Image
Swan Bitcoin has filed a lawsuit against Proton Management, a bitcoin mining firm made up of former Swan consultants, claiming that these executives “hatched and executed a ‘rain and hellfire’ plan to steal Swan’s” mining business.  Specifically, the suit alleges that several consultants who were a part of Swan’s Bitcoin mining operation allegedly planned to misappropriate Swan’s intellectual property to operate a “copycat company” that was also funded by Tether. The lawsuit includes an email that appears to show a discussion about how best to execute the exit and says, “Tether needs to send default notice.” Screenshot from the lawsuit .

R. Kiyosaki reveals strategies to survive ‘greatest financial crisis in world history’

As he continues to warn about the looming financial catastrophe, the popular investor, entrepreneur, and author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ Robert Kiyosaki, has revealed the best strategies to survive the economic crisis he believes is coming. Specifically, Kiyosaki shared advice from investment banker James Rickards’ new book ‘MoneyGPT,’ including taking the “equivalent of two months expenses in cash and [putting] it in a safe place,” and “saving silver coins rather than saving cash in a bank,” in an X post on September 26. Q: WHY READ? A: TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE! As stated in a previous (X)…long time friend Jim Richards sent me an advanced copy of his soon to be released book Money GPT.

Video: Unpacking Justin Sun’s messy WBTC deal with BitGo

Image
BitGo’s August 9 announcement that it was partnering with Justin Sun and BitGlobal for wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) has stoked controversy across the ecosystem and drawn greater attention to Sun’s other projects. Following the announcement, MakerDAO decided to disable new borrows against WBTC and Coinbase announced its own wrapped bitcoin product, cbBTC — a move that has drawn the ire of Sun. He has accused cbBTC of operating without proof-of-reserves or audits, going as far as to claim that exchanges that haven’t yet completed a proof-of-reserves are “unable to meet the requirements.” Unfortunately for him, Poloniex, an exchange owned by Sun that operates a wrapped bitcoin product far larger than cbBTC , doesn’t have a proof-of-reserves either. HTX, a Sun-advised exchange, relies extensively on this product, making up more than half of the ‘bitcoin’ this exchange holds. Head over to YouTube for the whole story.

Caroline Ellison Sentenced To Two Years In Prison For Role In FTX Collapse

Caroline Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison for her role in the $11 billion collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange that was co-founded by boyfriend Sam Bankman-Fried. The sentence came despite what Judge Lewis Kaplan called her ”remarkable” cooperation with prosecutors in testifying against Bankman-Fried, who was earlier jailed for 25 years after being convicted on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy for his role in the exchange’s collapse. “I’ve seen a lot of cooperators in 30 years here, I’ve never seen one quite like Miss Ellison,” the Judge said. Still, her sentence was necessary because of the scale of the fraud, he added. “For it to be a case this serious, to be a literal get-out-of-jail-free card — I cannot see a way to it,” he said Ellison had faced a maximum sentence of 110 years in prison, but her defense attorneys called for leniency based on her cooperation, saying it was a ”cornerstone” in Bankman-Fried’s conviction. Ellison looked stunned by the sen
