On April 17, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Robert Dunlap, a man from Texas, was sentenced to 23 years in prison by federal judge LaShonda A. Hunt for orchestrating a cryptocurrency fraud scheme that defrauded nearly 1,000 investors out of over $20 million. Between 2018 and 2023, Dunlap claimed to operate a cryptocurrency business and sold a fraudulent digital asset called 'Meta-1 Coin' through 'Meta-1 Coin Trust.' He spread multiple false statements to potential and actual investors, claiming that the token was backed by artwork valued at up to $1 billion and $44 billion in gold, and falsely stated that an accounting firm had audited the gold and certified its value. The alleged art collection purportedly included works by renowned artists such as Picasso, Dali, and Van Gogh. To conceal the fact that he did not actually possess the aforementioned gold or artworks, Dunlap forged a series of legal documents.

On April 17, Bloomberg reported that regional officials familiar with the situation stated that some Gulf countries and European leaders believe it may take about six months for the U.S. and Iran to reach a peace agreement, and they advocate for extending the current ceasefire to cover this period. These officials indicated that national leaders hope to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy flow and privately warned that if the strait is not reopened by next month, a global food crisis could arise. They also noted that if the war continues for a longer duration, energy prices may rise further. Officials stated that Gulf countries believe Iran still seeks to develop nuclear weapons, a stance that has not changed following U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, and therefore, they believe any peace agreement should prohibit Iran from enriching uranium or possessing long-range ballistic missiles. However, Gulf countries generally oppose resuming combat and hope the U.S. will resolve disputes with Iran through diplomatic means.

On April 17, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson urged the U.S. government to develop contingency plans to prevent a potential collapse in demand for U.S. Treasury bonds. He warned that such a situation would have 'extremely severe' consequences. Paulson stated, 'We need an emergency response plan that is targeted and short-term, and it should be prepared in advance to be activated once a critical point is reached.' He noted that if the $31 trillion U.S. debt market were to fail, the nature of the crisis would differ from the financial crisis he faced two decades ago. 'At that time, the situation was already bad, but the government still had fiscal space to respond to the credit crisis. However, if a U.S. public debt crisis occurs and we reach a critical point where the only buyer of Treasury bonds is the Federal Reserve, leading to falling bond prices and rising interest rates, it would be a very dangerous situation.' For years, U.S. budget experts have warned of a potential 'doom loop': as government debt continues to grow, investors demand higher yields, which increases government interest expenses and further widens the fiscal deficit. In extreme cases, if the Treasury cannot raise enough funds to pay interest or principal, the market widely believes that the Federal Reserve will have to step in as an emergency buyer. Paulson emphasized, 'Once it happens, the impact will be very severe, so we must be prepared for this possibility.'
