Goldman Sachs said on May 14 that the likely direction of the USD/Asian currency pair is still down after the recent progress in trade negotiations. It said that despite the recent progress in trade negotiations between China and the United States, the main themes of the market have not changed. These themes are: the trend of gradually diversifying investments from US assets should continue; Asian exporters should continue to convert US dollars into local currencies; if the Asian region conducts trade negotiations with the United States, it may be more difficult for its currency to depreciate.South Koreas unemployment rate was 2.7% in April, in line with expectations of 3% and the previous value of 2.90%.U.S. House Speaker Johnson: Republicans may not reach an agreement on the state and local government tax (SALT) bill until tomorrow.German Geoscience Research Center GFZ: A 6.3-magnitude earthquake occurred on the Greek island of Crete.On May 14, the article stated that recently, some consumers found that after purchasing a monthly pass for shared bicycles, they were still charged for overtime within the specified time, and a single payment was turned into a membership card. This kind of platform inducement phenomenon exists in many shared economy consumption scenarios. Inclusiveness is the starting point of the shared economy. The value of the shared economy lies in allowing more people to enjoy services in a convenient and low-cost way, rather than exploiting user interests through information asymmetry. If the platform wants to achieve sustainable development, it must optimize the membership mechanism, ensure transparent rules, reasonable billing, and freedom to cancel subscriptions, so that consumers can truly feel the benefits. Dont forget the original intention of inclusiveness, so that the shared platform can truly play its social value and achieve a win-win situation with consumers.

Ex-CFO pleads guilty to stealing from SPACs to trade meme stocks, cryptocurrencies

An ex-chief financial officer (CFO) of several special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) pled guilty to stealing more than $5 million from them and losing almost all of it in joke stocks and cryptocurrencies.


Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, Cooper Morgenthau, 35, of Fernandina Beach, Florida, entered a plea of guilty to one count of wire fraud. The judge was U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer.


When Morgenthau is sentenced on April 25, the suggested federal guidelines call for a jail term of between six and seven and a half years.


The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also resolved related civil allegations against him in exchange for his agreement to lose $5.11 million and pay an equivalent amount in restitution.


A representative for Morgenthau, Michael Bowen, refused to comment.


According to the authorities, Morgenthau stole more than $1.2 million from African Gold Acquisition Corp between June 2021 and August 2022, covered it up by fabricating account statements, and either spent it all in securities trading or lost it all.


The SEC said that Morgenthau then solicited $4.7 million from investors in SPACs known as Strategic Metals Acquisition Corp to make up for his losses, only to lose the majority of it in cryptocurrency trading.


African Gold, a New York-based company formed to purchase a gold mining company, raised $414 million in an IPO in February 2021.


According to the SEC, it dismissed Morgenthau in August of last year when he ran out of money and its suppliers refused to do business with him.


At the time, African Gold said that it fired Morgenthau after becoming aware of his "improper withdrawals" and efforts to hide them.


According to a statement from Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, Morgenthau "confessed that he betrayed the trust that he owed to his public and private investors."
