The cryptocurrency class-action lawsuit against Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks has been dismissed.

a cryptocurrency class action lawsuit accusing Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks of deceiving investors by promoting the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency lending platform Voyager Digital has been dismissed.

The lawsuit claimed that Cuban made multiple false statements about the company before Voyager filed for bankruptcy protection (Chapter 11) in 2022. At the time of Voyager's bankruptcy filing, the value of crypto assets on its platform was approximately $1.3 billion. Voyager's collapse was part of a broader market downturn triggered by the Terra blockchain crash, which wiped out about $40 billion in market value and ultimately led to its founder Do Kwon being sentenced to 15 years in prison earlier this month.

  • Iran's Foreign Ministry: Kuwait and Bahrain Bear Direct Responsibility for Attacks, Considered Aggression Against Iran

    On June 3, Iran's Foreign Ministry stated: We strongly condemn the aggressive attacks by the United States on an Iranian oil tanker and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island. These aggressive actions not only violate the ceasefire agreement of April 8 but also blatantly contravene the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter that prohibit the use of force, as well as international law. We also condemn the U.S. for colonial-style exploitation of the territories and facilities of regional countries to advance its aggressive plans against Iran. We clearly point out that Kuwait and Bahrain bear direct and explicit responsibility for the latest acts of aggression. Any country that allows aggressors to use its land, seas, and airspace or facilities and bases on its territory to execute or support military aggression against Iran is in clear violation of fundamental international law rules and the principle of good neighborliness. According to UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, this will be considered an act of aggression against Iran, and we will utilize all capabilities to counter such aggression, including targeting the sources of aggressive attacks.
  • Final Ruling in Qingdao Bitcoin Theft Case: Court Clarifies Property Nature of Virtual Currency

    According to Shandong Legal News, the Li Cang District Prosecutor's Office in Qingdao successfully handled a Bitcoin theft case. The defendant, Zhang, took advantage of the victim, Feng, who had entrusted him with operating a wallet, to steal the victim's mnemonic phrase. In the early morning, he stole 107 Bitcoins, which were worth approximately 22.54 million yuan at the market price on the day of the incident. He then transferred the stolen funds through multiple platforms, ultimately exchanging them for over 660,000 yuan. After being apprehended, Zhang attempted to argue that he was acting under 'protective custody,' but the prosecution dismantled his claims by tracing the financial transactions. The court sentenced Zhang to 10 years and 9 months in prison for theft and imposed a fine of 100,000 yuan, with the original ruling upheld after an appeal. This case clarifies that virtual currency has property attributes protected by criminal law, providing judicial guidance for combating similar new types of cybercrime.
