Британец взял кредит для помощи бизнесу и купил криптовалюту

Королевский суд Англии и Уэльса приговорил 49-летнего владельца компании по установке стекол Хараламбоса Иоанноу (Haralambos Ioannou) к 22 месяцам тюрьмы условно и штрафу, признав виновным в мошенничестве с льготными кредитами Bounce Back, взятыми на поддержку бизнеса во время пандемии коронавируса.

В приговоре суда говорится, что Хараламбос Иоанну подал заявку на два займа Bounce Back общей суммой 100 000 фунтов стерлингов ($133 000), а затем потратил большую часть одного из кредитов на инвестиции в криптовалюту, сняв еще часть наличными.

Британское правительство в разгар пандемии запустило программу Bounce Back Loans — беспроцентные кредиты до 50 000 фунтов ($66 000) малому бизнесу, пострадавшему от последствий COVID-19. Каждое малое предприятие могло получить только одну такую ссуду, чтобы, например, покрыть операционные расходы. Хараламбос Иоанну, как сформулировано вердиктом суда, «обманным путем» оформил вторую ссуду на ту же сумму и использовал на нецелевые нужды.

Помимо условного тюремного срока, суд лишил Иоанну права занимать руководящие должности в компаниях сроком на пять лет, обязав выплатить 40 000 фунтов стерлингов ($53 000) в качестве компенсации, а также отработать 150 часов неоплачиваемых работ.

Ранее Королевский суд Англии наказал казначея церкви Сент-Эндрюс в городе Шифнали за кражу пожертвований местных прихожан и скаутских объединений ради участия в мошеннической криптовалютной схеме.

"Negative factors are almost gone." Bitcoin price forecasts

"Bitcoin witnessed a significant surge from $62,000 to nearly $80,000 during the week of August 17, driven by a US Treasury decision to increase bond purchases. Several major market players have issued bullish long-term forecasts, suggesting Bitcoin could reach $500,000 in the coming years. However, the short-term outlook remains mixed. Analysts note that negative factors for Bitcoin have largely diminished. American macroeconomist Lyn Alden stated speculative capital has been flushed from the market, and even small gains could attract new buyers. Standard Chartered has set a $100,000 price target by late 2026, viewing the recent breakout above $65,000 as a sign the cycle's bottom is past. VanEck's Matthew Sigel predicts $100,000 next year and a potential rise to $500,000 by 2029, noting the correction from the October 2025 peak is ending. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong sees a "very likely" scenario of Bitcoin reaching $300,000-$400,000 by 2030 due to US regulatory clarity and adoption. Despite the rally, experts caution that historical data previously suggested the cycle bottom might not occur until autumn 2026. In the near term, Alexander Peresich, CEO of Tekhnobit, commented that Bitcoin could consolidate above $80,000 if sustained demand from spot markets and ETFs continues. Otherwise, profit-taking amid low weekend liquidity could trigger a correction. He views the current momentum as a "sigh of relief rather than a signal of a long-term trend reversal," with the market remaining sensitive to inflation expectations and geopolitics. He outlined two scenarios for the weekend: an optimistic one holding above $76,000-$77,000 and targeting $80,000, and a pessimistic one involving a pullback to $72,000-$75,000. He concluded that the weekend will test whether there is solid underlying demand supporting the price movement."

Bitcoin Approaches the $80,000 Mark! Will This Rise Continue? Analysts Warn!

Bitcoin's recent surge is nearing the $80,000 mark, but analysis from CoinShares suggests the price could retreat below this level in the short term. According to the firm, a sustained breakthrough above $80,000 would require a clear signal from the U.S. Federal Reserve that it will not enact further monetary policy tightening. The report attributes Bitcoin's recent gains primarily to macroeconomic conditions, specifically moderated U.S. inflation and weakening labor market data, which have reduced expectations for more aggressive Fed actions. Despite hawkish tones in recent FOMC meeting minutes, subsequent data has further diminished the likelihood of additional policy tightening. Bitcoin, being sensitive to liquidity expectations and real interest rate changes, reacted sharply to these developments. Market indicators show a decline in short-term U.S. Treasury yields, suggesting investors do not anticipate further rate hikes. Conversely, high 30-year Treasury yields reflect persistent concerns about U.S. fiscal prospects and debt sustainability. Analysts note that this combination of expected monetary easing and long-term bond market worries has historically created a favorable environment for Bitcoin. The rally was partly fueled by large-scale short position liquidations, with blockchain data indicating renewed accumulation by major investors. However, CoinShares warns that the $80,000 level will likely remain a critical resistance ceiling unless the Fed explicitly confirms a shift in policy risks.
