Coinbase will cut ties with several members of Neutrino who worked at controversial cybersecurity startup Hacking Team. That includes members of Neutrino's C-suite, including CEO Giancarlo Russo, CTO Alberto Ornaghi and chief research officer Marco Valleri. The decision comes after public outcry over Neutrino's ties to Hacking Team, which came to light following Coinbase's acquisition last month. Hacking Team allegedly sold spyware and questionable pieces of software to human rights abuser groups and governments. The members of Neutrino without ties to Hacking Team will still join ​​​​Coinbase's operation in London as was previously planned. –ETHEREUM WORLD NEWS       2. Starbucks will reportedly receive a "disproportionately high" equity reward for its continued adoption pledge for Bakkt, the New York Stock Exchange's forthcoming crypto trading platform. This, however, does not mean users can buy a caramel macchiato at their local store directly with bitcoin. The Bakkt software customers use will exchange their cryptocurrency for fiat, which will then be used to pay Starbucks. That way Starbucks itself never holds cryptocurrency. However, the arrangement may incentivize the company's 60 million customers per week to use crypto for small transactions. –THE BLOCK CRYPTO       Ad Rainmakers- The leading recruiting platform for top tech salespeople Awesome tech companies like Looker, Algolia, JFrog and Affinity build high performing, diverse sales teams using Rainmakers.

Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey purchases the maximum $10,000 worth of bitcoin every week, he said on the "Tales from the Crypt" podcast. The amounts to about 2.7 BTC per week. Dorsey, who has been a vocal proponent of bitcoin and the lightning network in media interviews in recent weeks, did not say for how long he has been accumulating bitcoin. However, if he bought $10,000 worth of bitcoin every week for a year, that total would still only account for 0.0928 percent of his $5.6 billion net worth. –NEWS BTC       4. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have started investigations into beleaguered crypto exchange QuadrigaCX. Jesse Powell, the CEO of Kraken, said both law enforcement agencies contacted him as part of an effort to learn what happened at QuadrigaCX, which has been unable to account for $135 million in cryptocurrency following its founder's death in December. Powell said he believes QuadrigaCX did not put the cryptocurrency into cold storage as once believe, but into Internet-connected "hot wallets" on other exchanges. He added that the FBI and RCMP could issue subpoenas to other exchanges that reportedly received funds from QuadrigaCX. –FORTUNE       Ad Get Access To The Boss Cryptocurrency Trading Course - For FREE In This Free Course You Will Learn: - The exact trading strategy we used to win in 2018 - How to stop the seemingly endless cycle of losing money, forever - How to do it all trading less than 4 hours per week This course is 100% free for this week only.
