IMAGE Players could "invest" in virtual livestock, believing their money would be used to finance a massive dairy farm project. Instead, the game operated as a Ponzi scheme, enticing over 350,000 Turkish investors and an additional 150,000 foreigners to part with their money, amounting to more than 1.1 billion Turkish lira (around $131 million). Aydin's Flight and Arrest Despite the scam’s collapse in early 2018, Aydın fled to Uruguay with a significant portion of the stolen funds. His extravagant lifestyle there, including driving a Ferrari, drew the attention of authorities, triggering a manhunt. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="tr" dir="ltr">Çiftlik Bank'ın kurucusu Tosuncuk lakaplı Mehmet Aydın'ın yat keyfi <br><br>132 bin 222 kişiyi 1 milyar 139 milyon 972 bin TL dolandırdı. <a href="https://t.co/QS3igijGXU">pic.twitter.com/QS3igijGXU</a></p>— ENSONHABER (@ensonhaber) <a href="https://twitter.com/ensonhaber/status/1147076367844089857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 5, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> After evading capture for over three years, Aydın eventually turned himself in at the Turkish embassy in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 2021, where he was extradited back to Turkey to face trial. Defiant Claims of Innocence At his sentencing hearing, Aydın firmly rejected the accusations. He insisted, "I did not intend to defraud anyone; I had no intention of committing fraud.” He claimed that his assets, which had been frozen by authorities, prevented him from compensating victims. He suggested that the interest accumulated on the seized funds could be used for restitution. Despite his protests, the court proceeded with the sentence, convicting him of multiple charges, including fraud, money laundering, and establishing a criminal organisation. A Brother's Defence Aydın’s brother, Fatih Aydın, who also faced charges related to the scheme, similarly denied any involvement. In an effort to clear his name, he stated, “I am not a member of any organisation. Most of the defendants do not know me, and I do not know them. I request acquittal.” The Long Legal Battle The trial began in 2019, with prosecutors initially seeking over 75,000 years in prison for Aydın and his brother. Their conviction for fraud through information systems, money laundering, and other serious crimes has brought to a close a dramatic case that shocked many in Turkey and beyond. Aydın's sentence is one of the longest in Turkish history, signalling the seriousness with which the authorities are tackling large-scale financial crimes. Despite his claims of innocence, the massive scale of the fraud and the suffering of victims has led to his lengthy prison sentence. Summarise key factors into 2 short sentences.

Renewed Focus on Indian Market Amid Regulatory Landscape The company is in talks with key Indian authorities, including the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the agency tasked with monitoring financial transactions in the country. According to sources familiar with the matter, the ongoing discussions are pivotal for Coinbase’s potential re-entry. Coinbase has made it clear that it is committed to following local regulations. A company spokesperson shared, “We are excited about the opportunities in India and are committed to complying with local regulations.” Binance Sets Precedent for Foreign Exchanges Coinbase’s potential return follows the footsteps of its competitor, Binance, which resumed operations in India in August 2023 after resolving regulatory hurdles. Binance’s successful re-entry established a significant precedent for other global crypto exchanges aiming to operate in India. The crypto giant had faced similar regulatory concerns before it could obtain the necessary approvals to resume trading in the country. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: 🇮🇳 Binance is officially registered with India's Financial Intelligence Unit. <a href="https://t.co/iIaiiiFA0Y">pic.twitter.com/iIaiiiFA0Y</a></p>— Kashif Raza (@simplykashif) <a href="https://twitter.com/simplykashif/status/1788883231867093295?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 10, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Challenges in Coinbase’s Previous Attempt Coinbase initially launched its services in India in April 2022, only to face immediate setbacks. The exchange introduced support for India’s widely used United Payments Interface (UPI) system, but the service was halted within just three days. India’s National Payments Corporation refused to acknowledge Coinbase’s operations, prompting a swift suspension. The company later disclosed that informal pressure from the Reserve Bank of India had contributed to this abrupt stop. Despite cryptocurrency trading not being illegal in India, many financial institutions refuse to engage with virtual asset firms due to the central bank's stance. Policy Adjustments and Regulatory Uncertainty While India has imposed a 30% tax on crypto income and a 1% tax on each transaction, the future of crypto in the country remains uncertain. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🇮🇳 India is revisiting its crypto policy amid global shifts - DEA Secretary Ajay Seth <br><br>30% tax on crypto gains & 1% TDS still in place. <a href="https://t.co/OVfECF7iOL">pic.twitter.com/OVfECF7iOL</a></p>— Ajay Kashyap (@EverythingAjay) <a href="https://twitter.com/EverythingAjay/status/1887030107652374622?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The government’s tax policies have made the market less attractive for investors, despite the growing adoption of digital assets. In light of global policy shifts, India may yet adopt a more lenient approach to crypto regulation. If Coinbase successfully navigates these regulatory hurdles, its return could offer more choices for Indian traders, potentially fostering greater adoption of cryptocurrencies. Strengthening Ties with India’s Financial Sector Coinbase’s interest in India also reflects a wider trend in U.S.-India relations, particularly in the financial sector. Recently, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, joined the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) board, signalling a stronger partnership between the two nations. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The U.S.-India Business Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Grewal (<a href="https://twitter.com/iampaulgrewal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iampaulgrewal</a>), Chief Legal Officer, <a href="https://twitter.com/coinbase?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coinbase</a>, to the USIBC Global Board of Directors. <br><br>Welcoming the new member, USIBC President Ambassador <a href="https://twitter.com/USAmbKeshap?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@USAmbKeshap</a> said, "Paul Grewal’s leadership in… <a href="https://t.co/UPxxptlQ4K">pic.twitter.com/UPxxptlQ4K</a></p>— U.S.-India Business Council (@USIBC) <a href="https://twitter.com/USIBC/status/1889673069205311683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Grewal emphasised the importance of India’s growing web3 ecosystem, noting, “India has one of the largest and fastest-growing web3 ecosystems in the world, with a booming developer community, pioneering startups, and bold institutional adoption.” Competitive Market Landscape in India India’s crypto market has become more competitive in recent years, particularly with the exit of WazirX, once a leading local exchange, following a significant loss of funds. As a result, CoinSwitch and CoinDCX have emerged as the dominant players in the Indian market, with both platforms receiving backing from Coinbase. If Coinbase can clear the necessary regulatory requirements, it could capitalise on this gap in the market, offering Indian traders an additional trusted platform. Despite the regulatory uncertainties, big exchanges like Coinbase and Binance are still showing interest in India’s crypto market, hinting at its strong potential for both local and global investors. Summarise key factors into 2 short sentences. Simple words and clear. Focus on what happened. ChatGPT said: Coinbase is trying to restart its crypto operations in India after stopping them in 2023 due to regulatory issues. It is working with Indian authorities to meet compliance rules, following Binance’s successful return to the market.

You said: South Korea Set to Allow Institutions to Sell Crypto Assets in 2025 South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced plans to relax regulations on the sale of cryptocurrencies, allowing institutions such as charities, universities, and crypto exchanges to liquidate their digital assets in 2025. This development comes after a growing demand from the institutional sector for increased involvement in the crypto market, signalling a shift in the country’s approach to digital asset trading. Crypto Donations: New Opportunities for Charities and Universities As part of the new framework, the FSC will enable charitable organisations and universities to sell the cryptocurrency donations they have received. This move is expected to be implemented in the second quarter of 2025, opening the door for these institutions to convert their digital assets into cash. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUST IN 🚨<br><br>South Korea to reportedly allow charities, universities, and exchanges to sell donated crypto in Q2 2025, with broader institutional access planned later this year.🇰🇷💰</p>— Moby Media (@mobymedia) <a href="https://twitter.com/mobymedia/status/1889943378898620866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The policy aims to streamline processes for entities holding crypto assets, addressing concerns about their use for funding purposes. The FSC's decision is seen as a response to the increasing interest in corporate participation within the crypto space. The regulator has acknowledged that these moves are in line with broader global trends where major markets are easing restrictions on institutional crypto trading. Crypto Exchanges to Sell Assets for Operational Costs In addition to institutional investors, South Korean crypto exchanges will also be permitted to sell their crypto holdings. These holdings, which are typically collected as transaction fees, will now be available for sale, allowing exchanges to cover essential operating costs like payroll and taxes. However, the FSC has noted potential risks of conflicts of interest, which may arise from mass sales of crypto assets by exchanges. To mitigate these concerns, the sale process will be gradually implemented, and a common set of guidelines will be established among operators. Pilot Programs for Corporate Accounts and Investment The FSC's decision to allow institutions to engage in crypto transactions marks a significant policy shift. The first step will involve a pilot program, which will begin in the first half of 2025. This initiative will allow around 3,500 listed companies and registered professional investors to open "real-name" accounts for crypto trading. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🇰🇷 BREAKING: South Korea plans to allow institutional crypto trading by gradually issuing real-name accounts to corporations, starting with non-profits. <a href="https://t.co/V2J6q5a98b">pic.twitter.com/V2J6q5a98b</a></p>— Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) <a href="https://twitter.com/Cointelegraph/status/1876955109290041651?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The pilot is part of the regulator’s plan to assess the market and introduce real-time investment opportunities for institutional investors. A Shift Toward Institutional Crypto Trading The FSC's announcement reflects an evolving stance on virtual assets in South Korea. The country has historically maintained strict regulations on institutional crypto activity, especially since 2017, to prevent speculation and address concerns related to money laundering. However, with the growing demand for blockchain-based services and crypto adoption, the regulator is gradually lifting these restrictions to better align with global trends. Regulations and Future Development Looking ahead, South Korea's crypto regulatory framework, which went into effect in July 2024, is set for expansion. The FSC has already initiated discussions to create a follow-up regulation to address emerging issues in the market. These changes aim to ensure that the country’s crypto market remains secure and resilient, with a focus on protecting investors while encouraging innovation. South Korea’s role as one of the largest crypto markets in the world continues to grow. Upbit, a prominent South Korean exchange, ranks as the fourth-largest centralised exchange by monthly volume globally, reinforcing the country’s strong position in the crypto industry. A Global Shift Towards Crypto Adoption The FSC's recent actions show how cryptocurrency regulations are shifting, not only in South Korea but globally as well.

The announcement came via his social media platform, X, where he called it the “smartest AI on Earth.” The launch will be accompanied by a live demonstration at 12:00 PM UTC+8 on 18 February 2025. Musk stated that he would be offline until the launch, as he and his team are working on refining the product.

This approach is expected to enhance its ability to reason and minimise errors. The development of Grok 3 was accelerated by xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, which became operational eight months ago. Equipped with 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, it provided 200 million GPU hours for training—ten times more than its predecessor, Grok 2. This significant increase in computing power has enabled the model to process vast datasets faster and more efficiently. xAI has also refined its training methodology by integrating synthetic datasets, reinforcement learning, and self-improvement techniques. These advancements aim to improve the chatbot’s performance and reliability. Musk's Vision for Grok 3 Shared in Dubai During the World Government Summit in Dubai earlier this week, Musk expressed high expectations for Grok 3.

This deceptive scheme, known as the "share-seed-phrase" scam, has been quickly catching users off guard, taking advantage of their trust and panic. Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, has issued a warning about this growing threat. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A new scam is on the rise.

Fraudsters, posing as security experts, convince victims that their wallets have been compromised. In a rush to protect their funds, the targeted users are instructed to transfer their entire holdings to a new wallet for safekeeping. Unbeknownst to them, these wallets are controlled by the scammers, and the funds quickly vanish, leaving victims with nothing. The success of this scam hinges on two key factors: confusion and urgency. Scammers prey on these emotions, pushing users into a state of panic where logical thinking is often clouded. By the time the victims realise they’ve been deceived, their assets are long gone. Richard Teng Warns of Growing Threat Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, has raised concerns over the rising frequency of this scam. He stresses the importance of awareness and skepticism when dealing with any unexpected alerts regarding digital wallets. In a Binance's blog post that he shared, it mentions that the exchange will “never generate a seed phrase for you, ask for access to your private keys, or send you a seed phrase via SMS or email.” This has been a repeated warning and reminder to all crypto users to never respond to unsolicited requests for private information, whether on platforms like Binance or any other exchange or service. A Red Flag: Urgency and Unverified Sources Fraudsters are experts at creating a false sense of urgency. They use high-pressure tactics, claiming that immediate action is needed to prevent financial loss. Such demands should always be treated as a red flag. It is crucial for crypto users to have a moment of doubt and take the time to verify through official channels. This can make all the difference between securing your funds and losing them entirely. Transfers based on instructions from unverified sources should always be avoided. How to Protect Yourself: Stop and Verify The most effective way to protect oneself from this scam is simple: verify. If you ever receive an alert that seems suspicious, reach out to customer support through official channels to confirm its legitimacy. Protecting your digital assets requires more than just knowledge of security protocols. It also involves the ability to step back, question the situation, and avoid hasty decisions that could lead to significant losses. Summarise key factors into 2 short sentences.

The AI startup has already attracted a team of around 30 highly skilled researchers and engineers from leading companies such as OpenAI, Meta, and Mistral. The company aims to make artificial intelligence systems more adaptable, ethical, and accessible across a wide range of industries. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Albanian-American Mira Murati, former CTO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, has announced her new AI startup called Thinking Machines Lab.<br><br>The startup has recruited about 30 leading researchers and engineers from competitors such as OpenAI, Meta and Mistral. <a href="https://t.co/8RBuqoWFdD">pic.twitter.com/8RBuqoWFdD</a></p>— Admirim (@admirim) <a href="https://twitter.com/admirim/status/1891947855398437268?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Talent from Competitors Strengthens the Startup’s Core Team Murati’s new company has quickly established itself with a strong team, largely composed of former OpenAI employees. Among the most notable additions are Barret Zoph, a prominent AI researcher, who has taken on the role of Chief Technology Officer. Zoph departed OpenAI on the same day as Murati in late September. The company has also attracted OpenAI co-founder John Schulman, who serves as the Chief Scientist at Thinking Machines Lab. Schulman left OpenAI earlier in the year to focus on AI alignment, a principle that will play a crucial role in the startup's development. In a statement to Reuters, sources confirmed that more former OpenAI employees are expected to join the company in the coming months. Thinking Machines Lab is currently in talks to secure venture capital funding, according to those close to the matter. AI Alignment Takes Center Stage in New Startup’s Mission One of the key focuses of Thinking Machines Lab is AI alignment—the process of embedding human values and ethical principles into AI systems. This concept of alignment is gaining increasing importance in the AI community, as developers seek to ensure that AI systems act in ways that are beneficial and safe for humans. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Today, we are excited to announce Thinking Machines Lab (<a href="https://t.co/gD5QlPMfWw">https://t.co/gD5QlPMfWw</a>), an artificial intelligence research and product company.

In an announcement, the company said, "While current systems excel at programming and mathematics, we’re building AI that can adapt to the full spectrum of human expertise and enable a broader spectrum of applications." Open Science as a Core Pillar of the Startup’s Approach Thinking Machines Lab has stated that it will also focus on fostering an open science approach. The company plans to share research publications, code, datasets, and model specifications with the broader AI community to help advance the field. This commitment to transparency sets Thinking Machines Lab apart from other competitors in the space.

Setting up a wallet, remembering complex seed phrases, and securing private keys can put people off. Google’s upcoming collaboration with Bitcoin network contributors is poised to simplify this process. By leveraging Google’s existing authentication protocols, users could manage their Bitcoin assets as easily as logging into their email accounts. Kyle Song, Google’s Web3 specialist for the Asia Pacific region, shared the vision during a panel at the Bitcoin Tech Carnival in Hong Kong on 18 February 2025. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Google is officially making moves in the Bitcoin space<br><br>At the Bitcoin Tech Carnival, Google's Web3 Specialist Kyle Song confirmed that Google has been collaborating with the Bitcoin ecosystem since last year<br><br>The goal? <br>Lowering entry barriers and improving BTC wallets to match… <a href="https://t.co/mqg6EYFQtB">pic.twitter.com/mqg6EYFQtB</a></p>— Mr. Photon (@0xMr_Photon) <a href="https://twitter.com/0xMr_Photon/status/1891910605130563720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> According to Song, the goal is to reduce barriers to Bitcoin by connecting traditional digital identities with the decentralised world of cryptocurrency. The aim is to make Bitcoin transactions as simple as regular online payments. Exploring Blockchain Integration with Web2 Technology Google's ambitious plan seeks to merge the convenience of Web2 payment systems with the decentralised world of blockchain technology. The company is working on a method that would allow users to log into Bitcoin wallets using their Google accounts. This move could attract millions of users who are hesitant to enter the crypto world due to its complexity. In addition to simplifying logins, Google is also exploring advanced encryption methods, such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), to enhance trust between on-chain and off-chain systems. To ensure seamless and trustworthy integration of these technologies, Song emphasised the critical need to address trust and security concerns. Security Concerns Over Centralisation Risks While Google’s initiative has garnered attention, it has also raised concerns within the crypto community. Critics argue that linking Google accounts with Bitcoin wallets could expose users to risks of centralisation and data breaches. The idea of a compromised Google account potentially leading to the exposure of sensitive financial information is a major worry. Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo shared the news on social media, receiving mixed reactions. Meanwhile, hardware wallet provider Trezor advised users to consider offline storage if they are concerned about linking their Google accounts to Bitcoin. One critic called the integration "a huge security risk," suggesting that it could undermine Bitcoin's decentralised ethos. Mainstream Adoption or Compromise of Privacy? Despite the concerns, there are those in the crypto community who see Google’s involvement as a game changer for Bitcoin adoption. The hope is that by simplifying the process and integrating with familiar login systems, more people will feel comfortable using Bitcoin. As one supporter put it, this is a "huge step" for the industry, one that could remove the complexity that has held many potential users back. However, the debate over privacy and centralisation is far from over. Some see the move as a sign that the world of cryptocurrency is becoming more accessible, while others fear it might lead to further control by large tech companies. Google Faces Growing Scrutiny Over Data Security In light of recent security issues, Google’s move to integrate Bitcoin wallets with its authentication systems has sparked renewed concern about data privacy. Earlier this month, a malicious software kit was discovered on the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, which scanned user images to extract cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases.

Tan explained in his Linkedin post, “If a scammer contacts you, or you see an ad for a scam, give them SOHAI’s phone number. SOHAI will pretend to be Madam Soh - she will infinitely waste their time by giving excuses, digress, and act blur. If the scammer doesn't reply, SOHAI will follow up with the scammer to annoy them back.” Source: Dylan Tan’s Linkedin Unlike a typical chatbot, SOHAI does not reply instantly every time. Instead, it responds at random intervals—sometimes within seconds, other times hours or even a full day later—keeping scammers engaged for as long as possible. Chatbot’s Interactions Logged on a Leaderboard Each conversation is logged in a Google Sheets leaderboard, summarising the time wasted and the tactics used. This allows users to see how long SOHAI managed to keep scammers occupied. Tan shared screenshots of some of the chatbot’s conversations in multiple languages, including English, Malay, and Mandarin, demonstrating its ability to engage a wide range of scammers. Source: Facebook group Source: Facebook group He wrote, “Every minute of scammer time wasted is one less minute of them scamming someone else. Enjoy!” Scammers Strike Back by Blocking the Bot The chatbot initially operated using a single phone number, which was shared publicly for victims to pass on to scammers. However, Tan later updated that the number had been blocked, likely after scammers caught on. Despite this, he assured that a new number would be introduced soon. Tan also mentioned that SOHAI could be replicated using multiple accounts, ensuring that scammers remain occupied even if they recognise and block one number. Mixed Reactions From Users The AI bot has been met with enthusiastic responses from social media users, many of whom were eager to test it against known scammers. Some joked about using the chatbot to handle personal conversations, while others expressed concerns that scammers might adapt and create their own AI to counter it. One commenter suggested creating an AI for married men to handle their wife’s messages. Source: Linkedin Another claimed he is ready to use it on an alleged scammer from Nigeria. While some are uncertain about how long SOHAI will stay effective, Tan believes that by constantly tweaking the system and making improvements, the tool will continue to outsmart scammers for a long time.

ChatGPT said: A Malaysian entrepreneur developed an AI chatbot, SOHAI, to waste scammers' time by engaging them in irrelevant conversations.

As part of this expansion, OKX has introduced free euro deposits and withdrawals via bank transfers, as well as local payment methods and currency options, enhancing its appeal across different European countries.

The platform also offers zero-fee transactions for euro deposits and withdrawals, positioning itself as an attractive option for traders looking to minimize their costs. MiCA License Simplifies Regulatory Compliance Across Europe One of the standout advantages of the MiCA license is its passporting rights, allowing OKX to operate seamlessly across the EU under a single regulatory framework. This eliminates the need for the exchange to obtain separate licenses for each individual market. The MiCA regulation, which takes full effect in mid-2025, is designed to standardise crypto regulations across the EU, ensuring greater investor protection and financial stability in the sector. OKX’s MiCA approval comes after a year-long process that included policy updates, team restructuring, and product adjustments to meet the necessary regulatory standards. This effort highlights OKX’s commitment to compliance and trust-building within the European market. A Strategic Move to Solidify European Presence OKX’s expansion in Europe is part of a broader strategy to strengthen its global position. In 2024, the exchange launched in seven new markets and obtained four additional licenses. With the MiCA license in hand, OKX is now well-equipped to scale its operations further, providing regulated trading services to millions of users across Europe. In an official statement, OKX emphasised the significance of MiCA passporting in enhancing its growth trajectory, stating, “Now, with MiCA passporting, we’re able to scale even further, ensuring that users across Europe can trade with confidence on a regulated platform.” Building Trust and Transparency in European Crypto Market MiCA regulations aim to standardise rules for cryptocurrency businesses, enhancing transparency and protecting investors. By meeting the strict regulatory criteria, OKX has established itself as a reliable exchange for European crypto traders. This helps boost trust among users and enhances its standing in the competitive crypto market. With its MiCA license now secured, OKX plans to continue expanding its presence across Europe by further engaging with its user base through “exclusive reward opportunities, partnership prizes, and local community meet-ups in the future.” Summarise key factors into 2 short sentences.

You said: Bybit CEO Stands Firm Against Pi Network Amid Fraud Concerns Bybit CEO Ben Zhou has doubled down on his opposition to Pi Network, calling it a scam and reinforcing his exchange’s refusal to list the token. The controversy surrounding Pi has intensified following its long-awaited mainnet launch, which saw a record-breaking $12.6 billion in airdropped tokens but also a sharp decline in price. Pi Network Faces Allegations of Fraud in China Concerns over Pi Network’s legitimacy resurfaced when Zhou shared a 2023 warning from Chinese law enforcement, describing the project as a pyramid scheme. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">1. Here is a official police warning of <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24Pi&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$Pi</a> from Chinese police back in 2023 warning to the public that it’s a scam targeted towards elderly folks <a href="https://t.co/LaGJqXSOXR">https://t.co/LaGJqXSOXR</a> which leaks their personal data and loss of their pension.

In the warning, it states, “Many criminals use "π Coin" to claim that they can mine for free by simply downloading an APP on their mobile phones. They also give lectures to the elderly, expand the victim group by claiming that they can "recommend rebates" by developing downlines, resell user personal information, and defraud the elderly of their pensions.” The strong wording from authorities highlights the deep skepticism surrounding Pi Network, which has struggled with trust issues despite its growing community. Bybit Rejects Pi Listing as Debate Heats Up Zhou’s renewed criticism of Pi came after Pi enthusiasts mocked him online, accusing him of being biased against the project. He dismissed these claims and reiterated that Bybit had no intention of listing Pi Network, stating his firm belief that it is fraudulent. An anonymous claim suggested that Bybit’s refusal stemmed from being rejected by Pi developers. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">⭕<a href="https://twitter.com/Bybit_Official?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Bybit_Official</a> is gradually losing its position in the cryptocurrency market, when CEO <a href="https://twitter.com/benbybit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@benbybit</a> posted a bad post about Pi Network after being rejected by <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PI&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$PI</a> to list on this exchange 👀<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PiNetwork?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PiNetwork</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PI?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PI</a> <a href="https://t.co/ihWm6OWPds">pic.twitter.com/ihWm6OWPds</a></p>— SusDrones.pi (@SusDrones) <a href="https://twitter.com/SusDrones/status/1892047128374980925?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 19, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Zhou swiftly refuted this, calling it “complete nonsense” and clarifying that Bybit never sought a listing. Bybit’s firm stance aligns with concerns that listing Pi Network could have wider implications, particularly in China. Authorities there have long maintained a cautious stance on crypto, and a major scandal involving Pi could potentially set back any progress in regulatory openness. Binance and OKX Face Backlash Over Pi Listing Considerations Bybit is not the only exchange caught in the Pi Network debate. When OKX hinted at listing the token, some users warned that it could provoke backlash from Chinese regulators. Binance also found itself at the centre of the controversy when it launched a community vote on whether to list Pi. IMAGE While the majority voted in favour, the decision remains contentious. Critics argue that listing Pi could expose users to potential risks, given the allegations of fraudulent activity. Pi Network’s Price Crashes After Launch Despite its historic airdrop, Pi’s market debut was marked by turbulence. The token initially surged to $1.99, reflecting a 36% increase, but quickly plummeted by 55% to $0.9123 within hours. The rapid decline fueled concerns over the project’s stability and long-term viability. Amid the price drop, frustrated users reported issues with Pi Network’s support team. One user claimed they accidentally sent their tokens to the wrong wallet address and received no assistance despite multiple attempts to contact the team. This lack of response has only added to the doubts surrounding Pi’s operational transparency. Critics and Supporters Remain Divided The divide over Pi Network continues to widen. While some investors remain hopeful, others share Zhou’s concerns over potential fraud. One supporter praised Bybit’s refusal to list Pi, arguing that exchanges must conduct thorough due diligence before approving tokens. For now, Pi Network remains a highly polarising project. Despite its record-breaking airdrop, questions over its legitimacy persist, and major exchanges like Bybit are unwilling to take the risk. Summarise key factors into 2 short sentences.

Mingo, who joined the collection in 2021 through gig platform Upwork, had been pivotal in the creation of the collection's 8,888 NFT profile pictures, which became a huge success. But as Pudgy Penguins evolved, so did the tensions between him and the project's management. From Web2 to Web3: Mingo's Rise to Fame Initially working in the Web2 world, Mingo’s artistic journey took a sharp turn when he was hired for the Pudgy Penguins gig. The collection, created under founder Cole Thereum, skyrocketed in popularity as the NFT market boomed. Although Mingo was new to Web3, his art quickly gained recognition, bringing in a flood of work from other projects. He stayed on as a core artist for Pudgy Penguins even after Thereum's controversial exit in 2022, when he emptied the project’s treasury and was replaced by Luca Netz. However, it was clear that the artist’s vision was beginning to diverge from the direction the project was headed. Disagreements Over Creative Vision Sparked Departure Mingo began to feel that his style was no longer aligning with the evolving direction of Pudgy Penguins. Mingo shared, “[My style] just wasn’t clicking with them. Even the simple things, like the flippers. Just little creative differences like that.” He had pitched a more unique, dynamic vision for the brand, inspired by the animated series “The Amazing World of Gumball”, where 2D and 3D elements are blended. However, this vision was not embraced by the new leadership. "I think you could see it in the art," he added, noting that if one were to compare his designs to those of the current team, it would be clear where the differences lay, though not drastically so. Pudgy Penguins’ design in the past (left) vs current (right) The lack of creative freedom at Pudgy Penguins became a key factor in Mingo’s departure, leading him to seek out opportunities where he could take the reins of the creative direction. Embracing Creative Freedom at Burrrs Now at the helm of a new NFT project, Burrrs, Mingo is relishing the opportunity to bring his artistic vision to life. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hi Im Burrrs and youre printing on Berachain <a href="https://t.co/7RiOkFwlTc">pic.twitter.com/7RiOkFwlTc</a></p>— Burrrs (@Burrrsprint) <a href="https://twitter.com/Burrrsprint/status/1891951273202831671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The project, which will launch on Magic Eden for 4.2 BERA each ($34), promises to allow Mingo the flexibility he craved during his time with Pudgy Penguins. As a founding member and creative lead, he feels empowered to take on a much more direct role, ensuring that his ideas are given room to evolve. Mingo noted on the the importance of adaptability and engagement with the community, stating, "Honestly, I’m excited to see the reaction we get. We’re gonna change and roll with however the people like it.” Lessons from Pudgy Penguins Success Despite his reservations about the early days of Pudgy Penguins, Mingo credits much of the collection’s success to the ability to embrace imperfection and evolve. Mingo explained, "Things don't have to be picture-perfect. You can create a story and just kind of roll with the punches." The collection, like a chameleon, adapted and changed over time, ultimately thriving amid a turbulent market. Mingo acknowledged that while he once doubted the project's potential, the lessons learned from Pudgy Penguins have been invaluable in shaping his approach to creative freedom and collaboration. A Fresh Start and New Challenges Ahead Mingo’s departure from Pudgy Penguins marks a new chapter in his career. Though he maintains positive relations with the project’s leadership, he is no longer directly involved. As Burrrs takes shape, the artist is eager to continue his journey within the rapidly evolving world of Web3, where creative expression and adaptability are key to success. With complete control over the artistic direction, Mingo is now ready to create something that truly reflects his vision, aiming to make a lasting mark on the NFT space once again.

Unlike its predecessor, the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit, which was largely focused on crypto-related fraud, CETU will direct its efforts towards broader cyber crimes, such as hacking and account takeovers. Although the unit will still handle issues related to Web3 technologies, its focus on crypto crimes will not be its central concern. Speaking about the role of the new unit, Acting Chair Uyeda explained, "This new unit will complement the work of the Crypto Task Force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce. The unit will not only protect investors but will also facilitate capital formation and market efficiency by clearing the way for innovation to grow. It will root out those seeking to misuse innovation to harm investors and diminish confidence in new technologies." Smaller Team, Broader Focus: A New Direction for Enforcement CETU will be led by Laura D’Allaird, who takes on the role of head of the unit, alongside a team of around 30 legal and fraud experts. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Laura D’Allaird<br><br>The head of the new cyber and emerging technologies unit by the SEC.<br><br>If she's doing the arresting herself, I don't mind committing a few crimes. <a href="https://t.co/BJ2MCdzgvx">pic.twitter.com/BJ2MCdzgvx</a></p>— DegenCapitalLLC (@DegenCapitalLLC) <a href="https://twitter.com/DegenCapitalLLC/status/1892604781249868270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 20, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> This is a significant reduction in staffing compared to the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit, which had grown to about 50 members during Gary Gensler’s tenure. While the previous unit concentrated on crypto-related crimes, the new team’s mandate is to address a wider range of cyber misconduct across various technologies. Shift in SEC’s Enforcement Strategy Under New Leadership The changes mark a clear departure from the SEC's previous focus under Gary Gensler, who was known for his tough stance on digital asset regulation. During his time as SEC Chairman, the Commission regularly highlighted its enforcement actions against fraudulent crypto offerings. However, under the current leadership, the SEC appears to be scaling back its crypto enforcement efforts, a reflection of President Trump’s past remarks about curbing the federal government's stance on the cryptocurrency sector. Hester Peirce, who has advocated for less aggressive regulatory actions, further explained the SEC's evolving position, stating that the agency is looking to delegate some responsibility and limit its outreach in certain sectors. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce states investors should NOT expect government intervention if crypto tokens dump<br><br>"If people want to buy a token or product that lacks a clear long-term value proposition, they should feel free"<br><br>"[Don't be] surprised if someday the… <a href="https://t.co/Qt9u0IRPbX">pic.twitter.com/Qt9u0IRPbX</a></p>— BlockNews (@blocknewsdotcom) <a href="https://twitter.com/blocknewsdotcom/status/1886880250849845576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 4, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> While enforcement against crypto crimes will not be abandoned, it will not dominate the SEC’s priorities. Crypto Task Force Remains a Key Component of the SEC’s Approach Although CETU's primary focus is not crypto crime, it will work in tandem with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force. Formed earlier in 2025, the Crypto Task Force is part of the SEC’s ongoing efforts to develop a clearer regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry. It is part of what the agency is calling “Crypto 2.0,” a new initiative aimed at refining how digital assets are regulated and ensuring that the industry operates with greater clarity and accountability.

He was introduced to the scheme through the UVKXE app, which appeared legitimate after a simple Google search, leading him to believe it was a genuine opportunity. The victim, a director of a construction company, was ultimately deceived by the scam. How the Scam Began The man was added to a WhatsApp group after initially finding the investment opportunity online. A self-proclaimed expert, identifying himself as Professor Stanley Lim, began providing him with guidance on how to invest. Following the instructions, the Datuk made multiple transactions to bank accounts linked to various companies. He was completely unaware that the transactions were leading him down a path to financial ruin. The Startling Discovery of Fraud The investor's alarm bells only rang when he tried to withdraw an impressive amount of USDT—269,247,546.68, which is roughly RM1.2 billion. Upon trying to access the funds from his mobile investment app, he realised that something was wrong. His attempts to withdraw were unsuccessful, leading him to check the legitimacy of the platform. It was at this point that he discovered he had been scammed. Police Findings Reveal Widespread Fraud Police investigations later uncovered a deeper network of deception tied to the scam. Five of the bank accounts involved in the Datuk’s case were connected to at least 38 other fraud cases. This added to the gravity of the situation, as more victims were identified within the same scheme.

The latest version of Anthropic’s Claude, known as Claude 3.7 Sonnet, is playing “Pokémon Red”, and not just pressing random buttons. It’s actively strategising, making decisions, and adapting to challenges in real-time. Anthropic’s AI model, streaming live on Twitch under the channel “ClaudePlaysPokemon,” has already defeated three Gym Leaders, a feat that previous Claude models struggled to achieve. This experiment showcases how AI is advancing beyond simple task execution and into more complex problem-solving scenarios.

Rather than relying on pre-trained behaviours, Claude 3.7 Sonnet processes each situation, plans ahead, and adjusts when necessary—though it’s not without its struggles. At one point, Claude became stuck in front of a rock wall, continuously attempting to move through it. It took time before the AI recognised an alternative route. A user on Twitch gave a humorous take on the situation, “Who would win, a computer AI with thousands of hours put into programming it, or 1 rock wall?” Eventually, Claude figured out a way around the obstacle, demonstrating its capacity to learn from mistakes rather than simply repeating failed actions indefinitely. AI Playing Video Games Is Becoming a Research Benchmark AI models playing video games isn’t a new concept, but it remains a valuable way to test their reasoning abilities. In March 2024, researchers used OpenAI’s ChatGPT to play the classic first-person shooter "Doom", successfully navigating to the final room of the game. Around the same time, Google DeepMind introduced its Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent (SIMA), capable of playing games like “No Man’s Sky”, "Teardown", and "Valheim" using only on-screen images and natural-language instructions—no access to source code or special APIs required.

One particularly amusing moment occurred when Claude, while searching for Professor Oak, repeatedly interacted with the wrong NPC despite having spoken to them several times before. Some viewers grew impatient, while others were more understanding: “Guys chill. Before we exited and entered Oak’s lab like 10 times before understanding how to move on.” This isn’t the first time AI has been used for such an attempt. Back in October 2023, Seattle software engineer Peter Whidden shared a YouTube video showing how he taught a reinforcement learning AI to play Pokémon. The AI spent more than 50,000 hours figuring out the game, but along the way, it got a little distracted—sometimes stopping just to admire the pixelated scenery instead of actually playing. Even though Claude 3.7 Sonnet takes a slow and steady approach, its progress in "Pokémon Red" offers a glimpse into the future of AI. It shows how models might evolve to tackle new challenges by thinking through problems one step at a time, rather than just being trained for specific tasks.

The investment firm is pushing the gaming retailer to transform its strategy by using its substantial cash reserves to acquire Bitcoin, positioning itself as a pioneer in the digital asset space. Strive Suggests GameStop Buy Bitcoin and Shift Focus Strive Asset Management CEO Matt Cole wrote a letter to GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen on 24 February 2025, advising the company to use its $4.6 billion in cash to purchase Bitcoin. IMAGE Cole suggests that GameStop should further increase its holdings through new market offerings. The goal, according to Strive, is to turn GameStop into a major player in the Bitcoin space, especially within the gaming sector. The proposal aligns with growing trends of Bitcoin adoption in both corporate and financial sectors. Strive Sees Bitcoin as the Solution for GameStop’s Future Strive’s recommendation is grounded in the belief that Bitcoin can offer GameStop a strategic advantage in a world of growing inflation. Strive stated in its letter, "Among digital assets, Bitcoin has uniquely established itself as 'sound money' and 'digital gold.'" The firm argues that holding Bitcoin rather than traditional cash would safeguard GameStop’s financial position, protecting it from inflationary pressures and making it a more appealing entity to investors. Strive advised GameStop to steer clear of other cryptocurrencies, claiming Bitcoin is the only “true store of value” in the digital asset space. By sticking exclusively to Bitcoin, GameStop would solidify its reputation as a disciplined, forward-looking organization and attract institutional investors, according to Strive. Bitcoin Holdings Could Shift GameStop’s Image from Meme Stock to Market Leader John Haar, the managing director of Swan Bitcoin, a BTC-only exchange, weighed in on the idea, calling it a move that could "bake the noodles of so many TradFi investors and commentators who think both GME and Bitcoin are a joke." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">If GameStop embarks on the LBE (Leveraged Bitcoin Equity) strategy... <br><br>It will bake the noodles of so many TradFi investors and commentators who think both <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GME?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GME</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> are a joke 😂😂 <a href="https://t.co/kQniYEWIeE">pic.twitter.com/kQniYEWIeE</a></p>— John Haar (@john_at_swan) <a href="https://twitter.com/john_at_swan/status/1894504215793242224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> His remarks highlight the potential shockwaves such a move would send through traditional financial markets, where both GameStop and Bitcoin have often been regarded with skepticism. The suggestion aligns with Strive’s broader goal of positioning GameStop as a forward-thinking, innovative company capable of capitalizing on emerging financial trends. Strive argues that this Bitcoin-focused strategy would not only reshape GameStop's corporate identity but also make the company more resilient to market uncertainties. Cohen Responds to Proposal but Remains Silent on Next Steps GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen confirmed he received the letter from Strive, posting a simple message on X, “Letter received.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Letter received.</p>— Ryan Cohen (@ryancohen) <a href="https://twitter.com/ryancohen/status/1894458869364981938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Despite this acknowledgment, GameStop has not provided a formal response or indicated whether it plans to pursue the recommendation.

GameStop Considers a Shift Towards Alternative Assets Strive’s proposal follows recent reports indicating that GameStop has been exploring alternative assets, including Bitcoin, as part of its strategy. In early February 2025, GameStop’s stock saw a significant boost, rising by 20% following news of these explorations. Investors are clearly intrigued by the possibility of GameStop diversifying its portfolio, with Bitcoin seen as a potential stabiliser in a volatile market.

Angus O’Callaghan, Head of Trading and Markets at XDC Network, speculated in an interview with TheStreet Crypto that this investment could be an early sign of Apple’s entry into the digital asset market. He pointed out that the company already has the user base and technical capabilities necessary to navigate the world of digital assets. O'Callaghan said, "This level of investment could be the precursor to Apple’s entry into the digital asset space." Despite this speculation, Apple has not disclosed any plans or provided any indication of integrating crypto into its business operations. O’Callaghan, however, added that Apple’s technical strength in combination with its user reach could make its entry into the crypto space a smooth transition. Tim Cook's Position on Cryptocurrency Remains Unchanged Apple CEO Tim Cook has maintained a clear stance on cryptocurrency, stating in 2021 that while he privately owns crypto, it is not something Apple intends to pursue as part of its corporate strategy. During the 2021 DealBook Online Summit, Cook said, "I think it’s reasonable to own [cryptocurrency] as part of a diversified portfolio.” He further clarified, "I don’t think people buy Apple stock to get exposure to crypto."

Critics have suggested that Apple’s focus on investing domestically is part of a broader strategy to meet political and economic demands that prioritise domestic growth and innovation over international expansion. This focus on U.S.-based operations comes as tech companies face increasing pressure to promote American development and reduce reliance on overseas markets.

Source: Linkedin Scammer Lures Victim into Creating Fake SafePal Wallet Believing the message to be legitimate, Zhou immediately called the number that had sent the SMS. The person who answered, speaking with a distinct British accent, instructed Zhou to set up a SafePal wallet. The scammer claimed that SafePal had partnered with Binance, and even sent an article purportedly from Binance to support the claim. Convincing as it seemed, the scammer asked Zhou to transfer all his Binance assets to the new wallet for safekeeping. Zhou, trusting the information, began the process of transferring his funds. However, he started to feel uneasy about the situation. Zhou recalled, "I followed the instructions to set up a wallet and started withdrawing my funds out of my Binance account. But I already sensed something was wrong." This hesitation prompted him to reach out to a friend who worked at Binance for advice. Binance Insider Warns Victim of Ongoing Scam Luckily, Zhou’s friend, Carlos M., who works at Binance, quickly recognised the signs of the scam and alerted him. Zhou explained, “I checked with him and realized I had been scammed.” After realising his mistake, Zhou attempted to reverse the transactions by transferring funds back from the SafePal wallet to his Binance account. However, the scammer quickly noticed this move and began withdrawing the funds before Zhou could fully recover them. The situation escalated when Zhou ran out of gas fees for the transaction. In a final attempt to drain the wallet, the scammer sent additional ETH to cover the gas and withdrew the remaining funds. Zhou reported that he lost only 200 USDT in the incident, but the experience served as a harsh reminder of the dangers lurking in the crypto space.

The theft, which saw approximately $1.5 billion in digital assets stolen, has prompted a request for action from the global crypto community, urging exchanges, blockchain analytics firms, and other industry players to block any transactions linked to the stolen funds. Source: FBI North Korean Hackers Behind Bybit Breach In a public service announcement, the FBI confirmed what had been speculated in the industry. The hack was the work of North Korea’s state-sponsored hacking group, known variously as TraderTraitor, Lazarus Group, APT38, BlueNoroff, and Stardust Chollima. This group has long been a threat to the crypto ecosystem, carrying out high-profile heists and laundering stolen funds to fund North Korea’s missile programmes. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bybit’s $1.5B hack is bullish - Lazarus has diamond hands.<br><br>Led by Park Jin Hyok, now wanted by the FBI.<br><br>They’ve just drained $1.46B in staked ETH & ERC-20 tokens from Bybit, making it the biggest crypto hack ever, twice the size of the second-largest breach.<br><br>How did they pull… <a href="https://t.co/OV1JzWmhYB">pic.twitter.com/OV1JzWmhYB</a></p>— arndxt (@arndxt_xo) <a href="https://twitter.com/arndxt_xo/status/1893166554612932790?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 22, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Bybit confirmed that the hack took place on 21 February 2025, when hackers intercepted a scheduled fund transfer from one of the exchange's cold wallets to a hot wallet. The stolen cryptocurrency was then redirected to a blockchain address controlled by the hackers. FBI's Warning to Crypto Node Operators In response to the breach, the FBI is urging crypto node operators, exchanges, bridges, DeFi services, and blockchain analytics companies to block any transactions linked to the stolen funds. The agency highlighted that the stolen assets are rapidly being laundered and dispersed across multiple addresses on different blockchains, complicating tracking efforts. The FBI also shared a list of 51 Ethereum addresses connected to the hackers. Source: FBI The authorities warned that these assets could eventually be converted into fiat currency, making it even harder to trace the stolen funds. The FBI further advised the private sector to take immediate action to help prevent further financial crime. Hackers Launder Stolen Funds through Multiple Channels Since the theft, the hackers have reportedly laundered over 135,000 Ether (ETH), with the funds being dispersed across a variety of wallets and exchanges. Blockchain forensics firms such as Chainalysis and Elliptic have tracked the movements, revealing that the stolen Ether has been converted into Bitcoin, stablecoins like Dai, and other assets through decentralised exchanges, cross-chain bridges, and services that lack Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. ZachXBT, a well-known crypto fraud investigator, identified that some of the funds were routed through Ethereum addresses previously linked to other high-profile hacks attributed to the Lazarus Group. These findings were later confirmed by Elliptic and TRM Labs, both of which pointed to substantial overlaps between the addresses involved in the Bybit hack and previous North Korean thefts. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bybit stolen funds are likely headed to crypto mixers next, according to blockchain security firm Elliptic.<br><br>The Lazarus Group’s laundering process typically follows a characteristic pattern and it’s now engaged in the second stage of the laundering which involves layering the… <a href="https://t.co/9sFu5juZCO">pic.twitter.com/9sFu5juZCO</a></p>— Rollman Group (@Rollman_Group) <a href="https://twitter.com/Rollman_Group/status/1894067834755350875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> FBI Issues Public Service Announcement In an effort to prevent further laundering of the stolen assets, the FBI has made a public service announcement. The Bureau urged industry players to block transactions originating from the addresses tied to the North Korean hackers, saying, “TraderTraitor actors are proceeding rapidly and have converted some of the stolen assets to Bitcoin and other virtual assets dispersed across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains.” The FBI’s warning underscores the seriousness of the situation, highlighting that these funds are likely to continue being laundered and eventually converted into fiat currency, a process that could fuel further criminal activities. Hackers Use Safe{Wallet} Platform to Access Funds The hack targeted Bybit’s Safe{Wallet} platform, with the attackers gaining access through a compromised developer machine.
