AI-Generated IDs Passing Crypto Exchange Verification?

🧈 Here’s the Butter: A slick new service called OnlyFake/Verif.tools is making waves in the crypto world by churning out fake driver's licenses and passports for just $15 a pop. Using AI "neural networks" and "generators," this service has reportedly slipped past KYC checks on several crypto exchanges, no questions asked.

Now, I know where a lot of your heads are at after reading that, lol. Don’t do it…

🍞 Need Bread: It creates just about any doc you can think of from damn near 26 countries. On February 5, 404 Media flexed its skills that their AI breezed past KYC verification on OKX using a phony British passport whipped up by OnlyFake. Other users in a Telegram group were hyped to share their success stories of using these IDs to get the green light at different crypto exchanges and financial service providers like Kraken, Bybit, Bitget, Huobi, and PayPal. Some Telegram users even expressed their annoyance because they were being charged more from “plugs” who claimed to have been making these phony documents when in reality it was all AI-generated from the jump. Scammers mad that they are being scammed by other scammers, smh.

There’s so Mushroom In My Heart for You
By Kervins Valcourt

🧈 OK, let’s get to the butter: New Jersey is considering making mushrooms legal for New Jerseyites. The whole psychedelic scene is blowing up, and everyone’s talking about this mind bending drug or what i call some much needed “medication.” We're talking about psychedelics – the real game-changers. Studies are dropping results that'll make your jaw drop – curing PTSD, depression, and even tackling addiction and anorexia. I mean, anyone who has ever gone to Burning Man has been saying that for years. It’s like a revolution in psychiatry. Even David Olson from UC Davis is hyping it up, saying “it’s the fresh breed we’ve been waiting for.” After delving into it further, there's a lot of buzz surrounding it from everyone.: NYU, Johns Hopkins, Washington University, and more, who all have whole programs devoted to shrooms. My Dude these colleges really have A WHOLE program devoted to blowing your mind. Damn, low key I need to sign up.

Below, I'll demonstrate how you can profit from this opportunity.

But hold up, we got a debate on our hands. On one side you have, Michelle Lhooq from Buisnessweek who’s spilling the tea on black-market mushroom spots popping up in Vancouver, where they're about to decriminalize hard drugs. It's like the Wild West of drug policy experiments.

Sneaky shops are also opening in places like Oakland and Portland, where mushrooms are getting the decriminalization treatment. It's all part of the movement to make these substances more accessible to everyone. But not everyone's vibing with that. Some folks argue these psychedelics are so potent that we need some serious supervision and controls. Clinical trials are dropping knowledge bombs, like in that Compass Pathways psilocybin trial last year, where folks started having dark thoughts after treatment. We can't afford any tragedies sending us back to the stone age of drug wars!

On the other side you have Payton Nyquvest from Numinus Wellness in Canada is dropping wisdom, saying we gotta be cautious with these powerful tools.  You also have Olson who is taking it to the next level, thinking about stripping away the trippy parts of psychedelic drugs altogether.

Now, peep Oregon – they're finding a middle ground. Psilocybin is legal for therapy there, but it ain't like grabbing some weed and chilling at home. Nah, you gotta hit up a licensed guide trained by the government to take you through the mushroom journey. It's like a trip but with a side of professionalism.

🍞 Now, how do we get to the bread: Take a look at:

These are some small companies, but I would keep them on my watchlist. They are all available on Robinhood and all the platforms, so rest easy. Now, if I wanted to gamble a little, I would drop a couple of bands on stocks like ATAI and MNMD. However, ATAI has been going wild, up 70% from the time of this publication 🚀 🌕️ . If I'm feeling spicy, maybe even consider some calls at least six months out, 10% - 15% out of the money. And HODL!
