New York (AFP) - Disgraced cryptocurrency wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried is set to be sentenced Thursday following his conviction in one of the biggest financial fraud cases in history. US prosecutors are seeking a prison term of 40-50 years after a New York jury found Bankman-Fried, known by his initials SBF, guilty in November following a five-week trial that probed the one-time high roller's spectacular fall. Calling Bankman-Fried's seven-count conviction reflective of the defendant's "unmatched greed and hubris," the government's sentencing request argues for significant jail time in light o...

A 15-year-old girl has been arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in seven “guess who I am” style phone scams, which swindled HK$1.75 million out of victims, mostly elderly people living alone. Police said on Tuesday that they arrested the girl in Nga Tau Kok after a bank staffer alerted the force that an 81-year-old man sought to withdraw money, saying that a call told him his family member had been arrested and he was required to pay the bail. The girl was believed to have been recruited by fraudsters via social media platform Instagram and was only told to receive the money, police...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump is up against a fast-approaching deadline to secure a half-billion dollar bond as he appeals his financial fraud case, facing possible bankruptcy or the seizure of his assets if he fails. The former president, who has clinched the Republican nomination for this year's presidential election, is appealing his $355 million penalty, plus interest, after a New York court ruled that he, his sons and his Trump Organization company lied for years about the value of his assets, deceiving banks and insurers. But he must put up a guarantee he'll pay the fine if his legal fi...

By Nicolas REVISE New York (AFP) - Donald Trump doit fournir d'ici lundi à la justice de New York la garantie qu'il paiera près d'un demi-milliard de dollars d'amendes pour fraudes financières au sein de son empire immobilier, après sa condamnation au civil en février. Au risque d'une "humiliante" saisie de son patrimoine ou d'une déclaration de faillite. L'ex-président et ses deux fils adultes, Donald Jr. et Eric, ont fait appel d'un jugement retentissant du juge new-yorkais Arthur Engoron les condamnant le 16 février à environ 464 millions de dollars de réparations financières: quelque 355 m...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump faced having assets seized in a humiliating blow to his carefully cultivated image as a self-made tycoon as his lawyers acknowledged Monday he doesn't have the cash to appeal a $464 million fine for fraudulently inflating his wealth.

An $11 billion (€10 billion) acquisition that backfired on Silicon Valley pioneer Hewlett Packard (HP) more than a decade ago will be resurrected Monday during a trial that will explore whether the deal was an illegal rip-off or a case of botched management. The criminal trial in San Francisco federal court revolves around HP's acquisition of UK software maker Autonomy, a deal that was celebrated as a coup when it was announced in 2011, only to blow up into a costly debacle. Before HP wrapped up the deal, Meg Whitman was hired to be CEO of the company started 85 years ago by Bill Hewlett and D...

New York (AFP) - A judge rejected Wednesday former US president Donald Trump's offer of a $100 million bond to partially cover the $355 million penalty a New York court handed him for fraud.

Trump was required to organize a bond as he challenges the February 16 court ruling that found he manipulated the values of his properties to secure more favorable rates for l...
