$86,000,000 stolen from Ledger wallets may be just the tip of the iceberg. A CryptoQuant analyst has begun tracking the stolen funds and stated that they had never encountered anything on this scale before. ➤ The actual losses could be significantly higher than the initial estimate. ➤ The analyst suspects this is not an isolated hack, but a large-scale compromise of Ledger devices through reseller CryptoBilis. ➤ Owners of recently purchased Ledger devices are advised to transfer their assets to exchanges or other wallets. ➤ Stopping an attack of this kind is extremely difficult: if the devices were compromised before being sold, Ledger will be unable to remotely protect users and will have no choice but to respond to the aftermath. Meanwhile, the cause of the thefts remains unknown.

🇺🇸 California bans public officials from launching memecoins California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law banning state officials from issuing memecoins. The law defines them as cryptocurrencies tied to celebrities, internet memes, or viral trends rather than a specific use case. Newsom’s office titled its announcement about the law “THE OPPOSITE OF TRUMP!”, apparently playing on both Donald Trump’s last name and the ticker of the TRUMP memecoin, which his team launched shortly before his inauguration. Newsom said public officials should not be able to profit from holding office. It remains unclear whether the ban applies to existing memecoins, including TRUMP. ▪️ The law is part of a package of 11 measures aimed at combating corruption and protecting consumers.

Sam Bankman-Fried asks US Supreme Court to overturn his FTX sentence Sam Bankman-Fried has filed a petition with the US Supreme Court to overturn his conviction and an $11 billion asset forfeiture. The former head of FTX, which went bankrupt in 2022, is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud and embezzling customer funds. He claims the court prevented the defense from showing that FTX and Alameda, despite "temporary liquidity issues," had sufficient assets to pay back clients and investors. Alameda Research, a fund linked to FTX, was used by the exchange's team to funnel billions of dollars in client funds for personal use and investments. Its chief, Caroline Ellison, testified against Bankman-Fried and was released early from prison after serving 11 months of a two-year sentence. Bankman-Fried is also challenging the $11 billion forfeiture, arguing that it violates the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits excessive fines. In June, an appeals court upheld his sentence, and the Senate subsequently passed a resolution urging against a presidential pardon. The Supreme Court is expected to decide later this year whether it will hear the case.
