the U.S. Department of Justice stated in a press release that a 47-year-old resident of Newcastle, Washington, Geoffrey K. Auyeung, has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering.Geoffrey K. Auyeung assisted overseas scammers in transferring nearly $100 million in investment fraud proceeds through bank accounts and cryptocurrency exchanges. The scammers deceived victims into investing in the oil and gas industry, luring them to transfer funds into so-called escrow accounts. To facilitate this, Geoffrey K. Auyeung established at least nine entities to receive funds, which were then transferred overseas or exchanged for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC via exchanges like Gemini, Coinbase, and BitStamp. Most of these cryptocurrencies were subsequently sent to Binance accounts controlled by individuals in Nigeria and Russia.Geoffrey K. Auyeung opened at least 81 bank accounts across 24 financial institutions and 19 accounts across 8 cryptocurrency exchanges, receiving a total of $97.1 million in wire transfers and deposits. Through his involvement in the scheme, he earned at least $4 million in commissions and received an additional $400,000 in commissions through accounts under his wife's name between August 2024 and December 2025. Auyeung pleaded guilty in February of this year. He will forfeit approximately $2.3 million seized from bank accounts and his home, an Audi SQ8, and has agreed to forfeit approximately $7.1 million worth of cryptocurrency. (The Block)

Humanity released an incident update stating that its H token was subject to a coordinated attack on Ethereum and BSC on the evening of June 8, resulting in approximately $36 million worth of tokens stolen and dumped across both chains. The project disclosed that the attack originated from a compromised employee laptop, which led to the leakage of multiple owner keys for the Gnosis Safe controlling the Hyperlane bridge ProxyAdmin. On Ethereum, the attacker seized ownership of the ProxyAdmin and upgraded the contract to a malicious implementation, transferring approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction. On BSC, after similarly gaining control of the ProxyAdmin, the attacker deployed a malicious implementation with infinite minting capabilities, minting 200 million H tokens in two transactions and continuously dumping them. Humanity has suspended deposits and withdrawals on the affected cross-chain bridge and is cooperating with exchanges and law enforcement to investigate the incident and seek partial recovery of the stolen funds.
Humility Protocol released a security incident update on the X platform, stating that its H token suffered a coordinated attack on the Ethereum and BSC chains yesterday, with confirmed losses exceeding $36 million in stolen and dumped assets.Preliminary investigations indicate the incident originated from a compromised employee computer, which led to the leakage of private keys for the multi-signature wallet controlling the Hyperlane Bridge ProxyAdmin. Specifically, the attacker obtained 3 out of 6 private keys of the Gnosis Safe wallet on the Ethereum chain, transferred ownership of the ProxyAdmin to a wallet under their control, upgraded the bridge contract to a malicious implementation, and subsequently transferred approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction.Simultaneously, the attacker also gained control of 3 out of 5 private keys of the Safe wallet on the BSC chain, took over the ProxyAdmin using the same method, deployed a malicious contract with unlimited minting functionality, and minted 200 million H tokens in two separate transactions to their own wallet.Humility stated that it has suspended all deposit and withdrawal operations on the affected bridge services and is collaborating with partners such as exchanges to mitigate losses. Meanwhile, it is cooperating with the police investigation and attempting to recover part of the stolen funds.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ember, the "private key leak" has allowed the minting and dumping of H to continue for 13 hours. The so-called "hacker" is still able to mint H on the BSC chain and sell it off, draining every last cent from the pools. The "hacker" has minted 300 million H and sold a total of approximately 450 million H, cashing out $34 million (ETH+BNB). The H pool on BSC has been drained to just $13 in liquidity, and the price of H has plummeted 99.9% to $0.0009. Meanwhile, the perpetual contract price on CEX stands at $0.09, a 100x difference. In essence, they have de-pegged into two unrelated tokens.
According to Trader T (@thepfund), yesterday’s net inflow into Ethereum spot ETFs amounted to $68.17 million.
According to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, 7 wallets have sold 249 million H on-chain in the past 7 hours, cashing out $31.3 million (including 17,800 ETH and 2,715 BNB). The tokens sold mainly originated from unlocks. H has dropped 83% in price over the past 7 hours due to large-scale selling.
According to Odaily, on-chain analyst Ai Yi reported that over the past 23 hours, a whale has added 366.65 WBTC on-chain at an average price of $63,540.98, spending approximately $23.29 million. Since yesterday, the whale has accumulated a total position of 525.22 WBTC (approximately $33.29 million) and 31,065.58 ETH (approximately $49.85 million). The current total holdings of BTC and ETH now exceed $142 million.
Odaily reports, according to on-chain analyst Ember's monitoring, a whale shorting ETH via lending continues to short another 7,000 ETH, worth $11.83 million. Currently, the whale has deposited $132 million in stablecoins as collateral on Aave, borrowed 35,000 ETH and transferred them to Binance, worth $58.51 million, at a price of $1,672.
Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a whale has been continuously depositing USDC and USDT into Aave V3 to short ETH, having deposited a total of $132.16 million worth of USDC and USDT. The whale then borrowed 35,001 ETH and transferred them to Binance for sale.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a newly created wallet received 25,000 ETH from Kraken, valued at approximately $42.03 million. This wallet may belong to Bitmine.
in April this year, KelpDAO's LayerZero bridge was exploited in a $292 million vulnerability attack, triggering an $8.45 billion deposit run on Aave within 48 hours, marking the largest capital outflow event in decentralized finance (DeFi) history. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the design of Aave V3 withstood the market test, demonstrating the network's "resilience." However, independent data indicates that Aave's survival primarily relied on $300 million in emergency rescue, including a 25,000 ETH guarantee from the Aave DAO and a personal injection of 5,000 ETH (approximately $8.4 million) by Kulechov.Kulechov attributed the vulnerability to third-party infrastructure rather than core smart contracts. However, analysts pointed out that this incident exposed deficiencies in Aave's risk architecture and insurance mechanisms, leading the platform to incur significant bad debt (approximately $123.7 million in wETH). To prevent future bridge failures from triggering systemic bank runs, Aave V4 will adopt a modular "hub-and-spoke" architecture, enabling local risk auto-adjustment and collateral freezing.
