Prince Group founder Chen Zhi was arrested in Cambodia and deported to China. The United States accused him of orchestrating a scam, seizing $14 billion in Bitcoin, the largest case in history. Singapore froze 150 million SGD, Taiwan confiscated 4.5 billion TWD, and Hong Kong froze HKD 2.75 billion. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen quickly distanced himself. Chen Zhi, 37 years old, previously held the title of Duke and served as a government advisor.

The U.S. Marshals announced the liquidation of 57 Bitcoins on November 3, potentially violating Trump's Strategic Reserve order. The BTC confiscated from Samourai Wallet was processed through Coinbase Prime. On-chain data shows the funds moving to Coinbase, but foreign media pointed out that it cannot be confirmed whether they have been sold. Trump's advisors have launched an investigation into this.

On January 5, 2026, multiple cryptocurrency media outlets reported that the U.S. Department of Justice may have secretly sold approximately 57.55 bitcoins, seized from Samourai Wallet co-founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, through the U.S. Marshals Service, valued at about $6.3 million. This move is alleged to potentially violate Executive Order No. 14233 signed by President Trump earlier, which explicitly requires federal agencies to treat seized bitcoins as "U.S. government bitcoins" and include them in the U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve, prohibiting arbitrary sales. However, in-depth on-chain data analysis shows that these bitcoins indeed flowed into a Coinbase Prime custody address, but blockchain evidence does not conclusively prove they have been sold. This controversy surrounding "on-chain traces" and "executive orders" is not only about the disposition of a single asset but also profoundly reveals internal disagreements and power struggles within the U.S. judicial system regarding cryptocurrency policy.

Author: Long Yue, Wall Street Insights As the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting approaches on December 19, market concerns about the possibility of hawkish rate hikes are intensifying. Will this move end the era of cheap yen and trigger a global liquidity crisis? Western Securities released its latest strategic report on December 16, providing an in-depth analysis. High inflation makes hawkish rate hikes in Japan inevitable The report points out that there are multiple driving factors behind the Bank of Japan's rate hike this time. First, Japan's CPI has remained above the official inflation target of 2% for an extended period. Second, the unemployment rate has been maintained below 3% for a long time, creating favorable conditions for nominal wage growth. Market expectations for wage increases in next year's "Shunto" (spring labor negotiations) are high, which will further boost inflationary pressures. Finally, the 21.3 trillion yen fiscal policy introduced by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida may also exacerbate inflation. These factors collectively compel the Bank of Japan to take

The following is a compilation of the key points of the interview video. China takes advantage of the international situation

The 10-year Japanese government bond auction has successfully concluded, but interest rate hikes and fiscal stimulus are pushing the Japanese bond market towards a new normal of dramatic fluctuations (Background: Rich Dad: Japan's 30-year "spread trading ends" epic bubble is coming, I will teach you ten tips for survival) (Additional background: A Japanese netizen's father passed away, and the "Bitcoin inheritance" is worth 100 million yen, and he needs to pay 62 million yen in taxes?) On Tuesday afternoon in Tokyo, the 10-year Japanese government bonds were successfully traded amid the market's initial concerns about selling pressure, with bid multiples rebounding and tail spreads narrowing, temporarily suppressing the flames of yields soaring to a new 17-year high. However, the real storm is about to arrive: In two weeks, it is almost certain that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda will initiate the first interest rate hike since 2007, while Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is simultaneously presenting a 21 trillion yen stimulus plan.
