According to Odaily Planet Daily, Pudgy Penguins will be launching a multi-day brand advertising campaign at Sphere, a landmark venue in Las Vegas, during the Christmas week. The campaign, which runs from December 24th, includes multiple animated segments and has a total cost of approximately $500,000, within Sphere's standard advertising price range. The report notes that Sphere, a large venue renowned for its immersive LED displays, has historically seen only a handful of crypto-related brands advertising there. While a Bitcoin-themed display appeared in July, other examples are relatively rare. This campaign by Pudgy Penguins is seen as a significant step in strengthening its offline brand exposure and reaching a wider audience beyond the crypto community. Launched on Ethereum in 2021, Pudgy Penguins initially gained popularity with its 8,888 cartoon penguin NFT series. After a change in management, the project has expanded into physical toy retail and the browser-based social game Pudgy World. The project team states that its business is no longer limited to NFTs but is transforming into a broader consumer brand. (CoinDesk)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, a car arson and murder case related to cryptocurrency occurred in Vienna, Austria, at the end of November this year. Local police disclosed that two suspects were recently arrested in Ukraine. The victim was Danila Kuzmin, the 21-year-old son of Sergei Kuzmin, the deputy mayor of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Police investigations show that the suspects' motive was to obtain the victim's cryptocurrency wallet password. While studying in Vienna, Danila had revealed his father's identity and information about his family's cryptocurrency assets to one of the suspects. Subsequently, Danila was attacked in the underground parking lot of the Sofitel Hotel in Vienna, forcibly taken away, and held captive in the car for several hours, during which he was continuously beaten and tortured until he handed over the passwords to two cryptocurrency wallets. Vienna police confirmed that large sums of money were subsequently transferred from Danila's cryptocurrency wallets. After emptying his cryptocurrency assets, the suspects abandoned Danila in the back seat of the car and set it on fire. The burned Mercedes-Benz had Ukrainian license plates and was registered under the name of his family. The two suspects were subsequently identified as 45-year-old Oleksiy Agoyev, a former Ukrainian customs official, and 19-year-old Bogdan Reynzhuk, the stepson of Oleksiy Irazhuk, the Ukrainian ambassador to Bulgaria. Police seized a large amount of US dollars in cash from the suspects during the arrest; Agoyev was carrying nearly $90,000. The case is still under further investigation.
