Almost everyone now sees that Trumps claims are completely unfounded. According to reports, the agreement text, drafted as a "reciprocal commitment," is currently in the final stages of Irans domestic ratification process and no final decision has been made. In stark contrast, Trump has raised issues that contradict the terms of the agreement text. At the same time, he claims he will immediately lift the blockade. Trumps distortions of the core content of the agreement include: 1. Trump claims that Iran is obligated to open the Strait of Hormuz without receiving any fees; however, such a clause does not exist in the agreement text. 2. Trump claims that Iran will dismantle or destroy its nuclear materials. Sources emphasize that not only is there no such content in the memorandum of understanding, but Trumps claim is also utter nonsense. Key terms of the agreement that Trump deliberately avoided mentioning: 1. A crucial point that Trump didnt mention at all: the precondition for immediately unfreezing and paying Iran $12 billion in frozen assets. 2. A ceasefire in Lebanon. 3. Iranian officials also emphasized that the final agreement will be based on the principles and "red lines" of the Islamic Republic of Iran.Russian President Vladimir Putin: Let them hand over the drone wreckage to Russia; we will provide our assessment.According to Irans Fars News Agency, Iranian sources have denied the latest comments made by US President Trump.

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.
