  Scaramucci bets on FTX’s bitter ex(-President) 

Heartache is probably the best word to describe what we feel whenever FTX is mentioned. But here we are talking about it again…

This time popular Bitcoin proponent, Anthony Scaramucci plans to

invest

his own money in a crypto company founded by the former president of FTX.US (not the disgraced FTX president, Sam Bankman-Fried). 

Just three weeks after FTX’s fall from grace, Brett Harrison launched a new crypto venture. 

Harrison hasn’t cooked up a name for the company yet, but with recent events we hope it goes beyond three letters. FTX, DCG, now TBD?

On learning of Scaramucci’s investment, Harrison took to Twitter to

“support and advice means the world to me.” 

While there are a lot of people discussing whether Scaramucci is right to back a firm with people linked to FTX, he has had some pretty lofty predictions for 2023’s rebound that seem to be heading in the right direction. A popular Bitcoin holder, Yuki Eliot

The influencer took to twitter to air his grievances after losing his “entire digital livelihood” from clicking a phishing advertisement link on Google.How did this happen to Alex? Well, he clicked a sponsored ad on Google when trying to download OBS – an open-source video streaming software.The link created a backdoor for the hackers who found their way into Alex’s personal and professional accounts. They stole 19 ETH, an MAYC NFT (worth 16 ETH), among other NFTs.The attackers funneled and swapped the funds for unknown tokens on FixedFloat. They then moved to his Substack and sent phishing emails to his 16,000 subscribers.So, how can you avoid phishing through ads? NFT collector, @ABBBBBB_NFT has some advice:

In 2022, Visa and Mastercard hit settlement volumes of $14.1 trillion and $7.7 trillion, respectively.
