A Dutch court classifies Bitcoin as a transferable value after the court ruled in favour of a plaintiff who was owed 0.591 Bitcoins (BTC), according to a court document published March 20.  

The claim was filed in a Dutch court by Mr. J.W. de Vries on 2 February 2018 against Koinz Trading BV, a non-public company, which was previously ordered by a lower court of Midden-Nederland to pay mining proceeds in the amount of 0.591 BTC owed to the petitioner, or a penalty payment up to a 10,000 maximum.

As a consequence of the companys failure to comply with its obligations to pay the required volume in BTC, the court ordered that the company either pay up or be declared insolvent.

The court judgement explicitly states that Bitcoin demonstrates al…

Just one week after announcing it would bankroll The Pickers, Club Maitland City has announced its financial backing for the citys ailing leagues club.

The clubs administrators Shaw Gidley told Fairfax Media the bowling club has entered into a temporary funding agreement with the leagues club so it can continue to trade.

The news came 24-hours after a meeting of leagues club creditors was held.

Fairfax Media reported last week how Maitland Leagues Club had gone into voluntary administration owing some of its creditors hundreds of thousands of dollars. Following The Pickers sponsorship announcement there had been mounting speculation that Club Maitland City may extend an amalgamation offer to the leagues club.

NEW YORK — Toy company executive Isaac Larian says he and other investors have pledged a total of $200 million in financing and hope to raise four times that amount in crowdfunding in order to bid for up to 400 of the Toys R Us stores being liquidated in bankruptcy.

The unsolicited bid still faces many hurdles, including finding other deep-pocked investors and getting a bankruptcy judge to agree to it. But this is the first public plan to keep the cherished toy brand in existence in the United States.

The Commonwealth Bank continued to offer card limit increases to a young man deep in credit card debt after he told them he had a gambling problem.

The banking royal commission heard evidence from David Harris, who racked up over $35,000 in debt on CBA credit cards.

Mr Harris is one of more than 2,500 people to date to make a public submission to the royal commission.

He told the hearing he had never had a credit card before, but applied for one in late 2014 to fund dental work and a trip back home to England.

He was approved for a $10,000 credit card with the Commonwealth Bank.

He initially paid it off frequently but in the first half of 2015 he began gambling regularly, transferring cash from the credit card to his CBA transaction account…

The Commonwealth Bank offered to boost a customers credit card limit by thousands of dollars – adding to his existing debt of more than $27,000 – just days after he told the bank he had a  problem gambling habit.

And the bank has not yet put enough systems in place to prevent similar cases, a senior CBA executive admitted under questioning at the banking royal commission on Thursday.

David Harris, a 30-year-old roofer, started gambling with funds from his credit card in early 2015 and quickly reached his $10,000 limit, before he was given a second and then a third credit card from the CBA.

He kept using mo…

SINGAPORE — Listed commodity trader Noble Group, once an industry leader in Asia, is facing an uncertain future as its restructuring process comes under threat after it missed bond repayments.

On Thursday morning, Noble halted trading of its shares.

In a statement on the Singapore Exchange, the company said that it had defaulted on its debts. Noble, which made billions of losses in 2017, also said: “There is no certainty and assurance … that the proposed restructuring will be completed.”

The company also warned debt-holders and shareholders to “exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the group.”

A few days ago, Noble said it “has not and will not make payment” of the corporate bonds due in 2018 and 2022. S&P Glo…
