Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance

The first major support is $57,800. If there is a close below $57,800, the price could start to drop toward $56,350. Any more losses might send the price toward the $55,000 support zone in the near term.

Former SEC attorney John Reed Stark urges DOJ to ‘wake up’ and prosecute crypto-grifters

A former attorney of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) believes prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ) is necessary to deal with crypto grifters. John Reed Stark, who spent 15 years as an SEC enforcement attorney leading cyber-related investigations, says crypto criminals treat regulatory enforcement with levity.
