President Donald Trump sparked outrage when he suggested awarding himself the Congressional Medal of Honor during a speech in Rome, Georgia at the Coosa Steel Corporation. Trump, who never served in the military, joked that he considered giving himself the decoration reserved for military members who exhibit valor. He claimed he was "extremely brave," but noted that military recipients have suffered severe injuries. Trump made a similar comment in 2019. The remarks ignited backlash on social media, with critics calling his comments "profoundly, offensively disgusting." Former Biden White House staffer Andrew Bates referenced Trump's history of cutting VA benefits. Florida gubernatorial candidate David Jolly urged voters to "send a very loud, undeniable message in November." Other commentators described Trump's behavior as childish and compared him to a "cartoon character."

Bubblemaps: The top five traders in STBL token trading volume are interconnected and have made profits exceeding $10 million

PANews reported on September 18th that blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps published an article on the X platform claiming that Tether co-founder Reeve Collins had just launched a new token, STBL. However, the top five traders are suspiciously interconnected and have profited over $10 million. Collins launched STBL yesterday, a new stablecoin system built around three tokens: USST (stablecoin), YLD (yield token supporting USST), and STBL (governance token). An analysis of the top five traders by STBL trading volume revealed that these five profit-makers received capital injections at the same time. Tracing the source of their funds revealed a clear connection: the funds all came from the same source (injected via Tornado Cash); bots were used to borrow USDC from the Venus Protocol; and the total profit exceeded $10 million. However, there is no evidence that these traders are connected to the core team. In fact, this group of bots has a history of extracting value from other tokens, not just STBL.
