A new centralized laundering service FreedomXMR (FXMR) appeared on Hyperliquid Core in August 2026. More than 87% of its inflow volume is tied directly to illicit activity.

A manual review of all historical FXMR inflows above $10K traced $20M+ directly to ransomware, exploit, malware, and social engineering incidents, including:
• DCENT Wallet exploit (Sep 2026)
• Fetch[.]ai exploit (Sep 2026)
• Axelar exploit (Sep 2026)
• Unnamed ransomware payment (Sep 2026)
• Gamdom exploit (Oct 2026)

The admin sources XMR liquidity from KuCoin, with 3K+ deposits to KuCoin, and likely uses a swap model similar to Wagyu's.

The FXMR ticker was bought in an HL auction on July 27, 2026 for 518.28 HYPE ($28K).

HL Core has seen several centralized laundering services, such as b1exch, abuse the chain’s permissionless design and adoption.

A spreadsheet with source data has been shared with the HL team.

⚠️ OGU DD: @MORAL CHANGED THE TOS AFTER THE $80K DISPUTE

Link: https://oguser.com/Thread-Moral-80k

He still hasn’t given a clear explanation for the ToS change, a concrete refund timeline, or proof that the alleged freeze was actually ordered by law enforcement.

😎 Fun facts:

1. There’s no LLC or clearly identified legal entity listed in the site’s ToS.
2. The user dealt with @Moral’s service. Whatever liquidity provider sits behind it is not the customer’s counterparty — @Moral’s service is.
3. Saying “regulations forbid me from talking” while acting like some kind of FBI agent is not a serious explanation.

So the question remains:

Did @Moral just discover a new “case under investigation” method to avoid paying users? 😳
