- 🧑⚖️ CZ sentenced to 4 months. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is going to prison but for much less time than the DOJ fought for – just 4 months compared to the 36 months prosecutors sought. He’s the richest person ever to go to prison in the U.S.
- 💰 Early Bitcoiner charged by DOJ. Roger Ver, a prominent early bitcoin investor and evangelist, was charged by the DOJ for allegedly evading nearly $50M in taxes on his BTC gains.
- ⚡️ Coinbase integrates Bitcoin’s Lightning. Coinbase rolled out support for low-cost bitcoin transfers on the network through a partnership with David Marcus’s Lightspark startup.
