SEBI bans Bollywood star Arshad Warsi, wife, 57 others from securities markets for up to 5 years
Markets regulator the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday barred Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi, his wife Maria Goretti, and 57 others from the securities markets for periods ranging from 1-5 years. The regulator imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh each on Warsi and his wife, Maria. The decision came in a case related to misleading videos on YouTube channels recommending investors to buy shares of Sadhana Broadcast. SEBI found that Arshad Warsi had made a profit of Rs41.70 lakh and his wife earned a profit of Rs50.35 lakh. "It is noted that Arshad Hussain Warsi in his statement recorded before SEBI on June 27, 2023, stated that apart from placing trades in his own account, he was also trading from the accounts of his wife (Noticee 61) and brother (Noticee 62). It is further noted from the submissions of Noticee 60 that Aahuti Mistry acted as the manager of Arshad Warsi,' according to the SEBI order. SEBI also levied penalties in the range of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 5 crore on 57 other entities, including promoters of Sadhana Broadcast (now Crystal Business System Ltd). Apart from the debarment, SEBI also directed these entities to disgorge total unlawful gains of Rs 58.01 crore along with 12% interest per annum from the end of the investigation period till the date of actual payment. The capital markets regulator said the masterminds behind this whole operation were Gaurav Gupta, Rakesh Kumar Gupta and Manish Mishra. Subhash Aggarwal, who also happened to be a director of the RTA of Sadhana Broadcast Ltd, acted as the go-between Manish Mishra and the promoters, the order stated. SEBI received complaints, alleging that there was price manipulation and subsequent offloading of shares in the scrip of SBL. It was also stated in the complaints that YouTube videos were being uploaded with false content to lure investors and a paid marketing campaign worth crores was undertaken to make the videos reach a wider audience. The complainant also provided links to YouTube videos, names of YouTube channels and dates when the videos were uploaded. SEBI examined the complaints and prima facie found that net sellers in the shares of SBL were connected to the creator of YouTube channels, wherein videos with false content and unrealistic target price for the scrip were uploaded with the intention to influence and induce public investors to invest in the scrip. "Search and seizure operations were conducted at the premises of 15 Noticees wherein various documentary and electronic evidences were gathered and statements of various Noticees were recorded on oath," according to the markets regulator.

US Coinbase hack sparks concerns among UAE crypto investors
Thursday's hack of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, has sparked fresh concerns among UAE crypto investors, highlighting vulnerabilities in centralised exchanges. In a major cybersecurity breach disclosed on May 15, hackers gained access to Coinbase's internal systems by bribing outsourced customer support agents. This insider manipulation allowed unauthorised access to administrative tools, compromising the personal data of nearly one million users, about one percent of its global customer base, media reports said. The exposed data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, masked banking details, and government-issued ID images. Coinbase assured that passwords, private keys, and funds were not directly compromised. The attackers demanded a $20 million ransom to avoid leaking the stolen data, but Coinbase refused and alerted law enforcement. The company has since terminated the implicated employees and is cooperating with authorities. To mitigate user impact, Coinbase has pledged to reimburse customers tricked into transferring funds, with total remediation costs estimated between $180 million and $400 million. A wake-up call Cybersecurity expert and managing director of Rayad Group, Rayad Kamal Ayub, called the breach a wake-up call for crypto investors in the UAE. 'The MENA region, particularly the UAE, has seen massive growth in cryptocurrency adoption,' he said. 'According to a report by Chainalysis, the region accounted for 7.5 per cent of the world's total crypto transaction volume between July 2023 and June 2024, with an estimated $338.7 billion in on-chain value received. This means many users here are potentially at risk if exchanges do not bolster their internal security measures.' Ayub also pointed out growing concerns about bad actors in the region exploiting vulnerable investors. Cybersecurity consultant and blockchain analyst Dr Zohaib Zaheer, who worked on a project related to Coinbase, said the breach underscores the dangers of insider threats, particularly when third-party vendors are involved. 'Even major exchanges like Coinbase aren't immune,' he said. 'For UAE investors, it's a reminder: don't rely solely on platform security. Use hardware wallets, enable 2FA, and stay alert to scams. Stronger internal controls and tighter oversight are no longer optional but essential.' Investor confidence rattled Ijaz Awan, who runs a Youtube channel dedicated to crypto investing and trading, echoed the sentiment, noting that the breach has rattled investor confidence in the region. 'Coming just months after Bybit's $1.5 billion hack, the Coinbase breach is another major blow to user confidence. It's deeply worrying for the average user; many now feel their funds aren't safe anywhere. If crypto is to grow as an asset class, exchanges must implement much stronger internal controls and security protocols,' he said. Experts said the incident has reignited calls for enhanced regulations and improved security infrastructure in the UAE's burgeoning crypto sector. Obaidullah Kazmi, founder & CTO at Credo Technology Services, reiterated: 'This breach underscores a hard truth – technology is only as secure as the people and processes behind it. While Coinbase's core systems remained uncompromised, the exploitation of outsourced support staff highlights the growing risk of insider threats and third-party exposure." In a rapidly maturing market like the UAE, trust is everything. Exchanges must rethink their security models — moving beyond perimeter defences to adopt Zero Trust architectures, identity-centric controls, and continuous monitoring. Regulations will help, but proactive resilience starts from within," Kazmi underscored. Mohammad AlKaff AlHashmi, founder of Haqq Chain, stressed the need for stronger internal safeguards. 'KYC is crucial for compliance, but it also makes us custodians of sensitive data in an industry built on privacy. Compliance needs to come with security standards that treat identity like digital assets,' he said. 'It's about who you hire, how they're trained, and what they can access.'

KCA suspends former India fast bowler S Sreesanth for 3 years over defamatory remarks linked to Sanju Samson row
The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has suspended former India fast bowler S Sreesanth for three years for allegedly making false and defamatory statements against the body. The disciplinary action follows Sreesanth's controversial remarks in connection with Sanju Samson's omission from the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, held in three Pakistan cities and Dubai earlier this year. The decision was unanimously approved during a special General Body meeting held in Kochi on April 30, PTI reported. In its official statement, the KCA said the suspension was in response to "misleading and derogatory comments" made by Sreesanth during a Malayalam television panel discussion. Sreesanth, a two-time World Cup winner with India, had linked the KCA to Samson's exclusion and criticised the association's role, pledging support to the Kerala wicketkeeper-batter and other state players. The KCA had earlier issued show-cause notices to Sreesanth and three Kerala Cricket League (KCL) franchise teams — Kollam Aeries (co-owned by Sreesanth), Alappuzha Team Lead, and Alappuzha Ripples. While the franchises provided satisfactory responses and were spared further action, the General Body urged stricter scrutiny while appointing team management personnel in the future. Action against Samson's father Additionally, the KCA announced plans to file a compensation claim against Samson's father, Samson Vishwanath, and two others for allegedly making baseless allegations using the cricketer's name. Clarifying its position, the KCA emphasised that Sreesanth was not penalised for backing Samson, but for making unfounded public accusations that harmed the association's reputation. The controversy gained traction after Samson was left out of the Kerala squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy — an omission many believe affected his national team prospects.
