BitRiver Founder Sent to Pre-trial Detention on Fraud Charges

Founder of Russian cryptocurrency mining company BitRiver, Igor Runets, has been remanded in custody for at least two months on suspicion of large-scale fraud. He is accused under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code ("large-scale fraud committed by an organized group"). The investigation alleges fraudulent activities related to supplying mining equipment, causing damages of nearly 1 billion rubles to the En+ group, a metallurgical and energy conglomerate. Authorities successfully petitioned for detention, citing the scale of the alleged damages and concerns Runets could influence witnesses. His representatives have not commented. The case's progression hinges on equipment examinations and witness testimony from En+. This follows Runets' detention under house arrest in February on separate suspicions of tax evasion by concealing assets. Concurrently, BitRiver's parent company, Fox Group, faces bankruptcy proceedings with debts of $9.2 million, threatening the mining firm's survival and potential change of ownership.

CFTC says states cannot force Kalshi to cancel executed trades

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has ordered the derivatives exchange Kalshi to honor already executed event contracts involving Michigan residents, blocking Kalshi's proposed emergency rule to unwind those trades. The CFTC's decision comes in response to a Michigan state court order that sought to cancel the trades, which the state considers illegal internet sports betting. The regulator stated that allowing states to force the cancellation of completed derivatives trades undermines market confidence, price discovery, and contractual certainty. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig emphasized that federal law does not permit a designated contract market (DCM) to discriminate against residents of a state or violate its obligations under the Commodity Exchange Act. The case highlights an ongoing jurisdictional conflict, with the CFTC framing it as part of a broader effort to defend its exclusive authority over federally regulated derivatives markets against state interference.

Appeals Court Rejects Sam Bankman-Fried Bid For New FTX Trial

A federal appeals court has rejected Sam Bankman-Fried's bid for a new trial, upholding his convictions in the FTX fraud case. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied defense claims of an unfair trial, sharply narrowing his legal options. His team could still petition the US Supreme Court. The ruling reinforces the legal precedent from one of crypto's most consequential cases, keeping focus on FTX's collapse, customer losses, and ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. For the market, the decision underscores the lasting impact of FTX on regulatory debates concerning exchange oversight, custody rules, and asset segregation as the industry works to rebuild trust.

The 'Middle Eastern Prince' Swindles a Wealthy Woman: Renting Planes and Rolls-Royces, Scamming 120 Million Over Three Years

Two brothers who posed as "Middle Eastern princes" have been sentenced in the United States to 24 and 23 years in prison, respectively, and ordered to pay over $21.2 million in restitution and back taxes. Over three years, they fraudulently obtained approximately $21 million, primarily by promoting fictitious investment projects, including a non-existent cryptocurrency mining operation in a former General Electric industrial park in East Cleveland. The brothers, aged 42 and 33, created elaborate personas: one claimed to be a wealthy royal family heir and the city's "International Economic Advisor," while the other posed as a hedge fund manager with expertise from watching the TV show *Billions*. They bolstered their image by renting luxury cars and private jets and cultivating a relationship with a local mayor's chief of staff, who provided official-looking documents and government event access. A significant portion of the victims' funds, about $18 million, came from a single Chinese investor, a woman from Sichuan with experience in Bitcoin mining. The brothers also defrauded several women, including one former girlfriend. Their scheme unraveled when the primary investor discovered her $6 million worth of mining equipment had been sold off. The case highlights a trend of impostors using fabricated "Middle Eastern royal" identities to target wealthy individuals. Similar incidents include a "Dubai prince" who recently promoted a $500 million family office in Hong Kong and a Colombian man who impersonated a Saudi prince for decades in the US before being caught and sentenced in 2019.

China Banned Bitcoin — Then One Of Its Highest Courts Just Ruled It’s Protected Property

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate has published a landmark case ruling that Bitcoin qualifies as legally protected property under the country's criminal law. The case involved a defendant sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison for stealing 107 Bitcoin, valued based on the proceeds from its sale. Prosecutors successfully argued that Bitcoin holds economic value and can be exclusively controlled, meeting the statutory definition of property. This ruling creates a striking contradiction within China's legal framework, as the country has maintained a comprehensive ban on all cryptocurrency transactions since 2021. Despite this official prohibition, Chinese courts have consistently affirmed Bitcoin's status as protected property in criminal cases. By publishing this case as guidance, the Supreme People's Procuratorate signals to prosecutors nationwide to treat Bitcoin theft as property theft, valued at market rates, directly conflicting with the overarching ban on its use and trade.

4 Years After Terra’s Collapse, Hodlnaut’s Former CEO Faces Fraud Charges In Singapore Court

Zhu Juntao, co-founder and former CEO of the defunct Singapore crypto lender Hodlnaut, has been charged with fraud by false representation in a Singapore court. The charges relate to alleged misleading statements made to users in mid-2022, claiming the platform had no exposure or losses from the Terra (UST) collapse. Investigations later revealed Hodlnaut lost nearly $190 million from Terra, contributing to a $193 million shortfall that led to its liquidation. Zhu pleaded not guilty to all six charges, which carry potential imprisonment of up to 20 years. His case highlights ongoing legal accountability efforts stemming from the 2022 crypto market contagion.

U.S. court backs Kalshi, reinforcing CFTC’s push for federal control over prediction markets

A U.S. federal appeals court has ruled in favor of prediction market platform Kalshi, reinforcing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) position that event-based contracts qualify as federally regulated derivatives, not gambling. The Third Circuit upheld an injunction blocking New Jersey from applying state gambling laws to Kalshi, affirming that such contracts fall under CFTC jurisdiction as "swaps" under the Commodity Exchange Act. This decision strengthens the CFTC's legal arguments against state-level crackdowns, supports the development of a unified national market, and may accelerate institutional adoption of prediction markets.

U.S. Court Clears Path for Nevada to Take Action Against Kalshi Prediction Market

A U.S. appeals court has allowed Nevada to proceed with legal action against prediction market platform Kalshi, denying the company’s request to block a potential temporary restraining order. This could force Kalshi to suspend operations in Nevada for about two weeks until a follow-up hearing. The dispute began in March 2025 when the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued a cease-and-desist order, arguing that Kalshi’s sports-related prediction contracts violate state gambling laws. Kalshi contends that its products are federally regulated by the CFTC, which supports its position. The ruling is a setback for Kalshi and may lead to an imminent temporary ban in the state.

Trust Collapse: How an Insider Took Away a Hong Kong Teenager's $160 Million in BTC

In a high-profile case currently being heard in the UK High Court, Hong Kong-based financial influencer and former "stock prodigy" Yuen Bing-fai, also known as "Fire Fat Sam," has accused his estranged wife, Li Wun-yung, of stealing 2,323 BTC (worth approximately $162 million at the time of writing) from his cold wallet. Yuen alleges that Li, with the help of her sister, installed hidden cameras in their Brighton home to record him entering his PIN and seed phrase for his Trezor hardware wallet. The theft came to light after their daughter warned Yuen that her mother might be planning to take the Bitcoin. Secretly recorded conversations between Li and her sister, submitted as evidence, reportedly include discussions about transferring the BTC, laundering the funds, and avoiding police detection. The BTC was moved to 71 different addresses and has remained there since. Yuen, who gained fame through stock and crypto investments, claims to have acquired the Bitcoin between 2010 and 2013. The court has issued a global freezing order on the assets due to crypto's volatility. While Li denies the allegations, the judge noted the evidence appears "devastating" and allowed the civil case to proceed. The case has drawn significant media coverage and public attention, also reviving discussions about Yuen's controversial past, including his promotion of a failed cloud mining scheme in Hong Kong that led to investor losses and police investigations.
