FBI Alert: a fake token using the name of the American agency seeks to scam users of #Tron
Scammers are using the image of the FBI to make users believe that they are under investigation. They are doing this using a TRC-20 cryptocurrency that takes the name of the American agency. No, the FBI does not offer cryptocurrency. If this statement seemed obvious a few years ago, it is no longer the case today, as the President of the United States is proposing his memecoin and the Federal Reserve is praising predictive markets. For unsuspecting users, the line between plausibility and fiction can sometimes seem thin. This is, in any case, what scammers are betting on, who use the image of the FBI to try to deceive their victims. They have thus created a TRC20 token on Tron, the "Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)." Scammers proceed as follows: they send their victims an FBI token, accompanied by the following message:
FBI MESSAGE: Verify your identity now. Your wallet is under investigation. To avoid total blocking of your assets, please complete the anti-money laundering identity verification process immediately, via our site. The site referenced in the message, still online at the time of writing these lines, is a fake "verification" form. The user is invited to provide their name, email address, and phone number, before connecting their wallet. Those who fall for the trap will of course never see their funds again. In its message, the FBI (the real one, this time) invites victims of this scam to report themselves. Do not provide any personal information to any site associated with this type of token. If you have received this "FBI token" and have provided your information on their site, please file a report.
A Silicon Valley executive arrested for illegally supplying billions of dollars in AI technology to China
Yih-Shyan Liaw, the co-founder of Supermicro, has just been arrested by U.S. federal authorities. He is alleged to have led a vast smuggling network of AI intended for China. At 71 years old, Yih-Shyan Liaw co-founded Supermicro alongside CEO Charles Liang. The Silicon Valley company has been in existence since 1993 and is a key player in the artificial intelligence sector. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Yih-Shyan Liaw allegedly used his position to sell billions of dollars worth of AI technologies to China, in violation of import laws: The defendants participated in an organized scheme to divert massive quantities of servers housing American artificial intelligence technologies for the benefit of clients in China. To do this, Yih-Shyan Liaw and his accomplices allegedly set up a complex system to circumvent inspections and facilitate these massive shipments: The indictment unveiled today details the alleged attempts to circumvent U.S. export laws using false documents, staged photographs intended to deceive inspectors, and diverted routing channels to conceal the true destination of the AI technologies.

Is Ripple spending billions to find a use for its XRP token?
As the XRP Ledger blockchain records a notable increase in its activity, XRP continues to show largely negative performance over the past year. Could the 4 billion dollars invested by Ripple since 2023 in strategic company buybacks have no effect?
Why isn't XRP benefiting?
A situation that could - all things considered - resemble the paradox currently affecting the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain, with institutional activity rising sharply and Ether (ETH) simultaneously showing disappointing performance.
Indeed, XRP is currently down 60% from its last historical peak in July 2025 at around 3.65 dollars. This calls into question the previously established pattern that implies a mathematical increase in the token of a blockchain when its activity rises.
A journalist threatened with death by Polymarket bettors regarding an Iranian strike in Israel
Placing morbid bets on military strikes in wartime no longer seems sufficient for Polymarket bettors, as they now threaten journalists to demand that they rewrite the news in their favor. A case concerning an Iranian strike on Israeli soil officially reported by the Times of Israel, where the bet represented a total volume of 20 million dollars.
Betting on war: predictive markets adrift
The freedom offered by the cryptocurrency sector often collides with the obvious lack of ethics of some of its users, clearly determined to take advantage of this absence of framework to enrich themselves in any way possible, even if it means betting on acts of war. A reality associated with the strong popularity recorded by predictive market platforms over the past year, recently brought to light following the initiation of American and Israeli strikes in Iran, even if the first detected cases involve the conflict in Ukraine.
His wife steals 172 million dollars in Bitcoin using surveillance cameras
Ping Fai Yuen accuses his ex-wife, Fun Yung Li, of orchestrating the theft of 2,323 BTC, estimated at around 60 million dollars in August 2023, at the time of the events, now exceeding 172 million with the recent rise in the price of Bitcoin. Contrary to what one might imagine, no sophisticated hacking would have been necessary. According to the evidence presented in court, the wife simply used the surveillance cameras installed in their own home.
Binance accused by the Wall Street Journal of helping Iran evade sanctions, the platform takes legal action
According to several articles published on February 23 and this Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal claims that financial flows transiting through the Binance platform may be linked to armed groups close to Iran, particularly the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Citing internal documents and sources close to the case, the newspaper mentions the existence of more than one billion dollars in suspicious transactions that may have circulated via the platform. These revelations may have drawn the attention of U.S. authorities. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly launched an investigation to determine whether Binance, some of its users, or third-party intermediaries may have facilitated these financial flows. The goal of the investigation would be to assess the extent to which these transactions may have allowed Iranian entities to evade the international sanctions imposed by the United States. In response to these accusations, Binance contests the claims made by the Wall Street Journal. The exchange believes that the information published by the newspaper is based on erroneous interpretations and would harm its reputation. The company also claims that these articles may have contributed to triggering unjustified government investigations. For this reason, Binance announced that it has filed a defamation lawsuit against the media outlet. The platform explains that it wants to correct the published information and defend the trust of its users and partners. In a statement, Binance also highlights the efforts made in recent years to strengthen its compliance program.
Decode crypto wallet addresses for stress-free transactions
Crypto transactions all rely on accuracy: a single wrong character in a wallet address can lead to the loss of funds. To protect your assets, it is crucial to understand wallet address formats and how they work.
Think of wallet addresses like email addresses, but for blockchain transactions. Each cryptocurrency has its own unique format:
- Bitcoin: Legacy (starts with "1"), SegWit (starts with "3"), or native SegWit (starts with "bc1"). - Ethereum: hexadecimal addresses that always start with "0x" and are 42 characters long.
This matters because sending Bitcoin to someone using the correct format ensures that the transaction reaches the right recipient. Address formats also include checksums to minimize errors, making it easier to catch typos before sending funds.
Key tips for secure transactions: 1. Double-check: Always verify the address before confirming a transaction. 2. Understand related terms: Know your public/private keys, wallets (hot and cold), and transaction IDs. 3. Stay vigilant about fees: Be aware of gas fees and ensure they are sufficient to avoid delays.
By mastering wallet address formats and related terms, you can navigate crypto transactions with confidence. Always double-check before hitting "send": itโs your safety net in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies!
