**March 27 (AXIOS) — U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is gearing up for what may be the biggest task of his career: leading U.S. efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran conflict, with his push rooted in a reluctance to escalate hostilities.** Pence has already held multiple phone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and engaged in indirect communications with Iranian officials, positioning himself to become the U.S.’s lead negotiator for potential peace talks. U.S. and Israeli sources tell AXIOS Pence is deeply skeptical of Israel’s pre-war optimistic assessments that the conflict would last just a few weeks. Pence’s advisors allege there are efforts within Israel to undermine him, possibly over concerns he’s not tough enough — a claim Israeli officials deny. White House officials note Pence’s government experience and longstanding opposition to endless overseas wars make him a more palatable interlocutor for the U.S. with Iranian counterparts than his predecessors,

March 27 (Caixin) — Over two months after Chen Zhi, founder of Cambodia’s Prince Group, was detained, the UK has imposed additional sanctions on a Southeast Asian fraud network—including Hu Xiaowei, a close associate of Chen. The UK government labeled Hu Chen’s “longtime partner” in the Prince Group, noting ties to private servers of the game *Legend*. The pair later co-founded companies both in China and overseas. The sanctions notice, published on the UK government’s website March 26, targets multiple individuals and entities linked to the Prince Group. Thirty-eight-year-old Chen was born in a fishing village in Fujian. He previously ran an internet café and worked as a network administrator, launching his career as a hacker by seizing control of *Legend* private servers. More than a decade ago, he moved to Southeast Asia and became a Cambodian citizen. Within years, he controlled a global online fraud network, raking in millions daily from his “Duke” role and amassing a net wo

March 27 — Per data from GMGN, Solana-based meme coin WhiteWhale has plummeted roughly 50% today, with a current market cap of $12 million and 24-hour trading volume of $5.4 million. Renowned trader The White Whale announced his formal departure from WhiteWhale’s leadership role today, having permanently locked 5 billion WhiteWhale tokens in one transaction—valued at approximately $13 million at the time of locking. His exit stems primarily from a family crisis, compounded by ongoing community demands for “more aggressive price pumps,” which left him exhausted and gradually eroded his passion for cryptocurrency. The meme coin was initially created by fans using The White Whale’s avatar from platform X and Hyperliquid. It was later taken over by the trader himself, who significantly increased his holdings through large-scale purchases. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, relying heavily on market sentiment and hype. These tokens have no real valu
