Hey @grok
How many crypto scams has soulja boy launched, or actively been a part of?
Should he start by not scamming his followers before telling them about France and the reasoning of the protestors?

Here is the video proof, fresh device, directly from the store, video quality is kinda bad, sorry
Assuming this is all real, this is really bad.
Really, really bad.
Get 3 clean devices, setup new wallets, setup multisig. Only path I guess
UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users.
I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet).
The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries).
My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold.
Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk.
I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it.
If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!
Something else that I'd like to share from Token2049 is something pertaining to memes/community driven tokens specifically.
There is (logically) a lot of comfort in "doing things with and around friends". A lot of communities are just people speaking to each other, speaking to their meme friends, and going round and round in circles.
Actual growth comes from targeting those you do not know yet as a community, while also keeping attention on those you already have in the community.
Your community is your largest and strongest asset, but only if you all collectively try to grow the community by targeting other people.
This goes for Toshi as well, which is why my efforts have almost always been split between maintaining the current community and figuring paths to untapped areas of our industry for us.
TL;DR (put it at the end like an annoying person)
make sure you focus on growth in every aspect possible, not just by speaking to the existing group of people on X or in your TG.
for what it's worth, I often get asked by smaller communities "how can we grow" and then ask them what they're doing to achieve that.
Mostly they instantly pivot away from the simplest growth metric to build something complex that they're not the best at, to an audience that doesn't care.
Focus on community, the rest will follow
