Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has challenged his 25-year sentence following his five-week trial late last year. According to the New York Times, Bankman-Fried appealed a November 2023 court ruling that found the FTX founder guilty of defrauding investors of over $8 billion. His new lawyer, Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, argued that Judge Kaplan, the presiding judge, presumed Bankman-Fried guilty from the start. The 102-page filing requested a new trial, claiming Judge Kaplan hindered Bankman-Fried’s defense and limited evidence. Once a crypto mogul and billionaire, Bankman-Fried has been serving a 25-year sentence in a federal prison facility since last year. Since…
I’m excited to get a more powerful PlayStation 5 later this year. I’ve set aside the money for it and I’m ready to buy it when pre-orders go live later this month. And weirdly, admitting this online will likely lead to people yelling at me. This Cool New Retro Console Is A Great Gift For Atari FansBefore Sony revealed its long-rumored PS5 Pro earlier this week, I didn’t expect it to make much of a splash. I figured some people would be happy to buy a more powerful console, others would dismiss it, and most would just not even have…
Coinbase has emerged as a vocal advocate for the crypto industry in the face of ongoing regulatory crackdowns in the United States.
According to those who have played it, the recently released remaster of 2012’s Lollipop Chainsaw is a janky and hard-to-play mess with performance problems, missing features, and bugs galore.I Hate This FF7 Rebirth Character’s Whole VibeLollipop Chainsaw Repop is a remastered version of the 2012 cult-classic action game starring 18-year-old cheerleader and zombie hunter Juliet Starling. The original was a campy but solid button-mashing good time with a surprisingly strong main character. As former Kotaku writer Ashley Bardhan wrote last year, Juliet is allowed to be “annoyingly talkative, sexual and competent, romantic and smart” and that “Juliet is not easy…
Bitcoin tumbled some 1% to $57,600 earlier during the day after software company MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 18,300 BTC for $1.1 billion. The largest crypto quickly recovered the losses and rose sharply later in the session, up 2.2% over the past 24 hours at $59,700.
The PS5 Pro has been rumored for over a year now and turned out to be exactly what most people expected: a similar-looking machine that runs games with incrementally better graphics and performance. The only thing people weren’t expecting was the $700 price tag, and the sticker shock has turned some pretty straightforward discussions about the trade-offs of upgrading into a weirdly heated proxy fight over seemingly unrelated issues. This Cool New Retro Console Is A Great Gift For Atari FansSony system architect Mark Cerny introduced the PS5 Pro earlier this week with a series of comparison shots between games…
The market for tokenized real-world assets, excluding stablecoins, has surged past $12 billion, according to Binance. This growth is largely driven by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, with significant participation from major financial institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, according to a Binance Research report released on Sept. 13. This total excludes the $175 billion stablecoin market, which remains separate from RWAs. Tokenization is the division of traditionally illiquid assets, such as real estate, government bonds, and commodities, into fractions, making them more accessible to a wider range of investors. It also streamlines processes like record-keeping and settlement, potentially transforming the…

The retraction arose from the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance, but the agency is still pursuing claims against the crypto exchange for alleged securities law violations.
Over the years, PlayStation has put out some pretty notable games, but most of them have been fairly linear. Horizon was its biggest open-world series, and probably still is, but for my money, Ghost of Tsushima is probably the better one. Cribbing from the style of the works of the acclaimed filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, Ghost of Tsushima is a samurai action game set in a Ubisoft-style open world. Funny how PlayStation beat Ubisoft and Assassin’s Creed to that punch…Ghost of Tsushima is, in a word, cinematic. It’s minimalistic, often guiding players by the visualization of wind blowing through fields and…
