PANews reported on July 13 that Techbuild reported that a large bank in Kenya suffered a serious internal attack, resulting in 500 million Kenyan shillings (about 4 million US dollars) being stolen by the contractor responsible for its IT infrastructure. People familiar with the matter said that the gang manipulated the bank's card management system, created unauthorized virtual cards and linked them to mobile wallets. Since then, the stolen funds have been transferred through a complex transaction network, including the use of cryptocurrencies, which makes the funds almost impossible to track.

The investigation revealed that the stablecoin Tether (USDT) played a central role in the money laundering process. The funds were moved to multiple offshore wallets, complicating the recovery efforts. The Kenyan Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) has launched a formal investigation into the data breach and is working with the bank's internal cybersecurity team to determine how the attack was carried out. Officials said arrests are expected soon.

Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
