- Scream fUSD market manipulation
- ================================================================================
- The address in question is 0xf2c155be5d19d20037b3ea7118100aed4b4a5dc2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The wallet seems to have been funded by:
- 0x8736a1B280e765930A27e8e6F7F95Ac77B766f53 (Wallet balance: 0.00397670004461664 FTM [inactive]),

- 0xd439f3a2CA404Cc6E01dbABc295D7737824D21C3 (Wallet balance: 230.002011099919634333 FTM [inactive]),
- 0x2fFED8e9ccdc940434bB7ff35c3FFEA60B7a52Bc (Wallet balance: 0.098487400000483971 FTM + 0.133626262119522015 wFTM [inactive]),
- 0x42FcD6c8fC5715B390a76A02344347a291bbdd48 (Wallet balance: 0.004476699995 FTM [inactive] + 100 FTM on Ethereum),
- 0x8D7E07b1A346ac29e922ac01Fa34cb2029f536B9 (Wallet balance: 6,434.26682779375256936 FTM + 32,842.290263801734857627 SCREAM + 30,910.039907 USDC + 1,442,384.130832335041589982 FTMO + More tokens [ACTIVE: Wallet balance via DeBank is $8,707,868]),
- 0xB7c993CA96444c4677A4A956c3fa37cC342769fc (Wallet balance: 4.902832342067544926 FTM [Semi-active, last OUT tx was on Feb-25-2022 04:49:30 PM +UTC]),
- 0xEBf4FBB9C81b84dd5CF89BC75588E5d0018501b3 (Wallet balance: 2,302,070.225577217198375149 FTM + $450,000 in various tokens -- seems to be a CEx wallet, as it transacts multiple times a minute),
- 0x8800528F6b9480DBbffD65Fe6d8cC075bac7C1A8 (Wallet balance: 7,512.8947255319392 FTM [inactive, but there have been some IN transfers within the last 120 days] + 1000 USDT on Ethereum),
- 0x4FD1f477144f2D81DC2CeF011164a63cFc2cFD57 (Wallet balance: 0.098533600203520522 FTM [inactive]),
- 0xd6A37423Be930019b8CFeA57BE049329f3119a3D (Wallet balance: 17,039.263147567522822931 FTM [ACTIVE: FTMScan comments seem to indicate this address' balance is stolen {see note #1}])
- 0x8D7E07b1A346ac29e922ac01Fa34cb2029f536B9 seems to have been the most active sender, so the primary addresses for the manipulator are most likely:
- = 0xf2C155be5d19d20037B3eA7118100aeD4B4a5DC2
- = 0x8D7E07b1A346ac29e922ac01Fa34cb2029f536B9
- => Total balance is $189,790 + $8,777,430 = $8,967,220
- 0x8D7E... has over 500 followers on DeBank, but this just seems to be the fame associated with a top-10,000 wallet.
- 0xf2C1... has 2 followers, one of which is 0xbbc02dbd39941fffa605171a977d44c6baf915c2, or Kesha (Kryptopaid on github), the other is 0xcff8097b146dc56f40bdf34e18e0283dd404765f, which does not have many significant connections.
- Node 38, A.K.A. nodo38
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 0xf2C155be5d19d20037B3eA7118100aeD4B4a5DC2 is the address for validator node #38 on Fantom.
- Their alias is nodo38, which leads you to their Twitter account, @nodo38FTM (329 Followers at time of writing).
- That leads you to their almost unknown telegram group, t.me/nodo38group. From there, you can find the admin is @nodo38FTM on telegram.
- Additionally, searching 'nodo.38' leads you to an Instagram account with the tag being @nodo.38.
- > Prepare yourself for the potentially most useless tangent ever! <
- @nodo.38 on Instagram follows 15 people:
- >> libreria4m
- >> marcelascz
- >> gonzalodosio
- >> estefania_guidi
- >> ing.levato
- >> david.gonzalez.tattoo
- >> nomanches.deco
- >> bicside_fabrica
- >> santi.poyo.guzman
- >> rosariocentral (verified)
- >> limacafe.pasteleria
- >> mesabe_bien
- >> holasalero
- >> alegrasrl
- >> equipamientosrosariok
- @rosariocentral seems to be the biggest clue as to where @nodo.38 is located -- somewhere near Rosario Central (who could have guessed).
- \/ THIS IS PROBABLY IRRELEVANT \/
- Rosario Central is a sports club located in Argentina. It was established 132 years ago, which seems to justify the large amount of followers on the Instagram acct.
- If @nodo.38 is located in Argentina, this would align with the times that @nodo38FTM is active on Telegram.
- I won't look much more, since the point of this was not to get people to go harass a person.

- Ethereum:
- ================================================================================
- 0xf2C155be5d19d20037B3eA7118100aeD4B4a5DC2 on ETH is funded by 0x98f5C6B9e3D0A8b254bBC7639255594E3C1Bb942 with 0.2 ETH, and Binance 10 at txhash 0xdb64fe374daaa11f264717c477589cbabfa84416cba7dd1e27953e4bc071f4df
- 0x98... is funded by 0x8D7E07b1A346ac29e922ac01Fa34cb2029f536B9 and Binance 2 is a similar pattern to nodo38's wallet, which further solidifies the connection of these 2 wallets.
- \/ new wallet found \/
- 0x8D... is initially funded by 0x25E94Baa6891FA32b90f0D48850CE552edD01bd4, and nodo38. This gives us a new wallet to look into.
- 0x25... seems to be an intermediary wallet with no Ether in it. 0x25... is funded by 0x84583173EA6104660901090A708C3666014f570D.
- Something to note about 0x84... is that it sends funds to 'Coinbase: Miscellaneous', which gives us another CEx which hopefully has nodo38's identity.
- At a first glance, on etherscan (https://etherscan.io/address/0x84583173EA6104660901090A708C3666014f570D) it seems like the ETH just appeared out of no-where. If you click on 'Internal Txns', you see wallet 0x604df452158e7ddf3e44338308edc079a953c9da funded 0x84... at txhash 0xdd6d56c6f24511471739278962e35a2b8de5132815351bb741bf6d244c18ed86. This wallet did so using an unverified multisig contract (0x0a1820f0ff7dc9fce0a4f0b589ee14ddae88233c).
- 0x0a1820f0ff7dc9fce0a4f0b589ee14ddae88233c holds an Enjin NFT. This NFT on Enjin's website can be seen here https://enjinx.io/eth/asset/1000000000000428/
- This NFT was sent to it by 0x5Df2E003CEcb0ebf69cBd8F7Fbb6F44F690331F2 in a batch transfer. This address does not seem to be connected, so let's move on...
- The creator of 0x0a1... is 0x604df452158e7ddf3e44338308edc079a953c9da.
- This address seems to be the primary address (which seems botted, or just very active at the time of writing [11 txns in 1 hr]). It was funded by Binance over 1400 Days ago. It also recieved Ether from Bitfinex & Hotbit.
- However, 0x41d57e163b6c64fca2cd6535fcaa199b1fedd98b also sent it 0.39... ETH. This transaction has some data, and if we look at it, it says:
- "COINOMAT/FROM TARGET 0.39636900000000"
- The same thing happened a few days later, with the message being:
- "COINOMAT/FROM TARGET 0.46910000000000"
- 0xFEEA60EEdb79686B3033AeCB6fC206E0c5517ecf also sends it some Ether.
- CoinoMat is a Russian-based, for-profit company, their crunchbase reads: "Coinomat is a gateway service for Waves Platform".
- This may contradict the findings about nodo38 being Argentine. Why is this significant? Because 0xbbc02dbd39941fffa605171a977d44c6baf915c2 on DeBank is Kryptopaid on github. Kryptopaid's avatar is a mouse saying something in what seems to be the Cyrillic alphabet (I'm not sure), with the Ukrainian flag behind it.
- Additionally, CoinoMat's Twitter account was suspended (@coinomat).
- https://www.facebook.com/Coinomat has been inactive since 2016.
- Created contracts:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 0x33545e5a75DA445F36C41e564003F65757194A0d, a literal nothing contract, the bytecode is `0x`
- Notes:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- #1) LAmara1 on FTMScan claims that over 20,000 FTM got stolen from them, but there is no on-chain evidence for this. The 'return' address is 0x94c147ab659ff47d9d8e5c508616cb25a02239d4, which DID get a total of 52,334 FTM sent to them from the 'robber' address, but as the first two transactions that wallet ever received. Scammer or another address in disguise?
- [==============================================================================]
- Finding where all the other addresses were funded would be a huge task, and definitely not something I would want to spend the little free time I have on.
- This is all the research I will be doing for now, as I do not see many more trails worth following.
- If you want to contact me further, send me a DM here at @zdotftm or on Telegram @OHMKI/@zdotftm (I check @OHMKI more often).
- To donate, my address is z.ftm/0x3e522051a9b1958aa1e828ac24afba4a551df37d,
- but I would prefer you to register your own .ftm name at https://rave.domains (@rave_names) :)
- Thanks for reading through this mess,
- RandomZ
