London Police Team Up With International Law Firm After Elderly Victim Defrauded for $2,580,000

Law enforcement authorities in the city of London are joining forces with an international law firm to help fraud victims recover their stolen assets. In a statement, the City of London Police says it is teaming up with law firm Gowling WLG for a civil asset recovery program that will be made available to select fraud cases where prosecution is not possible or viable. The partnership is being announced following a successful pilot project that helped an elderly victim suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who was swindled by a cryptocurrency scam scheme and lost more than £2 million ($2.58 million). According to the police force, the UK lost more than £570 million ($735.58 million) to fraud in the first half of 2024 alone. Says Gowling WLG director Bríd Holden, “We are hoping that working in collaboration with City of London Police will change the landscape and encourage more victims to report fraud, raising awareness generally.” The law enforcement agency says that in addition to giving fraud victims the opportunity to take back their losses, the program also enables civil asset recovery agents to pursue and seize the assets of organized crime groups (OCGs). Says City of London Police Detective Chief Inspector Craig Mullish, “[A] judicial outcome in the form of a custodial sentence and or conviction is the ideal outcome, however it’s the lost money or assets that can have a lasting effect on victims. This trial with Gowling WLG is a positive initiative, which we hope will provide a clear process for victims in helping them take back what is owed to them. ” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don`t Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Says Further 20% Market Drop Is Possible

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said the market could see another 20% drop, but that the current drawdown is a buying opportunity in the long term as the current situation doesn’t pose systematic risk. “I see it more as a buying opportunity than a selling opportunity, but that doesn’t mean we can’t go down further,” Fink said during an appearance at the Economic Club of New York on Monday. He noted that inflationary pressure is higher than market participants expect and that many already believe the U.S. to be in a recession. As a result, he does not anticipate the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year. Last month, Fink published a letter to shareholders, warning about Bitcoin’s (BTC) threat to the U.S. dollar, which could weaken if Americans believe the cryptocurrency to be a safer asset than the dollar. Markets, including the crypto market, have been in turmoil since U.S. President Donald Trump announced a host of tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. BTC is currently trading 5% lower over the past five days and 11% lower in the past month. Stocks were hit even worse with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down 13% and 15%, respectively. The Daily Hodl
