📌 Cryptologists in X have noticed a pattern: every major conviction of a crypto CEO coincides with a local BTC bottom.
• 2018: Arrest of Alexander Vinnik (BTC-e) – the exchange processed $9 billion in transactions and was used for money laundering.
• 2022-2023: Sentences of Do Kwon (Terra) and Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX) – the crypto market bottomed at $15.5k, after which it began to rise to new ATHs.
• 2024: CZ (Binance) received a 4-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to AML violations. Pardoned by Trump in October 2025.
A fresh candidate for the role of "bottom indicator":
• February 10, 2026, SafeMoon CEO Braden Caroni was sentenced to 100 months (8+ years) in prison.
• Stealed $9+ million from investors through access to a liquidity pool. Spent on mansions, an Audi R8, and custom pickup trucks.
• At its peak, SafeMoon had a market cap of $8 billion and millions of holders.
Coincidence or not, Caroni's sentence came at a time when BTC is trading around $70,000 after falling from $126,000.
