FTX customers are still grappling with crypto platform’s collapse

It’s estimated that more than 1 million customers are potentially facing losses after crypto exchange FTX suddenly collapsed and filed for bankruptcy in November. FTX founder and former-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is accused of embezzling $10 billion from unsuspecting customers to prop up his hedge fund Alameda Research, buy luxury properties and fund political donations. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty. His trial began in New York this week.

Prosecutors are calling some FTX customers to testify that they were told their assets were safe and to share how FTX’s collapse affected them. Customers who spoke with Reuters said they have created support groups to help each other navigate the complex bankruptcy claims process, while others said they have been targeted by scammers promising to retrieve their cash.

DuckDuckGo chief says Google contract stopped deal with Apple

The CEO of privacy-oriented search engine DuckDuckGo said its talks with Apple about a potential contract failed because of Google’s multibillion dollar deals with the smartphone maker, transcripts from Google’s landmark antitrust trial showed. Gabriel Weinberg testified on Sept. 21 about the effect on DuckDuckGo from Google’s $10 billion in annual payments to smartphone makers and others to keep its search engine as the default on computers or mobile devices.

A redacted transcript unsealed late on Wednesday showed DuckDuckGo had struck a deal with Apple in 2014 for the search engine to appear as an option on Apple devices. Soon after, DuckDuckGo began pressing Apple to become the default choice for users who wanted to work in privacy mode, which limited data collected on the user. Read more about his testimony.

SEC argues Coinbase crypto case not barred by ‘major questions’ doctrine

In a new brief in its enforcement case against crypto trading platform Coinbase, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has offered its most robust defense to date against a sweeping crypto industry theory that could conceivably shut down its crypto enforcement campaign. Alison Frankel highlights a new SEC argument that, in her view, could allow the agency to sidestep debate over the systemic importance of the trillion-dollar crypto industry.
