Argentinian crypto scam suspect arrested in Venezuela after fleeing with $56 million worth of bitcoin
According to Odaily, Venezuelan police have arrested Rosa María González, a suspect in the Generación Zoe fraud case, in San Cristóbal. The scam resulted in investor losses of at least $120 million. Leonardo Cositorto, the head of Generación Zoe, previously stated that Rosa María González fled with 611 bitcoins after the project's collapse in mid-2022, which were worth approximately $56 million at the time. Investigations revealed that Generación Zoe attracted investors by promising returns of up to 7.5%, but it was actually a Ponzi scheme. Rosa María González had claimed that the trading algorithm she developed had quantum security features and could deliver monthly returns of up to 70%. During her time on the run in Venezuela, she was suspected of orchestrating new fraudulent projects, promising a minimum investment of $1,000 and a monthly return of 5%. Currently, diplomatic relations between Argentina and Venezuela are tense, making the extradition process difficult.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
