Between 2021 and 2024, Vong used false identification to secure software development positions at at least 13 U.S. companies, which paid him over $970,000 in salaries, while the actual work was performed remotely by North Korean agents based in China. Some companies even subcontracted Vong's services to U.S. government agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), resulting in these agents gaining unauthorized access to sensitive government systems.
- 07:11Aave founder: The UK's new tax rules simplify taxation and promote institutional adoption of cryptocurrenciesAccording to ChainCatcher, as reported by Yahoo Finance, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the recent DeFi tax guidelines released by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) may mark a turning point for crypto lending in the UK. The document points out that depositing digital assets or stablecoins such as USDC or USDT into DeFi platforms will not be considered a taxable disposal at the time of deposit. In other words, when users deposit their crypto assets into DeFi platforms for lending, staking, or borrowing, it will not trigger capital gains tax. Capital gains tax is only required when users actually dispose of their assets (for example, by selling, converting, or otherwise cashing out), rather than simply transferring tokens into or out of DeFi protocols. According to the new approach, these routine DeFi transactions fall under the category of "no gain, no loss," thereby providing investors with clearer and more practical tax guidance. Kulechov added that the simplified tax approach reduces the burden, enabling broader institutional adoption while also making operations easier for ordinary retail users.
