Ep #20 - FBI Seeking BitConnect Victims, Samsung's Crypto Wallet and More

In this week's episode of Cryptalk by Investing.com, our senior analyst Clement Thibault covers in depth the most important topics of the past year and provide explanations and analysis.  00:00-01:55 - Intro & Topics of the week 01:55-07:05 -    This week, the FBI announced it is seeking potential victims of the cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme BitConnect. We'll revisit BitConnect, where it went wrong, and see where the FBI investigation is headed – a year after the pyramid stratagem collapsed.  07:05-11:59 - Gladius, a DC based company focused on renting spare internet bandwidth which issued a token, is now charged with conducting an unregistered ICO, in which it raised $12.5 million. However, since Gladius self-reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission, it now avoids penalties. We'll talk about this case and about how the SEC is opening a window for troubled ICOs to come clean.  11:59-16:23 - Finally, Samsung has announced that its new flagship smartphone, the S10, will have "secure storage backed by hardware, which houses your private keys for blockchain-enabled mobile services." There are still many things we don't know, but could this be the big mainstream break crypto has been looking for? 16:23–17:26 - Outro It's a pleasure to be here every Sunday , reach out to me @ClemThibault on Twitter for comments.
