Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Pfizer

In one of the most significant cryptocurrency crime cases to date, Ilya Lichtenstein, who orchestrated the theft of 120,000 bitcoin from Bitfinex in 2016, was sentenced to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40961791/the-biggest-crypto-crime-cases-in-2024-heists-frauds-and-multi-million-dollar-scams-shake-">five years in prison</a>.
The stolen Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), worth $71 million at the time, is now valued at over $7.6 billion. 
What Happened: Lichtenstein's elaborate laundering <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.257739/gov.uscourts.dcd.257739.143.0.pdf">scheme</a>, carried out with the assistance of his wife, Heather Morgan, has been described by authorities as one of the most sophisticated money-laundering operations ever encountered in the cryptocurrency space.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, delivering the sentence on Thursday, called the theft "meticulously planned" and emphasized the importance of accountability. 
"It's important to send a message that you can't commit these crimes with impunity, that there are consequences to them," she said.
The hack targeted Hong Kong-based exchange Bitfinex, compromising 36% of the company's assets at the time. 
Prosecutors revealed that Lichtenstein spent months infiltrating Bitfinex's infrastructure to execute the theft. After the hack, he moved the stolen Bitcoin through a maze of transactions designed to obscure its origins. 
By 2022, the couple had successfully laundered around 21% of the stolen funds, worth $14 million at 2016 prices, and exceeding $1 billion in 2022.
Heather Morgan, who also faces sentencing, played a lower-level role, according to prosecutors.

Initially unaware of the full extent of her husband's actions, she later assisted in laundering the stolen funds.
Authorities recovered over 96% of the stolen bitcoin, valued at over $6 billion, thanks in part to Lichtenstein's cooperation following his arrest in February 2022. 
His defense attorney, Samson Enzer, highlighted this cooperation, stating, "The vast bulk of the stolen money was never spent."
The theft significantly impacted Bitfinex's operations and reputation, forcing the company to take swift action to protect its customers. 
"The hack devastated our finances and reputation," said Barry Berke, an attorney for Bitfinex. 
Despite the setback, Bitfinex absorbed the losses to shield its customers from the fallout.
While in custody, Lichtenstein expressed regret, stating, "I want to take full responsibility for my actions and make amends any way I can." 
He also shared his desire to contribute positively in the future by applying his skills to combat cybercrime.
What&#8217;s Next: The case highlights the need for robust regulatory frameworks and cybersecurity measures to protect digital asset markets, an issue that will be explored at Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.

Recent whispers suggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/11/41745935/super-micro-computer-posts-q1-earnings-are-delisting-fears-here-to-stay-or-can-the-stock">Nvidia is diversifying its partnerships</a>, reportedly redirecting orders from Super Micro to other server vendors. While Nvidia hasn't officially confirmed these moves, the implications are clear: reputational and operational risks tied to Super Micro's ongoing crises might be too hot for Nvidia to handle.
Nvidia's earnings call on Nov. 20 could be the turning point for SMCI stock investors. If Nvidia acknowledges its cooling stance toward Super Micro, the already battered stock might face another wave of sell-offs. 
On the flip side, silence on the matter could offer Super Micro a temporary reprieve.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Stock Potential Delisting Drama</h2>
Super Micro's troubles don't end with Nvidia. The company is racing against a Nov. 16 Nasdaq deadline to resolve its delinquent SEC filings, a fallout from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41052423/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-report-of-doj-probe-what-to-know">ongoing accounting fiasco</a> sparked by Hindenburg Research's scathing short report. 
With its 10-K filing delayed, its 10-Q now also postponed, and its auditor Ernst &amp; Young resigning in October, the situation looks bleak.
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/11/41745935/super-micro-computer-posts-q1-earnings-are-delisting-fears-here-to-stay-or-can-the-stock">the Nasdaq delisting</a> process kicks off, SMCI stock could lose access to critical ETFs and its spot in the S&amp;P 500, leaving it to trade over the counter. 
This downgrade could scare off institutional investors and trigger further downward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia&#8217;s Earnings &#8211; A Litmus Test For SMCI Stock Investors</h2>
Despite the doom and gloom, Super Micro isn't entirely out of moves. An independent <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/9e8eae65-8c29-4ab9-aea6-89e0a7a2f356">committee</a> has found no evidence of fraud among its management and plans to recommend remedial measures soon. If these measures, combined with a plausible compliance plan for Nasdaq, are compelling enough, Super Micro could buy itself more time to recover.
But even if SMCI clears these hurdles, regaining Nvidia's trust and rebuilding its credibility in the market won't be a walk in the park. 
For now, Nvidia's earnings report might be a forecast for the AI boom and a litmus test for Super Micro's survival. Investors should brace for a make-or-break week ahead.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Friday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Akanda&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/akan-stock-quote/">AKAN</a>) stock is on the rise Friday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the cannabis company&rsquo;s shares this morning.



This has more than 6.8 million shares of AKAN stock changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s well above the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume of about 1.3 million shares. It&rsquo;s also higher than Akanda&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AKAN/key-statistics/">float of 760,620 units</a>.



This increase in trading volume on Friday comes without any clear news from Akanda. That includes no press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There also isn&rsquo;t any analyst coverage causing today&rsquo;s rally.



One thing that traders will keep in mind is AKAN being a penny stock. This comes from its prior closing price of only $1.45 and a market capitalization of just $2.779 million.



<h2>What That Means for AKAN Stock</h2>



Investors will want to be wary of AKAN alongside today&rsquo;s rally. With the lack of news and sudden surge in trading volume, it has some signs of a pump and dump. The alternative is speculative traders boost the shares higher.



No matter the case, it makes AKAN stock a risky investment right now. That means investors will want to be careful about taking a stake in the company.



AKAN stock is up 34.1% as of Friday morning.

</ul>On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&#8239;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that&#8239;InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
