Tether blacklist saved shareholders defrauded by bank CEO

When Shan Hanes, the former CEO of Heartland Tri-State Bank, was sentenced to 293 months in prison for his part in an embezzlement scheme that saw him direct over $47 million dollars into a “pig butchering” scheme, it was assumed that the failure of the bank would lead to a “complete loss of equity for investors.” However, thanks to the intervention of Tether and its willingness to blacklist addresses, those investors will receive compensation. An Amended Judgement filed today notes that Hanes was forfeiting his claim to funds held in 0xef2797225aCEF65d583F157bbAf023C290D0e7dB , an Ethereum address that the judgment notes is “held by or under the care or custody of Tether Limited.” Checking this address in the tether token contract allowed Protos to confirm that it has been blacklisted by Tether and can no longer transact using the tether token.

‘The Stage Is Set’ – Real Vision Analyst Jamie Coutts Says Several Metrics Flashing Green for Bitcoin

Image
Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts says that the stage is being set for a crypto bull market as multiple indicators turn bullish. On the social media platform X, Coutts says nearly every metric he uses to measure the health of the Bitcoin market cycle is no longer in “overheated” territory, boding well for BTC. “Over the past seven months, Bitcoin’s consolidation has significantly cooled valuation metrics that were overheated in Q1. With the exception of Open Interest at an all-time high (100th percentile), nearly every metric – from MVRV (market value to realized value) and Puell to LTH SOPR (long-term holder spent output profit ratio) and Network Value to Addresses – has reset below the 50th percentile. Much of the sell-off was driven by excess leverage in the derivatives market, mainly on the long side, and that overhang has finally cleared. In September, we saw a classic reload signal with the Puell Multiple briefly hitting oversold, while network security re
