PANews reported on December 3rd, citing DL News, that Russian prosecutors are seeking to seize a large amount of luxury assets belonging to Georgy Satyukov, a fugitive official from a secret service agency. He is accused of receiving $184 million worth of Bitcoin and $30 million worth of Ethereum as bribes from the operators of the now-defunct WEX cryptocurrency exchange. Investigators have identified assets worth $29.6 million related to Satyukov's alleged bribery. Prosecutors claim that Satyukov used the illicit funds to purchase 13 apartments in Russia, several non-residential properties in St. Petersburg, a villa in the UAE, and a million-dollar property in Saratov registered under his brother's name. Furthermore, the investigation found two Porsche Cayenne Turbo cars, seven Patek Philippe watches, and other jewelry worth over $1.3 million in his name, and over $15 million in cash and foreign currency in his family's bank accounts. The bribe allegedly originated from Alexey Ivanov, a former systems administrator at the WEX exchange, who sought Satyukov's help to evade criminal investigation. Satyukov and his former colleague, Dmitry Sokolov, are currently at large, and a Moscow court is preparing to try them in absentia. If convicted, their assets could be confiscated by the state. WEX took over the trading operations of BTC-e in 2017, after the latter collapsed in 2018 following the arrest of its founder, Alexander Vinnik, in Greece on fraud and money laundering charges.PANews reported on December 3rd, citing DL News, that Russian prosecutors are seeking to seize a large amount of luxury assets belonging to Georgy Satyukov, a fugitive official from a secret service agency.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps
The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward.

This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
