Claims that crypto scammer Malone Lam, charged with stealing $230M in Bitcoin, will avoid prison and work for MicroStrategy are false. He faces up to 20 years per charge if convicted. No credible evidence supports the alleged deal. Sentencing is set for May 13. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/indictment-charges-two-230-million-cryptocurrency-scam https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1836752923830702392?s=46&t=TExJYUgvg7VjMDQ_fFHoTQ&mx=2 https://wtop.com/national/2025/01/man-pleads-guilty-in-failed-ransom-plot-that-may-have-been-linked-to-240m-crypto-heist/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1885729177678086576
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
