⚡️🇩🇪 NEW - Archetyp Darknet Market operator charged over €330M darknet drug trade
German prosecutors charged a 31-year-old man accused of founding and administering Archetyp Market, once described as the world’s largest darknet marketplace for illegal drugs.
Authorities say the platform processed around 2.3 million orders between November 2022 and its June 2025 shutdown, generating an estimated €330 million in sales.
Archetyp allegedly had more than 600,000 customer accounts, around 3,000 professional vendors, and 17,000 listings for cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cannabis, prescription drugs, and other substances.
The suspect allegedly collected a 5% commission and other fees, earning around €20 million.
He was arrested (video) in Barcelona during Operation Deep Sentinel and later extradited to Germany. Authorities have seized nearly €10 million in cryptocurrency, cash, and luxury vehicles.
He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

⚡️🔎 UPDATE - Stolen Coldcard BTC remains frozen in plain sight
Around 90% of the roughly 1,600 BTC stolen in the COLDCARD exploit has not moved since the initial send to a hacker controlled address.
About 10% (160 BTC) has only been shuffled to second-hop wallets.
Thus far:
- 0 BTC cashed out through exchanges
- 0 BTC sent through mixers or CoinJoin
The first and largest theft took 41 minutes.
Laundering it is proving far harder, with roughly 600 attacker addresses now flagged by US law enforcement, exchanges, and blockchain analytics firms.
The funds remain fully traceable and effectively frozen under constant surveillance.

2026-08-04 18:38:18 UTC

⚡️💬 TESTOMINIAL - COINKITE CTO ALLEGEDLY DISMISSED WARNING ABOUT FAULTY RNG CODE A YEAR BEFORE EXPLOIT
New evidence suggests the pseudonymous switck account that wrote the LibNgU code at the center of the COLDCARD entropy failure was actually Coinkite co-founder and CTO Peter Gray.
Researchers say Gray’s GPG key signed dozens of switck commits, with additional identifiers appearing to link the two identities.
Bitcoin developer James O’Beirne says he warned Coinkite in May 2025 that LibNgU’s RNG implementation looked suspicious and recommended removing it, but says he was told any issue would already have been discovered.
Screenshots also show users questioning the LibNgU rewrite as early as April 2021.
If these findings are accurate, it would mean the engineer who introduced the code later tied to the theft of more than 1,800 BTC also received a direct warning about the RNG implementation more than a year before the vulnerability was publicly disclosed.
🗣 "I haven't told the full story yet, but I came to the same conclusion back in May 2025 when I started doing an audit of `coldcard/firmware`.
I wanted to figure out conclusively where the CC RNG was getting sourced from, and found that it backed up to some shady library called libngu (https://github.com/switck/libngu) that had literally 6 stars on github and was maintained solely by a pseudoanon tranny.
I knew from past experience that linking to libsecp256k1 from Python was pretty easy, which seemed to be the stated purpose of the library use, and so I was confused about why it was there.
I sent a report to the CC team that I had doubts about whether the true RNG was actually in use, and pointed out that the hardcoded yasmarang constants in libngu were sloppy. I advised they rip the whole thing out and link against libsecp256k1 directly.
I was told that if something was wrong "we'd already know about it by now" and that everything was properly configured for the real boards.
I didn't follow up rigorously, which was a horrible mistake on my part." https://blossom.primal.net/c4e600928db7990c55223f08e01a2a4329829f2dc59f81a56990547f953e62ae.png

⚡️🇺🇸👮‍♂️ NEW - An FBI agent allegedly stole $1 million in cryptocurrency… before asking ChatGPT how to spend his loot.
Patrick Yaroch, a supervising agent in the FBI’s counterintelligence division, is accused of embezzling nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from wallets seized as part of federal investigations.
According to court documents, he allegedly discovered private keys that allowed him to discreetly transfer the funds to his own wallets, carrying out a dozen transactions between late 2024 and early 2025.
But what surprised investigators the most was how he allegedly planned his next move. According to the investigation, Yaroch turned to ChatGPT to ask how to invest or spend that $1 million, as well as which European country to settle in. Taking into account his family situation, his budget, and his desire to purchase a vineyard spanning several hectares, the AI reportedly recommended... Portugal as the ideal destination.
Investigators also claim that he had already booked a flight to Portugal, scheduled to depart on September 3. Before his arrest, he reportedly admitted to the facts to an employee of the Department of Justice, stating that he had “made some very bad decisions regarding cryptocurrency portfolios,” and then confided to other FBI agents that he had “ruined everything.”
Patrick Yaroch was fired from the FBI on July 31 and now faces several federal charges, including transporting and receiving stolen property. If convicted, he faces significant prison sentences.

Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich created a project called DoomPaint, which uses Paint as the game’s display.
Instead of rendering the game in a normal window, every frame is copied into Paint in real time.
The game can run at up to 35 FPS on some systems. It uses the original DOOM engine, supports sound and music, and can load the original DOOM1.WAD shareware files.
The project is open source, another step to getting DOOM to run on just about anything.

Finding a block solo is a rather rare occurrence.
Today, the vast majority of miners join mining pools, where rewards are shared among thousands of participants to ensure a more consistent income.
For a solo miner, discovering a block is often like winning the lottery: the odds are very low, but when it happens, the reward is all theirs.

⚡️🇬🇧🇫🇷 NEW - Two crypto millionaires got kidnapped and tortured over a drug run in London.
The pair, both French and in their 20s, had driven from Kensington to east London to buy cannabis, and that's when three masked men with a gun and knife grabbed them and hauled them to a flat in Canning Town.
From there it turned into 52 hours of hell. A court heard they were cable-tied, beaten, burned with cigarettes, scalded with boiling water, and fed just one chicken wing between them, all while the gang demanded $150,000 in crypto.
One of them was freed after transferring $30,000, but the other says he was then "sold" to a second gang. The whole thing finally ended in a police chase hitting 70mph through residential streets, which wrapped up with the getaway car crashing into a lamp post.
Six men have now been convicted, though the ringleader ran it all by WhatsApp from overseas and is still out there.
And that's the ugly lesson underneath it. Carry life-changing money on a phone and you become a target for people who'll torture you for the password.

Video shows Israeli forces detained the ambulance crew for more than 30 minutes, subjected the bleeding, critically ill woman to a physical search, and ordered the driver to turn off the engine, cutting power to the vehicle’s onboard medical equipment.
During the forced delay, a nurse was forced to deliver the fetus stillborn inside the stranded ambulance. The woman was eventually allowed to proceed to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery and saved her life. The baby could not be saved. https://blossom.primal.net/87db411ef106b1b42d9ee076bcc67cbd350bffa0b29aa31aeaa202334d2aa7fa.mp4

Back in 2023, hardware wallet educator YTCryptoGuide warned that COLDCARD Mk4 allowed users to create a wallet with as little as one dice roll, making it easy for people to mistakenly generate extremely weak seeds.
He also warned the interface could lead users to believe their dice rolls were being mixed with the device’s hardware RNG when, in some workflows, they were not.
Ironically, many advanced users chose dice rolls because they didn’t fully trust the hardware RNG.
This video now carries new significance following the discovery of COLDCARD’s RNG vulnerability.

The sender spent 0.002347 BTC, sent just 1,590 sats to the attacker and returned the rest to a change address. The ad cost roughly $1.30.
The OP_Return message includes the Telegram handle of whoever sent the solicitation, which I will not publish.
There is also no proof the advertised account is authentic.
Most importantly, the stolen bitcoin still has not moved. This was someone approaching the attacker, not evidence the attacker is already laundering the funds.
