The founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), has submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting to overturn his fraud conviction and revoke the $11 billion forfeiture order. According to CNN, the petition was filed on September 10 local time, led by Alexandra A.E. Shapiro from the law firm Shapiro, Arato, Bach. SBF is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.The petition raises two core legal issues: first, when can the trial court admit evidence showing whether victims suffered losses, in cases where the prosecution uses a "fraudulent inducement" theory, meaning that it is irrelevant whether the victims suffered economic losses; second, does the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution allow for forfeiture or other criminal fines that destroy the defendant's future livelihood prospects? The defense argues that the trial court allowed the prosecution to imply that clients suffered massive losses while prohibiting the defense from presenting evidence that clients have been compensated, which constitutes an error.The defense claims that although FTX and Alameda faced liquidity issues at one point, they always held sufficient assets to ultimately pay back investors and clients, and clients have now been repaid with both principal and interest. In 2023, SBF was convicted of multiple counts of fraud and money laundering, and in 2024, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion. In June of this year, a panel of the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original ruling. The Supreme Court is expected to decide later this year whether to hear the case.

Zhao Changpeng issued a reminder for Ledger hardware wallet users to remain vigilant, especially those who have purchased devices recently. According to the information currently available, this incident appears to be limited to the supply chain, involving a supplier, and a few users may have purchased counterfeit or tampered Ledger devices.Zhao Changpeng stated that Ledger is a well-established and relatively secure hardware wallet brand in the industry, but such incidents can still occur. He anticipates and calls for the BNB ecosystem and the entire cryptocurrency industry to assist in tracking the stolen funds and promoting recovery.Previously, Ledger confirmed that it is investigating an asset theft incident involving Southeast Asian users, who had purchased devices through the distributor CryptoBilis. Ledger has requested CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments and advised users who purchased devices through this distributor in the past 90 days not to initialize their devices; if they have already completed the setup, they should create a new Ledger signing device using a new mnemonic phrase and transfer their assets to the new wallet.On-chain investigator Specter estimates that this incident has led to the theft of hundreds of wallets on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON networks, with losses exceeding 86 million dollars. Security researcher tanuki42 previously estimated the losses to be over 72 million dollars and stated that the amount is still increasing. Currently, the specific cause of the incident and whether the involved devices have security vulnerabilities are still under investigation.

The Slow Fog security team recently disclosed the discovery of a malicious GitHub repository impersonating the "Qwen 3.8 27B local quantitative model." The repository claims that the model file should exceed 16GB, while the actual downloaded content is only about 487KB, containing disguised files, a LuaJIT interpreter, and obfuscated Lua scripts. Slow Fog emphasizes that the official Qwen project has not been compromised.Slow Fog's analysis indicates that after the malicious program runs, it will collect host information, capture the screen, and send it to the attacker's C2 server; when the hard-coded server fails, it will also read backup C2 addresses from contracts on the Polygon chain, allowing the attacker to rotate infrastructure through on-chain transactions.Subsequent payloads can steal browser login information, cookies, history, email, WinSCP, Steam credentials, as well as files and extension data related to cryptocurrency wallets. Slow Fog also found that at least 23 GitHub repositories and 29 similar compressed packages used the same Lua delivery chain.

According to CoinDesk, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a warning that a sophisticated email phishing campaign targeting U.S. cryptocurrency holders is spreading. Attackers are impersonating official tax letters to lure users into scanning malicious QR codes to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials and private keys.It is reported that attackers are sending paper letters impersonating the IRS, creating a sense of urgency under the guise of "tax compliance" and "account verification," and including QR codes in the letters. Once users scan the code, they may be directed to a counterfeit website, leading to the leakage of wallet login information, recovery phrases, or private keys, resulting in the theft of digital assets.The IRS reminds taxpayers that official agencies will not request users to provide cryptocurrency wallet private keys, recovery phrases, or perform similar "wallet verification" operations through unofficial channels. Cryptocurrency holders should be vigilant against any suspicious emails and letters that request scanning QR codes, connecting wallets, or submitting sensitive information.As the number of cryptocurrency asset holders grows, social engineering attacks targeting digital wallets continue to increase, and regulatory and security agencies are strengthening warnings against related fraudulent activities.

According to Bloomberg, AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li stated that the tech industry needs to better explain the value of artificial intelligence to the public and warned that the growing anti-AI sentiment in the United States could pose risks to global AI development. In an interview with Bloomberg, Fei-Fei Li mentioned that tech practitioners need to strengthen communication with the public to showcase the positive impacts that AI technology can bring.She pointed out, "If we do not demonstrate a positive attitude and a positive direction for development, everyone will be affected." The United States has significant influence in the global tech sector, and if the U.S. cannot show a "positive attitude and development path for AI," it will ultimately affect the entire world.
