New clues revealed in a US Department of Justice indictment suggest that some of the suspected thieves involved in the $400 million FTX heist have been arrested in the United States.
When more than $400 million worth of crypto was mysteriously pulled out of the coffers of what was once the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, FTX , on the very day that it declared bankruptcy in November of 2022, many initially suspected insiders at the company—including, potentially, then CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, now convicted of fraud.
But clues left across blockchains over the past year suggested instead that external thieves had chosen a particularly inconvenient moment during FTX's meltdown to pull off an enormous heist. Now, new clues revealed in a US Department of Justice indictment suggest something even more surprising: Some of those suspected thieves appear to have been in the United States and have now been arrested. An indictment filed last week details charges against three people—Robert Powell, Carter Rohn, and Emily Hernandez—who are accused of running a massive cybercriminal theft ring

Taiwan's Election: Stakes, Parties, and AccusationsThe stakes in Taiwan's election are high, given that Beijing sees the self-ruling island as a breakaway province and has vowed to take it back — by force, if necessary. Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP, embraces a more independent stance, and its supporters tend to believe in U.S. willingness to assist Taiwan. The opposition Kuomingtang party, or KMT, favors greater engagement with China. Its supporters are more likely to question the trustworthiness of the U.S. There's also the Taiwan People's Party. Founded in 2019, its supporters are mostly young voters who distrust the two major parties.
