Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is scheduled to appear in court on the afternoon of Jan. 3 to enter a plea on two counts of wire fraud and six counts of conspiracy against him in relation to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. After being released on a $250 million bail bond, Bankman-Fried reportedly met with Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, a bestseller that was turned into a movie, spurring speculation that a film about the disgraced exchange’s saga is on the way.

Mango Markets exploiter arrested on fraud charges Maybe it was illegal

Avraham Eisenberg, the hacker who stole $110 million from decentralized exchange Mango Markets, was arrested in Puerto Rico. Eisenberg called the exploit a highly profitable trading strategy and noted that he considered all his actions to be legal open market actions. It appears, however, that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has a different interpretation of the facts. According to the FBI complaint, Eisenberg’s actions constitute both fraud and market manipulation.

Prediction of the Week

Bitcoin not undervalued yet, says research as BTC price drifts nearer to $16K

Bitcoins price has been hovering around $17,000 for the majority of December, according to Cointelegraphs BTC price index.

Based on the analysis of MAC_D, a pseudonymous contributor to the on-chain platform CryptoQuant, Bitcoin is not undervalued yet, as an indicator tracking transactions in profit and loss has yet to repeat its traditional bear market bottom sequence.

Therefore, the BTC is likely to fall further, and spot hedging and down trend trading are required, noted MAC_D.
