The cryptocurrency market witnessed significant downsides last week, although some coins exhibited resilience with meaningful gains.
What happened: BGB, the utility token for the centralized exchange Bitget, emerged as the best performer, rallying more than 11% over the week.
The Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) based coin has more than doubled in value during the last month, reaching an all-time high of $8.45 in the final week of 2024.
XDC, belonging to the XDC Network, was the second-highest gainer, lifting 5.42% over the week.&nbsp;
The XDC Network is a Layer-1 blockchain that aids in the tokenization of real-world assets.&nbsp;
Payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP rose 4.54%, becoming the most successful large-cap cryptocurrency in the last week.
Part of the excitement stemmed from Ripple Labs President Monica Long&#8217;s statement that an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42878368/xrp-etf-very-soon-likely-next-after-bitcoin-and-ethereum-ripple-president-says">XRP exchange-traded fund</a> would be approved &#8220;very soon.&#8221;

Bitcoin, Ethereum Lost Way But XRP Made Promising Headway — Here Are The Best Performers From Last Week

An investor dumped Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) tokens at a loss on Sunday as the second-largest cryptocurrency capped off the week with double-digit negative returns.
What happened: A prominent whale, which controlled three wallets, swapped 10,070 Ether for 33 million in stablecoin Dai (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/dai/usd">DAI</a>), losing a million in the sale, according to Lookonchain.
The investor withdrew 24,029 Ether for a little over $81 million from cryptocurrency exchange Binance three weeks ago. After the latest sale, the investor was left with a bag of 13,959 ETH, worth $45.48 million.

However, the bearish sentiment wasn&#8217;t limited to any single entity. According to blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock, net inflows to exchanges <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">spiked</a> 791% to $338 million in the last 24 hours, suggesting that more ETH was entering than leaving exchanges, presumably to be sold off. 
Large transactions, valued at $100,000, also jumped by over 70%, implying greater engagement by whales.

Why It Matters: The second-largest cryptocurrency was in the middle of a corrective phase that has eroded over 11% of its value in a week.
The coin&#8217;s momentum indicators painted a bearish picture. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares a stock's short-term price to its long-term price, flashed a ‘Sell&#8217; signal, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView. The Relative Strength Index, used to measure if the asset is overbought or oversold, was in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone. 
However, derivatives traders were confident of a recovery. More than 82% of all traders on Binance with an active contract were long on Ethereum, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $3,250.93, down 0.92% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Ethereum Whale Offloads $33 Million In ETH At A Loss As Crypto Sinks 11% In A Week — This Is What Indicators Suggest

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) for its lack of innovation and restrictive policies during a recent Joe Rogan podcast appearance on Saturday, escalating a long-standing rivalry between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42931722/steve-jobs-invented-the-iphone-and-now-theyre-justsitting-on-it-mark-zuckerberg-hints-at-apples-potential-downfall-amid-iphone-makers-random-rules">Silicon Valley&#8217;s tech giants</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they&#8217;re just kind of sitting on it 20 years later,&#8221; Zuckerberg said, suggesting Apple hasn&#8217;t &#8220;really invented anything great in a while.&#8221; He also claimed Meta&#8217;s profits could double without Apple&#8217;s &#8220;random rules&#8221; and 30% App Store commission.
The criticism comes as Apple faces mounting regulatory pressure over its App Store policies. The U.S. Department of Justice is pursuing antitrust action against the iPhone maker, while European Union regulations are forcing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42086154/apple-to-argue-for-dismissal-of-doj-antitrust-case-over-alleged-us-smartphone-market-domination">changes to its closed ecosystem</a>.
This latest clash follows years of tension between the two companies, dating back to 2014 when Apple CEO Tim Cook first criticized Facebook&#8217;s data collection practices. The relationship deteriorated further after the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal when Cook publicly stated on MSNBC that he &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t be in this situation&#8221; regarding Facebook&#8217;s privacy issues.

Why It Matters: The conflict intensified in 2021 when Apple introduced privacy features requiring apps to get user permission for tracking, significantly impacting Meta&#8217;s advertising revenue. Zuckerberg reportedly told executives that Facebook needed to &#8220;inflict pain&#8221; on Apple in response, according <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/26/technology/mark-zuckerberg-tim-cook-facebook-apple.html">to</a> the New York Times.
More recently, Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38424000/mark-zuckerberg-shades-apple-vision-pro-once-again-calls-it-fashionable-ai-glasses-without-a-display">questioned the market viability</a> of Apple&#8217;s Vision Pro headset during Meta&#8217;s first-quarter 2023 earnings call, suggesting consumers would prefer &#8220;fashionable AI glasses without a display.&#8221;
For investors, this ongoing rivalry highlights fundamental differences in business models: Meta&#8217;s advertising-dependent, data-driven approach versus Apple&#8217;s hardware-focused, privacy-centric strategy. While Meta&#8217;s stock surged on Thursday, reaching $615.01, Apple shares have declined 2.34% to $237.02, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Criticizes Apple For Stagnation, Highlighting Years-Long Rivalry With Tim Cook: Here's The Backstory

Shytoshi Kusama, the mysterious personality associated with the Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem, explained the utility and significance of the soon-to-be-launched TREAT token.
What happened: In a Saturday blog post, Kusama said TREAT stands for &#8220;Transactional Rewards for Engagement &amp; Access Token,&#8221; placing it at the center of the so-called technology stack, the 36 Chambers of Tech.
&#8220;It's truly a game changer when you combine it with the access it provides our Shibizens,&#8221; Kusama said, underscoring TREAT&#8217;s significance as a governance, reward, and utility token.
The 36 Chambers of Tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42679813/shytoshi-kusama-celebrates-as-shibainus-virtual-world-shib-the-metaverse-goes-live-on-christmas">are pieces of technology</a> that the ecosystem developed during the cryptocurrency bear market, including decentralized exchange&nbsp;ShibaSwap,&nbsp;Layer-2 chain Shibarium, and the virtual space,&nbsp;Shib: The Metaverse.
Kusama added that many of these technologies will extensively use TREAT to power their operations.

TREAT is the latest addition to the Shiba Inu&#8217;s token arsenal, one that already includes SHIB, the pre-eminent meme coin,&nbsp;Doge Killer&nbsp;(LEASH),&nbsp;Bone ShibaSwap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONE</a>). 
The Shiba Inu team has announced a TREAT airdrop, outlining steps to claim the tokens ahead of the formal launch on Jan. 14.

Shytoshi Kusama Outlines TREAT Token's Usefulness Ahead Of Launch, Optimistic Whales Buy Up Shiba Inu

Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s nominee for Treasury Secretary, has disclosed owning between $250,001 and $500,000 in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), according to financial documents released Saturday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
What Happened: The disclosure comes as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) trades near $94,227, following a pullback from its December peak of $108,135. BTC has drawn increased attention amid expectations of crypto-friendly policies under the incoming Trump administration.
Bessent, founder of Key Square Capital Management, reported total assets worth at least $521 million, though the actual value could be substantially higher due to broad reporting ranges. His largest holdings include positions exceeding $50 million each in major ETFs like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)&nbsp; and Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
The hedge fund veteran maintains significant currency positions, with over $50 million each in dollar trades against the euro, Chinese yuan, and Japanese yen. He also holds more than $50 million in U.S. Treasury bills, highlighting substantial exposure to government securities.

Why It Matters: To address potential conflicts of interest, Bessent pledged to resign from Key Square and divest his partnership stake if confirmed by the Senate, according to Reuters. 
The nomination comes as Trump has signaled plans for a national cryptocurrency strategy, including a potential executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. However, the Federal Reserve recently stated it lacks the authority to acquire Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42908193/exclusive-answering-key-questions-about-bitcoins-future-before-inauguration">without legislative changes</a>.
Bessent&#8217;s portfolio also includes luxury real estate, with properties in the Bahamas and Cashiers, N.C., each valued between $5 million and $25 million, as well as art and antiques worth $1 million to $5 million.

What Happened: Bitcoin surged to $95,740 during the evening, capping off a choppy day for the world's leading cryptocurrency. The asset fluctuated between $94,000 and $95,000 for much of the weekend before breaking out to the upside. 
Corrective price action has been in place since Bitcoin's rally to $102,000 last week.
Ethereum followed a similar trajectory, plunging from the highs of $3,700 to $3,00 over the week.
About $149.81 million were liquidated in the last 24 hours, with upside bets accounting for $100 million.&nbsp;
A further drop to $90,000 will liquidate $417 million of long positions.
However, the market seemed hopeful about a comeback, with 61% of Binance traders betting on Bitcoin&#8217;s gain based on the Long/Short ratio.
The market sentiment advanced from "Neutral" to "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, indicating a surge in risk appetite.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.3 trillion, falling by 0.50% in the last 24 hours.
Stock futures remained largely unchanged in overnight trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 22 points, or 0.05%, as of 7:43 p.m. EDT.&nbsp; Futures tied to the S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.09%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures dipped 0.03%.

However, it raised concerns over the pace of interest rate cuts, triggering a sell-off.
This week, investors will focus on key inflation data, such as the consumer price index and the producer price index for December.

Analyst Notes: Legendary trader Peter Brandt noted a head and shoulders chart pattern for Bitcoin, suggesting that it could either complete, fail as a bear trap, or morph into a broader pattern.
A bearish pattern shows a baseline with three peaks, with the middle peak being the highest, indicating a reversal of an upward trend.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rise As 'Greed' Sentiment Takes Over: Top Analyst Says Breaking This Resistance Level Could Be 'Pivotal' For BTC

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg agreed with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s cautious outlook on quantum computing, saying that the technology remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42867168/nvidias-jensen-huang-said-something-that-has-all-quantum-computing-stocks-tumbling-qubt-and-rgti-down-13-ionq-down-11">years away from practical implementation</a>.
What Happened: Speaking on Joe Rogan&#8217;s <a href="https://youtu.be/7k1ehaE0bdU?feature=shared">podcast</a> Saturday, Zuckerberg acknowledged his limited expertise but supported the industry consensus of a decade-long timeline for widespread quantum computing adoption. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m not really an expert on quantum computing, but my understanding is that it&#8217;s still quite a ways off from being a truly practical paradigm,&#8221; Zuckerberg said.
His comments follow Huang&#8217;s recent statement at Nvidia&#8217;s CES 2025 that practical quantum computers could be 15 to 30 years away, which triggered significant market turbulence. 
Quantum computing stocks saw sharp declines last week after Huang&#8217;s comments, with IonQ Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) falling 39%, Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>) dropping 43.34%, and Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) tumbling 45.41%.

Why It Matters: However, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) CEO Alan Baratz strongly contested Huang&#8217;s timeline. &#8220;Not 30 years from now, not 20 years from now, not 15 years from now, but right now today,&#8221; Baratz said, citing existing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42892470/jensen-huang-is-dead-wrong-about-quantum-computing-d-wave-ceo-fires-back-at-nvidia-boss-happy-to-meet-with-jensen-any-time-any-place-to-help-fill-in-these-gaps">commercial applications with companies</a> like Mastercard Inc.
Zuckerberg&#8217;s broader technology perspective emphasized AI development, suggesting advanced artificial intelligence systems would likely precede quantum computing breakthroughs. He advocated for widespread AI deployment as a security measure, drawing parallels to software vulnerability management.
Market analyst Jim Cramer urged investors to exercise caution regarding quantum computing investments, warning about sector overvaluation. &#8220;We need you out before the froth goes away,&#8221; Cramer said, as quantum computing stocks retreated from their previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42890014/jim-cramer-warns-on-quantum-stories-as-stocks-plunge-we-need-you-out-before-the-froth-goes-away">gains of up to 800% over the past year</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Backs Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's View On Quantum Computing: 'It's Still Quite A Ways Off'

Last year, the Hollywood reporter cited an anonymous source suggesting that U2 frontman Bono is among the investors behind a striking spec-built mansion just above Los Angeles's Sunset Boulevard.
According to Robb Report, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37541820/las-ultra-wealthy-residents-resort-to-shell-game-to-skirt-city-mansion-tax">avant-garde residence</a> features a unique triangular structure that appears to hover over the lower level. This structure is easily spotted by those heading north of Fairfax Avenue.
Although Robb Report said it could not independently verify the music legend's involvement with the architectural showpiece, public records indicate that Bono – born Paul Hewson – played a key role in acquiring a nearby property.

Whether the property was purchased for personal use or investment purposes remains unclear. However, Bono and his longtime wife, Ali Hewson, own several impressive properties worldwide, including a sprawling estate with a tennis court and a pool overlooking Killiney Beach near Dublin and a waterfront villa in the South of France.
They also own a penthouse in New York City's iconic San Remo building on Central Park West, which they acquired in 2003 for about $14.5 million from late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.
Beyond his music career, Bono is a dedicated social justice activist with U2 and on his own. He is especially known for his efforts to combat extreme poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. To advance these causes, he has participated in benefit concerts and political advocacy, lobbying influential leaders for support and relief initiatives.

In a world where tech founders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/42771258/worlds-top-10-richest-people-gained-more-wealth-in-2024-than-costco-and-nikes-combined-valuation-how-elon-musk-warren-buffett-and-others-fared">chase billion-dollar valuations</a>, Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist, has taken a drastically different approach. He's resisted the allure of vast fortunes and actively rejected them. Why? Because, as he puts it, "you should know when enough is enough."
Craigslist, the minimalist website connecting people for decades, is one of the most visited websites globally. With 250 million monthly users, it's not far behind giants like Amazon. And yet, Craigslist generates less than $1 billion annually. Compare that to platforms charging hefty transaction fees and Craigslist could easily rake in tens of billions. But that's never been Craig's goal.

<ul>
<li>With 100+ historic trademarks including some of the high grossing characters in history, like Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">this company is transforming the $2 trillion entertainment market with patented AR, VR, and AI tech. — For a short window, investors are able to claim $2/share ($980 min).</a></li>

</ul>
By design, the company doesn't make a single cent on most transactions. Instead, the site charges modest fees for job postings and apartment listings in select cities – a choice inspired by users who felt they were getting better value compared to other platforms.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Not Redesign?</h2>
If you've ever used Craigslist, you've probably noticed it hasn't changed much since the 1990s. No sleek designs or flashy updates – just a simple, functional interface. "People want it simple, fast and effective,"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwS2On-IG6o"> Craig said</a>. While designers have pitched modern overhauls, Craig and his team have stuck to the basics.
This approach is intentional. Craigslist hasn't poured money into maximizing user retention or playing the UI game, unlike other tech platforms. "Fancy may not be the answer," Craig pointed out. Instead, the platform prioritizes usability, helping people find jobs, homes and items to buy or sell with minimal fuss.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Down Billions</h2>
Over the years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-venture-capital">venture capitalists</a> have approached Craig with massive offers, urging him to monetize more aggressively or sell. They saw a gold mine in Craigslist's scale and suggested ads, subscriptions or transaction fees. But Craig wasn't interested.
"I don't need billions,"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKfg69v-X3g"> he said</a>. "I've met a bunch of rich people and none of them are all that happy." According to Forbes, Newmark was a billionaire for years before dropping off the list in 2020. &#8220;Had I done the usual Silicon Valley thing … I'd be worth $11 billion." Instead, Craig leaned on lessons from his childhood. In Sunday school, he learned to treat people the way he'd want to be treated. To him, it's not altruistic, just basic fairness.
Craig's rejection of billions isn't as much about simplicity as impact. By keeping costs low and the platform accessible, Craigslist has helped millions of people find jobs, homes and opportunities. "In a lot of ways, [Craigslist] is helping people put food on the table," he said.
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Humble Rise of Craigslist</h2>
Craig started Craigslist in 1995 as an email list to share local events. It quickly exceeded his expectations, adding categories like jobs, housing and for-sale items. By 1999, it became a company, but even then, Craig remained humble. He stepped back from management, admitting he wasn't a great boss and instead worked as a customer service rep for 15 years.
People would email him directly at <a href="mailto:Craig@craigslist.org">Craig@craigslist.org</a>. "I spent a lot of time doing that kind of thing and got a lot of stuff done." His approach to customer service reflected his broader philosophy: fairness, simplicity and community.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Living Modestly and Giving Back</h2>
Today, Craig is retired but busier than ever, focusing on philanthropy. He's donated millions to causes like internet freedom, unbiased journalism and veteran support. He's also been a major donor to Wikipedia, reflecting his commitment to accessible public resources. He&#8217;s even pledging $300 million to prevent cybercrimes against the U.S.
"The deal is our country is under attack now," he told Yahoo Finance. "It's not like I'm in the recruiting line after Pearl Harbor because my dad volunteered in the &#8217;40s, but I guess that's what I should be doing."
Despite his wealth, Craig lives modestly. He doesn't own a car, prefers public transportation and avoids unnecessary luxuries.

Biographer Seth Abramson, who says he is writing a biography of Elon Musk, has expressed concerns over the mental health of the billionaire entrepreneur, citing his recent online behavior.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a post on X last week, Abramson, who has been tracking Musk&#8217;s online activities for the past two years, voiced his fears about Musk&#8217;s mental wellbeing. 
He stated, &#8220;I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I&#8217;m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years, and given that he&#8217;s admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.&#8221;

Abramson&#8217;s concerns stem from Musk&#8217;s own admissions&nbsp;of mental illness, heavy drug&nbsp;use, and crippling stress. The biographer&#8217;s post has since garnered over 4.1 million views, sparking widespread discussion about the mental health of high-profile individuals like Musk.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and&nbsp;SpaceX, is one of the most influential figures in the tech industry. His mental health could potentially impact the operations and stock performance of his companies.
Moreover, Abramson&#8217;s tweet highlights the importance of mental health awareness, even among successful individuals. It serves as a reminder that mental health issues do not discriminate and can affect anyone, regardless of their status or achievements.

DOJ Sues 6 Of The Largest Landlords For Pricing Schemes That Harmed Struggling Renters
The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday amended its <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-six-large-landlords-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions">antitrust lawsuit</a> against RealPage to include six of the nation's largest landlords for allegedly participating in algorithmic pricing schemes.&nbsp;
The lawsuit accuses Greystar Real Estate Partners LLC, Blackstone's LivCor LLC, Camden Property Trust, Cushman &amp; Wakefield Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CWK#NYSE">CWK</a>) and Pinnacle Property Management Services LLC,&nbsp; Willow Bridge Property Company LLC and Cortland Management LLC of sharing data on rents and occupancy with competing firms in order to avoid lowering rents.&nbsp;
The landlords, who collectively operate more than 1.3 million units in 43 states and the District of Columbia, allegedly shared information including renewal rates and even their approach to pricing for the next quarter.

"While Americans across the country struggled to afford housing, the landlords named in today's lawsuit shared sensitive information about rental prices and used algorithms to coordinate to keep the price of rent high," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Doha Mekki of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.&nbsp;
"Today's action against RealPage and six major landlords seeks to end their practice of putting profits over people and make housing more affordable for millions of people across the country," Mekki added.&nbsp;
Oklahoma Man Pleads Guilty To $9.4 Million Crypto Scheme
Travis Ford, 35, of Glenpool Oklahoma, on Friday pleaded guilty to his role in a cryptocurrency investment scheme that raised $9.4 million from approximately 2,800 investors through fraudulent conduct.
Ford was the CEO, co-founder, and head trader of Wolf Capital Crypto Trading LLC, a purported cryptocurrency investment firm. From January 2023 through August 2023, Ford solicited investments through Wolf Capital's website and other social media and internet-based promotion activities and marketed himself as a sophisticated trader.&nbsp;
Ford lured victims with promises of high returns of 1% to 2% per day and later admitted that he did not believe those investment returns were possible to achieve consistently. Ford also misappropriated and diverted investor funds to benefit himself and his co-conspirators, to the financial detriment of his investors.

Financial Crime Weekly: DOJ Sues 6 Of The Nation's Largest Landlords, Man Pleads Guilty To $9.4 Million Crypto Scheme

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a member of the nation&#8217;s Social Democratic Party, has raised concerns over President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42889488/pentagon-dismisses-greenland-invasion-plans-following-trumps-comments-were-concerned-with-the-real-national-secur" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">moves on border integrity</a>.
Scholz, who has been chancellor since 2021, highlighted shaky times ahead in relations with Washington and also suggested the rise of the far right in neighboring Austria at a party congress in Berlin, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-11/scholz-derides-cdu-tax-plans-as-attack-on-germany-s-workers?srnd=phx-politics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> Bloomberg.
Per Scholz, Trump&#8217;s current expansionist oratory against Greenland and Canada, as well as the Panama Canal, give him cause for worry.
Scholz emphasized to the audience that the principle of inviolability of borders applies to all nations, stating that no country should be treated as the backyard of another, Bloomberg adds, quoting the German leader.

During a news conference on Tuesday, Trump stated that NATO should increase its defense spending target to 5% of GDP, up from the current 2%, AP News <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/germany-scholz-trump-denmark-greenland-792cf697a69c0f17291dc6a18aba1355" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Germany, which faced criticism from Trump in his first term for not meeting the 2% target, raised its spending after Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the report adds.
Scholz responded that NATO has a set procedure for determining the required military capabilities and emphasized the importance of unity in addressing these issues.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that Scholz&#8217;s conservative challenger, Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Union, stated that Trump&#8217;s sentiments won&#8217;t intimidate him.
Merz emphasized that Germany should focus on strengthening its economic and military power.
Ahead of a federal election next month in Germany, Scholz faces growing pressure to address Trump&#8217;s calls for increased defense spending while balancing domestic priorities.

Scholz Warns of Tension with Trump as Border Integrity and NATO Spending Loom Over Germany's Election

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s estranged niece Mary Trump has weighed in on her uncle&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42497190/mary-trump-slams-uncle-over-anti-birthright-citizenship-stance-a-deeply-ignorant-cruel-man">controversial comments</a> on the continuing wildfires in southern California.
What Happened: At least 16 people have died in the Eaton and Palisades fires, according to the latest update from the&nbsp;County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. The fires have also led to the evacuation of more than 153,000 residents.
According to reports, the Pacific Palisades fire, fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, is anticipated to continue burning until it reaches the Pacific Ocean.&nbsp;Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin&nbsp;Crowley&nbsp;cautioned, &#8220;We are absolutely not out&nbsp;of danger yet.&#8221;
Amid the devastation, Mary Trump shared her thoughts on her uncle&#8217;s response and handling of the crisis. The President-elect&#8217;s social media posts blaming Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) for the fires have been dismissed as &#8220;pure fiction&#8221; by Newsom&#8217;s office.
"One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It's ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!" Trump wrote in one post.

&#8220;Unfortunately for us, one of the people who has been most vocal, and least useful, during this ongoing tragedy — Donald Trump — is terrible in a crisis. By that, I don't mean he doesn't handle crises well (although this is undoubtedly true), I mean he exploits tragedies for his own ends, making things worse for the rest of us in the process,&#8221; Mary Trump wrote in a blog post.
&#8220;I do know what Donald gets out of stirring up chaos and division during those times when we need unity. Division benefits him, even if, or maybe especially if it&#8217;s at the expense of the rest of us. Division wears us down, even as it leaves him unaltered. I actually think it energizes him,&#8221; she added. 
&#8220;One of the most frustrating things about all of this is that none of it is surprising — Donald is no longer an unknown quantity. After four years of his first administration, we are all too familiar with the sort of chaos he brings to already fraught situations. He has, in fact, a long, sordid history of making things worse,&#8221; Mary Trump wrote.
&#8220;Remember, it was during Covid that Donald found the most effective way to tear us apart. Because what was true then, what has always been true, and will always be true is that if Donald Trump can in any way profit from your death, he will facilitate it, and then he will ignore the fact that you died,&#8221; she said. 
Victims of the wildfires have been encouraged to register for assistance through the FEMA website, app, or hotline. Several organizations, such as the California Fire Foundation and the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles, are offering support to those affected.
