New: an incredible court record pulls back the curtain on a $30 million dollar underground Bitcoin exchange running for years in the heart of New York. Massive bags of cash, drive-by pickups.

The funniest thing about the fascist pro-Putin grifters on Twitter is that they are so obviously corrupt and are siphoning off donations that would otherwise bolster the Russian war effort. They are actively undermining their own cause through greed. https://t.co/zIgOflzEpF
