\u2018Scam of all scams\u2019: Crypto dev claims Trump-linked WLFI \u2018stole\u2019 his money<\/h2>\n

A crypto developer has accused World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project with ties to US President Donald Trump, of stealing his funds by refusing to unlock his tokens.<\/p>\n

In a Saturday\u00a0post<\/a>\u00a0on X, Polygon DevRel Bruno Skvorc shared an email from WLFI\u2019s compliance team, which flagged his wallet address as \u201chigh risk\u201d due to blockchain exposure. The team said his tokens would not be released.<\/p>\n

\u201cTLDR is, they stole my money,\u201d Skvorc wrote. \u201cAnd because it\u2019s the @POTUS [The president of the United States] family, I can\u2019t do anything about it. This is the new age mafia. There is no one to complain to, no one to argue with, no one to sue.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to another user, Skvorc\u00a0claimed<\/a>\u00a0that he is one of six investors who were subject to 100% token lockups from the beginning. \u201cIt was not \u2018high risk\u2019 to accept money from this address, but it is high risk to unlock owed money into it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin traders tipping Q4 price top do ‘not understand statistics\u2019 \u2014 Analyst<\/h2>\n

Traders who predict Bitcoin will reach its cycle-high price by the end<\/a> of this year may be misunderstanding the principles of statistics, a Bitcoin analyst says.<\/p>\n

It comes as several analysts have been forecasting the outcome for Bitcoin\u00a0in recent times.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who thinks Bitcoin has to peak in Q4 of this year does not understand statistics or probability,\u201d PlanC\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in an X post on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a statistical and probability standpoint, it is equivalent to flipping a coin and getting tails three times in a row, then betting all your money that the fourth flip MUST BE tails,\u201d PlanC said, explaining that relying on the three previous halving cycles doesn\u2019t provide enough statistically significant data.<\/p>\n
