🚨 Is the cartel really behind Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance? Here’s what the FBI just revealed in their latest updates… Recap: Nancy, 84, vanished from her Tucson, AZ home on Feb 1 after family dropped her off. Doorbell cam caught a masked intruder with a gun tampering with the camera around 3am. No signs of forced entry initially, but bloodstains and a disconnected pacemaker suggest foul play. FBI’s big reveal this week: Suspect description updated to 5’9”-5’10” tall, average build, wearing black gloves and a specific black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack. They’ve doubled the reward to $100,000 for tips leading to her location or arrest. Over 13,000 tips already! Ransom: Multiple notes sent to media like TMZ demanding millions in Bitcoin. Deadlines passed with no proof of life. One imposter was arrested then released for fake demands. Experts say crypto is traceable, but cartels often use it. Tucson’s near the border raises questions. Cartel link? Former FBI agents say adult abductions are rare, but Phoenix was once the “kidnapping capital” due to border cartels. Could this be a burglary gone wrong or targeted? Family thinks she’s still alive. Savannah Guthrie posted emotional pleas for help. What’s next? FBI’s analyzing retail records for backpack sales and forensic evidence from the cam. 3 people were detained ar Culvers near the Guthries house last night. More details are to follow.

Let’s pray for Nancy’s safe return 🙏 #NancyGuthrieKidnapping #FBI STAY UP TO DATE ON THIS CASE AS MORE DETAILS UNFOLD. #truecrime

Goldman Sachs’ $2.3B Crypto Bet Defies Its Own Bitcoin Restrictions Goldman Sachs boldly invests $2.36 billion in crypto, defying its own Bitcoin views. What does this mean for institutional finance? The answers may surprise you.

Bitcoin treasuries added $3.5 billion worth of $BTC in January, but Strategy $MSTR dominated the buying spree with 40,150 coins, accounting for 93% of all corporate purchases while the rest of the field combined bought just 3,080 BTC in the company’s strongest month in a year.

Kingdom Has Been Continuously Selling Bitcoin for 3 Weeks, Holding a $372 Million Bitcoin Reserve... The Bhutanese government has added another sale to its regular Bitcoin (#BTC) disposals over the past three weeks, maintaining momentum in the crypto market. Bhutan, the mysterious kingdom of South Asia, continues to draw attention in the crypto world with its massive Bitcoin reserves. On-chain data shared by Arkham Intelligence shows that Bhutan has been consistently selling Bitcoin (BTC) on a weekly basis over the past three weeks. The country’s most recent move involved transferring approximately $6.7 million worth of assets to exchanges. These strategic moves by Bhutan follow a large sale exceeding $100 million in September, acting as a continuation of that trend. The country aims to convert mining rewards into cash at regular intervals and integrate them into its economic cycle. However, the periodic nature of these sales has drawn close attention from market analysts and investors. Mining Activities and the Halving Impact Bhutan had planned to partner with Bitdeer Technologies to build a massive 600 MW mining facility to expand its mining capacity. However, data indicates that mining activity slowed after the Bitcoin halving event in April 2024, which halved block rewards. As rewards decreased and operational costs shifted, Bhutan is believed to have begun gradually selling off its holdings. Currently, wallets identified as belonging to the Bhutanese government hold approximately $372 million worth of Bitcoin. This substantial reserve continues to position Bhutan among the world’s largest state-level BTC holders. Whether this selling pressure will persist in the coming days remains a topic of keen interest within the crypto community. #eth #OnsAltın #silver #coin #Bnb

South Korean police confirmed the loss of over 340 seized Bitcoin (valued at approximately $1.5–$23 million) across multiple cases, prompting a probe.

On February 13, according to the China Times, the Jing'an District People's Court of Shanghai recently heard a virtual currency investment dispute case. Investor Ms. Wu invested 1.05 million yuan to purchase $USDT under the inducement of a live broadcast host, but later the funds could not be withdrawn because the trading platform could not be logged in. The court rejected Ms. Wu's claims in both the first and second trials, determining that virtual currency does not have the same legal status as legal tender, related trading activities are illegal financial activities, violate public order and good customs, are invalid civil acts, and losses should be borne by themselves. This case echoes the "Notice on Further Preventing and Disposing of Risks Related to Virtual Currencies" issued by the People's Bank of China and other eight departments on February 6, once again clarifying China's prohibitive policy stance on virtual currencies.
