UK Authorities Resume Investigation into Nigel Farage's Crypto Gifts After By-Election Victory

British politician Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, is again under investigation by the UK Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards after winning a by-election. The probe, concerning undeclared financial interests, relates to millions in donations and gifts from crypto industry figures: billionaire Christopher Harborne and convicted fraudster George Cottrell, linked to a crypto casino. The investigation was paused when Farage resigned his parliamentary seat but resumed following his re-election as MP for Clacton, where he won 63% of the vote in a contest largely boycotted by major parties. Parliamentary rules require new MPs to register financial interests. Farage initially described Cottrell’s contribution as a Brexit campaign “reward” but later termed both men's funds as unconditional "gifts." A breach of rules could lead to suspension and trigger another by-election. Meanwhile, amid the scandal, Labour MPs reportedly seek to make a temporary ban on crypto donations permanent to counter potential foreign influence.

UK authorities continue probe into Nigel Farage’s crypto ‘gifts’ after by-election win

UK authorities have resumed an investigation into Reform UK leader Nigel Farage over alleged failure to declare significant "gifts" from figures linked to the crypto industry, following his victory in a parliamentary by-election. The probe, paused after his July resignation, restarted after he was re-elected as MP for Clacton. It centers on a $6.7 million donation from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne and funding for staff and security from George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster tied to a crypto casino. Under parliamentary rules, MPs must register financial interests. Farage has described the contributions as unconditional gifts. If found in breach, he faces possible suspension, which could trigger another by-election. Separately, amid the scandal, Labour lawmakers are reportedly pushing to make a temporary ban on crypto donations permanent to curb potential foreign influence.

FTX Scenario? BitMart Accused of Issues With Withdrawals and Insolvency

Cryptocurrency exchange BitMart, which previously announced its closure, is facing accusations of insolvency and withdrawal issues, drawing comparisons to the FTX collapse. Despite announcing a gradual wind-down until January 2027 and assuring users they could withdraw assets, reports emerged of significant problems shortly after. On-chain analysts noted unusually low withdrawal volumes, with some users reporting failed or stuck transactions. BitMart's CEO, Sheldon Xia, eventually broke the company's silence on August 8, 2026, claiming the team was consolidating assets for an orderly shutdown and denied misappropriating funds, mentioning potential court and auditor involvement. However, new complaints arose. A user named BeardStaff claimed $10.1 million was stuck, while Matthew Wang, co-founder of market maker OpenGradient, accused BitMart of insolvency, noting his firm's funds were also trapped. Wang highlighted a suspicious offer from BitMart for high-yield, locked staking just a week before the closure announcement. Numerous other users reported being unable to withdraw sums ranging from thousands to millions of dollars. Several crypto projects, including Gen6, Paxi Network, and Scandic Coin, are pursuing legal action. Data from Arkham Intelligence shows BitMart's wallet holdings have plummeted from over $100 million in early July 2026 to around $36.4 million, while CoinMarketCap data indicates reserves are only $4.6 million, mostly in BitMart's native BMX token.

Cryptocurrency Charity Project by Former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern Ceases Operations

The AB Foundation, an Irish nonprofit led by former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, is being liquidated after reportedly failing to operate beyond its initial launch event. Founded in early 2025 by the crypto firm AB, the foundation was promoted as a blockchain and AI initiative for transparent global charity funding and assembled an advisory network of nearly 30 former heads of state. Despite claiming a $1.9 million donation for a Hong Kong fire relief effort in late 2025, official filings indicate it never conducted business operations and never held a formal meeting. The foundation faced controversy over reported links between AB and a sanctioned Cambodian conglomerate, as well as its name's association with a proposed cryptocurrency resort development in Timor-Leste involving a Chinese-linked businessman. Ahern has denied any connection to the Timor-Leste project or sanctioned groups. The voluntary strike-off process will officially end the short-lived crypto-philanthropy venture.

The Naked Fall of a Crypto OG: Harry Yeh's Wealth, Gambles, and the Final Dawn

The mysterious death of cryptocurrency investor Harry "Chun Tak" Yeh, founder of Quantum Fintech Group, is under investigation in Asunción, Paraguay. On August 7, 2026, his fully nude body was found covered by a black plastic bag after a fall from the 30th floor of a luxury apartment. His apartment was found open and ransacked, with no one inside. Authorities are considering accident, suicide, or homicide—including a potential "wrench attack" targeting crypto holders for their assets. Yeh's career epitomized the crypto boom. Starting with a $500 Bitcoin investment in 2013, he built funds claiming over $24 billion in assets under management. His peak came during the 2021 DeFi surge on the Fantom blockchain, where he reportedly grew the Tomb Finance project's value from $2.5 million to $1.6 billion in four months. He was a frequent speaker at industry events and moved in circles from Miami to Dubai. The circumstances of his death in Paraguay, far from his usual bases in Abu Dhabi and Miami, raise urgent questions about the physical security risks faced by visible crypto figures, as violent crimes targeting holders for private keys are reportedly rising. The case underscores the extreme volatility and dangers—both financial and physical—in the cryptocurrency world. Final conclusions await the official autopsy and investigation results.

Reform UK leader calls for investigation into donation linked to SBF: Report

The leader of the UK's Reform party has called for an investigation into a political donation linked to former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). This follows reports that UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting received £50,000 in 2022-23 from the think tank "Labour for the Long Term," whose founder allegedly received a £675,000 gift from SBF. Streeting stated he requested a donor list, which did not include SBF's name, and the think tank's founder claimed the funds came from another source. The call for a probe comes as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces his own controversy over crypto-linked donations totaling millions, which he describes as "gifts." The situation highlights potential loopholes in UK political funding laws. In a separate development, a U.S. appeals court upheld SBF's 25-year prison sentence for fraud convictions, leaving him few legal avenues for appeal.

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.

Former FBI Agent Arrested for $1 Million Cryptocurrency Theft

Former FBI agent Patrick Steven Yaroch has been arrested and charged with stealing approximately $1 million in cryptocurrency. According to court documents, he allegedly misappropriated the funds from wallets related to investigations into foreign states, including Russia. Yaroch, who held a supervisory role, used his access to internal FBI systems to obtain the seed phrases for these wallets and conducted around 12 transactions to transfer the assets to his own accounts. In late July 2026, Yaroch voluntarily confessed to a U.S. Department of Justice official, expressing regret for his actions. He reportedly used ChatGPT for investment advice and planned to relocate to Portugal following the theft. The case highlights the risks associated with internal access to seized crypto assets within law enforcement. Similar incidents have occurred in the past, such as in 2015 when federal agents involved in the Silk Road investigation stole Bitcoin. The technical vulnerability lies in the fact that government-controlled wallets often lack robust security measures like multi-signature schemes, concentrating risk with a single administrator. Yaroch has been dismissed from the FBI and remains under arrest, facing charges of interstate transportation and receipt of stolen property. The case is currently under judicial review.

Founder of Today's Most Talked-About Altcoin Sells Nearly All His Tokens!

Notable selling activity is occurring with the ASTEROID tokens, reportedly launched by a former BNB Chain employee. According to Lookonchain, the token's developer has made an approximate profit of $628,000 by selling a significant portion of holdings. Data shows the former employee bought 796.7 million ASTEROID tokens (79.67% of the total supply) for $10,000 via four newly created wallets shortly after the token's creation. Subsequently, 718.8 million tokens were sold on the market for approximately 1,103 BNB (~$638,000), resulting in the substantial profit after deducting the initial investment. BNB Chain previously stated that the former employee had unauthorized access to a seed phrase linked to the company's official test wallet and used it to mine the ASTEROID memecoin. The company emphasized that ASTEROID was not created, authorized, or endorsed by BNB Chain and announced it has initiated legal proceedings against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant government authorities.

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.
