China’s Shenzhen People’s Procuratorate says it has filed a public prosecution against Sui Guangyi, Ma Xiaoqiu, and 28 others, alleging a multi-layered illegal fundraising scheme tied to Ding Yifeng Asset Management and affiliated entities—including the marketing of “DDO Digital Options” described by authorities and Chinese media as an “air coin” style token product.
Two former senior gambling executives—Kenny Alexander (ex-Entain CEO) and Lee Feldman (ex-Entain chair)—have lost a civil case against the UK Gambling Commission after alleging the regulator misused private information and breached confidence during a licence-review episode linked to their attempted move into 888 Holdings. The ruling lands against the backdrop of a separate criminal prosecution in which both men are charged with bribery- and fraud-related conspiracies connected to gambling operations in Turkey.
In the age of instant payments, blockchains, and embedded finance, dirty money doesn’t just move—it teleports. While illegal casinos, offshore brokers, and cybercrime rings industrialize their pipelines, regulators are dismantling the only systems that could still stop them. The SEC and CFTC whistleblower collapse is not a technical glitch. It is a global warning.
Former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been arraigned in New York after a pre-dawn U.S. special-forces raid in Caracas. Washington frames it as a law-enforcement action to bring an indicted “narco-terrorist” to court. Critics call it abduction, a sovereignty breach—and a precedent that could boomerang.

The U.S. artists Bill Posters and Daniel Howe published a so-called ‘deepfake‘ video to Instagram in which Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a sinister speech about the power of Facebook and praised the artists’ Spectre project.
Imagine this for a second: One man, with total control of billions of people’s stolen data, all their secrets, their lives, their futures […] I owe it all to Spectre. Spectre showed me that whoever controls the data, controls the future.”
Mark Zuckderberg praising Spectre in the deepfake video
Spectre is a fictitious secret organization as well as the title of a James Bond franchise. The story sees Bond fighting against the global criminal organization and their leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In fact, the “Deepfake Zuckerberg” would fit well into this Spectre.
The video was seen as a test of Facebook’s policy that allows manipulated video on its sites, like the one recently posted of Nancy Pelosi, which had been edited to slur her.
The original, real video was published in September 2017. Zuckerberg gave an address about Russian election interference on Facebook. The caption of the Instagram post says it’s created using CannyAI’s video dialogue replacement (VDR) technology.
