PANews reported on December 17th that, according to Decrypt, two former executives of blockchain company Theta Labs have filed a whistleblower lawsuit in California, accusing the company and its CEO, Mitch Liu, of years of fraud, market manipulation, and retaliation. Former executives Jerry Kowal and Andrea Berry filed separate lawsuits in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing Liu of using Theta Labs and its parent company, Silver VR Technologies, to inflate token prices through misleading collaborations and undisclosed insider token sales, while also retaliating against employees who raised concerns.

Lawyers representing Jerry Kowal allege that Mitch Liu used Theta Labs as a personal trading vehicle to commit fraud, self-serving transactions, and market manipulation. Liu's meticulously orchestrated pump-and-dump schemes repeatedly wiped out the value of investors and employees. Liu's alleged schemes also included "generating false quotes for NFTs," some of which involved high-profile collaborations with celebrities like Katy Perry. Berry's complaint also targets Theta's previous statements regarding Google, accusing the company of publicly misrepresenting a routine cloud services agreement as a strategic partnership. The complaint further alleges two other instances of self-serving transactions, alleging that "Theta's so-called 'partners' were actually other companies created and wholly owned by Liu."

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
