From Crypto King to Convict: The Rise & Fall of Alexey Andryunin
A young Russian mastermind built a crypto empire with Gotbit, propelling tokens to astronomical highs. Now, he stands in a U.S. courtroom, pleading guilty. But what exactly was his crime?
Market Maker or Scapegoat?
Ever seen a token surge 500% in minutes, only to plummet just as fast $BNB ? That’s market-making in action. Gotbit openly provided liquidity, inflated volumes, and made charts look "healthy"—a practice not uncommon in traditional finance.
The Numbers Behind Gotbit:
$450M+ processed
2,000+ projects, including tokens, NFTs, and blockchain platforms $BTC
$23M seized $XRP by U.S. authorities
Facing up to 24 months in prison
The Double Standard?
JP Morgan launders cartel money—no arrests.
Deutsche Bank facilitates Epstein’s transactions—no urgency to prosecute.
A 26-year-old crypto entrepreneur follows Wall Street’s playbook—arrested, extradited, and convicted.
So, who’s the real manipulator? Perhaps the real issue isn’t Andryunin, but a financial system that fears those who refuse to play by its rules.
