(NBC) 3. Nigeria Investigates Organ-Harvesting Ring After Discovering Mutilated Corpses: The horror is an especially grim example of Nigeria’s kidnapping epidemic, in which every sort of malevolent group — from Islamic State jihadis to huge bandit gangs and small groups of petty criminals — kidnaps vulnerable people. Over a hundred bodies were found at the “organ-harvesting slaughterhouse.” Both the hotel and mortuary were sealed by police while forensic teams examined the scene. (Breitbart) -US Events- 1.

CEOs Of Leading Banks To Discuss Crypto Market Structure With US Senators This Week: In the wake of the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump in July, attention is now turning to the CLARITY Act, commonly known as the crypto market structure bill. This legislation has encountered substantial delays, exacerbated by the recent government shutdown and a lack of consensus in Congress. This week, the CEOs of Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are scheduled to meet with both Republican and Democratic senators to discuss the evolving legislation. (Bitcoinist) -CBDCs/World Currencies/Strategic Reserves- 1. Bitcoin's Weakest November Since 2018: Bitcoin recorded its weakest November since 2018, with significant selling pressure originating from the European market. BTC and ETH declined 20-25%. (CoinGecko) -Institutional Concerns- 1.

Ninth Defendant Pleads Guilty in $263M | 2,909 BTC Crypto Social-Engineering Scheme: A 22-year-old California man has become the ninth defendant to plead guilty in a RICO-style crypto theft ring that drained roughly $263 million in Bitcoin from a single Washington, D.C. victim, and hundreds of millions more from other targets across the U.S. Prosecutors say the crew laundered the stolen crypto by first converting portions into privacy coin Monero, then routing funds through opaque exchanges and “crypto-to-cash” brokers, all while spending the proceeds on opulence. (Decrypt) (AC-This crew built a 'Oceans 11' style system to go after known crypto holders, but didn't have the same genius of movie crew to not stay out of jail. It certainly worked though.) 2. Snapchat Introduces Age Verification Amid Social Media Ban Concerns: Snapchat announced on December 09, 2025, that users under 16 can verify age via selfies for account access, raising privacy issues as Australia's social media ban for minors takes effect.

Ex-Venezuelan Spy Chief Warns Trump of Maduro's Narco-Terror Plot: Carvajal, who once ran Venezuela's military intelligence under Chávez and Maduro before defecting in 2017 and pleading guilty to narco-terrorism charges this June, accuses the Maduro regime of running the Cartel de los Soles to flood U.S. cities with cocaine, backed by Cuba, FARC, ELN, and Hezbollah. He details how the regime exported the Tren de Aragua gang to commit crimes like kidnappings and extortion in the U.S., alongside decades of spying, including Russian listening posts and paid U.S. officials. Carvajal also claims personal involvement in rigging Venezuela's elections via Smartmatic, which he says was designed to keep the regime in power and later exported with ties to U.S. systems—though such U.S. rigging claims lack evidence. (X, Various) (AC-If these claims are true, this could be the ultimate reasoning for the US pressure and potential conflict with Maduro and Venezuela.) 2. Leader of anti-Hamas militia armed by Israel killed in Gaza: Yasser Abu Shabab, who led a militia controlling a patch of territory in Rafah in southern Gaza, was killed while trying to “de-escalate a conflict” between members of a family in a public square. Abu Shabab, who was in his early 30s, appeared to be spreading his reach slowly in southern Gaza as he tried to carve out an area free of Hamas. (CNN) 3. Putin rejects key parts of US peace plan as Kremlin official warns Europe faces new war risk: Putin said there were parts of the American proposal he "can’t accept," including requirements for Russia to withdraw from occupied Ukrainian territory. (Fox) -US Events- 1. AG Bondi: Evidence Leading to J6 Pipe Bomber Arrest ‘Collecting Dust’ at Biden’s FBI for 4 Years: Brian Cole Jr. was arrested and charged with placing the pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC on January 5, 2021. He was also charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and the attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials, with more charges likely to result from the ongoing investigation. The arrest raises questions about the lack of progress made by the Biden administration under FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. (Breitbart) 2. Supreme Court Allows Texas Redistricting Map: The U.S. Supreme Court has permitted the Texas GOP to implement a newly redistricted congressional map temporarily. Texas state officials approved the map during the summer. (CBS) -Regulatory and Legal- 1. OpenAI Ordered to Produce Chat Logs: OpenAI must produce millions of anonymized chat logs from ChatGPT users in its high-stakes copyright dispute with the New York Times and other news outlets, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled. The judge rejected OpenAI's privacy-related objections to an earlier order requiring the artificial intelligence startup to submit the records as evidence. "There are multiple layers of protection in this case precisely because of the highly sensitive and private nature of much of the discovery," Wang said. (Reuters) 2. Digital asset payments now regulated by UAE Central Bank: The new rules say that anyone “carrying on, issuing, or facilitating, whether directly or indirectly, any Licensed Financial Activity, regardless of the medium, technology or form employed – shall be subject to the licensing, regulatory, and oversight jurisdiction of the Central Bank.” Conducting regulated financial activities without the requisite regulatory approval is also a criminal offense, which can carry prison terms. On the brighter side, the new law also lays the legal foundation for recognizing the digital dirham—the CBUAE’s CBDC—as legal tender. This means that the digital dirham is now on a legal footing with physical cash in the UAE. (CoinGeek) (AC-While some countries look to build Bitcoin payment rails, this harsh example shows the tyranny of centralization of digital assets, and the continued 'progress' toward a highly-managed financial system.) 3. Malaysian Authorities Are Using Drones to Target Power-Stealing Bitcoin Miners: Malaysian authorities are cracking down on Bitcoin mining operations stealing power from the grid using drones and handheld sensors. A special committee was formed to target illicit actors, resulting in the shutdown of almost 2,400 operations and the discovery of 14,000 illicit mining operations over the past five years.

US senators unveil bill to prevent easing of curbs on Nvidia chip sales to China: bipartisan group of U.S. senators, including prominent Republican China hawk Tom Cotton, on Thursday unveiled a bill that would block the Trump administration from loosening rules that restrict Beijing's access to artificial intelligence chips from Nvidia and AMD for 2.5 years. (reuters) -Technology and Science- 1. Bitcoin is quietly becoming the ultimate expert witness, forcing judges to accept a new standard of truth: Bitcoin introduced an alternative way to preserve a history of events, one that does not assume a single office or country will remain honest or functional. A satoshi can come to stand for a share in a company, a document hash, or a pointer to a land parcel held in a separate database. The timechain then becomes a permanent index of when those markers moved between keys, whether or not any court noticed at the time. (CryptoSlate) -Bitcoin Community- NSTR -Bitcoin Sentiment- 1.
