📢 🚨 Hack of R$ 400 million exposes fragility in the Brazilian financial system

One of the largest cyber attacks in the history of the Brazilian banking system occurred this week. A third-party company connected to the Central Bank, C&M Software, was hacked — resulting in the diversion of at least R$ 400 million, potentially reaching R$ 1 billion, according to market sources.

🔍 C&M is responsible for integrating banks and fintechs into the SPB, PIX, and TED, acting as a bridge between institutions and the Central Bank.

💥 The attack targeted reserve accounts (used for settlements between banks, not for regular customers), with intruders accessing these accounts and moving the funds.

💸 Part of the diverted funds was quickly converted into cryptocurrencies, such as BTC and USDT, but international exchanges were able to trace and block some transactions.

⸻

🧠 Reflection for those operating in crypto:

Even with regulations and security layers in the traditional banking system, no environment is 100% inviolable. Transparency, decentralization, and traceability are not just rhetoric — they are the foundation of security in a well-structured crypto ecosystem.

⸻

🛡️ Central Bank has positioned itself:
• No internal system of the BC was compromised.
• No end customer was affected.
• Investigation ongoing with the Federal Police, Bacen, and intelligence agencies.

⸻

⚠️ Stay alert:

In an increasingly digital world, security is not optional. Strengthen authentications, review your accesses, and keep your crypto wallets protected.

O Caso do Banco Master parte 2 🚨

gazetadopovo O escândalo do Banco Master deixou de ser apenas um caso financeiro e passou a expor tensões profundas entre instituições da República. As investigações apontam para um esquema bilionário, envolvendo ativos sem lastro, lobby político e tentativas de transferência de prejuízos para um banco público.
A condução do caso pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, somada a decisões de sigilo e a episódios envolvendo ministros da Corte e do Tribunal de Contas da União, ampliou o desgaste da imagem do Judiciário e levantou questionamentos sobre limites, transparência e responsabilidade institucional.
Nos bastidores de Brasília, o temor é que o avanço das investigações revele conexões políticas capazes de afetar diretamente as eleições de 2026. A possível instalação de uma CPMI pode aprofundar o debate e transformar o caso em um dos principais temas do ano eleitoral, especialmente na disputa pelo Senado.

gazetadopovo: The scandal at Banco Master has ceased to be merely a financial issue and has now exposed deep tensions among institutions of the Republic. Investigations point to a billion-dollar scheme involving unbacked assets, political lobbying, and attempts to shift losses onto a public bank.
The handling of the case by the Supreme Federal Court, combined with decisions on secrecy and incidents involving justices from the Court and the Federal Court of Accounts, has damaged the judiciary's image and raised questions about institutional boundaries, transparency, and accountability.
In the corridors of Brasília, there is growing concern that the advancement of investigations could reveal political connections capable of directly impacting the 2026 elections. The possible establishment of a CPMI could deepen the debate and turn the case into one of the central topics of the electoral year, particularly in the Senate race.

MADURO BILLIONAIRE ! 💵💸🥃

🔴 SPEECH vs REALITY — SOCIALISM IN PRACTICE

SPEECH
• "Fight against the rich"
• "Defense of the poor"
• "Social equality"
• "Justice for the worker"

REALITY
• Rich people still exist — now within the State
• Poor people more dependent and without social mobility
• Equality only in poverty
• Worker without choice

⸻

⚖️ DIRECT COMPARISON

Countries with free economies
✔️ Plurality of power
✔️ Critical press
✔️ Wealth created by work
✔️ Possibility of social advancement

Authoritarian socialist regimes
❌ Concentrated power
❌ Repressed opposition
❌ Millionaire political elite
❌ People impoverished

⸻

💬 Conclusion
Socialism does not eliminate the elite — it only changes who owns the power.
The rhetoric is against the rich, but the outcome is always the same:
more powerful State, poorer people, and scarce freedom.

Evolution #btc

Gold outlived empires.
Fiat endures while power remains.
Bitcoin endures without asking for permission.

The question is not which rises the most.
It's which continues existing when the system fails.

The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás
Maduro by United States forces, announced in the early hours of this Saturday (3), is a turning point in American security policy for Latin America and sends a signal to Brazil about a new scenario in the region.
The operation indicates an unprecedented willingness from Washington to employ direct force in Latin America, something already anticipated in the launch of the new National Security Strategy at the end of last year. The document has been pointed out as a reinvention of the Monroe Doctrine, a principle from the 19th century that asserts the primacy of the United States over the western hemisphere.
Maduro was detained in Venezuelan territory and taken to the
United States to answer charges of narcoterrorism. The action occurred after weeks of escalating rhetoric, sanctions, and military movements in the Caribbean region. In a statement, Trump said that the operation opens a new phase in the relationship between the U.S. and regimes considered hostile on the continent.
For Brazil, the immediate impact may focus on the northern border. Venezuelan authorities even announced the closure of the land passage with Roraima on Saturday. The blockade, however, was temporary, and the border was reopened hours later, according to agency reports.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated recently, in a post on his own social network, Truth Social, that Nicolás Maduro was captured during a military operation conducted by American forces in Venezuela. According to Trump, the action was a total success.
In the message, the president declared that the operation achieved its objectives and that Maduro would be in custody, resulting from a direct action against the core of the chavista regime. Trump did not detail the steps of the mission, but made it clear that it was a successful operation, planned and executed with precision.
The statement comes after a night marked by explosions, intense overflights of military aircraft, and reports of coordinated actions in Caracas, a scenario that already indicated an unprecedented escalation. The American president's remarks elevate the level of the crisis and point to a radical change in the political landscape of Venezuela.
So far, the Venezuelan regime has not commented on the statement. The announcement made directly by the President of the United States resonates immediately in the international scene and places the country at the center of the greatest geopolitical tension on the continent in recent years.
News is developing.
The Vice President of Venezuela stated that the government is unaware of Maduro's whereabouts.
In a statement to the public network VTV, Rodríguez demanded
"immediate proof of life from President Donald Trump's government regarding the lives of President Maduro and the First Lady."

BRAZIL | The federal government will meet this Saturday (3) to discuss the United States' attack on Venezuela. The high-level meeting of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's management (PT) will take place in the morning at the Itamaraty Palace in Brasília. The information was released by "GloboNews". It is still unknown which ministers will participate in the meeting. The Minister of Foreign Relations, Mauro Vieira, went on vacation on December 21, with a forecast to return only on January 6, as published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU). President Lula and the First Lady Janja are also out of Brasília, at a military base in Restinga da Marambaia, in Rio de Janeiro. On the morning of this Saturday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that American forces carried out a large-scale attack against Venezuela. The head of state also claimed that the country captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The Presidents of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, condemned the military offensive of the United States in Venezuela. Russia condemned the military action of the US. The country led by Vladimir Putin argued that there was no justification for the attack and that "ideological hostility" prevailed over diplomacy. According to information from international agencies, the explosions began around 3 AM, Brasília time. The Venezuelan government claims that attacks hit Caracas, the capital of the country, as well as the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira.

Collateral effect? Note it down, it will reflect in Brazil!

Summarizing: ignore the news and live happily!

Any noise between the powers reflects on the exchange rate and on the influx of foreign capital. If you ignore the political scenario, you are not trading crypto, you are just waiting for luck.

Funny that you think 'it has nothing to do with it'. The Brazilian crypto market is one of the largest in the world and directly depends on the stability of institutions.

The power of Moraes and the discomfort of the elites

Alexandre de Moraes did not emerge from the left. He was elevated to the center of the system.
When interests converged, he became an ally. When he grew too powerful, he became a problem.

What bothers is not ideology.
It's too much power in the wrong — or unpredictable — hands.

In the backstage of Brasília and Faria Lima, the question is not about justice.
It's about who commands, who protects, and who can be contained.

Banks profit like never before.
Concentration increases.
And the public discourse continues to serve as a smokescreen.

In the end, the dispute is not moral.
👉 It's for control.

🧠 Those who understand the game do not fall for the narrative.

gazetadopovo: The opposition announced this Monday (29) an offensive to enable the impeachment of the minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes and to install a Mixed Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPMI) of the Master Bank.
The new opposition leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Cabo Gilberto Silva (PL-PB), stated that the parliamentarians are mobilized to coordinate the two initiatives during the legislative recess.
"Our goal as opposition leadership is to surpass the largest number ever in the history of Brazil, which is more than 150 federal deputies and more than 40 senators of the Republic," said the leader at a press conference this afternoon.
According to the leader, the request has 100 signatures from deputies and 14 from senators. There is no minimum number required to file the complaint against STF ministers. The opposition believes that greater support can pressure the Senate to proceed with the process of removing the minister.
The complaint is based on reports by journalist Malu Gaspar from the newspaper O Globo, which revealed that the minister allegedly made direct interventions with the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo, in favor of Master Bank. Moraes denies any pressure in favor of the financial institution.

#news #AlexandreDeMoraes #corrupcao

INTRODUCTION TO THE MASTER CASE - Bankers and authorities from Brasília reported that Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the STF allegedly sought the Federal Police to obtain information about the investigations into the purchase of Banco Master by BRB, in addition to supposedly pressuring the Central Bank.
The information, disclosed by columnist Mônica Bergamo, indicates that the interest is linked to the fact that the office of the minister's wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes, has a million-dollar contract with the financial institution. The Federal Police's director-general, Andrei Rodrigues, denied having discussed the matter with Moraes, classifying the story as a lie. The STF also issued a statement denying pressure on the president of the BC, Gabriel Galípolo, stating that the conversations were strictly about international sanctions. It is worth remembering that the police operation resulted in the arrest of the president of Master, Daniel Vorcaro, and the liquidation of the bank by the BC in November.
