The crypto trading platform Coinseed is shutting down operations according to a written statement from the company’s CEO Delgerdalai Davaasambuu. A court order secured by New York Attorney General Letitia James told Coinseed to halt all of its operations. Following the announcement of the shutdown, Coinseed’s CEO said he created an ERC20 token called “FLJ” that’s dedicated to Attorney James “and her cronies.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James Obtains Court Order, Agency Claims 170 Complaints Filed

Coinseed is calling it quits after the firm was served with a court order to continue “a mandated pause” on operations. Bitcoin.cоm News reported during the first week of May when James announced that the attorney general took “legal action” against Coinseed. The platform was also instructed by the U.S. government to “immediately halt” all operations.

The court order obtained by the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the press release that followed, said that the shutdown is meant to ensure the “protection of investors’ money going forward.” Moreover, the NYAG claimed it obtained more than 170 complaints from investors involved with Coinseed operations.

“When platforms operating illegally in New York seek to trade on investors’ money, we will use every tool at our disposal to stop their unlawful actions,” said Attorney General James. “This order appoints a court-appointed receiver before any other investments are squandered by Coinseed and its CEO. We will not allow rogue operators to hold innocent investors’ funds hostage,” the NYAG added.

Coinseed CEO Tells NY Crypto Operators To Run Away, FLJ Token Created for ‘NYAG and Her Cronies’

The company’s CEO Delgerdalai Davaasambuu wrote on the website coinseed.cо that the company’s “fatal mistake” was its association with the state of New York. In 2017, Coinseed conducted an initial coin offering (ICO) and the CEO claims it was raised from “non-US investors (mostly European) to support Coinseed’s future development.”

“Immediately upon our ICO, they subpoenaed us over the ICO and they have been constantly harassing us for the last 3 years,” the Coinseed executive stressed. He added:

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has lost his lawsuit against Youtube over bitcoin giveaway scams using his name and image. The judge reportedly said that “Youtube and its parent, Google LLC, are protected by the federal law that shields internet platforms from responsibility for content posted by users.”

Bitcoin Giveaway Scams Continue on Youtube as Steve Wozniak Loses Lawsuit

Steve Wozniak has lost his lawsuit against Youtube over bitcoin giveaway scams on the video-sharing platform fraudulently using his name and image. Bloomberg conveyed that Judge Sunil R. Kulkarni of the Superior Court of Santa Clara County said in a tentative ruling Wednesday:

"Youtube and its parent, Google LLC, are protected by the federal law that shields internet platforms from responsibility for content posted by users."

Scammers have been using Youtube to post videos claiming that famous people are giving away bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, such as ether. They promise to double the amount of bitcoin sent to them.

Besides Wozniak, scammers have used the names and images of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and Richard Branson. They have also used some well-known people in the crypto space, such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin. Bitcoin News reported in July last year that the Elon Musk bitcoin giveaway scam raked in millions of dollars.

Wozniak and 17 other fraud victims sued Youtube and Google in July last year. They argued in the lawsuit that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act should not apply to their case because Youtube not only failed to remove the scam videos but “materially contributed” to the scam.

Wozniak claimed that the video-sharing platform profited from the scam by selling targeted ads, driving traffic to the fraudulent videos after falsely verifying the scammers’ Youtube channels.

However, Judge Kulkarnia told Wozniak that those factors were not enough to overcome the immunity provided by Section 230. She gave the Apple co-founder 30 days to revise his complaint.

Bitcoin bull Mike Novogratz’s company, Galaxy Digital, has analyzed dogecoin and concluded that “despite its deficiencies, dogecoin has remarkably strong fundamentals and powerful forces supporting its rise.” Novogratz admitted that he had been too bearish on the cryptocurrency.


Dogecoin Should Not Be Ignored, Says Galaxy Digital

Galaxy Digital Research published a report on Tuesday entitled “Dogecoin: The Most Honest Sh*tcoin.” The report outlines the history and progress of Dogecoin, noting that its appeal “has always been its honesty.” The authors described that “Unlike many other cryptocurrency projects, Dogecoin does not seek, or even pretend, to be anything more than to be the world’s most fun currency.”

The report also adds that “with no pre-mine or ICO, Dogecoin’s fair launch positions it more closely to Bitcoin than most other projects in the space, ensuring that no hidden group of insiders stands to benefit disproportionately from its rise.”

While acknowledging that dogecoin “is the best performing major digital asset year to date” and “more people than ever before own DOGE,” the report highlights some major deficiencies of the meme cryptocurrency. “Dogecoin has zero development,” the authors began. “Few people run full nodes and those who do often have difficulty downloading the chain or staying synced with the network. There’s no market infrastructure, barely any wallet software, and despite being more than 7 years old, many exchanges still don’t support it. There is no serious long-term narrative or use-case supporting its wide adoption. And it’s not clear whether DOGE holders are dogmatic about the coin’s long-term prospects.”

Admitting that when they set out to write the report, they expected to find that “Dogecoin is a joke … not credible, resilient, or adopted,” the authors wrote:

"""
As we reviewed the data, we found that, despite its deficiencies, Dogecoin has remarkably strong fundamentals and powerful forces supporting its rise: a genuine origin story, longevity, and a growing community of users who appear determined to meme a Shiba Inu-themed global currency into existence.
"""

Nonetheless, they emphasized, “We don’t expect Dogecoin to become the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency any time soon, but DOGE should not be ignored.”

Among those who have significantly contributed to the rise in the price and adoption of the meme coin are Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban.

A Sudbury man was using the “dark web” to find and download child pornography, authorities said.

Police arrested Tyson Tu, 49, on Wednesday at his 22 Colburn Circle home, police said.

“The arrest comes after a lengthy investigation by the Sudbury police detectives in conjunction with members of the Homeland Security Investigations Cyber-Crimes/Child Exploitation Boston Field office Task Force,” Lt. John Perodeau said.

During the investigation, police obtained several subpoenas and served several search warrants, as well as used surveillance, police said. During the investigation, police found “multiple images of very young minor aged victims.”

According to police, Tu was using the “dark web” to find the images. The “dark web” is a term given to encrypted online content that is not found on normal search engines.

“Currently, there is no reason to believe that Mr. Tu was involved in creating any of the material,” police said in a statement.

Police charged Tu with two counts of possession of child pornography. He was held on $50,000 bail overnight at the Sudbury Police Department.

Tu was released without bail after his arraignment Wednesday in Framingham District Court. He is due back in court on June 28 for a pretrial conference.

A resident of Southern California has been handed a 3-year prison sentence after being found guilty for fraudulently getting $500,000 as COVID-19-related relief meant to serve as unemployment benefits.

Reportedly, the accused made the more than half a million dollars by using the dark web to access the stolen identities belonging to dozens of people. 33-year-old Cara Marie Kirk-Connell was sentenced by a U.S. District Judge after pleading guilty in the last month of the year 2020.

According to the authorities, the crime was committed between the months of May and October 2020, where the defendant is reported to have used personal identifiable information – including dates of birth and Social Security numbers – that had been stolen and availed in the hidden web.

The court also learnt that Kirk-Connell had acquired the needed fraud skills by watching a number of YouTube tutorials to learn how to orchestrate unemployment insurance fraud. She would then go ahead to use the stolen information and personal identities to write applications for unemployment benefits from the California Employment Development Department (EDD).

A press release by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intimated that the defendant was apprehended in September 2020 by traffic police who discovered eight EDD debit cards (in other people’s identities) in her possession.

Investigators revealed that on the day before the arrest, Kirk-Connell had illegally used the EDD debit cards to make cash withdrawals of more than $1,000. Her arrest occurred the following month where federal law enforcement agents found four EDD debit cards in her purse, four more debit cards in other people’s names stashed in her car trunk, and about $10,000 in cash.

While shining light on the case, prosecutors noted Kirk-Connell’s role in a much bigger conspiracy that spans across the State of California. It turns out that the COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a large number of criminals that are looking to employ identity theft in fraudulently obtaining employment insurance benefits from EDD.

Essentially, the California EDD has been tasked with issuing unemployment benefits as espoused in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which was sanctioned by the U.S. Congress in March 2020.

Referred to the CARES Act, this law was extended unemployment benefits to include persons that were previously ineligible – it includes entrepreneurs, self-employed persons, and independent contractors.

The lists of people covered by the legislation are considered to be all persons that lost their businesses or were forced to scale commercial operations down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What Are Some of the Most Common Fraud Schemes in This Pandemic?

So far, the State of California has been robbed billions of dollars through this form of dark-web enabled crime alone. This reality comes hot in the heels of reports showing that California has surpassed New York as the U.S. state with the highest numbers if COVID deaths.

Overall, government-sanctioned restrictions and lockdowns have knocked millions of Americans off work and left the U.S. economy bleeding. A direct effect has been seen in the rise of fraud cases where criminals are looking to exploit the fear and uncertainty that people across the country are struggling to confront.

The occurrence of government impersonators targeting victims to convince them to part with money for COVID testing, financial relief, or medical supplies is common.

The dark web has also registered a sharp increase in market listings for fake cures and medical equipment.

In addition, work-from-home scams are being committed by criminals who are asking victims to pay money in return for “jobs”. The same observation has been made in the investment sector where criminals are offering an opportunity for oblivious victims to invest in purported COVID-19 cures and treatments
