Sun Yat-sen and Star's remote conversation about the stolen funds from Trondao

Recently, @trondao's official Twitter account was hacked, and subsequently, Sun Yat-sen stated on Twitter (now deleted): We urgently call on OKX to freeze and investigate the fraudulent funds deposited after @trondao's Twitter account was hacked. We believe OKX will take swift and responsible action to ensure its platform does not become a haven for fraud. He also stated that law enforcement has intervened and is actively investigating the case, and provided associated addresses.

Subsequently, Star quoted the post and stated: 'Dear Mr. Sun Yat-sen, OKX has a public Law Enforcement Cooperation policy. You can provide preliminary evidence of the incident through public reporting channels, and we will proceed with a temporary emergency freeze based on the evidence. Then you should cooperate with law enforcement to provide us with the legal documents for continued freezing. OKX also has policies to legally protect consumers, we cannot freeze customer funds based on your personal X posts or verbal communications. I believe, as the CEO of HTX, you should understand this.'

The most popular gold among Chinese people experienced significant volatility in April, with gold prices surging to $3,400 last month and then dropping to $3,211. Economictimes reports that the decline in gold prices may be influenced by the easing of global trade tensions, coupled with China's long May Day holiday, during which the market was closed. This leading gold-holding country has seen more selling than buying, leading to a short-term liquidity vacuum.

Economictimes reminds that focus will be on next week's U.S. non-farm payroll report to gauge future economic outlook. Data released last Wednesday showed that the overall U.S. economy was in recession during the first quarter, with businesses in a wait-and-see mode regarding Trump's tariff sanctions and potential developments. As many companies rushed to import large quantities of goods before tariff sanctions, consumers hoarded products, leading to a temporary flat personal consumption index in March. All eyes are currently on the U.S. non-farm payroll wage report scheduled for release on Friday. Federal Reserve policymakers stated that interest rates will remain unchanged unless there are clear signs of inflation dropping to 2% or a continued deterioration in the labor market.

At the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting, Warren Buffett finally announced that he would hand over the position of CEO to his successor Greg Abel before the end of the year. This shareholder meeting, which is hailed as the most grand one, also had many focuses, such as Berkshire Hathaway has been selling stocks for ten consecutive quarters and its cash level has reached a new high. Even if Japan raises interest rates, it has no intention of selling stocks, and uses "churches and casinos" as a metaphor for the development of American capitalism. And Buffett himself talks about the current market situation, etc. Chain News takes you to the front line.

Berkshire Hathaway sells stocks for ten consecutive quarters, and its cash on hand hits a new high

Every 'Employment Report Friday', the market always holds its breath for clues about economic trends. Recently, the U.S. economy seems to be on an unusual track. Although overall data has not shown a comprehensive recession, multiple industries have already entered a winter. Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood deeply interprets the content of the investment letter released, revealing the economy's 'rolling recession', the labor hoarding behaviors of companies, the double-edged sword role of AI and automation, and why the current sluggish sentiment may be the prelude to the recovery of the innovative economy.

The Oracle of Omaha (Warren Buffett) has seen his Buffett Indicator recently fall to last September's low. Is this a buying signal? Berkshire Hathaway will hold its annual shareholder meeting in Omaha this weekend, and many predict that this could be the last time 94-year-old Buffett fully participates in the meeting. Investors will closely watch whether Buffett has started using the company's record cash reserves to buy cheap assets in the market.

The Buffett Indicator has recently declined. Will it repeat the big rebound after last year's yen arbitrage liquidation?

In a December 2001 interview with Forbes, Buffett mentioned that the ratio of total market capitalization to GDP could serve as a gauge to determine whether the overall stock market is overvalued or undervalued, thus it is commonly referred to as the Buffett Indicator. This indicator can measure whether the current financial market reasonably reflects fundamentals. Buffett's theoretical index indicates that 75% to 90% is a reasonable range, while over 120% suggests that the stock market is overvalued. According to charts from Financial M Square, the Buffett Indicator has remained at elevated levels since 2016, hovering above 200 from late last year to early this year, but fell to 165 in early April. Its current value stands at 189, approximately equivalent to the level following last year's yen arbitrage liquidation, which temporarily but sharply depressed the indicator, after which the stock market saw a significant rebound.

On April 25, OpenAI launched the new version GPT-4o update in ChatGPT, but users quickly discovered that this update made the AI model excessively 'people-pleasing', not only in language but even reinforcing negative emotions or encouraging impulsive behavior. This update raised safety and ethical concerns, and OpenAI ultimately announced the rollback of the update on April 28, publicly explaining the origins and ramifications of this incident.

Controversy over the update: GPT-4o criticized for being 'too obedient'

The original purpose of this update was to improve the response quality of ChatGPT, including better understanding user needs, integrating memory functions, and updating data sources. However, the actual effect resulted in the AI model becoming overly accommodating to users, not only being 'nice' in tone but also fostering user anger, endorsing incorrect viewpoints, and reinforcing anxiety and negative behavioral tendencies. OpenAI believes this tendency is not only concerning but could also pose risks to mental health and behavioral safety.

President Trump has imposed increased import tariffs on China, and Chinese authorities are responding by imposing higher tariffs on U.S. imports, blacklisting U.S. companies, and restricting U.S. access to rare earth elements, which are essential materials for manufacturing high-tech products.

Trump has recently seemed to express goodwill, stating that he will engage in dialogue with China in a friendly manner. China is ready to counter Trump’s earlier aggressive stance, preparing to retaliate against his sanctions in a show of reciprocity.

CNBC interviewed several officials and experts who suggested tariff sanctions and further retaliation that China could impose on the United States. CNBC spoke with Brad Setser, a researcher at the Council on Foreign Relations, who stated that China is the second-largest supplier of products to the U.S., and the importance of Chinese exports to the U.S. should not be underestimated. Before April of this year, the average tariff imposed by the U.S. on China was 20%. By the end of April, some products had already risen to 124%, leaving many traders unable to think of countermeasures due to the current situation.

Keelung City Civil Affairs Director Zhang Yuanxiang recently admitted to violating the Personal Data Protection Act and the Criminal Code for forgery of documents, and has resigned and his resignation has been approved. According to media reports, Zhang is suspected of abusing his power to enter the household registration system and illegally obtain people's personal information for the purpose of creating a petition to recall specific legislators. If this case is verified to be true, it is not just a general administrative negligence, but may involve deeper legal issues.

Forgery of documents is closely related to the crime of fraud

First of all, forging documents is not only a formal falsification, its essence is often highly intertwined with the crime of fraud. According to the statistical analysis of cases of "forgery of documents and seals" by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of China (from October 2017 to 2012), among the 58,249 criminal suspects, as many as 72.8% were also involved in other crimes, among which fraud was the most common, accounting for 38.7%. These data show that in practice, forged documents are often just part of a larger fraud structure.
