Prison Cell Transforms Into Crypto Command Center

Here’s a story about determination and ingenuity worthy of a movie. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

Srikrishna Ramesh, aka Sriki, turned his quarantine cell in the Parappana Agrahara (Bengaluru, India) prison into a makeshift $BTC trading floor. Yeah, you heard that right.

This notorious hacker, who first made headlines in 2020 for his DarkNet drug deals, decided jail was just another day at the office.

Srik orchestrated a β‚Ή10 crore (about $1.2 million) Bitcoin scam from behind bars. How? Well, apparently, with a little help from his friends and a constable who smuggled in a laptop. Talk about service.πŸ”’

In a 20-minute crypto frenzy, Sriki transferred the Bitcoin to various wallets, kicking off a money laundering extravaganza. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is now on a wild goose chase to track down this digital dough.

What’s more intriguing is that Sriki’s been playing this game for almost a year, bouncing between a senior officer’s house and his quarantine cell.Β 

Three bigwig officers are on the hot seat, and the investigation is ongoing. πŸ’°

Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) help us visualize how a currency or sector performs compared to a benchmark – in this case, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). Think of the four colored sectors as stages in a race:

Leading Quadrant (green) – You’re a champ! πŸ† You’re ahead of everyone else, and the crowd is cheering. But watch out; you might be overdoing it.
Weakening Quadrant (yellow) – You’re slowing down πŸ˜“ and losing your lead. Maybe you’re a bit demoralized because your biggest fan didn’t show up. You’re now in the middle of the pack.
Lagging Quadrant (red) – Disaster strikes! 😱 You’re injured, exhausted, or just made a big mistake. You’re now in last place, and it’s a sad scene.
Improving Quadrant (blue) – Time for a comeback! πŸ’ͺ Your motivation returns, the music swells, and you’re picking up speed. You’re back in the middle, catching up with the leaders.
