This Week on Crypto Twitter: Did SBF Move Money? Man Utd NFTs Under Fire. Eisenberg Arrested!

The market is the same as usual frozen this weekwith most of the leading cryptocurrencies seeing very little price movement to end the year, except for some unfortunates-especially Solana and Dogecoin, which suffered double-digit percentage drops.

It’s another week of some crypto adoption moves or shipments from Washington. The industry has all eyes on it The courtroom saga of FTX is unraveling. But there is still enough news to make Crypto Twitter excited.

On Tuesday, news broke of the alleged arrest of Avraham Eisenberg, a New York resident milked million of crypto exploitation.

Eisenberg’s name came up again in October when he stole it over $100 million from the crypto trading platform Mango Markets, returned $ 67 million from it, and (at the time) got away with it, claiming that it was in the interest of depositors, legally, and made by a larger organization behind them.

Meanwhile, the widow of Hal Finney, an early Bitcoin contributor and recipient of the network’s first transaction, announced a Bitcoin-themed fundraising marathon to raise money for research into ALS, the neurodegenerative disease that killed Finney in 2014.

One of the disgruntled investors in the crypto investment company Multicoin Capital shared a message he received that should have been sent back in November, when the FTX crisis started. Multicoin seems to be heavily affected by direct and indirect exposure to FTX, especially the whale-sized Solana (SOL) hoard.

Due to Solana’s strong ties to FTX, SOL has been in freefall for the last two months; it just hit a two years less while struggling to stay above the $10 support level.

Vitalik Buterin on Thursday tweeted his support for the developer community and the deeply disappointed Solana fans.

On Tuesday, NFT enthusiasts were eagle-eyed @ClownVamp looks like outright plagiarism on Manchester United’s new Tezos-based NFT collection. ClownVamp tweeted solid evidence in the thread.

The next day, a South Park fan spoof of FTX and its disgraced former CEO made the rounds in CT.

Finally, there are, on-chain sleuths like @ZachXBT noticed that seven digits of funds from the wallet are linked to Alameda Research they were moved through transaction policy mixers.

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was quick to deny any involvement, but Twitter was quick to roast him.

Ayou, all…

Sam came back online an hour later to post a follow-up offering to advise the regulator. That seems unlikely when he faces eight counts of criminal fraud, but anything is possible in crypto.
