В течение нескольких месяцев мошенники вывели с криптобиржи средства на сумму более $25 млн и отмыли деньги через покупку недвижимости, предметов роскоши и цифровые активы, рассказали полицейские.

В ходе расследования полиция конфисковала 445 биткоинов и более $1,5 млн на банковских счетах. Участники группы которые были осуждены на срок от четырех до шести лет тюремного заключения. Британские правоохранительные органы сообщили, что сотрудничали с властями Австралии и Финляндии, чтобы выследить и привлечь к ответственности криптовзломщиков.

Полиция рассказала, что изъятые финансовые активы будут возвращены пострадавшей стороне. Однако из-за увеличения стоимости биткоинов, купленных преступниками, изъятая сумма превысила украденную примерно на $4 млн — излишек будет разделен между Министерством внутренних дел Великобритании, судами и полицией Ланкашира.

Ранее прокуратура Северного округа Огайо (USAO) подала иск об отчуждении конфискованных 947 883 стейблкоинов USDT у мошенника, который обворовал местного жителя, представившись сотрудником службы безопасности.

A Former ByteDance Employee's Account: How I Started with Two Pinduoduo Hard Drives and Made a 600% Profit with Seagate to Achieve Financial Freedom?

Summary: A former ByteDance employee describes how a personal observation led to a highly profitable investment in Seagate Technology ($STX). Needing hard drives for a personal data project in August, he noticed their prices on Pinduoduo were rising consistently. Investigating further using price-tracking tools, he confirmed a broader, sustained price increase for high-capacity HDDs. He traced this to surging AI demand, as data centers require massive, cost-effective storage for model training and data, favoring high-capacity enterprise HDDs like those from Seagate. This demand was squeezing consumer supply. After initial research and a small purchase, he waited for confirmation from institutional 13F filings. Seeing a clear multi-quarter trend of increasing institutional ownership in Seagate, he significantly increased his position. From an entry around $150, Seagate's stock price rose over sixfold to approximately $965. He attributes the success to a methodology of identifying anomalies in everyday life (e.g., product shortages/price hikes), researching the underlying structural cause, identifying the publicly-traded beneficiary, and using 13F data to confirm institutional interest over multiple quarters. He cautions that this was one successful case among others that failed and is not offering investment advice.

BTC Hits Its Lowest Point Since 2024, But Is It Still Not the Right Time to Buy the Dip?

**Summary:** Bitcoin (BTC) has plunged to new lows in 2024, dropping over 50% from its all-time high to around $57,800, while Ethereum and Solana also show significant weakness. The market sentiment is at "extreme fear." The primary headwinds are identified as massive and sustained net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs since May 2026, creating significant selling pressure, and the evaporation of expectations for a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut in 2026, which makes holding cash and bonds more attractive than risk assets like crypto. Analysts are actively debating the potential bottom. Key predictions include: * **glassnode's Rafael:** Suggests a bottom between $46,000 and $54,000, based on on-chain metrics like Realized Price and CVDD. He notes that institutional demand (via ETFs) is currently a net seller, not a buyer. * **BIT Analysis:** Argues the bear market is in its final stage, with a potential bottoming zone between $50,000 and $55,000, possibly aligning with the 2026 FIFA World Cup period (June-July). * **Wintermute:** Believes the market is in the late stages of a bear market but cautions the true bottom may not arrive until September-October 2026, contingent on renewed capital inflows. * **Liquid Capital's JackYi:** Posits that July-August 2026 could be the final capitulation and the best accumulation window, with potential bottom prices ranging from $51,000 to $43,000. * **Jiang Zhuo'er (BTC.TOP):** Predicts a bottom between $42,000 and $44,000 in October-December 2026, based on cycle analysis and MSTR's mNAV metric. * **Prediction Markets:** Polymarket data indicates a 79% chance BTC falls below $55,000 in 2026, a 65% chance below $50,000, and a 30% chance below $40,000. The consensus is that while bearish conditions are severe, the exact timing and price level of the ultimate bottom remain uncertain and depend on factors like ETF flows, macroeconomic policy, and potential market shocks.
