Odaily reports that Misam M. Abidi, a 47-year-old resident of Tennessee, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly operating a cryptocurrency investment fraud scheme from 2020 to 2024. Through a company called "Star Credit Holdings," he is accused of illegally raising funds from investors and defrauding them of millions of dollars. The indictment alleges that the defendant misled investors with false promises, including guaranteed high returns, claims of massive reserve funds to ensure safety, and exaggerated figures regarding assets under management.

Prosecutors stated the scheme was essentially a classic Ponzi structure: paying returns to early investors with funds from new investors, rather than generating profits through legitimate trading. Additionally, the defendant is accused of assisting investors in applying for personal loans and falsifying documents to obtain additional funds.

The investigation revealed that he misappropriated at least approximately $1.9 million from investor funds for personal and family expenses, while failing to accurately report the related income. The case involves multiple federal charges, including wire fraud, operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, filing false tax returns, and money laundering. If convicted on all counts, the defendant faces a lengthy federal prison sentence. (Decrypt)

According to an internal memo and media reports, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees that the company has "made some mistakes" during its AI-driven organizational transformation and expects similar situations to arise in the future.

Zuckerberg noted that Meta is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in the AI field to reshape its core business structure. However, the organizational changes brought about by the rapid evolution of AI technology also present significant challenges. The company has experienced missteps in some personnel adjustments and organizational restructuring. He emphasized that the company will strive to provide greater organizational stability moving forward and expects no large-scale layoffs this year.

In this round of restructuring, Meta made significant adjustments in May, including approximately 10% global layoffs and the reassignment of about 7,000 employees to AI-related projects. Zuckerberg stated that some affected employees will be reassigned to roles in model training and AI workflows to mitigate the organizational impact. He also mentioned that the company will increase investment in team building, including expanding budgets for external meetings and collaboration, and plans to hold a large-scale hackathon in July to promote collaborative AI project development.

Additionally, Meta has noted issues arising from the expansion of management responsibilities and plans to streamline its management hierarchy. The newly formed Applied AI Engineering department reportedly adopts a highly flat structure, with some individual teams having a ratio of up to 50 employees per manager. Meta did not provide further comment on this internal memo. (Reuters)
