Late Wednesday, Oracle published its fiscal second quarter 2026 earnings (Q2 FY26), covering the period ended Nov. 30, 2025. Total revenue came in slightly below consensus, with legacy software revenue down and new license sales particularly weak.

This has once again highlighted the gap between the debt-fueled AI infrastructure spending spree, the promised revenue and the reality of delayed cash flows hitting the coffers.

The Financial Times reported that Oracle’s earnings were overshadowed by a $15 billion jump in planned data centre spending and a revenue miss, while its long-term debt increased to $99.6 billion, a jump of 25% from one-year ago. The cloud infrastructure revenue came in at $4.1 billion, below expectations, relying further on debt expansion.

The report quoted Morgan Stanley as forecasting a surge in Oracle's net debt to about $290 billion by 2028.

Shares on Oracle fell over 10% in after market hours, dragging down the AI stocks and offering bearish cues to the crypto market. The price swoon renewed social media focus on Oracle's five-year credit default, a type of an insurance contracts that reflects perceived default risk.

It has jumped to the highest since 2022. The surge reflects the material repricing of risk, according to the Special Situations newsletter.

"Historically, ORCL CDS traded around 20–40 bps, so 117 bps represents a material repricing of risk, but not a distressed profile," the newsletter service said on X.

"Oracle 5Y CDS graph looks exciting $ORCL until you run the math and realize that it is only pricing in 1.93% probability of default per year and a 9% 5 year cumulative probability of default," it added.

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
