Hardware wallet dealer CryptoBilis announced that, due to Ledger investigating a case involving fund losses for Southeast Asian users, the company has suspended all sales and shipments of Ledger devices and is cooperating with Ledger's investigation. Ledger previously stated that it is investigating reports of fund losses from Southeast Asian users who purchased products from this dealer, and as a precaution, has requested CryptoBilis to suspend the sales and shipments of related devices, advising users who purchased devices in the past 90 days not to set them up if they have not completed initialization.CryptoBilis reminds users who have completed setup to follow Ledger's advice and transfer their assets to a new Ledger signing device generated with a new mnemonic phrase. It emphasizes that the mnemonic phrase must be generated by the device during initialization and handwritten by the user; if the device comes with a pre-printed or written mnemonic card or paper, or if the mnemonic has been seen by others, the wallet should be considered unsafe, and users should not disclose their mnemonic phrase or PIN to anyone. The notice also warns to be cautious of third parties claiming to assist in recovering lost funds, as such proposals are often scams.For users who have already experienced fund losses, CryptoBilis recommends contacting their official customer service channels and providing the order number, purchase time and location, device serial number, affected wallet address, and transaction ID, while keeping the device and packaging, not resetting or discarding them, and suggests reporting to the police. The company stated that it will not send users links requesting them to connect wallets, input mnemonic phrases, or install software.

Former FTX Chief Operating Officer Constance Wang posted on X on Friday that many people have messaged her to discuss the full trailer of the FTX-themed series "The Altruists" released by Netflix this week, and after watching it, she felt "physically sick."Wang served as FTX's Chief Operating Officer since early 2019 and was co-CEO in the last few months before the exchange's collapse until the crash in November 2022. She stated that the companies depicted in the trailer bear little resemblance to her work experience, mentioning that she was one of the last people to leave the Bahamas after Sam Bankman-Fried was extradited, losing everything in the process and taking a long time to recover, with no intention of defending those responsible for the situation.She also noted that the media enjoys the narrative of "FTX blowing up because everyone was partying in the Bahamas," but her workplace was nothing like that. The series is an eight-episode limited series, set to premiere on Netflix on November 19, and the approximately two-minute trailer has sparked criticism of the portrayals of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison.
