Logan Paul will be held liable for his zoo scam
That’s not the first (or even tenth) case of YouTube stars and professional sportsmen being accused of promoting scam projects.
Pro wrestler Logan Paul couldn't slide out of the strong arm of the law, either. He was named in a class-action suit from the CryptoZoo investors, alleging the project to be a typical Rug Pull. Paul was one of the founders of that fraudulent venture, so the plaintiffs have a pretty good chance to receive the compensation.
Previously, we’ve published a complete guide to crypto analysis. Always remember to DYOR!

Bankrupt Voyager will dump Shiba?
Over the last day, Voyager Digital transferred assets worth approximately $9.6 million to Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken, including 4.9 million VGX, 221,000 LINK, 3,050 ETH, and 270 billion SHIB.
Another interesting fact: one of the addresses has 6.8 trillion SHIB, putting it in 18th place among the largest owners of the meme coins after the transfer.
We've got a riddle for you: you're broke, you need money, the enemy is nearby, so you transfer 270 billion coins to the exchange. Is it for a far-off journey or an inheritance?

The Solana ecosystem is losing another player
Lending protocol Everlend Finance has announced that it has ceased operations. The reason is simple: a lack of liquidity.

Is the perfect storm coming for Aptos?
Aptos development team wallet transferred over 1 million APT (~$20 million) from the main wallet to the Binance exchange. More than 1/3 of the total APT supply ($985 million) remains in the wallet.
If these coins will hit the market, the APT price may undergo a significant correction.
Although APT attracted a lot of attention with a sharp price increase of more than 450% in a month, one should always keep in mind the project is too centralized: 97% of the total supply is held by only 20 wallets. Thus, the price can be easily manipulated.

A scam with the Shiba Inu giveaway was exposed on Reddit
To allegedly receive free SHIBs, users were asked to follow a phishing link. After that, scammers connected to the victim's crypto wallet and withdrew all funds. Suspicions arose in the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit.
Community members began spreading information about phishing so that others won't become scam victims. They called it the biggest scam ever to hit Reddit. If you have already clicked on such a link, urgently move your coins and tokens to another wallet. And remember, if a deal looks too good to be true, you're probably in the thick of it.

SBF relatives do not cooperate with the investigation
In their search for bankrupt FTX clients' money, lawyers want to cross-examine SBF's mother and brother.
It is already known that the businessman's parents lived in a house in the Bahamas worth $16.4 million, which was the property of a crypto exchange. And the SBF's brother bought a multi-million dollar property near United States Capital (probably with the FTX clients' money).
Negotiations with the SBF's father are ongoing. Perhaps the court will be able to get the truth at least from the suspect's father.

WELCOME TO GAGARIN NEWS!
Crypto is now closer than you think
GAGARIN NEWS is a global portal about the realm of crypto news that originated in Ukraine. Created by the masterminds behind the world’s first entertainment show about cryptocurrencies Gagarin Show, the online platform aims to popularize the new era of blockchain technology that is irreversibly transforming the world as we know it.
Readers will have access to information about the latest news, events, analytics, opinions, videos, interviews and much more from the world of crypto. The media outlet is also aimed at both advanced crypto adepts and those who are only beginning their journey in this field. Also those who are somewhere in the middle.
Gagarin News has its own brand ambassadors – anonymous crypto gurus Dr. Smartcontract and Mr. Etherman. Both 'mascots' host the YouTube Show "Cryptocurrency Not For Dummies" and are actively involved in the community – they often chat with readers on various social media platforms and express their opinions about crypto market news.
The portal has also launched the “Authors Program” - an initiative that allows aspiring copywriters and crypto coin news journalists to submit their articles and receive monetary rewards for 'views'. after going through moderation and once approved by our team of editors, the article gets published on our website. Authors are then granted the opportunity to earn for their work. Think of it as YouTube monetization, only instead of views, authors receive rewards for their articles being read by other people.
Blockchain technology is gaining momentum and attracting more and more people. After all, blockchain has confidently entered the geopolitical arena and has become a lever of global processes in the economy and society. However, this latest technology still remains terra incognita for many people. So the mission of GAGARIN NEWS is to promote blockchain and make the technology popular, to provide quality content and in-depth analytics that will be useful to those who are just entering the industry and those who have been in it for a long time and need their crypto news now.
Gagarin News was initially inspired by Gagarin Show – a YouTube channel with 86 thousand followers. In two years the channel released 86 videos and gathered almost 22 million views. One might say that “Gagarin Show” is the predecessor of Gagarin News. The two independent projects have the same objective in mind – to educate the global public on the industry of blockchain technology. Created initially as a hobby, the project has developed ambitious goals and intends to lay the foundation and create a platform to engage the public with the realm of crypto news today and finance.
