Okuma süresi: 2 dk

An Oregon shoe reseller orchestrated a sweeping fraud scheme that cost customers and banks more than $80,000,000, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Prosecutors say 42 year-old Michael Malekzadeh, the former owner of now-defunct Zadeh Kicks LLC, abused customer funds to finance a lavish lifestyle that included luxury watches, jewelry, handbags and high-end vehicles from Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.

According to court documents, Malekzadeh began selling limited-edition sneakers online in 2013. Starting in 2020, his company offered preorders for unreleased sneakers, collecting money upfront while knowing he could not fulfill all orders.

By April 2022, prosecutors say Malekzadeh’s “insatiable greed” led him to owe more than $65,000,000 in undelivered merchandise to customers.

Investigators also say Malekzadeh conspired to defraud financial institutions by submitting altered bank statements and false financial information to receive more than $15,000,000 in bank loans.

Malekzadeh has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud and has received a 70-month prison sentence followed by five years of supervised release.

He is also ordered to forfeit more than $15,000,000 in assets, with restitution to be determined later.

Law enforcement agents seized millions in cash and luxury goods along with nearly $7,500,000 from the sale of Malekzadeh’s home, vehicles and watches, and a restitution hearing is scheduled for March 31st.

Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity

The post Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s article, we’ll examine the recent performance of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. We’ll review how the rally from the April 07, 2025 low unfolded as a 5-wave impulse followed by a 3-swing correction (ABC) and discuss our forecast for the next move. Let’s dive into the structure and expectations for this stock. Five wave impulse structure + ABC + WXY correction $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 9.04.2025 In the 8-hour Elliott Wave count from Sep 04, 2025, we saw that $MSFT completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle at red III. As expected, this initial wave prompted a pullback. We anticipated this pullback to unfold in 3 swings and find buyers in the equal legs area between $497.02 and $471.06 This setup aligns with a typical Elliott Wave correction pattern (ABC), in which the market pauses briefly before resuming its primary trend. $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 7.14.2025 The update, 10 days later, shows the stock finding support from the equal legs area as predicted allowing traders to get risk free. The stock is expected to bounce towards 525 – 532 before deciding if the bounce is a connector or the next leg higher. A break into new ATHs will confirm the latter and can see it trade higher towards 570 – 593 area. Until then, traders should get risk free and protect their capital in case of a WXY double correction. Conclusion In conclusion, our Elliott Wave analysis of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) suggested that it remains supported against April 07, 2025 lows and bounce from the blue box area. In the meantime, keep an eye out for any corrective pullbacks that may offer entry opportunities. By applying Elliott Wave Theory, traders can better anticipate the structure of upcoming moves and enhance risk management in volatile markets.
