Israel Defense Forces: The Israel Defense Forces attacked a key sonar and underwater detection system production site inside Iran. We continue to inflict deeper damage on all systems and capabilities of the Iranian regime.Sources say Sony Pictures will lay off hundreds of employees.On April 8th, Federal Reserve Chairman John Goolsby stated that he is concerned the war with Iran would not only drag down economic growth but also push up inflation, putting the Fed in a difficult position as there is no clear "operational guide" to instruct it on how to respond. Goolsby said, "My biggest concern right now is that we must deal with the impending oil crisis, which will lead to stagflation. Tariffs caused prices to surge, but prices should have gradually fallen back; now the shock has hit before the effects have subsided."Musk stated that he looks forward to collaborating with Intel (INTC.O) on the Terafab project.April 8th - According to sources familiar with the matter, Apples (AAPL.O) first foldable phone is expected to launch as scheduled later this year during the usual iPhone release period, alleviating concerns about major production issues. Sources indicate the company plans to launch the foldable model in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. Previously, a Nikkei report stated that Apple encountered some difficulties during the phones engineering testing phase, which could delay production and shipping plans. Following this news, Apples stock price fell by as much as 5.1%. While the complexity of the new display and materials may limit initial supply for several weeks, the sources said Apple is currently planning to launch the device around or slightly after the release of its new non-foldable model. However, with six months to go before the launch and production not yet fully underway, the specific timing is not yet finalized.

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.
