two South Korean police officers have been accused of accepting bribes from illegal cryptocurrency exchange points, with a total amount of money laundering involved reaching as high as 186 million USD (approximately 249.6 billion KRW). Prosecutors accuse these two officers of providing investigation intelligence to criminal gangs, assisting in unfreezing accounts, introducing lawyers, and connecting with other law enforcement personnel in exchange for money. South Korean authorities have frozen about 1.1 million USD (1.5 billion KRW) in related assets. The money laundering gang, led by a ringleader in cooperation with CEO "A," recruited members from January to October 2024, operating cash exchange points disguised as "gift voucher shops" in busy areas such as Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, converting proceeds from voice phishing scams into USDT stablecoins. The shop even posted warning signs saying "Beware of voice phishing" to deceive people.

Senator Lummis: Trump Voluntarily Agreed to New Ethical Provisions in the Clarity Act
On September 14, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis posted on platform X, stating, "After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready. Here is the final text. President Trump has voluntarily agreed to new ethical provisions that implement one of the strictest ethical restrictions in American history for all federally elected officials, judges, and their spouses. This new text incorporates over 120 demands put forth by the Democrats. If a no vote is cast on Tuesday, it would signify opposition to genuine ethical reforms regarding the personal investment behaviors of politicians, ceding America's leadership in the digital asset space to foreign competitors, and leaving the American public unprotected in the digital asset market. The Democrats' demands have been met; now, they need to accept this bill and vote in favor." -
