On April 6th, following the "Science and Technology Exchange Connect" initiative, the Shenzhen Branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange launched another foreign exchange facilitation measure, the "Science and Technology Salary Connect" pilot program. This program focuses on providing convenient two-way foreign exchange services for the salaries of employees of key state-supported units such as high-quality enterprises, universities, and research institutions. This facilitates the cross-border flow of talent in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supports the construction of Shenzhen as an international science and technology innovation center. It is understood that qualified employees can, through public-private partnerships with their employers, avoid submitting or repeatedly submitting documents when processing salary purchase and settlement transactions at pilot banks. This model integrates relevant foreign exchange facilitation policies, leverages corporate credit enhancement, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of cross-border salary processing for employees with foreign work experience, providing high-quality foreign exchange services to support Shenzhens talent attraction efforts.April 6 - Israels Homeland Defense Command announced early this morning that it had detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israel and was attempting to intercept them.

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.
