Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky's Trial Date Postponed by U.S. District Judge

Image
Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky's trial start date has been postponed by U.S. District Judge John Koeltl due to the "volume of discovery" and the "complexity of the case." This decision grants the United States Department of Justice additional time for discovery, allowing them to provide related documents to Mashinsky's defense team. In an order issued on July 25, Judge Koeltl stated that the time between July 25 and Oct. 3 will not be considered for Speedy Trial Act calculations, which require a federal criminal trial to commence within 70 days of an indictment being filed. The judge justified the continuance, prioritizing the interests of justice over the defendant's right to a speedy trial. Under the law, prosecutors are obligated to disclose any information that could be beneficial to Mashinsky's defense and relevant to the Read more about Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky's Trial Date Postponed by U.S. District Judge #Celsius, #Cryptocurre...

UK Data Regulator to Investigate Worldcoin Crypto Project Co-Founded by OpenAI's CEO

Image
After its recent release, Worldcoin (WLD), a cryptocurrency project co-founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, might come under scrutiny from the UK's data regulator.

Worldcoin launched on Monday, July 24, but it has received criticism primarily due to its iris-scanning feature. The project rewards individuals with WLD coins for scanning their irises. The initiative plans to introduce these tokens, called "orbs," in more than 35 cities across 20 countries, with London being one of them. The Information Commissioner's Office stated that they are aware of Worldcoin's launch in the UK and will conduct further inquiries into the Read more about UK Data Regulator to Investigate Worldcoin Crypto Project Co-Founded by OpenAI's CEO #Adoption, #Bitcoin, #Blockchain, #Cr...

Arkham Rewards $5k Bounty for Information on Do Kwon and Terra Wallets

Image
In a notable development, a platform focused on "deanonymizing the blockchain" has received its first submission concerning wallet addresses associated with Terraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon. On July 24, Arkham Intel Exchange announced that it had accepted a submission from two "on-chain sleuths," who were rewarded with 9,519.2625 Arkham (ARKM) tokens, valued at roughly $5,000 at the time of the announcement.

In a tweet on July 25, Pal speculated that Elon Musk might employ Dogecoin for facilitating global payments to content creators on the platform. He pointed out that Musk already holds a significant portion of Dogecoin and has displayed a fondness for the cryptocurrency in the past. With these factors in mind, Pal surmised that Musk's affinity for Dogecoin could lead to its utilization in enabling t Read more about Twitter's (X) Potential Integration of Dogecoin Sparks Speculation #Cryptomarket, #Cryptonewstoday, #Dogecoin, ...
