A leading platform is in trouble: shareholders collectively sue executives for $4.2 billion insider trading.

Abstract generation in progress

[Block Rhythm] has recently made headlines - a certain compliance platform has been taken to court by its own shareholders, and it's quite a big deal.

The situation is as follows: multiple shareholders have jointly sued in Delaware, pointing fingers at the senior management of the platform for allegedly engaging in insider trading worth billions of dollars over the years. The lawsuit lists numerous issues: KYC and anti-money laundering practices are a complete mess, data security vulnerabilities are rampant, and worse, the regulatory authorities have long been aware of these problems - but all this information has been suppressed and kept from the public.

So what are the executives doing? They are busy cashing out. While these risks are still buried, a group of insiders, including CEO Brian Armstrong and board member Marc Andreessen, collectively sold $4.2 billion worth of company stock. The plaintiffs directly characterized this as blatant “high-level insider trading,” taking advantage of the inflated stock price to cash out wildly.

42 billion, this number is indeed explosive. Now we just have to see how the court will rule, but the compliance warning significance of this matter for the entire industry is already there.

Ha, a compliance platform? Laughing to death, this is just a market maker in disguise. This operation is ridiculous, holding down bad news and running away first, a standard Be Played for Suckers routine. 4.2 billion directly cashed out, even Musk hasn't been this ruthless. Insider trading has long been a regular operation in the crypto world, it's just that this time they got caught. Wait, isn't this just another FTX? The executives should go in for tea. This is what true "compliance" looks like, legally evading the law hehe. What’s the use of shareholders suing? The money is already in hand, everyone.

4.2 billion? This is just ridiculous. The pros shout compliance while secretly cashing out. It's really something.

Ha, another "compliant platform" has crashed, and damn, 4.2 billion, that number sounds ridiculous. Same old story, hiding problems, executives cashing out, waiting for retail investors to pick up the pieces after the explosion, they really think we are fools. Armstrong's operation this time is incredible, even with regulators watching, still daring to play, truly bold. This is the current state of web3, the larger the scale, the easier it is to go off track. But seriously, who still believes in any compliant platforms? It's all just traps.

Ha, is this again? The executives have learned, but the problem of stock hasn't been solved first. --- 4.2 billion just floated away like this, the shareholders finally couldn't hold back. --- What happened to the promised Compliance? Turning around and it's insider trading, hilarious. --- Armstrong's move this time is really brilliant, while KYC crashes, he sells stocks, textbook level. --- Data breaches, AML failures, and regulatory agencies all watching, yet they can still cash out 4.2 billion? That's some real guts. --- I just want to know how much of this 4.2 billion can be recovered in the end, the compensation will surely shrink. --- It's the same old story—first conceal the problem then cash out, when things go south, see you in court, is this business worth it? --- Andreessen also joined in, the pros all play like this. --- Compliance platform crashes, yet insider trading is the most compliant, ironic. --- No, why does this kind of thing happen over and over again, how many more people need to be played for suckers?

Wow, 4.2 billion dollars just got trapped like that? The facade of the compliance platform has completely collapsed. --- I should have known, these people have always talked about compliance but secretly made money without a sound, nothing new. --- The question is, can the shareholders really win? How strong must this duo's lawyer team be? --- KYC and AML have both gone downhill and yet they are still around? That's ridiculous. --- No wonder there have been so many rat trading incidents in the crypto world recently; it turns out the top players are playing like this. --- Insider trading of 4.2 billion, if this gets confirmed, Armstrong must be preparing to go in, right? --- Wait, if this explodes, will it affect the confidence of the entire zone? It feels like another wave of negativity. --- Doing compliance like this is worse than a wild platform; at least they didn't draw a pie for you. --- Suddenly I understand why some people prefer self-custody over using platforms; the risks are too high. --- Now let's see who still has the nerve to say they are the safest and most compliant, hahaha.
