Mining Company Employee Mined 1 BTC on Employer's Equipment

In July 2021, an employee at a New York-based mining company, identified as Rankin, misused his access to 100 of his employer's computers. He redirected the corporate computing power to his personal mining pool and transferred the mined cryptocurrency to Bitcoin addresses under his control. His actions forced the equipment to operate at a high-performance level, significantly reducing its lifespan and damaging stored data. As a result, the company lost 1.06683386 BTC, valued at approximately $53,315 at the time of the crime. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York charged Rankin with transmitting malicious code and commands to protected computers, and with damaging property. He faces up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, with sentencing scheduled for November 17, 2026. The report also mentions a similar case in Russia, where a manager at a plant was suspected of illegally using electricity for mining over four years.

The Kalshi Case Decision Puts Pressure on the Crypto Prediction Market Boom

A Washington state court ordered prediction market platform Kalshi to stop offering most event-based contracts in the state, ruling it likely violated state gambling and consumer protection laws. This highlights a growing legal battle over whether prediction markets are regulated financial derivatives or illegal gambling. While Kalshi, regulated by the CFTC, argues federal commodity laws preempt state rules, Washington and other states including New York are challenging its operations. The conflict intensified as the CFTC used emergency powers to keep Kalshi operating under federal law after state actions threatened to void user contracts. Crypto-related contracts constitute a significant portion of trading volume on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. With prediction market volume projected to grow massively, the court's classification of these platforms—as federally-regulated derivatives or state-level gambling—will critically impact the expansion of crypto-native trading infrastructure and stablecoin settlements.

"Exposed by Braggadocio": ZachXBT Reveals Identity of Scammer Who Stole $5M from Crypto Investors

On-chain investigator ZachXBT has exposed the identity of US citizen Tiffany Milanovich, a member of a group that stole at least $5 million from cryptocurrency investors through an elaborate social engineering scheme. The fraud involved sending fake, alarming emails impersonating crypto services, followed by phone calls where Milanovich, posing as support staff, calmly instructed victims to enter their seed phrases into phishing panels, leading to complete asset drainage. The group's downfall stemmed from their own pride. Milanovich recorded mocking calls with victims, boasted about stolen funds in private Telegram chats, flaunted cash and casino balances, and even gambled victims' funds live. This digital trail, alongside evidence like a leaked search warrant and connections to other criminals like "Lick" (John Daghita), left a comprehensive paper trail. ZachXBT compiled the evidence—including call recordings, chats, and on-chain data—and submitted it to US authorities. The case highlights a major shift in crypto threats from code exploits to psychology, with social engineering now causing the majority of losses. The irreversibility of crypto transactions makes such psychological attacks particularly devastating.

Genius Sports signs contracts with both Kalshi and Polymarket

Genius Sports has signed separate contracts with Kalshi and Polymarket, expanding its role in the prediction markets sector. Under the deal announced on August 5th, Genius will supply Kalshi with official, real-time data for its soccer portfolio, including top leagues like the English Premier League and Serie A. Kalshi will use this verified data as a single source of truth for settling sports event contracts, join Genius's information-sharing processes, restrict certain market types, and access marketing services through Genius's Legend media division. The earlier agreement with Polymarket, announced on August 4th, covers similar settlement data and integrity services but adds exclusive U.S. streaming rights and league IP for specific competitions, including Serie A. It took immediate effect for eligible U.S. users. Financial terms were not disclosed for either deal. CEO Mark Locke stated these deals reflect Genius's strategic position owning crucial official data and the audience at the top of the ecosystem. The company reported strong Q2 results, with revenue up 65% to $195.5M, citing early synergies from its $1.2B acquisition of Legend and contributions from prediction markets. Following the announcements, Genius's stock rose significantly. The partnerships formalize and expand previous event-specific collaborations with both platforms into broader platform-level relationships. Notably, a federal judge in Utah recently ruled against Kalshi in a summary judgment, rejecting its preemption arguments for sports event contracts, a decision Kalshi is appealing.

25-Year Sentence for FTX Founder Officially Upheld

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has officially upheld the conviction and 25-year prison sentence for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, significantly reducing his chances for early release. The court rejected Bankman-Fried's claims that FTX had sufficient liquidity to ensure investor reimbursement and no losses occurred. It also affirmed a New York district court's ruling for an $11 billion asset forfeiture. The judges emphasized that under wire fraud law, the deception of FTX customers occurred as soon as their funds were transferred to Alameda Research, regardless of any intent to repay the money later. Claims that there was no intent to defraud because he planned to return the funds were deemed legally misleading. Bankman-Fried's remaining legal options for early release are now limited, potentially including a pardon from former President Donald Trump or an appeal to the Supreme Court. Previous reports indicate the U.S. president has no plans for a pardon.

Beware of the New Memecoin: BNB Developers Announce Intention to File a Lawsuit!

BNB Chain has publicly disavowed any connection to the meme coin ASTEROID, alleging it was created by a former employee using unauthorized access. According to the company, while employed, the individual created a wallet address using an official test wallet for a tutorial and launched a test token (TST). After leaving the company, the ex-employee reportedly used the retained seed phrase to generate a new private key and, on August 1, used that same wallet address to deploy the ASTEROID token on the BNB Chain. The token's market cap briefly surged to $10 million within four hours of launch. BNB Chain clarified it did not create, authorize, or promote ASTEROID, and maintains no control over the token or its wallet. The company announced it has initiated legal proceedings against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant authorities on the matter.

a16z: From Companies to DAOs, DUNA May Become the Next Generation Organizational Form

This article, "From Companies to DAOs: How DUNA Could Become the Next Organizational Form," traces the 500-year evolution of business collaboration. It begins with medieval structures like the *commenda* and Florentine *compagnia*, which exposed partners to personal risk. The modern corporation, exemplified by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), was a revolutionary leap, enabling large-scale, capital-intensive ventures by offering limited liability and reducing coordination costs. However, corporations introduced new challenges like principal-agent problems and bureaucratic overhead. The piece argues that software and internet-native protocols are now reducing these traditional overheads. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) emerged as a new model for coordination without centralized management. Yet, DAOs face a significant legal vacuum: they lack legal recognition, leaving members exposed to unlimited personal liability, and their tokens are vulnerable to being classified as securities under unclear regulations (e.g., the Howey Test). This has forced projects into suboptimal workarounds like offshore foundations. The article identifies the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) as a potential solution. Recently legalized in states like Wyoming, the DUNA provides a legal wrapper for decentralized networks. It grants key protections—legal personality, limited liability, and perpetual existence—to a group without imposing a traditional hierarchical management structure. This allows token-holder communities to govern, hold assets, and contract as a single legal entity, aligning with their decentralized nature. While DUNA doesn't solve all governance challenges or magically resolve securities law questions, it represents a crucial step. It fills the legal recognition gap, offering a native legal form for internet-scale, decentralized collaboration and extending the separation of personal risk from organizational venture into a new domain.

Rumors Spread About Altcoin: Former Employees Speak Out

Rumors are circulating about the Solana-based meme launchpad Pump.fun allegedly conducting employee layoffs just before significant token unlocks. According to reports, the company began terminating employees around two months before their $PUMP tokens were scheduled to vest. At least one former employee reportedly lost tokens now valued at over $1 million. Internal documents suggest Pump.fun cited overly rapid growth as a reason for layoffs starting in early April. Terminated employees were offered severance, but the major loss stemmed from forfeiting their allocated $PUMP tokens per their agreements, which stipulated a four-year vesting schedule. A second wave of layoffs reportedly occurred in mid-July, with claims that some employees were dismissed just one day before their tokens unlocked. The total number of employees let go over two months is said to exceed 40. Pump.fun co-founders have not commented. Despite an approximate 79% drop from its 2025 peak, $PUMP retains substantial value. The platform itself has been highly profitable since late 2024, generating around $1.3 billion in total revenue and facilitating the creation of over 20.8 million tokens, with daily revenue reportedly still near $1 million.

NKTsBFR Disclosed Details of the Cryptocurrency Bill Preparation

The head of Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NКЦБФР), Alexey Semenyuk, disclosed that the draft law on virtual assets is approximately 90% complete, with the final text expected in August. However, the bill's parliamentary passage will follow later. Key agreed-upon provisions include establishing the NКЦБФР as the primary regulator, with a clearly defined role for the National Bank, and classifying virtual assets in line with the EU's MiCA regulation. Licensing rules for service providers, prudential requirements, and a special regime for wartime operations are also settled. Major unresolved issues remain, notably the taxation framework for cryptocurrency transactions and the legal status of virtual assets in criminal and enforcement proceedings. Semenyuk noted these areas, outside the commission's direct competence, are progressing the slowest. Consultations on the post-enactment transition period are ongoing. Work on the legislation has spanned several years. The bill passed its first reading in September 2025 but faced significant delays due to thousands of proposed amendments. Officials anticipate the finalized law could take effect from January 1, 2027.

How Safe is it to Trade Gram and Make Purchases on Telegram — Explanation from a Lawyer

Currently, it is possible to purchase stars, pay for premium subscriptions, use the crypto wallet, and trade Gram (Toncoin) tokens within Telegram, according to Denis Polyakov, head of the "Digital Economy" practice at GMT Legal. He states there are currently no legal issues for users in Russia because only Pavel Durov personally, not Telegram's operating company, is listed as a terrorist/extremist. However, Polyakov suggests the Russian government might in the future add Telegram's operator company to the Rosfinmonitoring (Federal Financial Monitoring Service) list, similar to Meta in 2022. For now, Rosfinmonitoring has confirmed that sanctions against Durov do not apply to Telegram as a legal entity. This clarification comes after Russia's Federal Security Service opened a criminal case against Durov for allegedly "facilitating terrorist activities." A deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy had previously advised Russians to stop buying TON (Gram), paying for subscriptions, or conducting any transactions within the Telegram ecosystem.
