Just 24 hours after FTX's new CEO, John Ray, announced that the platform could be revived, fraudsters created a fake FTX 2.0 token.
The FTX2.0 scam token is being actively spread among the registered users' wallets, including Justin Sun, KuCoin, and Binance.
Security firm PeckShield reported that the smart contract of FTX 2.0 has a backdoor that allows hackers to steal funds from users' accounts. To participate in the "new airdrop" the users are encouraged to click on a phishing link.
But the worst part is that the token's code allows buying the coin, but prohibits it from being sold. That's why its price has quickly rocketed, causing a wave of FOMO among FTX customers. 
Chainalysis investigators claim that a few hours before the announcement of bankruptcy, funds totaling about $155 million were withdrawn from the Genesis exchange:
- 50,000 ETH to Coinbase
- 20,000 ETH to Bitstamp
- 5,000 ETH and 3.9 million USDT to Kraken
- 7.7M FTM to Binance
- 36 million USDT to an unknown wallet
Some analysts speculate that this could be a partial repayment of Genesis' debt to creditors.
Of course, it is the case! That's exactly what all bankrupts do before filing for bankruptcy. 
The russian Solaris platform was hacked by the Kraken trading platform, which also targets the russian-speaking audience. Kraken claims to have taken control of Solaris' infrastructure and Gitlab repository, as well as locking and emptying its crypto wallets.
Both platforms are linked to a Russian operator and both have about 25% market share of the total volume of drugs and weapons sold on the dark web.
It is known for certain that Solaris used the services of pro-Kremlin hackers Killnet, which launched DDoS attacks on Ukrainian and European government servers in 2022.
All Solaris clients are now automatically redirected to the Kraken website because the hackers not only took control of the code and wallets but also set up a redirect.
There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and Russians destroying each other.
It is still unknown what kind of Kraken it is. Maybe it's some of ours

Positive changes were influenced by two factors:
- inflation in the USA has reached maximum levels
- relations between USA and China began to improve
Gorman believes that China and the United States have finally agreed: instead of redistributing the world's prosperity among themselves, they have moved to the desire to increase it so that everyone gets more.
Gorman also suggested that the Fed will not raise rates above 25 basis points next month.
