Former Georgian leader Bidzina Ivanishvili has accused his ex-financial advisor, George Bachiashvili, of stealing 24,000 Bitcoin, sparking a legal and political confrontation. Ivanishvili claims that Bachiashvili's actions deprived him of a significant Bitcoin mining opportunity a decade ago, which could have resulted in over 190,000 BTC, valued at more than $21 billion today. The dispute has escalated into legal proceedings and alleged political pressure against Bachiashvili. In related news, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a layer-2 project designed to enhance Bitcoin's functionality using Solana-based infrastructure, has successfully raised over $25 million in its presale.
