Дело о краже криптовалюты на $24 млн у абонента AT&T возобновят

Телекоммуникационный гигант AT&T вновь предстанет перед судом по делу о его роли в краже $24 млн в криптовалюте у основателя группы биткоин-инвесторов BitAngels Майкла Терпина посредством подмены SIM-карт. Соответствующее постановление вынес Апелляционный суд Центрального округа Калифорнии.

Инцидент произошел в 2018 году, когда 15-летний хакер Эллис Пински совместно с 21-летним подельником Николасом Трулиа подкупили сотрудника AT&T с целью подмены SIM-карты Терпина. В дальнейшем контроль над номером телефона позволил им обойти двухфакторную аутентификацию, защищавшую один из кошельков криптоинвестора.

Первоначально Терпин выдвинул 16 обвинений против мобильного оператора, но только три из них были рассмотрены и впоследствии отклонены.

По итогам пересмотра дела судебная коллегия признала правомерность такого решения по двум пунктам — о мошенничестве со стороны AT&T и требовании Терпина о возмещении штрафных убытков в размере $216 млн.

Жалоба на основании 222 раздела Федерального закона о связи касательно неспособности AT&T защитить пользовательскую информацию признана обоснованной.

По словам ведущего адвоката Терпина Пирса О’Доннелла, его подзащитный будет требовать от мобильного оператора не менее $45 млн, включая $24 млн возмещения убытков, $14 млн процентов и гонорары юристам.

Непосредственно после инцидента Пинский возместил $2 млн от похищенной суммы. В октябре 2022 года в рамках гражданского иска он согласился вернуть оставшиеся $22 млн без признания вины и привлечения к уголовной ответственности. Также хакер даст показания в пользу Терпина в деле против AT&T.

Ончейн-детектив ZachXBT поддержал новый иск, подчеркнув ответственность телекоммуникационных компаний в делах о SIM-своппинге. Согласно приведенной им статистике, с апреля по август 2023 года 54 случая такого вида атак привели к краже более $13,3 млн.

Hopefully Terpin see some success against ATT as US telecom companies need to be held accountable for all of these SIM swaps…. https://t.co/4uXB0PGqY6

Напомним, в 2019 году Терпин подал в суд на сообщника Пинского Николаса Трулиа на $75,8 млн и выиграл дело.

Can crypto recover from its $2.6T market cap wipeout? If not, what’s next?

Cryptocurrency markets are entering Q3 under significant pressure, with the total market cap falling from a record $4.7 trillion to around $2.05 trillion. Macroeconomic uncertainty, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and rising Treasury yields are driving a flight to safety, dampening investor appetite for risk assets like crypto. This negative backdrop is compounded by weak crypto-specific fundamentals, including a sharp decline in DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) from $115 billion to $70 billion and a record number of hacks resulting in major losses. With technical indicators and market performance lagging behind other asset classes like the NASDAQ, the outlook for a recovery in Q3 appears increasingly bearish.

LAB’s 23% price crash meets bearish bets – Can bulls defend $13?

LAB's price plummeted over 23% in 24 hours, trading near $13.53 as bearish sentiment dominated. Despite the sharp decline, on-chain data shows ongoing token accumulation, with negative spot exchange netflows indicating holders are moving LAB to private wallets rather than selling. However, this has not offset broader selling pressure. Technically, LAB is testing the lower support of its ascending channel near $13. A break below could target the $12 demand zone. Indicators like the MACD and Parabolic SAR remain bearish. In derivatives markets, a negative funding rate shows sustained short interest, though this creates potential for a short squeeze if buyers return. In summary, LAB faces heavy selling pressure with key channel support at risk. A successful defense of $13 could stabilize the price, while a breakdown would likely target $12 next.

$ANSEM deployer sends 60% of supply to Ansem, who says he has airdropped $7M to holders

The Solana memecoin $ANSEM is facing scrutiny after on-chain analysts revealed the token's deployer transferred approximately 60% of its total supply—650 million tokens—to crypto influencer Ansem. The deployer then sold their remaining tokens for about $11,800, securing an estimated profit of $5,500, despite the token briefly reaching a valuation above $120 million. In response, Ansem stated he has already distributed roughly $7 million worth of $ANSEM through community airdrops and plans further distributions as the token's market cap grows, aiming to expand the holder base. However, analytics platform Bubblemaps identified an early holder cluster that has sold about $500,000 of tokens and still holds around 1% of the supply, indicating continued selling pressure amidst the token's volatile rally and $43 million market capitalization.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 27

Bitcoin's price remained weak, testing support around $58K before stabilizing near $60K. The market is in a structural adjustment with persistent net selling in spot markets and capital outflows from US ETFs, indicating a lack of buyer conviction. Derivatives markets show ongoing deleveraging and high demand for downside protection, reflecting a cautious and defensive posture among traders. On-chain metrics present a mixed picture: transfer volume has recovered, suggesting large capital movement, but rising "hot" (short-term) capital and subdued network fees point to underlying caution and potential volatility. Overall, while finding tentative stability, Bitcoin lacks the key drivers for a sustained recovery, requiring a significant return of buyer confidence.

Strategy approves Bitcoin monetization program under new capital framework

Strategy has approved a board-authorized Bitcoin monetization program under a new Digital Credit Capital Framework, formally outlining for the first time how it may sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings. The framework allows the company to monetize Bitcoin to build up to $1.25 billion in U.S. dollar reserves, fund dividend and interest payments, and repurchase preferred securities and common stock. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor described it as an evolution in capital strategy, enabling Bitcoin to support shareholder value while remaining the primary treasury asset. The announcement accompanied disclosures of a $2.55 billion cash reserve, authorization for $2 billion in buybacks, and an unchanged Bitcoin holding of 847,363 BTC.
