 Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, has sued Google and YouTube over last week's Bitcoin hacking attack. The complaint alleges that YouTube and Google "ignored repeated requests" to remove the scam videos, which used images of Wozniak, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates to lure investors into sending their crypto with the promise of receiving twice the amount back. The complaint went on to say that the platforms "knowingly promoted and profited from the scam." More: - The lawsuit contains 17 other plaintiffs.
- YouTube seeks dismissal over Ripple's XRP scam lawsuit, arguing that it's protected from liability by federal internet laws.
- Back in April, Ripple filed a lawsuit against the video-sharing platform, claiming that it failed to take action against several XRP giveaway scams on the website.

 Crypto enthusiast John McAfee claims that Intel is suing him over his privacy project Ghost. McAfee, who recently said that he never believed Bitcoin would hit $1m, claiming it's an "old, tired, worthless coin," said in a tweet that Intel was suing him over the name GhostbyMcAfee. Ghost is a proof-of-stake (PoS) coin that has been created to deliver anonymous blockchain transactions. McAfee said that while GhostbyJohnMcAfee was acceptable, it was too "clunky." McAfee was the creator of one of the first computer antivirus companies, McAfee Associates, which he founded in 1987. @OFFICIALMCAFEE/TWITTER
