Well I just paid off the remainder of my credit card ($500) with some of the profits from this latest cryptocurrency bull run. Also bought a new Trezor Safe 3 wallet now that they have a secure element as I want to shift to completely open source solutions when possible. So I spent a little Bitcoin to get that.
Waiting for Bitcoin to peak a little more and will prepay a few more months of @mastohost as well as @protonprivacy
Crypto Scammer Sam Bankman-Fried Gets 25 Year Prison Sentence
One federal probation officer recommend Bankman-Fried spend 100 years behind bars, and he was eventually awarded a 25 year prison sentence for his stealing from his crypto customers.
Disgraced former billionaire and FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud. Decrypt looks at how many years he might actually serve in prison.
He has also been ordered to pay the $11 billion monetary judgment requested by the prosecution. This is on top of assets already seized by the government.
#Sam#Bankman-#Fried, once the CEO of #FTX and a billionaire wunderkind of the #cryptocurrency world, will be sentenced to prison time on Thursday in New York City.
Should the judge in his case impose the harshest penalty allowed, the 32-year-old would face more than 100 years and die an incarcerated man, a possibility his lawyer has called “grotesque.”
In advance of the hearing, lawyers for the US Department of Justice and for Bankman-Fried have engaged in bitter back-and-forth over how long of a prison sentence would be appropriate.
His lawyers have argued for a minimal sentence of just six years.
Prosecutors are advocating for 40-50 years for his “unmatched greed and hubris” in perpetrating the🔸 $8bn (£6.3bn) fraud.🔸
Welchen Browser ihr am besten für mehr Sicherheit und Privatsphäre nutzen solltet, könnt ihr auf @privacytests herausfinden. Geschmackssache und Argumente sind nicht das selbe und helfen selten für eine korrekte technische Entscheidung. Nicht nur Privat sondern hoffentlich auch innerhalb von Firmen.
The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers. Some of that has come from its marketing as a privacy-preserving web browser, and it has also been repeatedly evangelized by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
I've now received 3 separate emails asking me to sell my potential share of the upcoming Fluence Network cryptocurrency airdrop. This project aims at rewarding the "~110,000 developers who contributed into open source web3 repositories during last year" according to the project webpage. In order to do this "Public keys of selected Github accounts were added into a smart contract on Ethereum" which they stored in a single file hosted on AWS that their own "install" script fetches in order to generate proof of GitHub account ownership.
So you can check any GitHub account eligibility on the Fluence website, of course, but you can also obtain the conveniently complete list of 108,615 eligible GitHub accounts to spam with your stupid cryptocurrency acquisition request. I've pulled down my email address from my public profile in the hope that it will stem the tide, but that's yet another possibly well-meaning Web3 project that ends up abused within seconds of its inception because of poorly thought-out process.
Also I never contributed to any web3 repository, so I'm vaguely curious how they compiled this list of accounts but not that much either.
Honduras Ratchets Up Battle With Crypto-Libertarian Investors, Rejects World Bank Court
After the Honduran president repealed a law granting unfettered authority to outside investors, the cryptoquistadors took the dispute to a World Bank arbitration court.
