Saipan Woman Sentenced to 71 Months for Bitcoin Fraud Against Elderly Woman

2026.04.28 11:17:20

April 28: A U.S. federal court sentenced Saipan resident Sze Man Yu Inos—also known as “Yuki”—to 71 months in prison for her role in a Bitcoin-related scam. In an April 27 statement, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said the 30-year-old fraudster targeted elderly women in Saipan and Guam in a telecommunications fraud scheme spanning November 2020 to January 2022. She falsely claimed to come from a wealthy Chinese family and had found success investing in Bitcoin. To gain their trust, she built emotional bonds with victims—often telling them, “You’re like a mother to me”—before persuading them to invest in the cryptocurrency. She later expanded the scam to victims in Washington State and California. Beyond the prison term, the court ordered her to pay $769,355 in total restitution and imposed a $684,848 criminal forfeiture judgment. Recent reports note a growing trend in cryptocurrency-related fraud, with losses hitting a record $11.3 billion last year.

UBS: Global AI sector capital expenditure will rise to $1.4 trillion by 2027, with 90% of the increase driven by memory price hikes.

UBS currently forecasts that global artificial intelligence (AI) capital expenditure will reach nearly $1 trillion in 2026, and climb further to around $1.4 trillion in 2027, with a sharp surge in memory costs being the primary driver of this growth. UBS estimates that memory-related spending will jump from $71 billion in 2025 to $367 billion this year, and hit $923 billion in 2027. The remaining AI-related costs are projected to total $631 billion in 2026, before falling to $525 billion in 2027. This means that the rise in memory costs will contribute roughly 60% of the total increase in AI capital expenditure this year; by 2027, as spending on other components declines, the growth in memory costs will even exceed the entire net increase in AI capital expenditure.

Peter Schiff: SEC’s Innovation Exemption for Tokenized Stocks Is Bad for Bitcoin

Longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff argued in a post that Bitcoin’s sharp surge following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s announcement on tokenized stocks is meaningless. In reality, this news is bearish for Bitcoin, as the cryptocurrency now has to compete with tokenized securities. Tokens backed by profitable, dividend-paying companies hold an advantage over asset-less tokens in terms of digital ownership, and are also more reliable stores of value. Tokenized stocks offer all the conveniences of Bitcoin while eliminating the risk of a decentralized Ponzi scheme collapse.
