United 00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:58.310 States Attorney Joseph Novesela stated that Caroni 00:06:58.310 --> 00:07:01.370 deceived investors, including military veterans, 00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:05.910 to fund his lavish lifestyle. Caroni misappropriated 00:07:05.910 --> 00:07:09.069 funds meant for liquidity pools, acquiring over 00:07:09.069 --> 00:07:13.769 $9 million in crypto assets.

A botched prize giveaway at Bithum, 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.660 a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, has sparked 00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:42.240 controversy. Instead of distributing 620 ,000 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.620 Korean won, an employee mistakenly issued 620 00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:50.620 ,000 bitcoins. The error caused a winner to momentarily 00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:56.339 hold more than $120 million in bitcoins. Bithumb 00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:59.360 halted transactions after 30 minutes, as the 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.920 market sank by 17%. Lawmakers are now calling 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.180 for stricter regulations, while Bithumb has proposed 00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:12.360 a customer protection fund of $70 million.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:25.000 science. A study has revealed that Pompeii's 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.299 oldest baths show how dirty Roman hygiene could 00:09:28.299 --> 00:09:32.059 be. Mineral crusts preserved in these baths recorded 00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:35.450 contaminated metal -laced water alongside chemical 00:09:35.450 --> 00:09:39.710 cycles linked to volcanic activity. Geoscientist 00:09:39.710 --> 00:09:43.669 Dr. Gul Sermalihindi documented that early bathwater 00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:46.490 came from mineral -rich wells that accumulated 00:09:46.490 --> 00:09:49.750 contaminants over time. The findings challenge 00:09:49.750 --> 00:09:53.629 the stereotype of clean Rome, showing that stagnant 00:09:53.629 --> 00:09:56.730 water conditions did not meet ideal hygienic 00:09:56.730 --> 00:10:00.330 standards. This study published in the Proceedings 00:10:00.330 --> 00:10:03.480 of the National Academy of Sciences, emphasizes 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.039 the importance of understanding ancient water 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:13.100 systems. In entertainment news, Britney Spears 00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:16.159 has sold the rights to her extensive music catalog, 00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:19.679 which includes hits like Baby One More Time and 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.700 Toxic. The pop superstar sold her stake to Primary 00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:26.759 Wave, the same publisher that owns the catalogs 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.960 of legends like Prince and Whitney Houston. While 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.860 the exact amount Spears received is not confirmed, 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.779 it is believed to be around $200 million. This 00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:41.399 trend of artists selling music rights is becoming 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.899 common, with recent sales by other stars as well. 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.799 Spears has not released a full album since Glory 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.740 in 2016, but her influence remains significant 00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:57.320 in the industry. Well, alrighty folks, it's time 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.299 for the quote of the day. And today, our quote 00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:03.980 comes from the American science fiction writer 00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:16.620 Isaac Asimov. And he said, And that's a wrap 00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:19.799 for this morning.
