Tomiwabold OlajideSelf-proclaimed Satoshi Craig Wright files £911 billion suit against BTC core devs and Square
As recently reported by @BitMEXResearch X account that cited data from caseborad.io, Craig Wright, a self-proclaimed Satoshi, seems to have filed a new lawsuit against Bitcoin Core and the founder of Twitter and Square payments company Jack Dorsey.

For this, Wright demands almost one billion pounds sterling from Bitcoin Core developers and Dorsey’s Square. Additionally, in a recent X post, Wright hinted at the possibility of suing MicroStrategy and its cofounder, Michael Saylor, for potentially misleading shareholders. As a reminder, Craig Wright created Bitcoin SV in 2018, claiming that it was “the real” Bitcoin.
Mushumir ButtCrucial warning issued to Shiba Inu community
@susbarium, an X account created to expose SHIB-related scams and protect SHIB holders from malefactors, has recently issued another warning for the community of the dog-themed meme token. In a lengthy X post, Susbarium explained that following significant natural disasters, such as hurricanes or floods, fraudsters swiftly create phony websites for donations or post on social media, requesting cryptocurrency to "help victims." Despite their convincing appearance, the money goes to the scammer rather than to those in need. Other common scams include medical and illness fundraising, such as for sick children, tokens or NFTs with fake charity claims and exploiting tragedies like natural disasters. In this regard, Susbarium advised followers to follow the principle of DYOR ("do your own research"), to stay vigilant, ask for proof and use only trusted donation platforms.
