ChainCatcher news, according to LatePost, Meitu CEO Wu Xinhong stated, "The previous company's blind diversification strategy was mostly led by me, rather than Cai Wensheng. I don't want to comment on Meitu's cryptocurrency purchases anymore, as it has become a thing of the past.From the board's voting at that time, I also voted in favor of Meitu's cryptocurrency purchases; I just regarded it as an investment. In terms of results, it indeed turned out to be a good return on investment. At the end of last year, Meitu sold all the cryptocurrencies it held, earning 570 million yuan, and 80% of the profits were distributed as dividends to shareholders.However, if I could go back in time, I might prefer to use that money to find some good teams that could synergize with our business. Sometimes, even when performance has clearly improved, if Bitcoin crashes, our stock price immediately drops, but when Bitcoin rises, our stock price doesn't increase."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, on May 30, the U.S. government submitted documents to the Supreme Court requesting to dismiss Coinbase user James Harper's appeal against the IRS's acquisition of his cryptocurrency transaction records. Attorney General D. John Sauer stated that under the Fourth Amendment, Harper does not have a right to privacy regarding the financial records stored on Coinbase, as this data was "voluntarily" shared with the exchange, and the IRS obtained it through lawful judicial procedures.The case stems from the IRS's cryptocurrency tax investigation in 2016, when the agency discovered that a large number of Coinbase users had not reported their crypto gains, subsequently obtaining a "John Doe" subpoena requiring the exchange to submit records of high-volume users. Harper filed a lawsuit claiming this constituted an unconstitutional search, but lower courts ruled that Coinbase records are commercial documents rather than personal private documents, and the IRS's actions were lawful.The government cited precedents such as United States v. Miller to emphasize that users have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding financial records held by third parties, and Coinbase's privacy policy clearly warns that information may be shared with law enforcement agencies.The Supreme Court has yet to decide whether to hear the case. If it declines, it will uphold the First Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling in support of the IRS.
