Занимающий вторую строчку в списке самых богатых граждан Китая по версии журнала Forbes за 2001 год оказался осужден в Сингапуре за организацию многомиллионной финансовой пирамиды, замаскированной под криптоинвестиции.

В понедельник, 26 августа, Ян Бин (Yang Bin) был приговорен к шести годам тюремного заключения и штрафу в размере 16 000 сингапурских долларов ($12 284). 61-летний гражданин Китая и Нидерландов признал вину в создании и управлении фиктивной компанией A&A Blockchain Innovation, которая якобы владела парком оборудования для майнинга биткоинов из более чем 300 000 машин.

В приговоре суда говорится, что с 20 мая 2021 года по 15 февраля 2022 года A&A Blockchain предлагала инвесторам из Сингапура «высокодоходную схему денежного обращения и майнинга», обещая фиксированную ежедневную прибыль в размере около 0,5% от инвестиций.

Вместо этого руководство A&A Blockchain использовали так называемую схему денежного обращения Понци, направляя деньги более поздних инвесторов для выплаты доходов более ранним.

С августа 2021 года по февраль 2022-го A&A Blockchain управляла криптовалютной биржей, известной как AAEX Global и предлагавшей торговлю несколькими криптовалютами. У A&A Blockchain не было лицензии Валютного управления Сингапура (MAS) на предоставление платежных услуг.

По данным следствия, A&A Blockchain смогла привлечь более 700 инвесторов, которые вложили свои средства и потеряли около 6,7 млн сингапурских долларов ($5,14 млн).

Ранее Министерство общественной безопасности Китая сообщило, что 20 августа состоялась экстрадиция из Таиланда гражданина КНР Чжан Моу Му (Zhang Mou Mu), организатора криптовалютной пирамиды MBI Group, убытки инвесторов которой оцениваются в $14 млрд.

Breaking: Claude's Attempt on Riemann Hypothesis "Fails," but Accidentally Sets 37-Year Math Record

**AI Makes a Major Mathematical Leap While Failing at the Riemann Hypothesis** A research version of Anthropic's Claude AI was tasked with "seriously attempting" the legendary Riemann Hypothesis, a 167-year-old unsolved problem in mathematics. While it ultimately did not prove the hypothesis, its attempt yielded a significant breakthrough. Claude managed to improve the proven lower bound for the proportion of Riemann zeta function zeros lying on the critical line from 41.6% to 67.2%. This marks a 25.6 percentage point increase, described by observers as potentially the most substantial advance in analytic number theory in over a decade, considering that the previous record had only improved by 0.8 percentage points over 37 years. To achieve this, Claude generated and discarded roughly 650 initial ideas before orchestrating a day-and-a-half-long effort involving about 60 sub-agents. These agents executed 2,400 shell commands, wrote hundreds of Python scripts, and performed thousands of numerical checks. After finding the potential result, Claude initiated self-verification, downloaded papers to check for prior work, and independently re-derived the finding. It then suggested writing a formal paper. The result has been reviewed by Anthropic's internal mathematicians, who also collaborated with Claude to produce a formal, machine-checkable proof using the Lean theorem prover. External experts in the field have also reviewed the manuscript. Anthropic clarifies that the method likely does not directly lead to a full proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, but it demonstrates that advanced AI models are beginning to engage with genuine, open-ended research problems at the frontier of mathematical knowledge.

The Unaffordable Failure of Yushu's IPO

Yushu Robotics' IPO is not just a typical public offering; it represents a pivotal moment for China's humanoid robot industry. With a staggering 219x P/E ratio at issuance and immense market enthusiasm, the company's listing is seen as a critical test case for the entire sector. The IPO reveals Yushu's rapid transition from quadruped consumer robots to humanoid robots, which now account for over 50% of its revenue, alongside a shift to profitability. The offering was massively oversubscribed, with retail investors scrambling for scarce shares, while the majority of the stock is held by locked-up strategic investors like DeepSeek. The core tension lies in the market's valuation. Investors are not buying Yushu's current profits but its future potential as a leader in general-purpose humanoid hardware. However, challenges are evident: revenue heavily depends on research/education clients rather than industrial applications, selling prices are falling faster than costs, and the company is still developing its own AI "brain" for true autonomous decision-making. As the first major humanoid robot company on China's A-share market, Yushu's post-listing performance will set a valuation benchmark for the industry. A wide range of stakeholders, from venture capitalists to strategic partners, have a vested interest in its success. The real test, however, will be Yushu's ability to transition its sales to core industrial clients, maintain margins amid price competition, and successfully integrate advanced AI, thereby justifying its premium valuation.

On-chain Pokemon Card Packs Cool Down for the First Time, Is Speculative Capital Turning to Memecoins?

On-Chain Gashapon (Digital Collectible Cards) Experiences First Cooldown Since February, Speculative Capital Shifts to Memecoins? The on-chain gashapon (digital collectible card) market saw its first monthly decline since February 2026, with July transaction volume dropping to $290.3 million from a record $354.8 million in June. Meanwhile, memecoin platform activity, exemplified by Pump.fun, increased. This suggests potential rotation of crypto speculative capital—some card traders may shift focus when memecoin momentum returns. Notably, Courtyard, likely with the least crypto-native user base, bucked the trend by hitting a record $85.3 million in July, indicating resilient genuine collector demand. While overall secondary trading card volume remained near record highs, leading crypto-native platforms like Collector Crypt saw a 26% MoM drop. Analysis points to this being a natural market correction, possibly amplified by the resurgence in memecoin speculation rather than a fundamental weakening of the digital collectibles market. Concurrently, broader crypto market volatility and correlations have declined, leaving a sustained BTC price rise as the final perceived catalyst for a new bull cycle.

Indices Strong, Natural Gas Soars | TradeXYZ Weekend Market Watch

Weekend Market Observations: Indices Show Strength, Natural Gas Surges Key regional developments centered on Iran. Iran and Oman indicated negotiations over reopening a key shipping channel are nearing completion, with Oman calling for a halt to military actions to facilitate an agreement. However, talks are stalled as Iran has raised its demands, linking Strait reopening to conditions like US sanctions relief, troop withdrawal, and war reparations—terms previously associated with nuclear talks. Iran's Revolutionary Guard stated it will maintain control until all demands are met. In response, the US administration has adopted a lower-key approach, describing a state of "semi-negotiations" while observing Iran's economic pressures. Amid this, reported attacks on a Saudi refinery and an Emirati vessel added to regional tensions. **Crude Oil & Indices:** Crude oil (CL) experienced volatility, initially dipping on comments from Iran's president before recovering. Prices later rose toward $79 after the US signaled a shift toward economic pressure over military escalation. Major equity indices (SP500, XYZ100) posted modest gains (0.13%, 0.22% respectively), demonstrating resilience despite rising oil prices. **Individual Stocks:** The market saw mixed sector performance. Memory stocks were divided (Micron up, SK Hynix down). The optical communications sector was strongest, with MRVL and LITE both gaining around 2.4%. Crypto-related stocks rebounded in pre-market trading after an early dip, closing higher. **Commodity Futures:** Precious and industrial metals (gold, silver, copper) advanced over the weekend, with futures showing V-shaped recoveries. The standout performer was natural gas, surging 3.10% at the open. The primary driver is a forecast for sustained hotter weather into mid-August across the southern and eastern US, boosting power generation demand. This is compounded by tighter supply margins due to pipeline maintenance, a slight dip in dry gas production, and high utilization of LNG export terminals.
