The first test engine is scheduled to be installed next month, and fuel is expected to arrive in the last week of May. 1. Background and Motivation: Due to the global energy disruption caused by external geopolitical situations since February, there have been calls within Brazil to increase the legal blending ratio to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and imported energy. Currently, the legal blending ratio in Brazil is 15% biodiesel in diesel and 30% ethanol in gasoline. 2. Testing Details: The first phase will involve 300 hours of engine testing on B15 and B20 to evaluate filter clogging, injection system behavior, and injector conditions. The second phase will analyze pollutant emissions under B7 and B25 blending ratios. 3. Industry Impact: The Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industry Association (Abiove) stated that this extensive testing will open the door to blending ratios higher than B15, even reaching B20, which has a very promising future for the industry.Leapmotor International executive: Leveraging our supply chain advantages, we enjoy international cost advantages in both electric and gasoline vehicles.

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.
