Venezuelan Deputy Minister: The restoration of natural gas infrastructure must be accelerated.According to Politico: The U.S. Democratic Party plans to hold a new round of voting on Tuesday night local time on a bill to limit the presidents war powers.On April 28, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that recent tariff policy adjustments in the United States could increase the federal budget deficit by $1.1 trillion over ten years, but the exact figure is currently uncertain. CBO Director Swagel stated that the Supreme Courts ruling that Trumps use of emergency economic powers to impose tariffs was invalid will lead to a $2 trillion increase in the fiscal deficit over ten years; while other trade measures Trump has taken to date to compensate for this loss have added a total of $800 billion to $900 billion in revenue. Swagel stated, "Because the Supreme Court removed some tariffs, and the government reinstated some, the fiscal deficit over ten years will be about $1.1 trillion higher. The government has considerable power to impose new tariffs and adjust them, so its difficult to determine the exact deficit amount until the entire process is complete."On April 28th, German Chancellor Merz stated on the 27th that the United States lacks a strategic exit plan regarding the war with Iran. Speaking at an event at a high school in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Merz said he couldnt see what kind of strategic exit plan the US would choose. He noted that Iran had been very sophisticated in negotiations, or rather, very sophisticated in refusing to negotiate, "letting the Americans go to Islamabad and leave empty-handed." Merz pointed out that once a war is started, "a way to exit must be found," and the US clearly lacks a strategy in this regard. He cited the USs actions in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as examples.On April 28, Pakistans Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a statement on the 27th denying Afghan media reports that Pakistan had launched airstrikes against a university and residential area in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan.

The statement said, "Pakistans strikes were precise and based on intelligence."

Celsius crypto lender, now bankrupt, sues ex-money manager over alleged theft

Before the cryptocurrency lender went bankrupt last month, Celsius Network LLC, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by the company against a former investment manager, lost or stole assets worth tens of millions of dollars.


After Stone misrepresented himself as a pioneer in the industry, Celsius filed a case in Manhattan bankruptcy court accusing Stone and his business KeyFi Inc of "gross carelessness" and "extraordinarily poor" crypto investment.


Stone was "unable" to use cryptocurrencies profitably, according to Celsius, leading to losses of "several tens of millions of dollars."


He allegedly used stolen money to purchase hundreds of non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), which he kept out of sight, and then hid his activities by using Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency "mixer" that the U.S. Treasury Department banned on August 8 due to concerns that it could be used to launder the proceeds of cybercrime.


Six weeks after KeyFi sued Celsius in a Manhattan-based New York state court, the current case was filed on Tuesday.


It alleged that Celsius operated a Ponzi scheme, improperly handled client deposits, neglected to hedge investments, and defrauded Stone of possible compensation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.


According to court documents, Stone worked with Celsius for roughly seven months, concluding in March 2021.


Stone's attorney Kyle Roche said via email that Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky had approved KeyFi's remuneration, which included NFTs.


The most recent filing by Celsius, according to Roche, "is an effort to rewrite history and make KeyFi and Mr. Stone the scapegoat for their organizational failure."


Each party feels the other is owed money, and both lawsuits aim to recover it as well as compensatory and punitive damages.


After halting withdrawals and transfers for its 1.7 million clients because to "extreme" market circumstances on July 13, Celsius, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors.


The cases are KeyFi Inc. v. Celsius Network Ltd. et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652367/2022; and Celsius Network Ltd. et al. v. Stone et al., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-ap-01139.
