Faruk Fatih Ozer, the former CEO of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange Thodex, has been found dead in his prison cell in the western Turkish city of Tekirdag.

Summary
  • Thodex founder Faruk Fatih Ozer found dead in Turkish prison cell.
  • Ozer was serving an 11,196-year sentence for fraud and criminal activity.
  • Officials suspect suicide.

State-run broadcaster TRT reported the news on Saturday. An investigation is under way and officials are focusing on the possibility that Ozer committed suicide.

The 31-year-old was serving an 11,196-year prison sentence for crimes including fraud and leading a criminal organization following Thodex’s collapse in 2021.

Thodex imploded after final promotional campaign

Ozer founded Thodex in Istanbul in 2017 as a high school dropout. The platform grew to become one of Turkey’s biggest crypto exchanges with approximately 390,000 to 400,000 users.

The exchange was the only platform in Turkey at the time to offer Bitcoin ATM services.

Thodex ran its final promotional campaign from March 15 to April 15, 2021, and offered free Dogecoin to new users.

Around 4 million tokens were distributed. The campaign coincided with “Dogeday” on April 20, 2021, when Dogecoin’s price increased by 20%.

On April 20, 2021, users began experiencing transaction disruptions. Thodex claimed the issues were from a cyberattack. The following day, trading halted entirely and users could no longer access their accounts.

While the prosecutor’s initial indictment estimated total losses at around $24 million, Turkish media reported figures as high as $2 billion. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis estimated losses at $2.6 billion.

Ozer captured after fleeing to Albania

Ozer fled to Albania after the company’s collapse. An Interpol international arrest warrant was issued in April 2021. He was arrested in Albania on August 30, 2022, after more than a year on the run.

An Albanian court ordered his extradition to Turkey in 2022. Ozer was extradited in April 2023 and detained by police upon arrival.

On September 7, 2023, an Istanbul court found Ozer guilty on multiple charges including aggravated fraud, leading a criminal organization, money laundering, and being a member of an organization.

He was sentenced to 11,196 years, 10 months, and 15 days in prison and fined 135 million Turkish liras.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
