 In May 2018, the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into Bitcoin traders in Britain into possible price manipulation. According to a report, sources said that the department was examining trading in the U.K., the U.S., and other countries amid concerns that groups were illegally moving crypto prices. Two sources aware of the investigation said that digital currency traders in Britain were the focus of the inquiry. At the time, officials wanted to know whether traders were employing a tactic known as spoofing, which involves flooding the market with buy and sell orders to push the price of an asset up or down before canceling the order after profiting from the price swing. At the time of the investigation, the price of Bitcoin dropped 5.1 percent to $7,518.19, whereas Ether fell by 6.8 percent to $581.

Our Crypto Masterclass features a well-known thought leader or expert in the crypto space. Today, I focus on Ted Quek, CTO of the Broctagon Fintech Group.

Quek said: "It is interesting to see how the tables have turned here. A CEO who once called Bitcoin a 'fraud' is now recognizing the real-use cases for crypto in financial services." | |

The Bitcoin.org website is getting a new owner. Originally registered by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin developer Martti Malmi, the website was transferred to a group of individuals in 2011 when Nakamoto left the scene. Acting as a resource for beginners interested in learning about Bitcoin, current co-owner Cobra has said in a Github post that they will be reducing their involvement in the site this year, adding that they won't be around anymore. Cobra went on to say that the domain will be left in trusted hands and that they had a few people in mind to take over. GITHUB
