According to The Block, the U.S. SEC has filed a lawsuit in the federal court in Houston, accusing Nathan Fuller, a resident of Cypress, Texas, of operating a cryptocurrency scam project involving up to $12.3 million, which used fraudulent artificial intelligence trading bots to defraud investors.Nathan Fuller told investors that his proprietary AI-based bot could automatically scan cryptocurrency trading platforms, capturing small price gaps through high-frequency arbitrage, and promised returns of 40% to 50% within 30 to 45 days. Some investors were even told they could receive guaranteed returns of over 100% within 21 days.The SEC stated that Nathan Fuller, founder and sole member of Privvy Investments LLC, raised these funds from approximately 150 investors located in nine states and two foreign countries between October 2022 and mid-2024. He also conducted business under the alias "Gateway Digital Investments."It is alleged that only about 3% of the funds were actually used for cryptocurrency trading, while Fuller personally siphoned off at least $6.2 million and paid approximately $5.5 million to early investors in a manner similar to a Ponzi scheme.

SUPERFORTUNE AI posted on platform X that the team is investigating the GUA security incident that occurred on May 27. This incident caused severe fluctuations in token prices, and preliminary investigations indicate that the incident may involve address tampering in a multi-signature transaction.The announcement stated that the plan was to send additional unlocked tokens to the airdrop claim contract address, but during the execution of the transaction, the funds were mistakenly sent to another hacker address. The team noted that this hacker address had never interacted with any addresses related to SUPERFORTUNE before, so the likelihood of an "address poisoning attack" as a method of attack is low. Additionally, SUPERFORTUNE stated that its internal processes already include a multi-address verification mechanism, and the team is still continuing to investigate the incident and will update the community on the latest developments.

According to Cointelegraph, plaintiff Noah Doe and two limited liability companies from Wyoming filed a lawsuit in New York, USA, on May 1, seeking a court ruling on their ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses, citing New York State's lost property law, claiming that the relevant addresses' holdings constitute legally "abandoned property."The addresses involved include those starting with "12c6D" associated with Satoshi Nakamoto and those starting with "1Feex" linked to the Mt. Gox hack. According to estimates by Timechain Index founder, the listed addresses hold approximately 3.7 million BTC, valued at around $28.5 billion.However, Noveleader, chief research analyst at investment research firm Castle Labs, pointed out that even if the court rules in favor of the plaintiffs, it would only be symbolic, as the Bitcoin network itself does not have a mechanism for reallocating funds without private keys. Additionally, the plaintiffs sent legal notices to P2PKH format addresses, while the involved BTC is actually stored in P2PK scripts. The analyst believes this move is "structurally flawed," which could render the abandonment notice procedure itself invalid.

Syndicate Labs, Everclear, and ZERO Network announced the cessation of operations on the same day, highlighting the deep dilemmas in the blockchain infrastructure sector.Syndicate Labs, a startup supported by a16z and having raised over $27 million, announced its closure after five years of operation, stating that EVM Rollup is no longer the industry standard and the market has fundamentally shifted to custom chains. The cross-chain settlement protocol Everclear (formerly Connext) announced hours later that it would shut down its foundation and lab entities, despite having a monthly trading volume that once reached $500 million, it was unable to convert that volume into revenue, and the CLEAR token dropped about 40% on the same day. The gasless Ethereum Layer 2 ZERO Network built by the crypto wallet Zerion also announced its closure on the same day, with the team shifting focus to the development of Zerion wallet and API products, and users must bridge their funds out by July 31.The common dilemma faced by the three projects is that even with venture capital funding and operational products, it remains difficult to find a sustainable business model to withstand market deterioration.

According to Zhejiang Daily, recently, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau successfully dismantled multiple criminal gangs smuggling virtual currency "mining machines" through in-depth operations and meticulous investigations, effectively cutting off an illegal industrial chain.Previously, during a routine inspection of a batch of imported express shipments declared as "industrial blockers," Ningbo Customs discovered that the actual goods did not match the declaration and were, in fact, virtual currency "mining machines." Customs officers quickly transferred this lead to the anti-smuggling department. After receiving the report, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau immediately assembled a task force by drawing on elite personnel, and through data analysis and clue investigation, gradually clarified the organizational structure and operational model of the criminal network. When the timing was right, they decisively struck, simultaneously conducting net-seizing operations in Dongguan, Shenzhen, and other locations, successfully dismantling multiple smuggling gangs of mining machines.Upon investigation, it was confirmed that this series of cases seized over 400 illegal entry mining machines of brands such as Ant L9 and Ice River KS3. The investigation revealed that the smuggling gang led by Liao, in order to make illegal profits, procured "mining machines" from overseas suppliers, disassembled the whole machines, and misreported the product names to smuggle them into the country through international express channels from ports in Ningbo, Guangzhou, and other places. After the goods entered the country, the gang reassembled them, either selling them directly domestically or transporting them to hidden "mining sites" in Xinjiang, Hunan, and other places to engage in illegal virtual currency "mining" activities. At the same time, they utilized virtual currencies like USDT for cross-border payment settlements to evade financial supervision.

According to the Hunan Daily, on February 9 at around 8 PM, the public security agency in Baojing, Hunan Province, China, received a report from a victim, Mr. Liu, from another province who had been scammed. He claimed that he was defrauded while purchasing virtual currency USDT online, with a total loss of 100,000 yuan. After receiving the report, the Baojing County Public Security Bureau dispatched a team of elite officers to form a special investigation group and began investigating the case overnight.The investigating officers used various investigative methods to ultimately identify the suspect as Shi. Upon investigation, it was found that the suspect Shi had no fixed income and did not possess qualifications for virtual currency trading. To defraud others, he collected screenshots of others trading coins online, forged false profit records, and impersonated a senior "coin dealer" to gain their trust. Victim Mr. Liu believed him and transferred 100,000 yuan to the account designated by Shi. After receiving the payment, Shi did not deliver the virtual currency; instead, he used part of the funds for gambling and squandered the rest, splitting and hiding the remaining funds.The investigating officers quickly identified Shi's identity and activities by accurately analyzing the flow of funds and comprehensively securing evidence related to the case. They decisively acted on the night of the report and successfully apprehended Shi. The next day, the case was officially filed for investigation. After solving the case, the police consistently adhered to the principle of "solving the case and recovering losses equally," patiently conducted legal policy education, and actively mobilized the suspect's family to cooperate in the restitution, ultimately recovering the full amount of 100,000 yuan involved in the case. On the morning of May 14, the 100,000 yuan of fraudulently obtained funds was fully returned to victim Mr. Liu. Currently, the suspect Shi has been subjected to criminal coercive measures for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.

GitHub has updated the details of the investigation into the unauthorized access incident of its internal repositories: GitHub detected and contained an incident yesterday involving an employee's device being compromised, which involved a maliciously implanted VS Code extension. GitHub removed the malicious extension, isolated the affected terminals, and immediately initiated an incident response. Current assessments show that only GitHub's internal repositories experienced data exfiltration, and the approximately 3,800 repositories claimed by the attackers are roughly consistent with the investigation results. GitHub has prioritized rotating critical credentials, is analyzing logs, verifying credential rotations, and monitoring subsequent activities, with a complete report to be released after the investigation is concluded.Additionally, Slow Mist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds commented on this incident, stating: "By analyzing leaks from cybercrime forums, hackers may have used Anthropic's Mythos security AI to precisely breach GitHub's defenses and steal information from about 4,000 core internal repositories: including the source code for Copilot, the algorithms for CodeQL, the Actions runtime, and the entire billing system. Further analysis of this code could lead to subsequent attacks, having a profound security impact on the integration of the open-source community."

The co-founder of the crypto platform Forsage, Olena Oblamska, pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud after being extradited from Thailand to the United States. Forsage launched in January 2020, marketing itself to retail investors worldwide as a smart contract-based DApp investment platform. The U.S. Department of Justice accused the platform of using smart contracts on Ethereum, Tron, and BNB Chain to automatically redirect funds from new participants to early investors, constituting a Ponzi and pyramid scheme.Blockchain analysis shows that over 80% of Forsage investors received less cryptocurrency than they deposited, and over 50% received no returns at all. The scam defrauded victims from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America of approximately $340 million. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had previously filed a civil lawsuit against those involved in August 2022.

According to Reuters, the Polish parliament has passed a cryptocurrency regulation bill to implement the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), with Poland required to complete the implementation of related rules by July. The legislative backdrop is the alleged large-scale fraud involving the Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto. Polish prosecutors have launched a multi-million dollar fraud investigation, with expected user losses exceeding 350 million zlotys (approximately 95.93 million USD), and thousands of users are currently unable to withdraw their funds.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously stated that "Russian funds" and foreign political influence issues may be involved behind Zondacrypto. The exchange's founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in 2022, and the current head Przemyslaw Kral reportedly has gone to Israel. Polish President Karol Nawrocki had previously vetoed the related MiCA implementation bill twice, believing that the regulatory requirements were too burdensome and could lead to the loss of cryptocurrency businesses.

According to Times Brasil, the decision-making committee of the administrative sanctions procedure under the Central Bank of Brazil imposed a fine of approximately $3.15 million on Banco Topázio and prohibited it from conducting over-the-counter foreign exchange business for virtual asset trading for the next two years.Regulators stated that Banco Topázio had deficiencies in customer qualification review, customer registration, and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls while handling approximately $1.7 billion in related business from October 2020 to September 2021, and failed to report unusual transactions to Coaf.

On-chain detective ZachXBT exposed American threat actor Dritan Kapllani Jr, claiming he is suspected of participating in a social engineering theft targeting crypto users, totaling approximately $19 million. ZachXBT stated that Dritan has long flaunted luxury cars, high-end watches, private jets, and nightlife on social media. On April 23, 2026, during a "Band 4 Band (B4B)" voice chat on Discord, he publicly displayed an Exodus wallet containing $3.68 million in assets to prove he was wealthier than another hacker.The relevant ETH address is: 0x4487db847db2fc99372a985743a26f46e0b2bba6. ZachXBT tracked and found that this address is linked to a social engineering theft case involving 185 BTC (approximately $13 million) on March 14, 2026. The next day, Dritan's Exodus wallet received about $5.3 million of those funds. By the time of the B4B call six weeks later, about $1.6 million had been spent or laundered.On May 11, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed a criminal indictment against Trenton Johnson, who is accused of participating in the aforementioned 185 BTC theft case and could face up to 40 years in prison. "Coconspirator 1" in the indictment is alleged to be Dritan, who has not yet been formally charged. ZachXBT also pointed out that Dritan is connected to hacker John Daghita (Lick), who was previously arrested for stealing $46 million from the U.S. government, and John had exposed Dritan's old wallet address on Telegram.On-chain analysis shows that this address is related to multiple high-confidence social engineering theft cases in 2025, with a total amount involved exceeding $5.85 million. ZachXBT stated that Dritan has been active in "The Com" hacker circle for a long time and had previously not faced formal charges due to his minor status. He is now over 18 years old, and "the borrowed time may finally be over."
