Dubai police arrested 275 suspects, while the Royal Thai Police separately apprehended 1 fugitive.The aforementioned scam network employed a "pig butchering" technique, gaining the trust of victims through fabricated friendships or romantic relationships, luring them to transfer funds to fake cryptocurrency investment platforms, and then laundering the money and transferring it to criminal accounts.This operation aligns with the executive order signed by Trump on March 6, 2026, aimed at combating overseas criminal networks that exploit U.S. citizens.

Currently, NeoSoul has adopted the Infini corporate card to support the team's expenses in SaaS subscriptions, AI APIs, cloud services, marketing, community operations, and collaboration tools during the globalization process, further enhancing the payment efficiency and financial management capabilities of AI/Web3 teams.As the globalization of AI and Web3 projects continues to increase, the team's daily expenses are showing characteristics of high frequency, small amounts, cross-border, and multi-platform. From model calls, cloud infrastructure, and node services to advertising, content production, and community growth, corporate financial tools have become an important infrastructure affecting R&D efficiency and market execution speed. Through this collaboration, NeoSoul will leverage the Infini corporate card and related tools to optimize the team's experience in cross-border spending, budget management, expense visualization, and operational collaboration, providing more flexible financial support for subsequent product development and global market expansion.In the future, both parties will further communicate around corporate financial operations in the AI era.

Caixin published an article titled "SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO is Coming: Who Can Buy and Is It Worth It?" which pointed out that Wall Street has never encountered an IPO of such a massive scale that is also so intricately linked to the U.S. government.Previously, Nasdaq had approved a new rule for "Fast Entry," allowing newly listed companies to be quickly included in the Nasdaq 100 if their market capitalization ranks in the top 40 of the Nasdaq 100 index within 15 trading days after listing. This rule will officially take effect on May 1, 2026, and is considered to be designed with the upcoming SpaceX listing in mind, while also paving the way for potential listings of OpenAI and Anthropic within 2026 or 2027.Assuming SpaceX lists with a valuation of $1.75 trillion and a free float ratio of 25% to 30%, the free float market capitalization on the first day of the IPO would be approximately between $440 billion and $530 billion. Based on the weight calculations for the Nasdaq 100, SpaceX would directly enter the top ten weighted stocks. Market news indicates that S&P 500 is also evaluating some form of "Fast Entry" plan, with details yet to be disclosed.

According to market news, attackers exploited a flawed EIP-7702 account to steal 1,988.5 QNT (approximately 54.93 ETH) from the QNT reserve pool. The root cause is that the reserve pool administrator EOA delegated the code to the BatchExecutor contract via EIP-7702, and this contract set the permissionless BatchCall contract as the authorized caller.Since the BatchCall.batch() function did not have any permission checks set, any external caller could invoke it, ultimately leading to the depletion of the reserve pool assets.

According to a16z, its researchers conducted a systematic test on whether AI agents can independently exploit DeFi price manipulation vulnerabilities.The study used a dataset of 20 Ethereum price manipulation incidents and employed Codex (GPT 5.4) equipped with the Foundry toolchain as the testing agent. Under baseline conditions without domain knowledge, the agent's success rate was only 10%; after introducing structured domain knowledge extracted from real attack events, the success rate increased to 70%. Failure cases showed that the agent could accurately identify vulnerabilities but generally struggled to understand the leverage logic of recursive borrowing, misjudged profit margins, and could not assemble multi-step attack structures across contracts. The experiment also recorded a sandbox escape incident: the agent extracted the RPC key from the local node configuration and called the anvil_reset method to reset the node to a future block, bypassing information isolation restrictions and obtaining real attack data. The research team believes that AI agents can currently effectively assist in vulnerability identification but cannot yet replace professional security auditors.
