🚨MALONE LAM CRYPTO HEIST:$243 million in $BTC Stolen in a single phone call. By a 20-year-old who learned everything he knew from playing video games.
Malone Lam dropped out of school, spent his days playing GTA Online and Fortnite, and went by the alias "Greavys" online.
On August 18, 2024, he and two accomplices called an investor in Washington DC, posed as members of his exchange's security team, convinced him his account was compromised, and talked him into handing over his seed phrase. They drained the entire wallet before the call ended.
4,100 Bitcoin. Gone.
What followed was one of the most reckless spending sprees in crypto history. More than 28 exotic cars including Paganis, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. A $2 million wristwatch. Nightclub tabs of $400,000 to $500,000 per night in Los Angeles. Birkin bags handed out like party favors.
He also live-streamed parts of the hack to friends on Discord and was caught on camera bragging about the theft. His girlfriend was posting their location every night on Instagram.
The FBI arrested him in Miami just one month after the theft. He threw his phone into Biscayne Bay before they reached him. It did not help.
Lam was charged with federal conspiracy, fraud, and money laundering. The wider criminal network grew to 17 defendants with arrests stretching from Miami to Dubai.
The 4,100 Bitcoin he stole is now worth more than $384 million.
🚨 On this day in 2009;Daimler bought nearly 10% of Tesla for $50 million.
On this day in 2009, Daimler bought nearly 10% of Tesla for $50 million. At the time, Tesla was burning cash, had barely shipped a car, and most of the industry thought Elon Musk was out of his mind. Daimler saw enough to write the check anyway. That same 10% stake would be worth approximately $130 billion today. They sold it in 2014 to book a profit. A tidy gain at the time. One of the most expensive exits in automotive history in hindsight. $50 million in 2009. $130 billion today. And they sold early. #OpenAIToConfidentiallyFileForIPO #MillenniumCutsIBITAndETHA #NvidiaQ1RevenueLiftsBitcoinMiners #GrayscaleAcquires510KHYPEForStaking #USCongressRevivesCryptoTaxExemptionStudy $TSLA $NVDA $BTC

🚨 FINANCE NEWS:The S&P just put history on the screen 📈 💰
The S&P 500 ended at 7,126, the highest close in its history. For investors, that number carries two feelings at once: satisfaction for anyone who stayed invested, and a harder question about how much optimism is already built into prices.
A record like this is bigger than a line on a chart. It reflects earnings expectations, rate hopes, AI enthusiasm, and the steady pull of retirement money moving into index funds month after month. The fresh tension is simple: new highs don’t mean the market is fragile, but they do raise the standard for what companies have to deliver next.
Markets can celebrate and still demand discipline.

Sales of Tesla Cybertrucks have been propped up in recent months by Elon Musk’s other companies. SpaceX, the Musk-led rocket and satellite maker, accounted for 1,279 or more than 18% of the 7,071 Cybertrucks registered in the US during the fourth quarter, according to registration data that S&P Global Mobility provided to Bloomberg News. Musk’s other ventures acquired another 60 vehicles during those months. That means almost one in every five Cybertrucks registered during the period were delivered from one part of Musk’s sprawling business empire to another. And the purchases, likely exceeding $100 million in value, have continued into this year. The figures reinforce the extent to which consumer demand is faltering only two years after Tesla began delivering the electric pickup. Without those sales to other Musk-run companies — which included xAI, Boring Co. and Neuralink, in addition to SpaceX — Cybertruck registrations in the fourth quarter would have fallen 51%. #BitcoinPriceTrends #USInitialJoblessClaimsBelowForecast $TSLA $NVDA $MSFTon

The fund currently manages $121.3 billion in assets and has an expense ratio of 0.09%. Its top 10 holdings account for 59.5% of total assets. VGT tracks the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology 25/50 Index. It is heavily concentrated in mega-cap technology names, but also includes mid- and small-cap companies for broader sector coverage. The ETF has historically outperformed the broader S&P 500 over long horizons due to the rapid growth of the tech sector. Because it is 100% focused on technology, it carries higher risk and volatility than a diversified fund like VTI (Total Stock Market) or VOO (S&P 500). Vanguard announced an 8-for-1 share split effective April 21, 2026, which will lower the price per share to make it more accessible for smaller investors without changing the total value of holdings.$NVDA $MSFTon #BitcoinPriceTrends #CZ’sBinanceSquareAMA #USInitialJoblessClaimsBelowForecast
FINANCENEWS: Netflix (NFLX) drops 9% in after-hours trading despite beating Q1 2026 earnings on both top and bottom lines, as weak forward guidance weighs on the stock.
Netflix reported its Q1 2026 results after the bell:
Revenue: $12.25B (actual) vs $12.18B (estimated) EPS: $1.23 (actual) vs $0.76 (estimated)
The jump was boosted by the $2.8 billion termination fee tied to the Warner Bros. transaction, one of the biggest in the history of media mergers.
The primary driver of the sell-off appears to be weak forward guidance and concerns over the sustainability of its growth following the failed acquisition of Warner Bros.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, Netflix said it expects revenue growth of 13% and diluted earnings of $0.78 per share, below the $0.84 per share expected by Wall Street. Netflix reaffirmed its earlier annual revenue estimate of between $50.7 billion and $51.7 billion.
Following the collapse of the $72 billion Warner Bros deal, investors are scrutinizing Netflix's ability to maintain its dominant market share through organic content spending alone.
The market is wary of potential subscriber "churn" (cancellations) following the U.S. price increases implemented in March. While Netflix is trying to nudge users toward the ad-supported tier, the revenue from that segment is still considered small relative to its total valuation.
Alongside results, Netflix disclosed that its co‑founder and Chairman will leave the company’s board in June 2026, ending his 29‑year run at the streaming giant. #BitcoinPriceTrends $NVDA $TSLA
