The NFT road to CYPHERPUNK 2027
by professor rat 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Esteban Castaño, the founder and CEO of cryptocurrency analytics firm TRM Labs, told Forbes in February that concerns about money laundering in NFTs are legitimate. “We have already seen nation states move assets into NFTs and move them back out. So it's not a bogeyman–it's real. It's happening.” He says people who commit financial crimes like hacks, ransomware attacks and selling stolen credit cards can take the proceeds and move them into NFTs to hide or launder the funds. In February, Castaño said the risk of money laundering with NFTs was “small today, with a lot of potential to grow.” Chainalysis, a New York-based crypto analytics company, estimated that illicitly obtained funds–for example, money gotten through scams–that later moved into NFTs totaled $1.4 million in the last quarter of 2021. OpenSea, the dominant NFT marketplace that facilitates about $3 billion in monthly transactions, doesn’t currently verify customers’ identities through the “know your customer” (KYC) checks that are required in banking and other financial services. A spokesperson for OpenSea didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. . . ." FORBES article

" . . . a clearly established network of parties who send and receive “the same transaction or a group of transactions” to each other, according to the document. In other words, a tightly knit cluster of digital accounts transacting among themselves. Another “strong indicator” is “NFTs being sold for large sums and reacquired from the same party or a third party for smaller amounts,” the document says. Yet another signal is when overpriced or underpriced NFTs trade in frequent transactions. Low-value NFTs being bought and sold quickly could also be a symptom of illicit activity. The J5 document even calls out transactions of NBA Top Shot, the basketball video NFTs that gained popularity last year but have since lost most of their value. “On Top Shots with the NBA you see a lot of low value (i.e. sub 10K) NFTs being bought in the same day with owners only holding their position for minutes. This could be a way to wash funds.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffkauflin/2022/04/28/irs-and-foreign-tax-enf… REPOSTS as is - not Endorsements

Domain Names Fueling the Latest NFT Craze
by professor rat 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Ethereum users have taken to speculating on the future value of three and four-digit ENS domain names. ENS names are domains that end in “.eth.” Each one is an NFT that is minted and sold just like your average NFT, which is a unique blockchain-based token that signifies ownership. ENS names are touted by their proponents as the future for decentralized, uncensorable websites and a potential universal login for all things Web3. . . .

NFT's not blowing your skirt up?

Hang on - help might be on the way - according to Flat-Earth-Forbes there's a growing interest in them to launder money. IF the IRS and foreign LEO's do have a genuine fear about this then its worthy of any genuine anarchists attention. BTW - sooner or later the " Third-Worldist " Left will cotton on that small countries from the global South are adopting crypto-anarchist tech. This could lead to increased 'noise ' levels that might even drown out Gramps / Semich/ Nazi-punk. I tremble for my anarchy.
