March 12th, CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole noted that Bloomberg has reiterated its prediction: Bitcoin could drop to $10,000 — a price level not seen since mid-2020. Industry observers, however, call this forecast too absurd. Yet on Deribit, the largest crypto options trading platform, roughly $800 million in open interest is tied to put options with a $20,000 strike price, betting the token will fall below that level.

He faces up to 30 years in federal prison if convicted. Prosecutors say the Ponzi scheme ran from Jan
