Crypto Rogue’s $1M Waltz: A Tale of Digital Derring-Do 🎩💰
In the shadowy realm of blockchain, a miscreant known only by the moniker “0x7E1” has reportedly amassed $1.06 million through the artful manipulation of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). This digital Rasputin, with a flick of their cryptographic wand, sold 248 WBTC-a treasure valued at $23.08 million-a mere two hours past. A month prior, this same wallet, with the voracity of a literary critic devouring a mediocre novel, devoured 375 WBTC for $33.83 million, each coin acquired at the modest price of $90,203. The sale, at $93,023 per coin, yielded a profit as neat as a Nabokovian sentence, $1.06 million. Ah, the markets-even in their illicit corners-obey the timeless dictum: buy low, sell high. 📈🤹♂️
