Alphabit Liam Robertson, a digital asset fund manager, lost his million dollars’ worth Bitcoin in an email phishing attack. This happened after Liam has agreed to invest 100 Bitcoins to an algorithmic trading fund. But unfortunately, before he could invest the amount to the fund, the hackers tricked him into sending those Bitcoins as per their chosen wallet address. A blockchain investigation over the case revealed that the hackers then transferred his 80 Bitcoins to Coinbase, which is the US cryptocurrency exchange having its wing in the UK. It also discovered that the hackers also transferred 15 Bitcoins to the LocalBitcoins and five more Bitcoins to an offline wallet. At that time, Bitcoin was trading at around $11,000 which means the net worth of the stolen Bitcoins was around $1.1 Million.

Following this, Robertson had filed a case and the legal dispute between Coinbase UK and Liam Robertson went on for two long months. After that Coinbase UK has struck a deal to discontinue the legal dispute and agreed to reach out for a settlement out of court.

Robertson subsequently was granted an asset prevention order in August which prohibited Coinbase UK from transferring the Bitcoins that were stolen. He was also granted a Bankers Order Trust that allowed Coinbase UK to disclose the controller of the wallet holding the 80 Bitcoins without flouting the confidentiality agreement.

The verdict given in this case, Roberts Vs Unknown Persons would help future proceedings in the Cryptocurrency matters in the UK. This also established whether Bitcoin can be considered as legal property. The verdict could also help victims of cryptocurrency theft.

As per Investopedia, around 13% of the cryptocurrency theft cases reported are through phishing emails. Around $47 million Bitcoins were stolen through phishing mail attacks.

For a startup company, it is an unimaginable success that made headlines. Elliptic, a Crypto startup platform which is based in London, sells blockchain analytic tools to some of the big names in the Cryptocurrency platforms. It primarily deals with issues like terrorist funding, child pornography, and illicit drugs rackets. While doing so, it sensed something unusual going on in the stock markets and was all set to combat this cryptocurrency issue.

According to James Smith, the CEO, and co-founder of Elliptic, the corporate was able to gauge that some Bitcoin laundering was taking place in the Stock Market, but due to lack of proof Elliptic could not find the actual masterminds in the case. It had long warned the customers about this unusual happening taking place in the stock market. He said in one event that took place in the New York City that they were able to gauge that the funds were being exchanged for terrorist activities and they had already spotted then and successfully withheld its further progressions.

The news made headlines when Elliptic found out that a terrorist organization called Al-Qassam Brigades, which is also the military wing of Hamas, was illegally raising Bitcoins through a donation website opened to receive donations from each customer whoever visited their website. As they were using different addresses for different customers, it took a considerable amount of time for the Crypto startup company to find out the Bitcoin laundering masterminds.

On Wednesday, the agency made the final announcement over a telephonic interview with CNBC that it had managed to raise an amount of $23 million from a funding spherical, which was led by one of the SBI Holdings of Japan, which was all set to make a belligerent expansion into the Asian subcontinents. Previously, SBI had also made headlines for service spinning from Softbank which came into the forefront due to partnerships with Ripple and R3 like blockchain Companies.

The cumulative investments made on Blockco leaped slightly over $25B, since its advent in December 2014.

South Korea is undoubtedly among the leading countries to have rapidly adopted blockchain technology. And one of its most instrumental participants is tech giant Samsung SDS-backed blockchain specialized technology company, Blockco. Since 2014, the company has been providing an optimized blockchain platform for enterprises and government.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, Blockco announced to have raised 9 billion won (~$7.5 million) in a Series B funding round participated by major local banks. The South Korea-based startup made the announcement of the investment on their official blog.

The funding round involved the country’s oldest bank, Shinhan Bank, and its largest foreign exchange bank, Korea Exchange Bank, also known as KEB Hana Bank. In addition, healthcare-focused venture capital firm, LB Investment (formerly Nexon’s firm), and Big Hit Entertainment, the venture arm of Seoul-based entertainment startup Dadam Game, have also supported the investment. This is going to be their very first investment in the blockchain technology sector.

Kim Won-Beom, the founder of Blockco, said, “We have transformed blockchain-based services across large corporations, financial institutions, public institutions, and domestic and international companies.”

Back in 2015, Blockco had established a blockchain-as-a-service platform called Coinstack, and recently in 2018, it launched its blockchain protocol, Aergo mainnet that aids over ten companies, including Korea Exchange, Shinhan Financial Group and Hyundai Motor Group. Also, in 2017, Blockco participated in the development of the blockchain system NexLedger, in a collaboration with Samsung and Amazon Web Services. Nexledger–a permissioned blockchain system–helps to provide an integrated solution for cost-efficient management of digital financial transactions and data exchange.

Kim Sung-Hyun, an investment auditor at LB Investment, said, “The enterprise IT market has a high market potential for the best use of blockchain technology. Blockco has been selected as the first investment company in the blockchain sector because of its success in building an open-source ecosystem based on Aergo.”

Aergo’s CEO, Phil Zamani, identifies the biggest beneficiaries of Blockco’s solution as those companies that are currently facing the ‘silo effect’ while sharing data with third-parties securely.

“Our blockchain solution lets companies leverage a hybrid 2-layer architecture that uses a public chain for secure settlement, allowing companies to share data with each other securely,” he said. This, essentially, creates new revenue streams, business models along with cost reductions for all kinds of organizations.

Zamani also shared Blockco’s plans to launch its network by Q2 of 2019 and to have its full product line-up (the AERGO Hub, Horde, and Marketplace) out by the end of this year. The company’s roadmap includes the development of various blockchain-based solutions that can be utilized in the smart grid field.
