A US District Court for the District of Nevada has fined Circle Society and owner David Gilbert Saffron for operating a cryptocurrency ponzi scheme. This is according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Circle Society Ponzi Scheme

The regulator stated that both the Nevada-based corporation and its operator have to pay $32 million as ordered by the court.

Saffron, an Australian citizen, residing in the US, started the firm Circle society to offer binary options on forex and cryptocurrency pairs. Both he and the company allegedly deceived investors to send funds in order to participate in a commodity pool, with promises of high returns.

As China’s bitcoin mining industry grows bigger, some researchers believe the electricity-gulping bitcoin mining may prevent China from achieving its climate goals.

This was made known in a recent study published in the Journal Nature by the researchers. 

Increasing Concerns Over Climate Security

The study reveals that China powers approximately 80% of the world trade in cryptocurrency.

Given the fact that Bitcoin operates on the blockchain, every transaction is encrypted by a network operated by miners, which use high electricity consumption in the process.

The miners use high-powered computers to validate transactions, which consumes huge electricity and may have implications on climate security.

However, the Journal Nature report shows that 40% of China’s Bitcoin is powered by coal. This is where the problem starts. 

Researchers believe that since most of these big coal plants emit carbon, they may have adverse effects on the climate’s health.

While China projects to overcome … Read more
