#Telegram #SoutheastAsia #CrimeNetworks #UNReport #MoneyLaundering #Cryptocurrency #OrganizedCrime #CyberCrime #DeepfakeSoftware #HackedData
According to PANews, a recent United Nations report has identified Telegram as a haven for criminal networks in Southeast Asia, facilitating the laundering of stolen funds, trading of hacked data, and acquisition of fraudulent tools using cryptocurrency. The report highlights that end-to-end encrypted applications have fundamentally altered the operations of organized crime. The UN estimates that Southeast Asian crime groups generate annual profits ranging from $27.4 billion to $36.5 billion.
The report also notes that unauthorized cryptocurrency exchanges are advertising money laundering services on the platform. One advertisement discovered by the UN claimed, 'We transfer $3 million stolen from overseas daily.' Criminal networks are using Telegram to trade stolen sensitive information, including credit data and passwords, and to purchase malware designed to steal funds. Additionally, at least ten providers of deepfake software were found to be promoting their services to criminals.#Telegram #SoutheastAsia #CrimeNetworks #UNReport #MoneyLaundering #Cryptocurrency #OrganizedCrime #CyberCrime #DeepfakeSoftware #HackedData

🚀 Elizabeth Warren And John Deaton To Debate Ahead Of 2024 Election
#ElizabethWarren #JohnDeaton #2024Election #Debates #Cryptocurrency #SEC #Ripple #DigitalAssets #Boston #Springfield #XRP
According to Odaily, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Republican candidate John Deaton are scheduled to engage in two debates ahead of the 2024 election. The debates will take place on October 15 and October 17. Specifically, New England Public Media and GBH News will host a debate on October 17 in Springfield, while Warren and Deaton will also debate on October 15 on WSBK-TV in Boston. It remains unclear whether digital assets will be a topic of discussion between the two candidates, as GBH News has stated that it will not share the debate topics in advance.
During her tenure, Warren has been an outspoken critic of cryptocurrencies, often linking digital assets to the funding of illegal activities. On the other hand, Deaton, a lawyer, has been a supporter of Ripple and other cryptocurrency companies facing lawsuits from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Several polls conducted in September indicate that Warren is leading Deaton by more than 20 percentage points in the election, with many expecting the debates to serve as a referendum on cryptocurrency policy. Deaton has criticized the SEC's enforcement actions, accusing the agency of pushing an anti-crypto agenda and has specifically targeted SEC Chairman Gary Gensler in his remarks.#ElizabethWarren #JohnDeaton #2024Election #Debates #Cryptocurrency #SEC #Ripple #DigitalAssets #Boston #Springfield #XRP

🚀 Epic Games CEO Discusses Future Of Unreal Engine And Digital Asset Market
#EpicGames #UnrealEngine #TimSweeney #Web3 #DigitalAssets #Metaverse #MultiplayerGames #Blockchain #GameDevelopment #Interoperability
According to Odaily, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney recently outlined a long-term vision for Unreal Games and Fortnite, which could potentially create the digital asset market that Web3 players have been dreaming of since the advent of the metaverse. In a recent interview with The Verge, Sweeney discussed the upcoming Unreal Engine 6. Unreal Engine is one of the world's most popular game engines, used by developers globally to create numerous AAA games. Unreal Engine 5 was released in 2022, and given that game engines typically have a lifespan of 7 to 10 years, Unreal Engine 6 is unlikely to be seen before 2030. However, according to Sweeney, Epic seems to have set ambitious goals for its flagship software. Sweeney also believes that the next generation of multiplayer game development will undergo a transformation. He stated in the interview, 'Our view is that players are more inclined towards games they can play with friends, and they are willing to spend more money on digital items they believe they will use for a long time.' Additionally, Sweeney thinks the Epic ecosystem needs to expand from a walled garden to a player-facing metaverse. According to Epic Games, the future development path is well-known to the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 communities: the commodification of digital assets. Epic Games Executive Vice President Saxs Persson mentioned in an interview that the company's vision for future games is to maintain interoperability regardless of the platform players choose. Analysts point out that, on the surface, this will require blockchain technology to ensure trustless verification between systems without compromising company privacy. Epic Games has yet to comment on this matter.#EpicGames #UnrealEngine #TimSweeney #Web3 #DigitalAssets #Metaverse #MultiplayerGames #Blockchain #GameDevelopment #Interoperability

🚀 Jim Rickards Highlights Gold's Role In Supporting The US Dollar

According to Odaily, renowned economist and bestselling author Jim Rickards has emphasized the potential role of gold in helping the US dollar maintain its status as the world's reserve currency. In a recent interview, Rickards explained that the US Treasury should start purchasing gold to prevent central banks from rushing to buy gold and reducing their dollar reserves, which could lead to a long-term depreciation of the dollar. 'Treasury buying gold would restore confidence in the dollar and perhaps make people believe in its real value again,' Rickards stated. He acknowledged that this move would increase the price of gold in dollar terms but argued that the benefits would far outweigh the drawbacks.
Furthermore, when discussing potential replacements for the dollar, Rickards elaborated that new forms of currency would emerge as old ones fail, highlighting the adaptability of humanity in terms of money, using cryptocurrencies as an example. 'Human adaptability in money is incredible, as seen with cryptocurrencies,' he noted.#JimRickards #Gold #USDollar #ReserveCurrency #USTreasury #CentralBanks #DollarReserves #Cryptocurrency #EconomicHistory #CurrencyEvolution

🚀 Federal Reserve's Musalem Supports Gradual Rate Cuts

According to BlockBeats, on October 8, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Musalem, expressed his support for the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points last month. However, he emphasized his preference for further rate cuts to be implemented gradually. Considering the current economic conditions, Musalem believes that the cost of easing too early and too much outweighs the cost of easing too late and too little. Over time, a gradual reduction in policy rates may be appropriate. He also predicted that the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), will converge to 2% over the 'next few quarters.'#FederalReserve #Musalem #InterestRates #RateCuts #Economy #Inflation #PCE #EconomicPolicy #StLouisFed

🚀 Russia Considers Cutting Power Supply To Crypto Miners Amid Energy Shortages
#Russia #CryptoMining #EnergyShortages #Bitcoin #PowerSupply
According to Odaily, as Bitcoin miners continue to increase their capacity, the Russian Ministry of Energy is considering cutting off power supplies to crypto miners during energy shortages. Reports indicate that Russian crypto miners produced approximately $3.5 billion worth of Bitcoin last year. Deputy Minister of Energy Yevgeny Grabchak stated that power suppliers should have the right to cut off miners' power supply at any time. However, Grabchak reiterated the Ministry's earlier stance this year. Officials claimed last month that power companies might soon provide excess power to miners, noting that miners are a new category of consumers. These issues are being actively discussed, and there is often spare capacity in the grid when there is no peak demand. Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev mentioned in a meeting with President Vladimir Putin that crypto miners should be prepared to move to regions without energy shortages. Meanwhile, Grabchak stated that the industry would be allowed to choose whether to self-limit its power usage or use automated IT solutions. He explained that if there is no capacity shortage, which has been the case for most of this year, excess capacity might be provided to some consumers, but only if they limit their consumption. Alternatively, they can install automated solutions to disconnect from the grid.#Russia #CryptoMining #EnergyShortages #Bitcoin #PowerSupply
