Government borrowing costs have risen to a 30-year high due to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis expansionary fiscal agenda. The Ministry of Finance stated on Friday that total budget requests submitted by various government departments reached 143.1 trillion yen (approximately US$917.78 billion) after the government adopted a unified framework for compiling initial and supplementary budgets. The increase in budget requests highlights the contradictions at the heart of Takaichis economic policies. On the one hand, she promotes investment in strategic sectors; on the other hand, this policy has also driven up borrowing costs and increased market focus on the scale of government bond issuance next year. The total requests exceed the 140.61 trillion yen comprehensive spending plan finalized in Takaichis first year in office. This plan includes a supplementary budget of 18.3 trillion yen for fiscal year 2025 and an initial budget of 122.3 trillion yen for fiscal year 2026. This scale is also comparable to government spending during the COVID-19 pandemic to support households and businesses.On September 4th, Tesla (TSLA.O) announced that it has begun offering ride-hailing services for its two-seater Cybercab in a "limited area" in Austin, Texas.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated that the Cybercab will be a key product enabling Tesla to become a dominant force in the field of self-driving cars. Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for developing and enforcing vehicle safety regulations, including overseeing the safety of new vehicle models. An NHTSA spokesperson stated, "The NHTSA is in communication with Tesla and is evaluating the situation." However, the spokesperson did not provide further details.

U.S. lays claim to $1 billion in stolen Silk Road Bitcoin

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said on Monday that the US is requesting the seizure of more than $1 billion in Bitcoin that was seized from the Silk Road internet bazaar.


Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials found the 50,000 Bitcoin during a search of the defendant James Zhong's Gainesville, Georgia, residence in November 2021, making it the second-largest seizure in US Department of Justice history.


For fooling Silk Road's processing system into disbursing the payments to his accounts in 2012, Zhong, 32, pleaded guilty to wire fraud on Friday.


The Bitcoin was worth more than $3 billion when it was confiscated. Since then, it has lost around two thirds of its worth.


According to an affidavit signed by IRS special agent Trevor McAleenan, some of the stolen Bitcoin was discovered on a computer inside a popcorn container kept in a bathroom closet.


According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan, "for almost ten years, the whereabouts of this large chunk of missing Bitcoin had inflated into an over $3.3 billion mystery." "We won't give up looking for the money... even to a circuit board in a popcorn tin's base.


In 2013, the U.S. government shut down Silk Road, citing it as a sizable marketplace for illegal drugs and money laundering.


Ross Ulbricht, the man of Silk Road, was found guilty on seven charges of facilitating the sale of illegal drugs using bitcoin in 2015. He was given a life sentence and lost his 2017 appeal.


At his sentencing on February 22, 2023 before U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe, Zhong might receive a sentence of 27 to 33 months in prison, although the prosecution may ask for a longer term.


In addition, the defendant consented to give up $661,900 in addition to other assets and his share of a real estate business.


According to Michael Bachner, his attorney, Zhong has "nearly" returned every bitcoin.


In a statement, Bachner stated that Zhong was "very sorry" for his actions, which took place more than 10 years ago when he was only 22.
