    Mar 7 2023

    BlockFi - The 55 million Robinhood shares SBF pledged to Zac Prince are being called into bankruptcy, and the BlockFi lawyers are suggesting this is a  bad faith move to make the situation more complex.

    Celsius - The UCC in Celsius is trying to enforce clawbacks from retail users who withdrew funds within 90 days before the bankruptcy.   

    Anti-CBDC Act - Crypto-friendly congressman Tom Emmer just introduced a new Bill that will block the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC in the US, working on a CBDC in private, or using a CBDC to control the economy.  Operation Choke Point - a description of all the pressure to the crypto industry from banks in the past few months.

  • BLOCKFI NEW UPDATE FOR FEBRUARY 2023 | CUSTOMER WITHDRAWALS!
    Jan 30 2023

    A new report from CNBC.com shows that BlockFi had over 1.2 million tied up with FTX. Almost half of Blockfi’s assets were tied to FTX.  

    The lawyers for Celsius said the bids were lowball, and they didn’t consider selling the assets. Instead, they are trying to create an equity offering, so creditors get equity in the mining company, similar to what Simon Dixon proposed in the summer. There would be a fund that would have access to all litigation recovery, and the recovery token could pay dividends.  

    Celsius said they would not apply for licenses, so they need to find a partner to help facilitate the reorganization.
