The US CFTC has filed a lawsuit against cryptocurrency pool operator Trevor Vernon, alleging a $14.8 million investment fraud.
According to BlockBeats, on July 8th, the US CFTC filed a lawsuit against Trevor Vernon and his company, Argent Capital Management, on Tuesday. The lawsuit alleges that between March 2022 and February 2026, Vernon operated a commodity pool involving stock index futures, options, and crypto assets, raising approximately $14.8 million from at least 60 investors and falsely advertising investment performance, thus committing investment fraud. The CFTC claims that the transactions resulted in losses exceeding $8.6 million for investors. Vernon allegedly concealed these losses and misappropriated approximately $3 million to pay returns to investors, operating in a manner "similar to a Ponzi scheme," and misappropriated $136,000 for private jet travel. The regulator also points out that the transactions involved commodities such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and is requesting the court to prohibit Vernon from continuing related trading and registration activities, recover illegal gains, impose civil penalties, and compensate investors.

The US revoked waivers for Iranian oil sales, leaving approximately 63 million barrels of Iranian crude oil stranded at sea.
According to Mars Finance, on July 8th, Bloomberg cited Vortexa data, after the US revoked waivers for Iranian oil sales, approximately 63 million barrels of Iranian crude oil are currently stranded at sea, with most tankers anchored in the Persian Gulf and Asian waters, and no buyers have yet been found. Previously, the US had allowed Iran to sell crude oil within 60 days without sanctions, but this week revoked the waivers citing Iran's attack on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in a significant amount of already loaded crude oil facing sales difficulties. Market analysts stated that Iranian crude oil exports are once again under pressure due to factors such as sudden changes in US policy, European and American sanctions, and insurance restrictions. Apart from China, no Asian refineries have publicly purchased Iranian crude oil, and industry insiders expect Iran may need to further increase discounts to attract overseas buyers.
