Two hours ago, Freeway halted all platform withdrawals. They also wiped the names of all team members from their website. It looks like it's over. Another $100m+ rug.

If anyone has funds in crypto yield platform Freeway, I would suggest withdrawing right away. I believe they are operating a Ponzi scheme. In my opinion, it's likely that Freeway will collapse within the next few months and that all depositors will lose everything.6:16 PM ∙ Oct 23, 2022

New: US unseals charges against two Chinese intelligence officers for allegedly  obstructing an investigation into "a global telecommunications company." 

Firm is unnamed in the indictment, but is consistent with Huawei, per @business reporting.

Here's an OCR'd version of the unsealed charges that allege two Chinese intelligence officers tried to bribe a US official into impeding the investigation into a company that sounds an awful lot like Huawei.
