Arkham: 45,000 BTC Found Untouched by German Government, Potentially Still Controlled by Movie2K Operator

5 hours ago

On September 6th, Arkham announced via social media that the organization has located 5 billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin that the German government failed to confiscate. Previously, in early 2024, the German police seized 49,858 bitcoins from the operator of the video piracy website Movie2K. In July 2024, these bitcoins were sold at an average price of $57,900, resulting in a profit of $2.89 billion. However, Arkham's research uncovered another Bitcoin cluster associated with Movie2K's early operations. This cluster consists of approximately 45,000 bitcoins (worth $4.99 billion) and has not been moved since 2019. These bitcoins are stored in more than 100 Bitcoin wallets and are likely still under the control of the Movie2K operator. The scale of this batch is almost equivalent to the seized bitcoins. The German government's statement did not mention this additional batch of bitcoins and did not incorporate them into the initial "emergency sale" plan.

J.P. Morgan Strategist: U.S. Economic Growth is Gradually Slowing, Does Not Believe Fed Rate Cuts Will Fuel Growth

On September 6th, David Kelly, the Chief Global Strategist of JPMorgan Asset Management, stated in a recent interview with CNBC that the weak August jobs report and other economic data suggest that the weakening trend of the US economy is intensifying. "Although the current economy is not in a recession, it is gradually slowing down. All data consistently show that this already stumbling economy - like a tortoise always moving slowly forward - is now almost exhausted." Kelly also believes that given the deterioration of the job market data, the Fed's expected rate cut will not be able to boost the overall economy. "I see today's stock market rise, which clearly reflects the market's expectation of an imminent rate cut. However, this does not solve the fundamental problem. The government needs to realize that if they cut rates now, it will reduce the interest income of retirees while sending more rate cut signals to the market. In that case, borrowers have no reason to borrow more mone

Mizuho Bank: The Fed Has Been Realistically "Face-Slapped," Easing Cycle Set to Begin

September 6th. Mizuho Bank declared that the U.S. August non-farm payroll report further verified the weakening tendency in the labor market. The growth in employment, working hours, and income has regressed to the levels during the pandemic period. Regardless of inflation, it is almost certain that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at the September meeting. A 25-basis-point rate cut is almost a certainty. However, if August inflation is weaker than expected, a 50-basis-point cut is more likely. The Fed's previous inflation forecasts have been "slapped in the face" by reality, while its 2026 unemployment rate forecast is at risk of not being achieved. They were overly pessimistic about inflation before and overly optimistic about the labor market. It is expected that the Fed will initiate a round of sustained easing cycle, aiming to lower interest rates to its perceived "neutral level" by March 2026, which is around 3%. The new Fed chair is likely to further increase stimulus

Do Kwon's Appeal for the Return of $19.4 Million SGD Mansion Deposit Rejected by Singapore Court

On September 6th, according to the report in The Straits Times, Do Kwon, the co-founder of the now-defunct blockchain company Terraform Labs, had his request to recover about 50% of the purchase price of a penthouse on Orchard Road rejected by the High Court of Singapore. Five months prior to the collapse of his cryptocurrency TerraUSD and Luna in 2022, Do Kwon had his eyes set on the $38.8 million Sculptura Ardmore apartment. High Court documents reviewed by The Straits Times show that he had selected a 7,600 square feet (approximately 706 square meters) duplex four-bedroom penthouse on the 19th floor of the apartment, which was one of only three penthouses in the development. Do Kwon had paid around $19.4 million (about 50% of the total purchase price) through an option fee and subsequent payments. However, the deal fell through, and the property was subsequently resold to another party for $34.5 million. It is reported that Sculptura Ardmore was launched by develope
