🔍 Fake buyer flipped the Chinese laundering crew — now they're tracing millions from the Bybit haul North Korean hackers lifted roughly $1. They figured cashing out was easy money. Then a blockchain sleuth walked straight into their Chinese laundering operation pretending to be a paying customer, burning real cash just to buy access info — and that one move helped recover a chunk of the stolen fortune. Sit with that…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 10 October 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

🐋 Right on cue: a whale drops a fresh bitcoin short on Hyperliquid One Hyperliquid account surfaced today holding exactly one position — a bitcoin perp short worth about $32.36 million. ▪️ 391.48 BTC entered around $82,863 on 13x cross leverage, which means the entire account lives or dies on this single trade. No hedge, no plan B, just conviction and a liquidation price. ▪️ Liquidation sits at $99,801 — roughly 20…
🧨 Big two snoring while small caps rip and seized coins start walking Bitcoin and Ethereum are flatlining into the morning while action hides down-cap — gainers running hard on real volume, losers bleeding quietly into nothingburger territory nobody gives a shit about. Meanwhile our newsroom feed reads less like markets and more like a crime blotter settling old scores overnight. Morning mood is greedy again after y…
💰 Treasury's about to snatch $1B in Iranian crypto this week — and won't say where it sits Scott Bessent hopped on Newsmax Thursday and said the quiet part loud: the US is “probably gonna seize a billion dollars of crypto this week,” all tied to Iran sanctions enforcement amid its latest military conflict that kicked off back in February. That’s roughly double what he bragged about clawing back from Tehran back in s…
💥 Whale eats a forced sale on Hyperliquid and instantly longs again A Hyperliquid whale got its ether bag force-closed overnight as ethereum knifed down toward its liquidation line — then wired in fresh margin half an hour later and bought straight back into the same trade. ▪️ Trackers picked up the book around early October after margin deposits landed in three linked Hyperliquid addresses holding hundreds of mill…
⛓️ Empire Market's boss got 40 years and gave back $101M in bitcoin Raheim Hamilton built Empire Market — a dark web bazaar that pushed over $430 million through drugs alone-ish volumes. The tab came due: 40 years behind the door, and $101M in bitcoin handed back. You get stopped out on a wick and call it bad luck; this guy got a whole federal accounting department on his ass. ▪️ Empire Market: dark web bazaar, ove…
🩸 Longs ate a billion-dollar flush — and OGN still ran +97% BTC is parked at $82,532 after a wick-flush toward $80K overnight. That dip alone cost crypto longs about a billion dollars on the long side, across derivatives desks worldwide. Total liquidations over the 24 hours: roughly $1.16 billion, both sides counted separately. Shorts? A minor fraction. The rest is rounding error. The downside pain was concentrated …
💀 Bitcoin knifes straight through its fat 81K bid wall, billions nuked So much for that fat bid sitting under 81K holding everything up nicely forever. Apparently not. Bitcoin knifed straight through it down to an intraday low near 80K after yet another failed push back toward 87K that nobody trusts anymore. ▪️ Longs ate basically everything that got dumped on them during this 24-hour bloodletting, while shorts bar…
🚨 Uncle Sam just marched $770M of seized Bitcoin into Coinbase Prime — and half of it is vintage Bitfinex hacker loot The US government moved 9,261 Bitcoin — roughly $770 million — into its seizure address at Coinbase Prime over two days. Half that pile is old Bitfinex hacker loot, part of it came out of Binance seizures, and another 2,456 coins landed from wallets nobody had ever publicly tied to federal law enforc…
NEAR rips +138% into crypto's top 20 — and its own rails got drained while you were watching BTC NEAR shoved its way into the top 20 coins Thursday after a month-long run that took it from mid-cap obscurity to roughly $5.51 a token. That's about a $7.2 billion market cap and some $1.2 billion traded in a single day. Not bad for a coin most of you ignored until the green candles started screaming. ▪️ NEAR now sits a…
⚠️ $1.35B of ETH longs is 3.6% from getting cooked BTC $82,946.79, -1.51%, ETH $2,573.63, -1.60% — looks like a sleepy drift down, except it isn't: $1.35B of leveraged ETH longs are already sweating liquidation, and the shorts only get paid if we bounce. Fear & Greed slid to 64 from 71 — still greedy, just with the handbrake on. ▪️ Hyperliquid alone has $112.83M of ETH longs set to liquidate near $2,511 — roughly 3…
🔥 Ethereum just cracked its floor — $1.135B of longs queued up for slaughter ETH got smoked 15.19% in a day down to $12570 and finally ripped through the $12700 shelf that had been holding despite days of institutional selling. Now roughly $11.135 billion worth of leveraged long positions sit below price waiting to get liquidated, against just $1999.178 million's worth of shorts hanging above. That's the setup, and …
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @lfgrichie. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
