The FTX/Alameda saga continues, with news late Wednesday that two key Sam Bankman-Fried associates have been charged with federal criminal offenses in the U.S.: Both former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX co-founder Gary Wang pleaded guilty to multiple charges, and accepted plea agreements that offer reduced sentencing in exchange for assistance in ongoing investigations into wrongdoing at FTX/Alameda that prove “substantial.”

Meanwhile, Sam Bankman-Fried was also extradited to the U.S. from the Bahamas on Wednesday, facing suits by the SEC and CFTC over fraud, as well as federal criminal charges. When Southern District of New York attorney Damian Williams announced the charges at a press event last week, he noted that his office was “not done” in terms of levying additional charges, and now we know Ellison and Wang were at least some of the individuals he was referring to at the time.

Ellison and Wang are likely to be key witnesses for the feds in the SBF case, given that they are most likely to have direct and best knowledge that SBF knew about the use of FTX customer funds to cover Alameda’s risky crypto trading bets.

With over 68 million likes (and growing), a post by football sensation and World Cup champion Lionel Messi has overtaken all other posts on Instagram, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Messi was Argentina’s talisman as they won the men’s World Cup for the third time on Sunday after defeating France in a penalty shootout. Messi plays club football outside of international games for Paris Saint-Germain in France.

Atomic clocks are known to be the most accurate in terms of timekeeping, but how do they do it?

As the old saying goes, “Time is golden.” A bit cliche, perhaps, but true. Time is such an important aspect of our everyday lives that every hour, if not every second, matters. Whether it is from clocking in to begin work to navigating in space, the measurement of time is vital.

Just like anything that needs to be measured, one of the most important aspects of time is its accurate measurement.

The small mammal was found inside a 120-million-year-old fossil.

Paleontologists have uncovered the first known incident of a mammal being eaten by a dinosaur. Hold your horses. Scientists have confirmed that the mammal would not have been a human ancestor.

Published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the findings point to a 120-million-year-old fossil of a small, feathered dinosaur called a Microraptor that contained a small mammal inside its ribcage.

While this mammal would absolutely not have been a human ancestor, we can look back at some of our ancient relatives being a meal for hungry dinosaurs.
