3. The Northern District of California Federal Court in the United States ruled that William Koo Ichioka must compensate $36 million for cryptocurrency and forex fraud.
According to a statement released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California ordered 30-year-old William Koo Ichioka to pay $31 million to victims and a $5 million civil penalty. In June 2023, the CFTC charged Ichioka with misappropriating funds in a scheme involving cryptocurrency (including Bitcoin and Ethereum) and forex trading. As part of parallel actions, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed charges against him. Ichioka claimed to be "someone who has been pursuing wealth for a long time and has accumulated millions of dollars." According to the court's judgment, he told investors that they could receive a 10% return every 30 working days by participating in his commodity liquidity pool. Ichioka did use some of the investors' funds to invest in startup company stocks, digital asset commodities, and forex trading, but he also "mixed participants' funds with his own" and used the money to pay for rent, restaurants, bars, taxis, gym memberships, and luxury cars, among other expenses. -Original

13. Bitcoin Core developers disclosed a critical vulnerability in versions below Bitcoin Core 24.0.1.
Bitcoin Core developers issued a new high-risk warning, stating that one out of every six Bitcoin nodes is vulnerable to software bugs. Specifically, all software below Bitcoin Core version 24.0.1 is at risk. According to Bitnodes' monitoring estimates, this denial-of-service vulnerability affects approximately 3,330 out of about 19,200 accessible Bitcoin full nodes claiming user agents. The developers fixed this vulnerability in Bitcoin Core pull request (PR) number 25717 and merged it into production with the release of version 24.0.1 on December 12, 2022. The current Bitcoin Core node software version (now 27.1) includes fixes for this vulnerability and other bugs. Although this vulnerability is quite serious, there have been few documented cases of attacks exploiting it. Since the cost of generating and broadcasting block header chains to carry out a denial-of-service attack is quite high, attackers have little economic incentive to exploit this vulnerability. -Original
