Back when Washington State was coming off blowout losses to North Texas (59-10) and Washington (59-24), Virginia’s game with the Cougars in Week 8 was looking like a cakewalk.
That was before Wazzu took #4 Ole Miss to the brink in a 24-21 loss on Saturday.

Billions were wiped out in hours.

Bitcoin dropped by more than $20,000.

Altcoins? Down 60% to 70%.

This wasn’t random. This was orchestrated. Coordinated.

Market manipulation at the highest level.

That single anonymous wallet walked away with over $200 million in profit — in one day.
