🚀 Ethereum Adviser Sues Law Firm For $100 Million Over Mishandled Defense
#Ethereum #lawsuit #Covington #StevenNerayoff #maliciousprosecution #cryptocurrency #blockchain #legalfees #exculpatoryevidence #defamation
According to Cointelegraph, Steven Nerayoff, an early adviser to the Ethereum network, has filed a $100 million lawsuit against law firm Covington & Burling. Nerayoff claims the firm mishandled his defense in a 2019 extortion case brought by the United States. The lawsuit, filed on September 6 in the New York County Supreme Court, alleges that Covington lawyer Alan Vinegrad advised Nerayoff not to turn over videos and emails to U.S. prosecutors, which he asserts would have demonstrated his actions were lawful.
Nerayoff and Michael Hlady, an associate at his blockchain consulting firm Alchemist, were arrested on September 18, 2019, with prosecutors alleging they extorted a cryptocurrency startup. Nerayoff provided the videos and other evidence to prosecutors in June 2022, leading to the dismissal of charges in May 2023. In his lawsuit, Nerayoff contends that the case could have been avoided if his attorneys had presented the exculpatory evidence in 2019.
A spokesperson for Covington denied the allegations, stating that the lawsuit lacks merit and that the firm will defend against it vigorously. The legal complaint also claims that Covington withdrew from representing Nerayoff after his indictment on January 10, 2020, forcing him to spend over $1 million in legal fees over the next three years. Nerayoff's current attorney, Romeo Salta, is seeking an amount to be determined at trial but not less than $100 million, citing the business opportunities and contracts lost in the crypto space due to the indictment.
Nerayoff has initiated several other lawsuits this year. In April, he filed a $9.6 billion lawsuit against the government, alleging malicious prosecution and investigation during the extortion case. Additionally, on July 22, he filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Tyler Fayard, known as 'Boring Sleuth' on social media, for allegedly defaming him online.#Ethereum #lawsuit #Covington #StevenNerayoff #maliciousprosecution #cryptocurrency #blockchain #legalfees #exculpatoryevidence #defamation

#Cryptocurrency #MarketRecovery #OwnershipDecline #Bitcoin #FederalReserve #ConsumerFinanceInstitute #Finance #Investment
According to Odaily, research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicates that despite a recent recovery in the cryptocurrency market, ownership rates have not increased correspondingly. The Consumer Finance Institute (CFI) of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported on September 6 that cryptocurrency ownership dropped from 24.6% in January 2022 to 19.1% in October 2022 during the bear market. Even during the subsequent 18-month market recovery, ownership rates did not significantly improve, with the rate standing at 17.1% in October 2023 and further declining to 15.4% in January 2024.
Additionally, when Bitcoin prices peaked in April 2024, ownership rates were only at 16.1%, and by July 2024, they had decreased to 14.7%. This data suggests that despite market fluctuations and recoveries, the overall interest and participation in cryptocurrency ownership have continued to decline.#Cryptocurrency #MarketRecovery #OwnershipDecline #Bitcoin #FederalReserve #ConsumerFinanceInstitute #Finance #Investment

🚀 Revelo Intel CEO Steps Down After Armed Robbery
#ReveloIntel #CEO #NickDrakon #armedrobbery #cryptocurrencies #cryptoassets #funds #thieves #investigation #cryptoeducation #financialimpact #Bitcoin #cypherpunk #socialmedia #security #investors
According to Cointelegraph, Nick Drakon, the CEO of crypto research and education platform Revelo Intel, has resigned following an incident where he was held at gunpoint and forced to transfer personal, company, and investor funds. Drakon detailed the harrowing experience in a Sept. 5 post on X, explaining that a highly sophisticated group targeted, surveilled, and robbed him. The group was specifically interested in crypto assets and knew the deposit addresses of the crypto businesses he operated. Under duress, Drakon was compelled to log into several crypto accounts and transfer funds out. The thieves made off with his personal funds, Revelo’s working capital, retained earnings, and funds from Revelo Ventures, the firm’s investment arm. Drakon also revealed that the criminals threatened his wife and 8-month-old son. He suggested that there is some evidence indicating involvement from individuals within Revelo Ventures but chose not to disclose further details to avoid compromising the investigation and potentially putting his family at greater risk. Vu Benson, the former chief operating officer, will now take over as the new CEO of Revelo Intel. In an effort to mitigate the financial impact on Revelo Ventures members, Drakon has forfeited his interest in Revelo and committed to returning some of the stolen money. Additionally, 30% of the company’s generated profits will be allocated to affected members. Drakon admitted to making severe mistakes that made him a target and apologized to those who lost money due to the robbery. This incident follows a recent case in Ukraine where four suspects allegedly kidnapped and murdered a foreign national, stealing $170,000 worth of Bitcoin. Bitcoin cypherpunk Jameson Lopp has noted that criminals often identify potential victims through social media posts, meetups, and conferences. Lopp advises against peer-to-peer trades with untrusted individuals, flaunting wealth on social media, and wearing crypto-branded clothing.#ReveloIntel #CEO #NickDrakon #armedrobbery #cryptocurrencies #cryptoassets #funds #thieves #investigation #cryptoeducation #financialimpact #Bitcoin #cypherpunk #socialmedia #security #investors

🚀 Agile Energy X Initiates Bitcoin Mining Using Surplus Renewable Energy
#AgileEnergyX #BitcoinMining #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #CarbonNeutrality #Japan #PowerWastage #SustainableEnergy #TokyoElectricPowerGrid #BTC
According to Odaily, Agile Energy X, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Grid, has commenced the installation of Bitcoin mining equipment at solar power plants in Tochigi and Gunma prefectures. This initiative aims to utilize surplus renewable energy for mining experiments. Kenji Tateiwa, a representative of the company, stated that mining could provide a new revenue stream for power generation companies and promote the further adoption of green energy.
Agile Energy X estimates that if renewable energy accounts for nearly half of the national power supply, the annual electricity consumption of approximately 70 million households would be wasted. By utilizing 10% of this surplus for Bitcoin mining, it is projected to generate an annual revenue of around 360 billion yen (25 billion USD). This move seeks to address the issue of power wastage due to the volatility of renewable energy generation while supporting Japan's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.#AgileEnergyX #BitcoinMining #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #CarbonNeutrality #Japan #PowerWastage #SustainableEnergy #TokyoElectricPowerGrid #BTC
