Promote with Leviathan NewsCast yer eye to Huione Guarantee: Telegram shut it on 13 May 2025 after more than $27 billion in transactions; Elliptic’s on-chain data says Tudou’s users more than doubled within weeks and its inflows neared Huione’s old peak.

Judge success by whether victim flows fall across the cluster, not by the treasure hauled in one raid. 🦑
