This has to be blatant bribery right. Otherwise someone/s got screwed when they bought the short. And if they don’t complain/sue, then it was on purpose.
The source can't know. Opening an account, going through manual KYC process, wiring tens of million can't be in same day. An institutional investor would likely go through different process, but i doubt they can have everything setup after 1 phone call.
Of course we don’t know who Satoshi is, but he’d (assuming he’s alive) likely have to off-ramp through some KYC platform, and then we’d know who he is.
Who remembers when Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading? She dodged like 50k in losses and got 5 months. By my calculation this person should get a 733k year sentence.
China has been working on hacking crypto. Since the block chain is obviously the most secure part, they've been working on decoding the public key to extrapolate the private key for each transaction. At this time, a crypto transaction takes between 8 and 15 minutes. Using their quantum computer systems, the Chinese government has been able to decrypt the private key in just under 8hrs. That seems like a ways off. However, just 3 months ago, that same computation was taking 36 hours or more. This being said, those working on the project expect to drop the decryption time to 5 minutes by the end of 2025. If, and when, this occurs, all crypto will be basically worthless. No transaction of any significant value will be able to be done without it possibly being intercepted by the Chinese government controlled data centers. Large holders of crypto are well aware of this eventual devaluation and are slowly dumping their holdings. They can't do it quickly without dropping the price. So they're doing multiple transactions through multiple wallets to slowly cash out.
Dunno who told you this but it's a completely load of bull crap and FUD.
No one has a working quantum processor, and if you did you'd take Satoshi's coins, not try to fight spends, and it would still take weeks per address to crack.
Technically, any coins in a p2pk address would be vulnerable to this type of attack. But without a transaction being started, the owner and eventually the public, would be quickly alerted. But how many people doing black market transactions would run to the police when their coins disappear while trying to buy coke? That's right, zero. That's the logic behind the tactics they're instituting. To slowly drain the market without causing a major upheaval. Doing anything with a high probability of public notice would make the coins worthless.
The claim that someone has a working millions of qubits quantum computer and is trying to take someone's 'coke money', which is impossible to ascertain which transactions are legit or black market anyway.
You then assume they won't complain because it was 'coke money'.
Meanwhile you ignore that such a computer would cost probably trillions of dollars to create at this point in time, and therefore it's necessarily a government project, and that the value of keeping it secret vastly exceeds the 'coke money' you say they're currently stealing.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
The world's leading QC's are nowhere near achieving breaking private keys in minutes. Maybe 30-50 years away, barring some QC breakthrough which may or may not happen soon.
You then rely on RBF, which if someone was stealing money by RBF and QC, they wouldn't go after small 'coke money' transactions, they'd go after massive ones.
Believe what you want. You'll see crypto sales increase, precious metals go up, and consumer confidence in digital currency down. Within 6 months, there will be some significant shifts in the way China approaches global markets. They'll push for secured currencies to be the world standard. Then they'll start selling their multinational holdings at the top of the market. Things like homes, multi family dwellings and commercial property will be be sold of and cause major price drops. China is already a major player in the technology everyone uses. Their tech is advanced as anyone's, and more advanced than is publicly known.
I know what a short is, mate. You can’t make a ton of cash on microscopic nudges to the market —this person would have needed to input billions to make this kind of profit on microfluctuations like have been going on with bitcoin over the past month.

Yes. Once they off-ramp the crypto they’ll be exposed.
They may be able to atomic swap to a privacy coin, but in all likelihood they can be found

Your entire argument hinges on two things:
The claim that someone has a working millions of qubits quantum computer and is trying to take someone's 'coke money', which is impossible to ascertain which transactions are legit or black market anyway.
You then assume they won't complain because it was 'coke money'.
Meanwhile you ignore that such a computer would cost probably trillions of dollars to create at this point in time, and therefore it's necessarily a government project, and that the value of keeping it secret vastly exceeds the 'coke money' you say they're currently stealing.
