Morgan Stanley has fired a father-and-son advisory team that managed more than $600 million after alleging improper pay to a family member. The firm terminated them on June 25, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. E. Bradford Hudgens, a 30-year Morgan Stanley advisor, is accused of using the firm’s Alternative Flexible Grid expense program to pay a family member in ways that did not match that person’s supposed job. The bank also alleges he changed a client’s trust so he would stay on as advisor. A doctor later found the client lacked capacity. His son, John Bradford Hudgens, was fired the…
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Shiba Inu’s daily burn rate jumped 1,020% after 20.82 million SHIB were sent to dead wallets, according to Shibburn tracker data. The spike gives SHIB holders another supply-reduction headline, but it needs careful framing. A large percentage increase in daily burn rate can sound dramatic, especially when the prior day’s burn was low. The actual token amount matters just as much as the percentage. In this case, 20.82 million SHIB were burned. That is meaningful as a community activity signal, but it should not be described as…
X users say they’re receiving a deluge of password reset emails that they did not ask for after the company expanded its new money platform to more people. Some inboxes are receiving as many as ten emails in a few hours. X Money is now available to Premium and Premium+ users with U.S. accounts. The messages come from X itself, and it appears attackers are using the public username reset form over and over. Says X engineer Mridul Singhai, “Attackers appear to believe that, now that @XMoney is widely available, they can gain unauthorized access to accounts. We are actively…

A California financial firm has agreed to a $1.75 million settlement fund over a data breach that may have exposed customer information. CUSO Financial Services says an unauthorized person got into one employee’s account on a third-party system used to archive communications, as FINRA requires. The access ran from Dec. 19, 2023, to Jan. 19, 2024. “On January 19, 2024, CUSO became aware of suspicious activity involving a third-party service provider which CUSO utilizes for archiving communications, as required by The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘FINRA’).” The incident may have exposed names, Social Security numbers, medical details, driver’s license numbers,…

A Pennsylvania resident has admitted to defrauding investors and a credit union in a scheme powered by fake companies and unauthorized borrowing. 47-year-old James Addy of Lancaster County has admitted to numerous fraud counts and identity theft offenses, reports Local21News. Prosecutors say he posed as a high-net-worth entrepreneur running a Beverly Hills consulting firm called the Yarah Group worth roughly $200 million. One victim was persuaded to hire him to manage a business and fund investments, after which he secured loans totaling about $722,000 in that victim’s name without permission. A second person provided a short-term advance to another entity…
In brief X users have been posting since early August about password reset emails, login alerts, and account lockouts they never triggered. X has not admitted or reported a new data breach; researchers trace the activity to a 2021-2022 API flaw, a 2025 dataset of 201 million records, an active botnet, and a phishing campaign running since July. Proton, which some X users rely on as a recovery email, is separately dealing with a service disruption tied to a hardware failure, unrelated but relevant if that’s the inbox tied to your account. X users have spent the past several weeks…
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust exchange-traded fund has delivered better returns since its 2024 launch than Vanguard’s popular S&P 500 fund. That’s according to Bloomberg data highlighted by the firm’s senior ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, who said that the BlackRock product’s cumulative percentage return was only slightly ahead of Vanguard’s in the time period. BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF is up 71% since its January 2024 debut, while Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF up 66% on a total-return basis. Hard to believe $IBIT is beating $VOO since inception but it’s true..altho it’s close. And to be fair, IBIT’s path to 70% looks like the…
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Shiba Inu exchange outflows fell 42%, pointing to a cooling in short-term wallet activity after a period of stronger movement. The decline matters because exchange outflows are often watched as a sign of holder behavior. When tokens leave exchanges, traders may interpret it as accumulation or reduced immediate sell pressure. When outflows slow, that signal becomes weaker. But the metric needs careful treatment. A fall in outflows does not automatically mean holders are preparing to sell. It simply shows that fewer tokens are leaving exchanges during the…
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Shiba Inu netflow indicators have turned more bearish after around 145 billion SHIB moved toward exchanges, giving traders another sign that short-term positioning may be shifting. Exchange inflows can matter because tokens moving onto trading platforms may become available for sale. That does not mean every token will be sold, but it can increase perceived sell-side risk. For SHIB, the move comes as traders are already watching burn data, exchange outflows, meme coin rotation, and broader market appetite. The netflow shift adds another layer to that picture.…
Bitcoin is up this month but there’s one place where it’s more significantly more expensive: South Korea. The so-called Kimchi Premium — when bitcoin costs more on Korean exchanges — is back as retail investors pile back into the coin. Bloomberg first reported the news and CoinGecko data shows that bitcoin’s price is nearly 1% higher on Upbit, Korea’s biggest exchange, than Binance. Named after a popular dish in the Asian nation, the phenomenon comes down to Korea’s market being partly walled off. Prices have historically run higher there because of strong local retail demand combined with strict capital controls…
