US SEC Chairman: Whether the US will confiscate and seize the Bitcoin held by Venezuela remains to be seen.
PANews reported on January 13th that, according to Cointelegraph, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins did not rule out the possibility of the U.S. seizing Bitcoin held by Venezuela when asked about the possibility. Previous reports indicated that Venezuela holds up to $60 billion worth of Bitcoin (approximately 600,000 coins), but several analysts stated they could not verify this figure.
Atkins responded that what action the U.S. would take if given the opportunity to seize the Bitcoins "remains to be seen," adding that he was not involved in the decision-making process. Previously, the U.S. military, acting on President Trump's orders, arrested Venezuelan President Maduro and extradited him to New York to face criminal charges.

Benfica, Portugal’s most successful club, appointed the 62-year-old as their new manager on Thursday, just three weeks after he was fired by Turkish giants Fenerbahce after just over a year in charge. It marks an emotional return for Mourinho, who began his coaching career with the Lisbon giants in 2000, managing 11 matches before resigning. By the time he left Portugal for England just under four years later, his star was in the ascendency. As he introduced himself to the English media for the first time, Mourinho famously described himself as the “Special One”. It was a revealing remark, typical of a man whose confidence bordered on arrogance at times. Crucially, it was also borne out by results. In two seasons at Porto, Mourinho won two league titles, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League. Seven league titles across England, Italy and Spain with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid followed, along with another Champions League crown and seven domestic cups across three countries.
