The founder of Russia's largest mining company BitRiver has been transferred from house arrest to detention pending trial for fraud

According to Russian media bits.media, Igor Runets, the founder of Russia's largest mining company BitRiver, has been transferred from house arrest to detention pending trial by the Zamoskvoretsky Court in Moscow due to allegations of fraud amounting to 100 million rubles. He will be held in custody for at least two months. The charges are based on Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation—"particularly large-scale fraud committed by an organized group."The investigation claims the case involves the supply of mining equipment, causing nearly 100 million rubles in losses to the metallurgical and energy companies under the En+ Group. Investigators requested the detention of Runets on the grounds that he might influence witnesses, and the court approved this request. Representatives of BitRiver and Runets' lawyer have not yet commented on the court's ruling, and the progress of the case will depend on the equipment appraisal and witness testimonies from En+. In February of this year, Russian law enforcement suspected Runets of concealing assets to evade taxes, leading to his arrest and house arrest on charges of tax evasion. BitRiver is facing bankruptcy and ownership risks, with its owner Fox Group having debts of approximately 9.2 million dollars, and assets insufficient to repay the debts, prompting a bankruptcy application.

Myanmar's electric fraud AI industrialization exposed: Starlink becomes a key infrastructure, with encrypted payments and OpenAI/Google models included in the toolchain

According to a report from Hongxing News, an investigation report leaked from a scam park in Myanmar shows that global telecom fraud is accelerating towards an "AI industrialization + cross-border encrypted payment" system. The scam network completes fund circulation through cryptocurrency and uses automated tools based on large models for multi-language script generation, identity disguise, and emotional manipulation.According to the investigation analysis, these systems extensively utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini at the functional level to support "scaled social fraud." The funding side achieves rapid laundering and transfer through on-chain payments and cross-border channels, forming a dual structure of "AI customer acquisition + encrypted settlement," which gives the fraud industry a high degree of automation and transnational diffusion capability. In addition, Starlink, owned by Musk, has become the number one network service provider for the scam park in Myanmar, with American ISP providers carrying nearly one-fifth of the park's traffic.In response to the related accusations, OpenAI stated that the behavior of scammers using ChatGPT is highly similar to that of ordinary users, making identification difficult. However, they have banned about 100,000 suspicious accounts monthly through behavioral pattern recognition and risk control systems. Google stated that its AI models have safety barriers in place and emphasized its commitment to "responsible AI development" to limit the tools' use for fraud and other illegal purposes.
