The Enemy Is Already Here
281: Are You Paying Attention?
Before we get into today’s topic of US Security Concerns, a quick note on crypto and the options I have for folks to get involved and make money.
The bull market is underway, we have a BTC and an ETH ETF approval cemented, institutions are diving into the space, and price action is beginning to get interesting. With that want to make you all aware of some of the hook ups I have to get you some free crypto/cash.
Gemini
As most of you know I have partnered with Gemini in order to seamlessly get folks into crypto within 10-15 minutes. You may have heard yesterday but Earn users received $2.18 billion of their digital assets in kind yesterday, funds that were in jeopardy due to the Genesis debacle. The detail are as follows for Earn users:
• 97% of digital assets owed to Earn users
• $1 billion more than when Genesis halted withdrawals
• A 232% recovery from when Genesis halted withdrawals
This represents an unprecedented recovery among crypto bankruptcies, as well as bankruptcies in general and Gemini has also contributed $50 million to the Earn users’ recovery.
Gemini has been my preferred exchange since I first got into crypto in 2017 because they are reliable, trustworthy, and prioritize security.
That being said, I have a running hook up with Gemini to get folks $50 of free Bitcoin with any trade over $500. If you want to diversify on a new exchange or get your feet wet this is a great way to start.

PACMOON (Free Money)
If you read Arb Letter consistently you caught my posts on the Blast Airdrop. Some of you are likely earning quite a bit or poised to get a decent airdrop at the end of June. Within the Blast ecosystem are many dapps and tokens gaining attention quickly.
One of which, is PAC or Pacmoon which had a great run in DistrictOne, the socialfi dapp on Blast. Pacmoon is a unique and differentiated social earning project — in short, you create content about Pacmoon to earn and earn PAC. There have already been a few airdrops so far and the token is trading at $0.18 as of this morning.
Culturally PAC is similar to PEPE or other culture based meme tokens, the holders are fanatics and the devs have done an excellent job with incentives to gain natural marketing tailwinds from it’s expansion and growth.
If you want to check it out and earn free money (literally) you can head to Pacmoon.io and connect your wallet (I use Metamask). You can be a creator, where your PAC themed content can earn you airdrop PAC. If you buy or already hold over 10,000 PAC (about $1,800 as of this morning) you can become a social validator — and become someone who can delegate who received more PAC on Twitter.
To be clear — you don’t HAVE to buy any PAC to earn it.
You can gain access simply by using my referral code: arbitrageandy1
Visit Pacmoon.io
Enter my code - arbitrageandy1
Start earning PAC by creating PAC themed content and tagging the official Pacmoon Twitter
Since I got involved I have accumulated about 110,500 PAC (about $20,000) from participating in the ecosystem, creating content, and collaborating with other holders. Not bad for hardly any risk.
I won’t speculate on price but $1 would be laughably absurd and profitable.
Let me know if you have questions.
*MEME COIN DISCLAIMER*
Meme coins are highly speculative “assets” understand that this cycle will be no different than others. Nothing in Arb Letter constitutes financial advice, do your own research and when apeing into meme coins/tokens remember to not over-invest.
The Threats In America
Alright folks — serious topic today.
As we gear up to move into election season and while global conflicts continue to escalate, it’s worth examining some of the signs and developments here at home in the United States (though many similar things are happening in other Western countries as well).
The DHS (Department of Homeland Security) forecasted unrest this year due to the upcoming election:
In the coming months, factors that could mobilize individuals to commit violence include their perceptions of the 2024 general election cycle and legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to sociopolitical issues.
Likely targets of potential violence include US critical infrastructure, faith-based institutions, individuals or events associated with the LGBTQIA+ community, schools, racial and ethnic minorities, and government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement.
The aim of the post today is to make sure you are up to speed on all current information pertaining to threats on the homeland and in the West. Most people don’t even consider the threat level we are living under because “nothing ever happens”. Ask the Russian civilians who were in the Music Hall in Moscow or who were on the ground in Israel on October 7th and ask them if they could have imagined such tragedy would play out like it did.
“DHS continues to work with our partners to evaluate the threat environment, provide updates to the American public, and protect our homeland…. we urge the public to stay vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activity to their local law enforcement.”
— DHS Spokesperson
The political, social, and geopolitical environment is the perfect playing field for extremist activity. Today Politico reported that Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with U.S. weapons.
Sounds chill man, nuclear war is what we all want anyways. I’d love nothing more than to have a misunderstanding or escalation that forces the Russians to respond. That would be great.
Our politicians seem utterly dead set on pissing off our enemies abroad.
Back at home our society is beginning to emulate a third world street market.
Just today a man was stabbed in both legs by three men wielding a machete outside of the Times Square McDonald’s around 1 p.m.
Two 15-year-olds — a girl and a boy — were shot and wounded on a basketball court in Queens Wednesday afternoon when a man in all black rode by on a bike and opened fire.
Order is breaking down all across the world — and attracting bad actors like a dead whale brings in sharks.
As tensions rise and law enforcement becomes pre-occupied with larger demonstrations and protests, and while soft on crime policy and politicized federal agencies play politics, windows of opportunity are growing for bad actors all across the country.
We are soft and feeble, approaching a pivotal political juncture in the nation’s history at a time when MOST people are seeing the government for what it is and institutional trust is at all time lows.
Let’s start with a wild story out of North Carolina that seems to be a growing trend and consequence due to lax border policies, weak leaders, and a growing presence of foreign radicals in our own backyard.
Special Forces Colonel Offs Likely Russian Spy
You probably didn’t hear this story unless you follow Arb Letter on instagram but something pretty wild went down in North Carolina at the beginning of the month, and we are just starting to get details on it.
This is like something straight out of The Terminal List or a Tom Clancy novel.
