Eric Council Jr. pleaded guilty to charges related to the January 2024 hack of the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Twitter account, which saw a fake announcement about the Bitcoin cryptocurrency posted to its followers. Read more in my article on the Hot for Security blog.

Let’s imagine someone, say, Emma, meets a nice person on a dating site who seems very caring and genuine. After building trust, that person asks Emma to accept a crypto transfer and send it back to a different account in portions.

“I’m abroad now, and my accounts are restricted due to local regulations. Could you help me by accepting the transfer and sending it back to a different account in smaller parts? It’s just a temporary issue until I can sort things out here,” the new acquaintance explains.

Later, the police show up at Emma’s office. It turns out that their account was used for terrorist financing.

Shock, embarrassment, confusion, fear, anger, regret for not checking that address… How would you feel in Emma’s shoes? Perhaps, pretty much the same. Let’s check out why even simple checks can help you avoid ending up in a situation like this or even worse.

Why every coin’s origin matters to you

There are three main reasons:

1) Understanding the source of your funds is not just good practice — it's a necessity. Anti-money laundering (AML) laws are designed to prevent the flow of money from illegal activities such as drug trafficking, terrorism, and fraud. Accepting illicit money and violating AML rules could result in a penalty, fine, or even a prison sentence.

IRL examples

In 2022, the US charged 21 individuals with helping criminals launder money via crypto. Some have received 46-month prison sentences!

In the same year, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission fined three BitMEX co-founders a total of $30 million for failing to comply with AML and other regulatory requirements.

In 2023, Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s founder, pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an effective AML program, part of a $4.3 billion settlement with regulators. He stepped down as CEO, paid a $50 million fine, and was sentenced to four months in prison in April 2024.

Luckily, checking where crypto comes from is easy. For example, in Satoshi Eye, a new wallet checker, you just enter the address in the search line and get the necessary info. In this report, you can clearly see that the address is associated with hacks, scams, and sanctions. It’s associated with the notorious Huoine Group, recently shut down by FinCEN.

2) When crypto exchanges/services are sanctioned or involved in illegal activities, you could get your assets frozen. Moreover, unregulated services often don’t have the mechanisms to protect user assets during legal actions. This means reclaiming your funds will be challenging or even impossible.

IRL examples

When Tornado Cash mixer was sanctioned, funds were locked in the tool’s wallets. Average users who utilized the mixer for legal purposes had to file for a specific license to get their crypto back. Some even sued the US Treasury for those sanctions and blocked funds.

OKX CEO wrote that accounts interacting with sanctioned services like Garantex and Tornado Cash will be blocked, and the funds in such accounts might be frozen.

Again, with a few clicks, you can get the necessary data. The report clearly shows that the address in question is owned by the sanctioned hacker group Lazarus.

Colleagues, clients, and acquaintances may lose trust in you if they suspect your involvement in shady transactions. No one wants to be associated with criminal activity: it’s huge reputational damage.

This all sounds scary, but the good news is that you can protect yourself by checking key details about addresses and crypto services you engage with. But where do you even start if you’re not an expert? Hang tight for Satoshi Eye. Your new crypto wallet checker is coming soon!

I shared this a little while ago. Since then, I've implemented some feature requests and added a small weather widget.

There are also static pages for major cities if you prefer not to use the location-based version. e.g., https://sunrisewhen.com/new-york

I know most phones and browsers already provide this kind of info, but it's a fun little project I enjoy keeping alive.

cheers

Hi HN ! We built BrainTerms.ai to help entrepreneurs, teams, and companies design better product strategies using specialized AI agents.

Each AI agent has expert-level knowledge in areas like strategic thinking, benchmarking, innovation planning, business models, growth marketing...

They collaborate as a team, orchestrated based on your specific journey, starting with a guided Design Thinking session.

You can also simulate your customers or executive committee and see how your product strategies evolve based on their reactions.

You could get a digital twin of your own business and play smartly around it.

We're trying to bring frictionless access to strategic expertise, something that's often hard to get in most companies. Our goal is to help anyone build the right thing and deliver value faster.

We think also that any Vice Coder and startup could use it to iterate and validate faster.

We're based in Brussels, Belgium and would love your feedback on the concept, UX, and onboarding. What would make this 10x more valuable for your business or projects?

Thanks!

Okay Semi-joking with the title

But yeah, been working on this for a while, looks pretty cool (even on mobile)

Has Games, Themes, fun misc commands, an "AI" JARVIS (PS: I'd challenge you to guess the LLM I'm using :p)

Open Source(ish) too - https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/kuberwastaken.github.io

Would love to know if you've seen better or what can I improve (half considering adding a GUI mode for non technical people too)
