Late Gambino Boss John Gotti's Grandson Sentenced to 15 Months for $1.1M COVID Loan Fraud Tied to Crypto F

Carmine G. Agnello Jr., the grandson of late Gambino crime family boss John J. Gotti, was sentenced this week to 15 months in federal prison for defrauding the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) out of approximately $1.1 million in COVID-19 pandemic relief loans.

Key Takeaways:

Carmine Agnello, grandson of Gambino boss John Gotti, received a 15-month federal prison sentence on April 20, 2026.

Agnello diverted roughly $420,000 of $1.1 million in fraudulent SBA EIDL funds into a cryptocurrency business.

U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. signaled the Eastern District of New York will continue prosecuting COVID-19 relief fraud cases.

U.S. District Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury imposed the sentence in federal court in Central Islip, New York. Agnello, 39, of Smithtown, New York, must also pay $1,268,302 in restitution to the SBA, serve two years of supervised release following his release from prison, and complete 100 hours of community service. The sentence came below federal guidelines, which pointed to a range of roughly 31 to 44 months.

Agnello operated Crown Auto Parts and Recycling, LLC, based in Jamaica, Queens. Between April 2020 and November 2021, he submitted at least three fraudulent applications for Economic Injury Disaster Loans through the SBA’s CARES Act program, which provided low-interest emergency financing to small businesses hurt by the pandemic. He received the full $1.1 million.

To obtain the funds, Agnello misrepresented the number of employees at Crown, falsely described how the loan proceeds would be used, and claimed he had no criminal record. He had a 2018 New York State m

SEI’s latest rally has been closely tied to increased positioning in the perpetual futures market, where traders appear to be leaning into the upgrade narrative with long exposure.

At the time of writing, Open Interest (OI) rose sharply over the past day, with more than $10 million in leveraged positions added. A significant share of this capital tilts toward long positions, as reflected in a positive funding rate during the same period.

Other derivatives’ indicators reinforce this trend. Liquidation data showed that short traders bore the brunt of market pressure over the past 24 hours, with approximately $72,000 in positions wiped out, while long-side liquidations remained comparatively limited.

In derivatives markets, this pattern often reflects upward price movement, as the forced closure of short positions tends to push prices higher.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

XRP price is up 1.33% over the past 24 hours, trading near $1.44, largely tracking the broader market move and showing strong positive beta with Bitcoin. However, this upside remains reactive rather than structural, with price continuing to respect key resistance levels. Since the start of the month, XRP has largely moved sideways, failing to establish higher highs despite multiple attempts to break out.

This lack of follow-through highlights a market driven by external momentum rather than internal strength. Buyers are active, but not aggressive enough to reclaim supply zones, keeping the price capped below resistance. As a result, XRP remains in a range-bound structure with a bearish tilt, where rallies are being sold into rather than sustained.

Is XRP Price Losing the Momentum?
The daily chart highlights a clear range-bound structure, with XRP price trading between a well-defined resistance near $1.45 and support around $1.05. Price action has repeatedly tested the upper boundary but failed to sustain a breakout, reinforcing this zone as a strong supply area where sellers continue to dominate. The price continues to respect the descending trendline near the $1.48–$1.50 region, while the lower boundary is gradually rising from the $1.12 lows, creating a squeeze in price action.

A new position paper from the Independent Advisory Board is sending a clear message to the crypto industry: The quantum threat isn’t urgent—but ignoring it is a mistake. Authored by leading experts in

A new position paper from the  Independent Advisory Board is sending a clear message to the crypto industry:
The quantum threat isn’t urgent—but ignoring it is a mistake.
Authored by leading experts including , , and , the report emphasizes that while today’s quantum computers are far from breaking modern cryptography, the transition to post-quantum security must begin now.
Why this matters
Blockchains like  and  rely heavily on public-key cryptography (like elliptic curves).
A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could, in theory, break these systems.
But here’s the nuance:
👉 This is not a “tomorrow” problem
👉 It is a “start preparing today” problem
The 2035 wake-up call
The  recommends completing post-quantum migrations by 2035.
However, the report warns that there’s no guarantee quantum systems won’t reach critical capability by then—or shortly after.
So the real risk isn’t timing uncertainty…
It’s being unprepared when the shift happens.
Bitcoin’s exposure 🪙
Not all BTC is equally safe:
Some addresses still hide public keys (safer)
Others have already exposed them on-chain
Estimates suggest ~6.9 million BTC fall into the latter category, including early-era coins.
These could become targets for “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks once quantum tech matures.
Still, no panic:
The report suggests practical mitigations like:
Commit-reveal schemes
Controlled spending mechanisms (e.g., “Hourglass” concept)
Ethereum’s broader attack surface ⚙️
For , the challenge is more complex:
User transaction signatures
Validator (consensus layer) signatures
Zero-knowledge proof systems
Data commitments (KZG)
Proposed direction:
👉 Shift toward hash-based (post-quantum) signatures
👉 Use SNARKs to compress large signatures
👉 Adopt gradual migration (not forced upgrades)
Key takeaway
“Waiting for it to become urgent is not a good strategy.”

21 апреля 2026 года Volo Protocol потерял 3,5 миллиона долларов из трех хранилищ на базе Sui в результате компрометации закрытого ключа администратора.

GoPlus Security и ExVul подтвердили взлом привилегированного ключа оператора, а не ошибку в проверенных смарт-контрактах Volo.

Volo заблокировал попытку злоумышленника создать мост на 19,6 WBTC и компенсирует все потери, а хранилища заморожены до проведения анализа причин сбоя.

В результате атаки были выведены средства из трех хранилищ, содержащих обернутые биткоины (WBTC), токенизированный золотой актив XAUm из Matrixdock и USDC. Независимые анализы показали, что потери составили приблизительно 2,1 миллиона долларов в WBTC, 0,9 миллиона долларов в XAUm и 0,5 миллиона долларов в USDC. Остальные хранилища, общая заблокированная стоимость которых составляет около 28 миллионов долларов, не пострадали и не показали общих уязвимостей. Команда Volo быстро обнаружила взлом.  Команда заморозила все хранилища, уведомила фонд Sui Foundation и начала сотрудничать с следователями блокчейна и партнерами по экосистеме для отслеживания и возврата украденных средств.

В сообщении на X Volo заявила, что возьмет на себя все убытки, не перекладывая расходы на вкладчиков. «Volo готова понести эти убытки. Мы сделаем все возможное, чтобы не перекладывать их на наших пользователей», — написала команда. После завершения расследования был обещан полный анализ ситуации.

«Сейчас мы находимся в режиме минимизации ущерба, но как только это будет сделано, мы разработаем план по устранению последствий, и в ближайшее время будет опубликован полный отчет», — добавила команда.

В течение 30 минут после первоначального объявления Volo сообщила о заморозке примерно 500 000 долларов украденных активов в сотрудничестве с партнерами по экосистеме. На следующий день, 22 апреля, команда подтвердила, что перехватила и заблокировала попытку злоумышленника вывест

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $77,541 per coin on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, up 2.2% over 24 hours and 4.3% on the week, after Trump extended the Iran ceasefire indefinitely and Strategy disclosed a $2.54 billion BTC buy lifting holdings past 815,000 coins.

The move takes the leading digital asset to its highest level since early February, breaking out of a two-month consolidation range drawn from the 2024 lows. Ethereum added 0.7% to $2,390, XRP gained 1.5% to $1.45, and Dogecoin jumped 2.5% off the 9-cent support.

Why is crypto going up today? Two catalysts this week flipped a six-week short positioning bias into forced cover buying. The ceasefire extension removed the weekend's Hormuz overhang, and Strategy's largest buy since November 2024 absorbed nearly three times April's global miner supply in one week
