Iran reviewing new U.S. proposal relayed through Qatar, Iranian media says

Iran is reviewing a new U.S. proposal delivered through Qatar, according to Iranian media cited by BlockBeats on Oct. 3. The proposal lays out a roadmap and timetable for final negotiations and is based on the Islamabad framework, while seeking to move nuclear talks forward at an earlier stage. Iranian media said Tehran is still insisting that Washington must act first by meeting its commitments, including sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds. Iran’s seven main conditions have not changed, the report said. Separately, talks between Iran and Oman on a new shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz have also made progress. The report did not provide additional details beyond those points.

Beijing police intercept cross-border telecom fraud case, freeze 780,000 yuan

Police in Beijing’s Shijingshan district recently intercepted a new type of cross-border telecom fraud case, freezing 780,000 yuan in funds tied to the scheme and returning the money to the victim, according to ChainCatcher. The case involved a 53-year-old man surnamed Liu, who was staying overseas while accompanying a student, when he received a scam call from abroad. The caller posed as Chinese police and fabricated accusations including money laundering, pressuring him to urgently ask family members in China to send money. Investigators said the funds were later transferred into the accounts of two other Chinese students overseas. Police found that all three were victims of the same fraud ring, in a pattern described as "one case, multiple victims," where victims were turned into money-laundering tools for one another. In some instances, scammers first moved funds into victims’ accounts and then coerced them into converting the money into U coins to help transfer it onward. Police said patient persuasion helped "wake up" the victim and prevented larger losses.

Crypto.com Allegedly Locks User Account and Freezes Funds, Then Says the Account Does Not Exist

Techub News, citing BeInCrypto, said Crypto.com allegedly locked a user’s account and froze the funds without explanation. Bradley Peak received a successful login email on Aug. 13, but could not access the account and saw a 401 Unauthorized error. Customer support first denied the account existed, then said the account was “rejected,” without defining the status or explaining why the funds were frozen. More than eight days later, the issue remained unresolved, and the funds had not yet been moved back to an external wallet address requested by the platform. BeInCrypto said it sent Crypto.com 12 questions and received only a vague compliance statement.

ZachXBT says he has no plan to track Coldcard incident, cites repeated unpaid bounty work

On-chain investigator ZachXBT said he currently has no plans to monitor or investigate the Coldcard incident, adding that he is focusing instead on ecosystem projects that value his work. In the same statement, he described several past cases in which he helped trace stolen funds but did not receive the compensation that had been promised. One example involved crypto KOL Roshi, who ZachXBT said lost $600,000 to a scam in June 2026. ZachXBT said he spent more than five hours tracing the movement of funds and helped freeze $96,000. He said the other party had initially claimed they could pay any fee, but later refused to file a police report in Denmark, citing unpaid taxes. After ZachXBT requested a $5,000 fee, the person reportedly disappeared for several weeks. He also said that in another case, a project had offered a $25,000 bounty, but the payment was still outstanding nine months after the investigation had been completed.
