PANews reported on February 10th that, according to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has upgraded its investigation into the large-scale Bitcoin mispayment incident at the Bithumb exchange from an on-site inspection to a formal audit, launching a full-scale investigation on the same day. The FSS stated that the incident is extremely serious and has deployed additional personnel to conduct a high-intensity audit, focusing on whether the exchange violated its "actual holding obligation," whether there are "ghost currencies," and internal control loopholes. The investigation will focus on why Bithumb actually held approximately 46,000 Bitcoins but mistakenly paid out 620,000 Bitcoins, as well as the asset custody and accounting consistency under its "ledger transaction" model.

Financial authorities have indicated that this incident could shake overall trust in the virtual asset market and will investigate whether the mistakenly paid Bitcoins posed a structural risk of being simultaneously withdrawn on a large scale. Furthermore, the internal approval loopholes at Bithumb that allowed such large transfers to be completed by a single person will also be a key focus of the investigation.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
