5. Robert Kennedy stated that Bitcoin mining is a powerful new tool to support renewable energy-intensive power grids, and miners actively participate in demand response projects to reduce consumer electricity costs.
Robert Kennedy recently stated in a letter to The Economist that Bitcoin mining is a powerful new tool to support renewable energy-intensive power grids. He pointed out that while the power grid is facing pressure from manufacturing, electric vehicles, and data centers, the electricity usage pattern of Bitcoin mining is different from traditional electricity usage and can have a positive impact on the grid. Kennedy emphasized that unlike facilities such as data centers, Bitcoin mining farms only operate when electricity is cheap and abundant. When electricity becomes scarce and prices rise, the mining farms reduce their electricity usage within seconds. In addition, Kennedy pointed out that Bitcoin miners actively participate in demand response projects, allowing grid operators to control their electricity usage to stabilize the grid. The participation of Bitcoin miners in these projects helps to bid in the open market, reducing consumer electricity costs. -Original
6. ZachXBT revealed details of a $243 million cryptocurrency theft case involving Genesis creditors and three masterminds, with over $9 million in funds successfully frozen.
Blockchain detective ZachXBT detailed a major cryptocurrency theft case targeting Genesis creditors, stating that on August 19, 2024, three hackers stole $243 million worth of cryptocurrency assets from a Genesis creditor through highly sophisticated social engineering attacks. The attackers first impersonated Google customer service and successfully invaded the victim's personal account through phone deception. They then disguised themselves as support staff from the Gemini exchange, claiming that the account had been compromised, and induced the victim to reset the two-factor authentication and transfer the funds in the Gemini account to a controlled wallet. Finally, the hackers induced the victim to share the screen of the Bitcoin core wallet using AnyDesk remote desktop software, thus stealing the private key. ZachXBT confirmed three main suspects: 1. Veer Chetal (alias Wiz) obtained the largest share of the stolen funds, approximately $34.5 million, which is still at address 0x3c7a5f2795e73d2b94a9120a643f608cfc45c935. 2. Malone Iam (alias Greavys) lived a luxurious life in Los Angeles and Miami, with daily expenses ranging from $250,000 to $500,000, and even giving Hermès handbags to women as gifts. 3. Jeandiel Serrano (alias Box) was responsible for impersonating Gemini customer service for fraud. Through the joint efforts of ZachXBT, CFInvestigators, Zeroshadow, and the Binance security team, over $9 million in funds has been successfully frozen, with over 50,000 USD returned to the victims. It is worth noting that Malone and Jeandiel have been arrested in Miami and Los Angeles, respectively.
