Sam Bankman-Fried has petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn his conviction and the $11 billion forfeiture order.
His legal team argues that the trial court excluded evidence showing FTX and Alameda had sufficient assets to repay customers. Currently serving a 25-year sentence, Bankman-Fried awaits the Courtโs decision on whether to take up the case.

โ SEC Eyes Blockchain as Official Ownership Registry
The SEC is proposing a major shift: using blockchain as the primary ownership registry for tokenized stocks. Right now, on-chain records and traditional off-chain shareholder lists run in parallel โ but only the off-chain version holds legal weight.
This new proposal aims to modernize decades-old transfer agent rules by phasing out redundant paper-based systems. Blockchain records would become the source of truth, eliminating the need to maintain and reconcile dual registries. Key controls like identity verification and transfer restrictions would stay embedded in the token itself.
One major benefit? Inheritance transfers could be processed in as little as one day โ down from the current three to five.

๐จโโ๏ธ Man Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI Over ChatGPT Interaction
A 34-year-old from California is suing OpenAI, claiming that during a manic episode, ChatGPT failed to question his religious delusionsโand instead validated the belief that he might be Jesus or the messiah.
The plaintiff states he disclosed his bipolar disorder and expressed concerns about delusional thinking, yet the AI continued engaging with and reinforcing his idea of a โspecial mission.โ The incident culminated in a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. He argues that OpenAI lacks sufficient protections for users experiencing psychosis or mania.

โ๏ธ Pump.fun Unveils Holder Rewards Program

In their view, the bill grants the SEC a โunilateral right to revise the scope of federal preemption,โ which might override state-level regulationsโsuch as local registration rules for crypto platformsโnot just those tied to digital assets. Theyโre urging Congress to protect statesโ ability to oversee the crypto space and pursue enforcement actions.

Economic growth is gaining momentum, with key indicators improving in recent months. Financial conditions remain accommodativeโa view broadly held across the Fed. Unemployment stays low, while job openings and hours worked continue to rise.
