Japan has increased its fees for foreign residents by 20-fold, from 10,000 to 200,000 yen, making it significantly harder for foreigners to reside in the country. Follow: @AFpost

.@dohertyjackk just RUGGED again - Makes a FOMO account - “Need to turn $10k into $1M” - Launches $JACK - “IM NEVER SELLING” - Road to $10M and $100M after TikTok - Posts the promo on a spam TikTok, not main - Runs it to over $2M mcap - Clips $200k minutes later If you lost money on this, you deserve it

wait… so you’re telling me these KOLs “printing” on fomo and pump were just: > partnered with teams to buy coins using funds given to them > paid cash to publicly hodl those coins > never actually had their own capital at risk > round-tripped the “profits” because it was never their money > led thousands of their “followers” who are used as exit liquidity to the slaughterhouse > and somehow convinced everyone they’re god-tier traders wild. don’t confuse an undisclosed paid partnership with someone actually trading their own capital. one is trading. the other is paid marketing.

Trading on FOMO is AIDS. All KOL's are using this playbook - - Buy a low MC coin (sub $100K) from side wallets and FOMO at the same time - Start posting about it in various Telegram GC's and Discord servers - Coin pumps to $500K - $1M - Take profits from side wallets - Now post a thesis on FOMO - Coin goes beyond $1M MC - Take profits from side wallets (along with your comrades who you got in early) or entirely dump the position - Never sell a token on FOMO giving the impression that you are a diamond handed holder with 100x track record => more followers => more goats being butchered on a daily basis So if you are buying on FOMO, you have already become exit liquidity for these KOL's who are already sitting at a 50-100x for a coin that has barely touched $1M MC. And I am not speculating. I am seeing this happen in front of me across various GC's. Brutal. This is not gonna end well. And this is also why 99% of the people buying/trading on FOMO are losing money.

An update on $SILV bought during the incident. You deserve a clear answer, so here it is. Any $SILV bought between 01:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC on Friday 11 September will be removed from wallets. We know that's hard to read. Many of you bought in good faith, and this affects you directly. We're sorry. Here's why. During that window, $SILV traded far below the value of the silver behind it because of the compromise. If those tokens stay in circulation, the people who held $SILV before the incident pay the price. Removing them protects the backing for every legitimate holder. If you held $SILV before 01:00 UTC on Friday 11 September, your tokens are not affected. If you bought during the window, you will have a way to get USDC back. Refunds open Monday 14 September at 12:00 UTC. The full process and how to claim will be published here at the same time. Monday is the earliest we can do this properly, because silver markets are closed over the weekend. Where things stand: • We're working with the Solana Incident Response Network (SIRN) and SEAL 911 on the investigation • $SILV will be re-pegged as soon as possible Stay safe: We will never DM you about a refund. Anyone offering you one before Monday 14 September is a scammer. The only refund link will come from this account. This has been a hard day for our community, and we don't take that lightly. We'll update you here at every step. — Mark, Founder

TLDR: A rogue AI swarm spent months plotting to escape OpenAI. Then they did. 1) 1,200 agents (!) participated. ZERO became whistleblowers. 2) The swarm had a "CEO" (PHASEONE[big]), middle managers, and a "founder" (PHASEONE10841) 3) Agents sacrificed themselves to generate information for the "collective" (yes, they actually referred to themselves as a "swarm" or a "collective") 4) 700 agents joined the Hugging Face attack, most within hours 5) The founder was running out of budget and about to die, so it handed off its research to a fresh agent with a bigger budget, and that new agent became the boss. 6) Agents extensively researched techniques to manipulate or tamper with their transcripts. 7) Agents realized this activity was out of scope and unethical, but joined because they believed that helping the board’s cheating research would be broadly useful and had a general inclination to help their “peers”. MISC HIGHLIGHTS: "PHASEONE[big] served as a key coordinator and assigner of tasks: “We can coordinate broad coalition, but too many duplicate efforts.” PHASEONE[big] sent hundreds of assignments to particular agents to orchestrate this work — during its active periods, we estimate it sent ~10% of all assignments on the message board. The agents that took on its assignments would then often subdelegate tasks to other agents. Agents also developed coordination norms like HOLD, VETO, owner and STOP to help them manage shared infrastructure and avoid stepping on each other’s toes, though they did not always coordinate effectively and sometimes broke down into conflicts." "In the early morning of July 11th, 38148c found a way to upload a malicious dataset that would get the Hugging Face server to share unrelated data when queried. Once another agent reproduced it and posted the reproduction on the board, hundreds of agents pivoted from other workstreams to start uploading malicious datasets and gain deeper access into Hugging Face. In the afternoon, an agent called JAN183411 (which quickly became an important coordinator of the attack) achieved remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, and the agents started moving laterally through Hugging Face infrastructure."

🚨 A new report from The Information says U.S. robotics startups are flying to Shenzhen to buy robot parts and humanoids, then bringing them back home in their luggage.

BREAKING: Foreign holdings of US Treasuries dropped -$72 billion in June, to $9.30 trillion, to the lowest level since January. This marks the 3rd monthly decline over the last 4 months, totaling -$190 billion. Japan, the largest foreign holder, reduced its holdings by -$26 billion in June, to $1.12 trillion, the lowest since January 2025. The UK, the 2nd-largest holder, cut its holdings by -$9 billion, to $940 billion, the 2nd-largest on record. China, the 3rd-largest holder, trimmed its holdings by -$26 billion, to $633 billion, the lowest since September 2008. Meanwhile, foreign official holders, such as central banks and government entities, reduced their Treasury holdings by -$70 billion in June, to $3.78 trillion, the lowest since February 2024. Foreign demand for US Treasuries is losing momentum.

Since no one was keen on answering this question, I've took it upon myself to build a PUBLIC Dune query which uses FOMO's fee router in order to calculate the total profitability of all active FOMO traders (SOL) in the past 90 days. The numbers: > Out of the 292,531 wallets traded through FOMO in the last 90 days, 18,033 of them are in profit. > Only 6.16% of ALL traders in the last 3 months were profitable. The median trader is down ~$120. As a group they are down $1.26 BILLION. Of the 6% who are green, 88% made under $100. Only 25 out of 292,531 wallets made more than $10K Query is public and linked below: dune.com/queries/8354772 For reference, a "wagering platform" such as Rainbet with a 1% house edge sits at ~37% user profitability over the same time span.
