12,000 BTC from PlusToken scam moved to unknown address
More than 12,000 bitcoins (currently worth over $ 117 million) associated with the alleged PlusToken fraud have just moved to two new addresses. Chiachih Wu, vice president of research at the Chinese blockchain security company PeckShield, reported on which addresses they were. The first address contains more than 11,999 bitcoins and the second address contains more than 424 bitcoins. Wu said the new addresses look like “cold wallets”. Cold wallet means storing private keys on a hardware device that is disconnected from the Internet.

Indian police warn against the use of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
India remains one of those countries in the world with regulatory uncertainty about cryptocurrencies. While the Indian Central Bank (RBI) has already made clear that digital assets in the country are not illegal, the Tamil Nadu police department issued a new warning that the public should avoid cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency has the same characteristics as gold and other precious metals, and since cryptocurrencies do not have a state guarantee, they are not considered legal tender, police said.
