@oldgregg I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing. I’m talking about massive private sales, by the same rotating group of accounts, that are immediately sent to other exchanges to dump. (presumably while shorting) then the profits are rotated back into the machine. Which by itself would just be a strategy, but there are node providers directly complicit in the operations. I think these node providers ought to be booted from the network. It’s been happening for a long time but the operations in the last 3 months, have been massive. (nearly 1.3M ICP daily)
I didn’t even know about the waterneuron and SNS stuff. but I’ll find that to, that might clarify some of missing pieces.
I don’t know how to DM you I don’t have option to message you on here.
They are “round tripping” These (currently) 1.3mill icp daily in private sales. (to themself). That account that made the sale is now a burner account. It won’t be used again. the next sale will come from one of the accounts that bought it up.
How exactly this works to make more ICP? I don’t know. I just know that the number they are able to roundtrip is growing everyday.
This sort of trading activity is highly illegal in regulated markets. But this is crypto. I wouldn’t give AF honestly if node providers wern’t directly involved. The fuel that powers this and builds the ICP they have to do this is flowing directly from NP deposit accounts to this account. They didn’t even bother to wash through another CEX.
