Mueller investigation who is mueller

The U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange is investigating whether some of its employees profited from its launch of bitcoin spin-off, Bitcoin Cash, reports BusinessInsider. The company halted trading of Bitcoin Cash just four hours after it began on Tuesday after the cryptocurrency reached above $8,000 per coin.

Announcing the investigation, Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong wrote on Medium: Given the price increase in the hours leading up the announcement, we will be conducting an investigation into this matter. If we find evidence of any employee or contractor violating our policies–directly or indirectly–I will not hesitate to terminate the employee immediately and take appropriate legal action. advertisement … [Read more...] about Coinbase is investigating insider trading with its Bitcoin Cash offering

For a certain substrata of Twitter, Tuesday afternoon felt a lot like Schadenfreude Christmas. advertisement advertisement First came the news that Jacob Wohl, an atonal Trump rally chant made flesh, created a fake company with the hilarious moniker “Surefire Intelligence” to launch a smear campaign against Robert Mueller, and got caught in part because the company’s contact number went to his mom’s voicemail. (The Coen Brothers would be hard-pressed to invent a more inept scammer.) The cross-section of Twitter resigned to seeing Wohl’s increasingly bizarre and shrill defenses of the president broke out into swift celebration. “Jacob Wohl” became the top trending topic, a peak he had likely long aspired to reach, if perhaps not in the way he finally did.
