around five years ago, and has worked since then to position the company as a blockchain leader. Overstock was the first major online retailer to take payments in Bitcoin, starting in early 2014. The same year, Byrne began work on "tzero," a blockchain-based alternative to traditional securities exchanges. Then he founded Medici Ventures, a venture fund and incubator that houses 18 blockchain startups within Overstock.
And now, it appears, he's gone. Byrne resigned suddenly as CEO of Overstock last Thursday, after mounting controversy surrounding his past romantic relationship with alleged Russian agent Maria Butina. Butina is now serving an 18 month prison sentence for conspiring to promote Russian interests through conservative U.S. political groups.
Byrne's statements on the matter have been vague and conspiratorial, including references to the "Deep State" and "Men in Black" who Byrne says drew him into "certain government matters." He subsequently made detailed claims that the FBI directly encouraged his relationship with Butina circa 2016 as part of an investigation into Russian activities (claims dismissed by then-FBI director James Comey). Byrne says he's resigning because these entanglements "may affect and complicate all manner of business relationships," and that he'll be "disappearing for some time."
This is the sort of weirdness you'd expect from the wild-west world of crypto-natives, not a public company valued at more than $1 billion as recently as a year ago. But Byrne was known as a bit of a loose cannon well before Bitcoin was invented, most notably for his aggressive (and also frequently conspiratorial) campaign against naked short sellers. (You can read _Fortune's_coverage of those battles here.)
This very enjoyable profile from Forbes dives into Byrne's privileged and unconventional background—he has a PhD in philosophy from Stanford, and is apparently close friends with Warren Buffet through Byrne's father. It also paints Byrne as easily distractable, and Overstock's blockchain ventures as a boondoggle that's destroying a once-profitable company.
The boondoggle part might wind up coming true, but if Overstock's blockchain efforts are a risky bet, they're anything but a lark. I spent some time at the company's headquarters in Salt Lake City this past spring, and with Medici, Byrne has built a team that's both technically savvy and fairly unified in its deeply-held crypto-native worldview. Most notably, Medici is a hotbed of thoughtful skepticism towards government, with managers and coders ranging from left-wing anarchists to free-market libertarians. There are even signs that Overstock's presence is helping turn Salt Lake City into a blockchain hub with its own unique feel—for instance, the Off Chain conference there caters to the overlap between crypto, firearms, and "prepping."
Byrne himself often described his worldview in libertarian terms, and he'll be succeeded by Jonathan Johnson, who shares much of Byrne's outlook on both politics and blockchain. Johnson is currently head of the Medici unit, and he'll shoulder Byrne's CEO duties on an interim basis. He's a steady, composed counterpoint to Byrne's swashbuckling verve, as well as a thoughtful strategist. Most significantly, his rise to the head job, even if temporary, signals that Overstock intends to stick with its blockchain bets.
The question now is whether some of those bets hit before Overstock's retail revenues fade.
One final note: We're running lean here at The Ledger this month, in part because Jeff Roberts is on book leave (look for his cryptocurrency magnum opus from Audible soon). That's why they handed the reins over to me, the new guy. I recently joined the Fortune team from BreakerMag, a now defunct but much-loved blockchain-focused publication. In addition to reporting on the world of digital assets and decentralized technologies, I'll be writing about A.I., Tesla, and other techie matters. I'll also be authoring this newsletter every once in a while—hopefully, from here on out, with a header that actually has my name on it. Glad to know you.

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature's most awe inspiring sights – a total solar eclipse. This visible path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere will stretch from Salem, OR to Charleston, SC. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. There are around 12 million people on the totality path and about 127 million people who are in 300 miles from totality path who can easily watch this eclipse with 2 or 3 hour drive. This eclipse will become the most viewed eclipse ever in history.
Bharath Muthyala received his masters degree in astronomy and astrophysics from Osmania University. During his college days, he worked at the observatory affiliated to the Osmania University in India. For 14 years, he worked in various capacities including program manager, assistant director and director of a planetarium in India.

Black American Muslims Go As Far Back As America Itself
Habeeba Husain
Contrary to popular belief, Muslims have been in America from its very beginning. Founding father Thomas Jefferson even had his own copy of the Quran! Many of the Africans forcibly brought to the United States through the Atlantic slave trade came from Muslim backgrounds. From the get-go, black Muslims have had a significant impact on not only the American Muslim community, but on the country of the United States as a whole. They helped to build this nation but unfortunately, their contributions are often overlooked.
People like Ayuba Suleiman Diallo and Bilali Mohammad kept record of their experiences as slaves in America. Theirs and others' writings helped to document Islam's presence in the New World. The number of Muslim slaves not agreed upon, but researchers estimate from 40,000 in the U.S. all the way up to 3 million across North America, South America and the Caribbean. These Muslims even fought for America against the British in the Revolutionary War, as evidenced by the Islamic names documented on military muster rolls.
Over time, we have seen black Muslims at the forefront in the fight for civil rights, and also in popular culture whether that be in the sports, entertainment, or political fields. Names like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar all come to mind when thinking of notable black American Muslims. They represented equality, greatness, grace, skill, and eloquence in each of their fields so much so, that they have now become household names and role models for people of all faiths and colors.
Today, African Americans constitute about one fifth of the United States' Muslim population, according to an article published by the Pew Research Center in January 2019. While about half of black Muslims converted to Islam, the other half were born into the religion. Islam was popular in many urban communities as early as the twentieth century, a time during which many African Americans reconnected with their Muslim roots. Fifty-one percent of Muslims whose families have been in the U.S. for at least three generations are black, as highlighted by the same Pew Research study.
Despite this strong historical and current presence of black Muslim Americans, the minority community still faces many obstacles when it comes to racism in the United States. About 92 percent of black Muslims say there is still a lot of discrimination against black people today according to the Pew Research survey. We have seen the same legendary names mentioned above face a targeted scrutiny and bias that simply does not exist when it comes to their colleagues. Organizations like Muslim ARC and others are working to rectify racist behavior against black Muslims to try to instill what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us so many years ago:
"An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white – except by piety and good action."
May we always honor those people who came before us, the struggles they faced in order to make our lives today easier, and never tire of continuing their work to make the future a better place.

HANUKKAH 2009 - Memorable Gifts for the Festival of Lights for Every Family Member & Friend
by Janis Brett Elspas
MommyBlogExpert
MommyBlogExpert's Hanukkah
December 11 - 19, 2009 - Memorable Gifts for the Festival of Lights features the most brilliant ideas imaginable for kids, families, parents, relatives, and friends. From a custom-made look alike doll that bears uncanny resemblance to a child's parent, to a clever Yiddish baby book, to a Hanukkah dog sweater, to a kosher Festival of Lights Cheesecake that can be air shipped to you, to even "giving" a goat or donkey as a gift, chances are you'll find some ideal gifts here to enhance the holiday for everyone on your Hanukkah gift list. Pictured is a favorite family piece, a 14" handmade dimensional ceramic menorah, limited edition, by artist Branah Layah, private collection.
Hanukkah, which starts at sundown on Friday, December 11th this year and runs through Saturday, December 19th, is also known as the Festival of Lights. This Jewish holiday lasting eight days that usually falls in December (though not always) has historically been thought to be the people of Israel's equivalent to Christmas -- both among non-Jews and even some Jews themselves. This is particularly noticeable in the U.S. where cultures and religions have blended and the holidays have become much more commercialized than in other parts of the world.
But, the most observed holiday in Judaism, really has nothing to do with Christmas. Hanukkah can be best understood and more fully appreciated by reflecting upon its roots. Original homemade Hanukkah Gingerbread House made by the author of this blog is pictured at right.
In modern times, Jews continue celebrating the multi-day holiday every year with generations of families coming together to light the menorah for eight nights. It is traditional to eat potato latke pancakes and jelly donuts (Sufganiot, in Hebrew), pass out chocolate gold coins known as Hanukkah gelt to children, and to play a special game with a top called a dreidel.
You might ask, "How did this festive holiday originate and what do latkes have to do with a candelabra, chocolate coins, and dreidel, anyway?" American Girl's Miniature Menorah and Gold Coins, private collection, pictured above.
The historic event upon which Hanukkah is based occurred more than two thousand years ago, when a last bottle of sanctified oil that the Jews found was miraculously enough to burn not one day, but eight days in the menorah after the Jews returned to reclaim the temple that had been captured and destroyed by the Greeks.
Today, Jews remember that famous oil around the world in several ways: by lighting a menorah each of the eight nights and by eating fried foods like crunchy potato pancakes and delectable jelly donuts. Holiday celebrants also play a game using pennies (or gold chocolate coins) and a 4-sided dreidel that is spun around with different Hebrew letters on each of its sides: Nes, Gadol, Hyah, Sham, which roughly translates as, "A great miracle happened there."
In modern times the colors most associated with Hanukkah are blue and white, reflecting the color scheme of the official flag of Israel since 1948 when the country declared statehood. Gold and silver are often incorporated into the holiday to add to the festivity. The handpainted wood dreidel &amp and Stand above shows Noah's Ark (a dreidel depicting a well known Chagall wedding scene is also available). Both made in Israel, $26. Noah's Ark dreidel pictured is from Taigan.com
Like many of you I really enjoy receive and sending greeting cards at this time of year. Admittedly, I'm partial to dogs, but this animated Hanukkah Ojolie musical ecard just stole my heart. Set to a beautiful violin serenade, this electronic greeting depicts a cat spinning a dreidel while the lights of the menorah burn brightly in the background. Send this card to loved ones this holiday, and you are bound make a memory that will last a long time, if not a lifetime. You've got to see this to believe it, so here's a free preview of this card from Ojolie.com
For certain, this holiday is not just kid stuff -- it's for every Jewish man, woman, child, young and old, and the family pet to enjoy. This showcase is filled with some of the most extraordinary and meaningful gift ideas around for just about every human and animal on your list. Hanukkah Pup Dog Sweater, $26.95, is a beautifully blue knit canine sweater with silver metallic embroidered star, and fluffy white trim at the neck and bottom.

The coolest graphic I've ever seen celebrating that scrumptious fried potato treat we all look forward to.

Hanukkah Cheesecake, $40, is kosher and baked fresh by Eli's Cheesecake, famous for their awesome dessert specialties in more flavors than you can probably imagine.

My kids and I visited Eli's factory outside of Chicago several years ago and we were lucky enough not only to see how the best cheesecakes in the world are made, but we got to sample some because a slice of cake was included in the admission price for their fun, old-fashioned tour. Take my word for it, these cheesecakes are better than any you've tasted before. Watch for MommyBlogExpert's report from the Eli's Cheesecake Factory Tour soon. From Eli's Cheesecake
President Brie Cheese Log, $6.99, is a creamy and rich-tasting cheese by the makers of Rondele. Now available in an 8 inch cylinder shape weighing 6 ounces, this has thin edible rind, making it easy to slice into rounds for crackers. Both adults and kids that I have served this to love it, so I consider this an equally perfect idea for elegant entertaining and to pop in children's lunch boxes. I can't wait to try this sliced on top of our potato latkes during Hanukkah. Watch for MommyBlogExpert's indepth product review on the President Brie Log Kit we recently received from this tasty cheesemaker soon.
Gourmet Hanukkah Candy Apples by Mrs. Prindables, $26.95, clearly are not just for Halloween. Why not give these a try to make a memorable conclusion to your holiday celebration? This giant elegant caramel apple, weighing up to 1.5 pounds, is festively presented with a porcelain dreidel attached to a big blue bow and is available in all 8 signature apple flavors. Shown in Triple Chocolate here. Just think of the oohs and aahs you'll be hearing when you bring out a tray with some of these works of art for dessert. Serves 8-10. From Mrs. Prindables
Milk Chocolate Coins and Dark Chocolate Bars from Divine, prices vary, are at Whole Foods and also available at select stores in the U.S. and online Kosher certified by Triangle-K, this gourmet chocolate is made with the finest Fair Trade cocoa beans from Kuapa Kokoo, a co-op of smallholder farmers in Ghana.
When I opened the beautifully packed box they sent, loaded with two generous bags of gold milk chocolate "gelt" for Hanukkah and two of their large Divine 70% Dark Chocolate 3.5 ounce bars, the smell and taste of both chocolate types from their extensive line was heavenly. As I read the brochure included in the package, I was even happier to find out that this is a chocolate company with a very big heart -- because the local cocoa farmers not only get a fair deal for their cocoa, but also premiums to invest in their communities, and a share of Divine ChocolateUSA profits.
Now, that you've got some unforgettable ideas, hurry up already...you've got eights days of memorable gifts to shop for. A gentle reminder: don't forget to buy Hanukkah candles like I did last year, when you are picking up gifts for everyone.

Wishing You and Yours

Since the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act in 2009, the Federal Government has offered financial incentives for health care providers to increase use of federally certified electronic health records (EHRs). The related goal for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program was to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care provided to Medicaid-covered beneficiaries.
The purpose of this project was to examine the influence of Medicaid provider EHR adoption on completion of six guidelines for prevention and screening services for: (1) cervical cancer screening, (2) colorectal cancer screening, (3) diabetes screening, (4) hyperlipidemia screening, (5) influenza vaccination, and (6) pneumococcal vaccination. All approved Medicaid claims from 2009 to 2012 were extracted from the Michigan Medicaid Data Warehouse for these analyses.
The specific aims of this project are as follows:
Compare covariate-adjusted completion rates of six key preventive and screening services among comorbid Medicaid beneficiary-primary care provider (PCP) dyads 12 months before and 12 months after their PCP's full Stage 1 Medicaid Meaningful Use (MU) adoption of an EHR.
Compare adjusted completion rates of six preventive and screening services from a group of comorbid adult Medicaid beneficiaries receiving consistent primary care from Stage 1 Medicaid MU PCPs with an equivalent group of adults receiving care from PCPs who have never applied for Medicaid MU EHR incentives.
The study sample included 10,149 continuously covered Michigan Medicaid adult beneficiaries. A pre-post study design found statistically significant improvement in the completion rates of colorectal cancer screening, hyperlipidemia screening, diabetes screening, and influenza vaccination. However, rates were lower for cervical cancer and pneumococcal vaccination. The results indicate that adoption of a federally certified EHR is associated with mixed-rate changes for a set of major preventive and screening services.
