� � � � � � How to spot a crypto scam - Fortune    As cryptocurrency battles its way into the mainstream, the volume of fraud and scams associated with the unregulated payment system has forged ahead. According to the latest available data from the FTC, more than 46,000 people in the U.S. reported losing an accumulative $1 billion to crypto scams between January 2021 and June 2022. In 2021, losses to crypto scams were 60 times higher than they had been in 2018.  “Cryptocurrency can be a fast, convenient, and inexpensive way to pay for products or services, transfer assets, or conduct other types of transactions online. It also has the potential to be used as a meaningful short-term or long-term investment,” according to a Morgan Stanley blog post, offering an explanation for why so many people are drawn to the promise of crypto. “But it’s important to realize that virtual currencies don’t have an established track record of credibility or trust and they’re not regulated or backed by any central bank worldwide. So, emphasize safety when using cryptocurrency and be vigilant about protecting yourself against cryptocurrency scams,” the blog post goes on to say. Continued here � � � � � � Don't like ads?

The new initiative, announced Friday morning, involves the departments of Housing and Urban Development and Transportation, along with the General Services Administration and the Office of Management and Budget in a multi-pronged effort to address both the national shortage of affordable housing and the post-pandemic surplus of vacant office buildings. “This presents an area of opportunity to both increase housing supply while revitalizing main streets. It’s a win-win,” said Lael Brainard, director of the National Economic Council. “We’re utilizing resources from across the government.” Continued here � � � � � � The sale of 67 million acres of Gulf oil leases is being held up by environmentalists asking to think about the endangered whales - Fortune    A sale of federal Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases that had been scheduled for Nov. 8 was delayed Thursday by a federal appeals court, pending court arguments that focus on protections for an endangered whale species. The Biden administration announced the sale in March and originally scheduled it for Sept. 27. But, in August, the administration reduced the the area available for leases from 73 million acres (30 million hectares) to 67 million acres (27 million hectares), as part of a plan to protect the endangered Rice’s whale. The changes from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, or BOEM, also included new speed limits and new requirements for personnel on industry vessels in some of the areas to be leased. Oil and gas companies sued, resulting in a Lake Charles-based federal judge’s order throwing out the changes. The administration appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The appeals court initially set the sale for Nov. 8 while the appeal proceeded. On Thursday, however, the court issued an order that delays the sale until some time after the case is argued on Nov. 13. Continued here
