The real Bitcoin Founder is suited in jail for life!

This is Paul Le Roux, the man who holds $64B in BTC

I researched all the interviews and leaked data

Here is the truth about BTC founder and what can be his next move🧵👇🏻

2/➫ Let's talk about Paul Le Roux

❍ Not just some coder - this guy was a genius who built encryption software, ran a global criminal empire, and might just be Satoshi Nakamoto

❍ Sounds wild? Let's dive into the facts👇

3/➫ A major clue appeared during the Kleiman v. Wright lawsuit

❍ Craig Wright oddly linked Le Roux’s Wikipedia page in an unredacted footnote labeled "Document 187."

❍ This unusual mention sparked immediate speculation that Wright knew something crucial about Le Roux's identity

4/➫ Following this revelation, an anonymous user leaked Le Roux’s Congo Republic ID card on 4chan

❍ It displays his full name as “Paul Soloci Calder Le Roux.”

❍ This middle name "Solotshi" closely mirrors "Satoshi," suggesting a deliberate hint

5/➫ The anonymous 4chan poster claimed Le Roux invented Bitcoin specifically for money laundering

❍ According to them, Bitcoin was the project of an "evil genius," designed to serve his criminal empire

❍ They noted his arrest in 2012 abruptly ended his Satoshi identity

6/➫ Le Roux’s technical expertise also aligns perfectly with Satoshi’s known skills

❍ He created E4M ("Encryption for the Masses"), an influential open-source encryption program

❍ A derivative called TrueCrypt was released later, though Le Roux denies involvement

📢 Big Update for #stablecoins : The U.S. SEC has officially closed its investigation into PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, without taking any enforcement action.

In a recent filing, PayPal revealed the SEC issued a document subpoena in Nov 2023 and concluded the probe in Feb 2025. While this is positive news, PayPal also warned of potential future compliance costs from evolving regulations — and risks if PYUSD is ever tied to illicit activity or litigation.

For now, this closure could help ease institutional concerns around stablecoin adoption. 🚀

🔍 Big developments in crypto policy!

The UK Treasury has announced plans to collaborate with the United States to boost innovation in the cryptocurrency sector.

In a statement released on April 30, UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves outlined the “Change Plan ”—a regulatory initiative aimed at creating new rules for crypto asset providers like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The goal? Strengthen investor confidence and fuel industry growth.

Reeves recently met with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington to discuss cross-border cooperation on digital asset regulation. They’re working closely through the UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group, including exploring ideas from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.

This follows recent pro-crypto moves by the UK government, like revising the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in January to ease restrictions on staking services—marking a clear shift toward fostering innovation.

💡 The message is clear: the UK wants to be "the best place for innovation in the world ."

🔐 BREAKING: U.S. Court Rules OFAC’s Sanctions on Tornado Cash Were Illegal

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas has issued a final ruling in the long-standing legal battle over Tornado Cash, declaring that the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) acted unlawfully by sanctioning the privacy protocol.

In a win for privacy advocates and decentralized technology, the court has permanently prohibited OFAC from imposing sanctions on the Tornado Cash protocol itself — ending a two-year legal dispute.

📜 While OFAC removed Tornado Cash from its sanctions list earlier this year, the court noted its attempt to reserve the right to re-sanction in the future. Judge Robert Pitman ruled that such actions must comply with the precedent set by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

⚖️ Plaintiffs’ attorneys accused OFAC of trying to sidestep judicial review through procedural maneuvers — a move the court clearly rejected.

⚠️ Important note: This ruling applies only to the protocol, not to individuals. Developers Roman Storm and Roman Semenov remain under criminal indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice and are still listed on OFAC sanctions.

A landmark decision with major implications for crypto regulation, decentralization, and digital rights.

🚀 Breaking: Trump-Backed Stablecoin USD1 Hits $1.02B Market Cap Across Ethereum & BNB Chain!

The stablecoin USD1 from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto project tied to the Trump family, has now surpassed $1.02 billion in total market value — with over $1B+ on BNB Chain alone!

On-chain data reveals three rapid minting events recently on BNB Chain, injecting hundreds of millions of USD1 into the network. Paired with existing supply on Ethereum, the token’s footprint is rapidly expanding.

Analysts suggest this surge could be part of a larger strategy to boost USD1’s adoption across DeFi protocols, cross-chain liquidity pools, and major trading platforms.

Is USD1 positioning itself as a major player in the stablecoin ecosystem? Time will tell — but the momentum is undeniable. 💸

David Marcus, former PayPal President and current CEO of Lightspark, announced the launch of Spark, a new Bitcoin Layer-2 solution compatible with the Lightning Network.

Unveiled at Lightspark’s first partner summit, Lightspark Sync, Spark enables non-custodial use of Bitcoin and stablecoins, enhancing transaction speed and cost-efficiency.

The platform builds on Lightspark’s Universal Money Address (UMA) standard, introducing features like tipping, subscriptions, and invoicing over Lightning, while also integrating with legacy banking systems for broader accessibility.

Marcus aims to position Bitcoin as a global settlement layer, addressing Lightning’s complexity and reliability issues to make it enterprise-grade for institutions and banks.

BREAKING: #Tether Treasury just minted 2 billion #USDT in two transactions on the Ethereum network (via WhaleAlert).

According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, the newly minted USDT is a replenishment of inventory, part of routine operations.

Notably, this is an authorized but unissued transaction — meaning these tokens will be held as reserve inventory for future issuance requests & chain swaps.

Also weighing in, Federation Council's Nikolai Zhuravlev stressed the importance of proactive legislation to protect the financial system.
