In a rather dramatic turn typical of a melancholic novel, the crypto trader famed for his daring high-leverage wagers, Mr. James Wynn, has seemingly vanished from the social media scene, following dizzying losses in the nine digits.

XRP has been on a tear lately, with a rally that would make even the most seasoned investor blush. However, as our favorite coin climbs higher, the potential for profit-taking increases, as we’ve seen in the last 24 hours.
And get this, the bad guys used USDT to launder the loot, transferring it to offshore wallets faster than you can say “digital wallet.” The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is on the case, working with the bank’s cybersecurity team, and they’re promising arrests “any day now.” 🕵️♂️💻
