- 01:19Sam Altman’s ex-boyfriend, OpenAI co-founder, suffers home invasion and loses $11 million worth of crypto assetsOn November 26, according to police sources and insiders cited by the New York Post, a tech investor who previously dated OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman had their San Francisco residence subjected to an armed robbery last Saturday night, losing crypto assets worth $11 million. Surveillance footage shows the suspect, disguised as a deliveryman with a white package, ringing the doorbell of the $4.4 million home. When the suspect falsely claimed to be “Joshua” delivering a package and identified himself as a UPS partner employee, the victim opened the door and confirmed he was Joshua. After pretending to request a signature and borrow a pen, the suspect followed the resident inside, and a loud noise was soon heard at the scene. According to police, the suspect held the victim at gunpoint inside, tied him up with tape, emptied his crypto accounts, and stole his phone and computer. When police arrived at 6:45 p.m. that evening, they found the victim with multiple bruises. Investigators revealed that the gunman stole $11 million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin, believed to be a targeted operation by an organized crime group. According to sources, after tying up the victim, the suspect tortured him, beating him while on speakerphone, with a foreign-accented voice on the other end repeatedly reciting the victim’s personal information. The robbers then emptied all his crypto wallets in about 90 minutes. Reportedly, the 31-year-old homeowner, Lachy Groom, is a venture capitalist and the former boyfriend of 40-year-old Sam Altman. Property records show he purchased the home from the Altman brothers in 2021 for $1.8 million.

- 01:08Arca Chief Investment Officer: Strategy does not need to sell BTC at allJinse Finance reported that Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman posted this morning: "For years, I have been refuting misconceptions about Strategy (MSTR), but every time BTC drops, the same nonsense resurfaces—people claim that MSTR will be forced to sell BTC, or that its holdings will be liquidated, as if this were some kind of leveraged perpetual contract... Anyone who spends less than five minutes consulting any debt or equity expert will understand that unless BTC's decline reaches a point where MSTR's selling becomes insignificant, MSTR simply does not need to sell BTC." Dorman added that the main reasons MSTR does not need to sell BTC are as follows: 1. Considering that Saylor holds 42% of the shares, it is almost impossible for activist investors to take control of the board; 2. There are no mandatory sale provisions in the debt terms; 3. Interest payments are within a controllable range (don't forget that its core technology business can still generate positive cash flow); 4. Very few companies default due to debt maturity (investors are like a flock of sheep and almost always choose to extend the debt—solving problems by delaying them).
