Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is striking&nbsp;significant gains&nbsp;late Thursday after Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk expressed his latest support for the meme cryptocurrency and took a dig at apex cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment/">Bitcoin</a> (CRYPTO: BTC).
What Happened: Musk responded in affirmative to a call from&nbsp;Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus for&nbsp;the Dogecoin community to keep the Shiba Inu-themed coin &ldquo;fun and absurd.&rdquo;

Why It Matters: Musk has been a major catalyst for Dogecoin&rsquo;s rise to prominence this year.

Dogecoin Strikes Major Gains As Elon Musk Gives A Shout Out To Meme Coin And Takes Digs At Bitcoin

Starbucks Corp&rsquo;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbux#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) is not running out of supplies in cups and coffee, the coffee chain&rsquo;s CEO&nbsp;Kevin Johnson <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/24/starbucks-ceo-denies-rumors-of-shortages-in-cups-and-coffee.html">told CNBC</a> on Thursday.&nbsp;
What Happened: Johnson told CNBC the coffee chain was facing operational challenges elsewhere, in bakery case, but dismissed a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/starbucks-runs-short-on-cups-and-syrup-as-covid-19-eases-11623287198">report</a> that the Seattle, Washington-based company was facing a shortage of cups and coffee syrups.&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/amp/content/20513775" style="text-decoration:none">Starbucks Is Seeing More Demand For Oat Milk Than It Can Meet</a>
There is &ldquo;no shortage of cups, no shortage of coffee,&rdquo; Johnson told CNBC&rsquo;s Mad Money anchor Jim Cramer.
The WSJ report claimed the coffee chain was struggling to spring back up to full operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Starbucks has temporarily removed beverages based on&nbsp;Oatly Group AB&#39;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otly#NASDAQ">OTLY</a>) oat milk&nbsp;from its app until it restocks inventory, as per the WSJ report that cited the company spokeswoman who added shortages of some items are temporary and vary by store and market.&nbsp;
Starbucks has been going back to limited seating at its U.S. cafes as the economy reopens after being hit by the pandemic. As per the WSJ report, hiring enough workers for cafes has been an issue for Starbucks in some parts of the country.
Price Action: Starbucks shares closed 0.39% higher at $111.99 on Thursday.&nbsp;

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will begin opening up its Supercharger network to rival electric automakers starting September 2022, as per an Electrek&nbsp;<a href="https://electrek.co/2021/06/24/tesla-confirms-plan-open-supercharger-network-other-automakers-next-year/" style="text-decoration:none">report</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: As per the report, the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle company had recently been in contact with officials in Norway to secure incentives for setting up charging stations. Norway, however, awards incentives only to charging stations that are open to all automakers.&nbsp;
Tesla has applied for benefits to expand five fast-charging stations, agreed to meet the conditions for open use and for the first time set a timeline as to when it plans to open the network for all, as per Electrek.
The Palo Alto, California-based company&rsquo;s vast charging network is so far exclusive to Tesla owners. The company has however in the past indicated that it is open to the idea of sharing the Supercharger network with other automakers.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/05/21027737/tesla-installs-25-000th-supercharger-expands-reach-to-mount-everest-base-camp" style="text-decoration:none">Tesla Installs 25,000th Supercharger, Expands Reach To Mount Everest Base Camp</a>
Why It Matters: Tesla has been rapidly scaling up its charging infrastructure amid rising competition from rivals and has quickly deployed more than 25,000 chargers at over 2,700 stations around the world.&nbsp;
So far, other electric vehicles can turn to third-party networks such as Ionity, Electrify America or ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chpt#NYSE">CHPT</a>) to charge their EVs.&nbsp;
At the same time, rivals such as Nio Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nio#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Xpeng Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xpev#NYSE">XPEV</a>) have developed their own charging networks and have already scaled up presence in China, a key market for Tesla&rsquo;s growth, even as they eye expansion in Europe and the United States.
Price Action: Tesla shares closed 3.54% higher at $679.82 on Thursday.

Tesla Tells Norwegian Authorities Will Open Supercharger Network To All Automakers Next Year

Roc-A-Fella Records (RAF), co-founded by American rapper Jay-Z and music producer Damon Dash, is now suing the latter for attempting to sell Jay-Z&rsquo;s debut album as an NFT.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to a <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jay-z-roc-a-fella-records-dame-dash-reasonable-doubt-nft-lawsuit-1186875/amp/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">report</a> from Rolling Stone, Dash planned to sell an NFT of the copyright to the album Reasonable Doubt at an auction on the SuperFarm platform from June 23 to June 25.
However, the planned auction was intercepted by Roc-A-Fella, which sent letters to SuperFarm and Dash alleging the sale was &ldquo;improper&rdquo; and calling for the auction to be canceled.
SuperFarm said it had canceled the sale, but Dash is still reportedly &ldquo;in the process of finding another venue to consummate this improper transaction,&rdquo; according to the record label.
Why It Matters: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not a matter of if, only when. But Dash does not even own Reasonable Doubt or its copyright and, therefore, has no right to sell the album or any rights to it. Instead, RAF, Inc. owns all rights to Reasonable Doubt. The sale of this irreplaceable asset must be stopped before it is too late, and Dash must be held accountable for his theft,&rdquo; alleges the <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59998799/1/roc-a-fella-records-inc-v-dash/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">complaint</a> filed by RAF.
Dash claims he wasn&rsquo;t trying to sell an NFT of&nbsp;Reasonable Doubt,&nbsp;but rather his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records after the label supposedly tried to purchase it at a low price.
The lawsuit details an announcement from SuperFarm, which states that the future owner of the Reasonable Doubt NFT would be entitled to all future revenue generated by the album.
&ldquo;This marks a new milestone in the history of NFT&rsquo;s, entitling the new owner to future revenue generated by the unique asset&hellip; Selling the copyright to Jay-Z&rsquo;s&nbsp;Reasonable Doubt&nbsp;as an NFT is a groundbreaking landmark &mdash; both for the crypto space and the broader music industry.&rdquo;
Dash, however, claimed there hadn&rsquo;t been an announcement at all when asked about the SuperFarm auction details.
&ldquo;So there&rsquo;s been no announcement, it&rsquo;s not minted, none of that. No auction was shut down, you never heard of an announcement,&rdquo; said Dash to Rolling Stone.
&ldquo;You know this game. They did it on a Friday so it could just run the whole weekend to devalue my auction.&rdquo;

Jay-Z's Record Label Sues Co-Founder For Trying To Sell First Album As NFT

Cryptocurrency staking platform StakeHound has filed a lawsuit against crypto custodian Fireblocks, alleging that the latter was responsible for losing $75 million worth of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).
What Happened: According to documents obtained by <a href="https://www.calcalistech.com/ctech/articles/0,7340,L-3910671,00.html" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">Calcalist</a>, the suit filed at the Tel Aviv District Court claims that a Fireblocks employee did not back up the private keys to a digital wallet, which was later deleted, resulting in the assets being lost.
&quot;This is a human error committed by an employee of the defendants, who worked in an unsuitable work environment, did not protect or back up the defendant&rsquo;s private keys needed to open the relevant digital wallet, and for no apparent reason, the keys were deleted, preventing the plaintiff&rsquo;s digital assets from being accessed,&rdquo; stated the complaint.
Fireblocks went on record to deny any negligence on its part, saying that there were &ldquo;factual issues&rdquo; with StakeHound&rsquo;s lawsuit.
&ldquo;I assume this is as a result of them being stressed and basically trying to throw the blame on someone who has a bigger balance sheet,&rdquo; said Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilymason/2021/06/23/fireblocks-ceo-denies-negligence-in-75-million-ether-loss/?sh=104a7f0c2c37" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">Forbes</a>.
StakeHound claims that &quot;this is not a simple situation where the private keys were simply lost, rather, the defendants did not transfer the relevant private keys to Coincover as required and agreed upon.&rdquo;

However, Shaulov said that StakeHound never told Fireblocks to send their half of the BLS (Boneh&ndash;Lynn&ndash;​Shacham) key to Coincover or utilized a built-in tool to verify that backup was successful.
Earlier this year, Fireblocks raised $133 million in Series C funding, with strategic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20232726/bny-mellon-invests-in-cryptocurrency-custodian-fireblocks" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">investment</a> from Bank of New York Mellon&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">BK</a>).
The company is one of the largest crypto custody providers for several institutions, including&nbsp;Facebook, Inc (NASDAQ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FB#NASDAQ" style="box-sizing:inherit; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#ffffff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; line-height:inherit; cursor:pointer; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; widows:2; -webkit-text-stroke-width:0px; word-spacing:0px; color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">FB</a>), which is expected to launch its cryptocurrency Diem later this year.

StakeHound Sues Crypto Custodian Fireblocks For 'Losing $70M ETH,' Report Says

U.S. Infrastructure development is front and center in the national conversation. After many years of stagnation, the United States seems to be moving toward meaningful infrastructure spending. On March 31st, the Biden Administration announced <a href="https://www.globalxetfs.com/what-president-bidens-2t-american-jobs-plan-could-mean-for-u-s-infrastructure/">the American Jobs Plan</a>. The plan seeks to revitalize the country&rsquo;s backbone through sweeping federal spending across major infrastructure areas. These include components of physical infrastructure like roads and bridges, ports and waterways, buildings, and public transit; as well as next-gen areas like clean energy and related CleanTech, modernized water utilities, and digital infrastructure.&nbsp;
The Jobs Plan is currently the subject of spirited debate in Washington as members of both parties negotiate the specifics of what would be drafted into law. While it is uncertain how closely any legislation might mirror the Jobs Plan, we expect a significant public spending bill to pass in 2021, funneling billions of dollars to U.S. infrastructure-exposed companies. This includes companies involved in construction and engineering services, products and equipment, raw materials and composites, as well as industrial transportation.

HUBBELL: MANUFACTURING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS FOR AN ELECTRIFIED FUTURE
Hubbell is a products and equipment company that manufactures electrical products used across diverse end-markets and settings. Hubbell&rsquo;s products could play a role in several areas U.S. infrastructure development areas, including:
<ul>
<li>Buildings: Produces equipment and components used in electrified buildings and structures across most sectors, from residential to commercial and industrial. These include products related to electrical transmission, permanent/temporary lighting, and improving energy efficiency, as well as those used in building construction and engineering projects.</li>
<li>Clean Energy &amp; CleanTech: Manufactures products used in renewable energy projects. This includes components used in renewable electricity generation and transmission, as well as in construction and installation of renewable energy sources. Hubbell also manufactures electrical products used in utility-level power distribution including smart grid components.</li>
<li>Digital Infrastructure: Offers equipment and components used in data centers and telecommunications infrastructure. These products include cables, connectors, and devices used in data transmission and electrical transmission, as well as equipment like server racks, wall mounts, and cable management systems.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Products and equipment companies like Hubbell could benefit from broad investment in U.S. infrastructure. The Jobs Plan features over $300B+ of spending related to clean energy and CleanTech. Hubbell&rsquo;s electrical product offering would position them to benefit from such spending. Though this portion of the Plan is a subject of great debate in Washington, less contested and similarly massive spending on buildings and digital infrastructure could also translate to revenues for Hubbell. In our view, Hubbell&rsquo;s 92% revenue exposure to the U.S. and close relationship with construction engineering companies like Quanta Services adds credence to their ability to capture infrastructure revenues.

INSTEEL: ENABLING RESILIENCE THROUGH RAW MATERIALS &amp; COMPOSITES
Insteel is a raw materials and composites company that manufactures reinforcing steel wiring. Insteel products are employed across various concrete construction applications, including projects related to:
Transportation &amp; Buildings: Manufactures steel welded wire reinforcement (WWR) products that improve the structural integrity of concrete. One of these products, standard welded wire reinforcement, prevents concrete from cracking, an essential feature of resilient buildings and&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>bridges. Engineered structural mesh, another WWR product, distributes weight evenly throughout concrete, fortifying weight-bearing infrastructure like tunnels and bridges. Insteel also sells drawn steel wire with a multitude of applications including use in railroads.</li>
<li>Water Utilities: Offers concrete pipe reinforcement as a part of its WWR offering. This steel wiring reinforces concrete piping used for wastewater collection and management, as well as in irrigation projects.</li>
</ul>
Raw materials and composites companies like Insteel provide the critical ingredients that form physical infrastructure assets. Buildings, transportation, and water utilities are likely to feature welded wire reinforcement and other steel wire reinforcement products, as is standard. A new emphasis on longevity and resilience could drive further usage of these products as infrastructure is built or retrofitted to withstand extreme weather events and the test of time. Insteel could be particularly well-positioned to benefit from this spending, considering its 99.5% revenue exposure to the U.S.&nbsp;
UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION: DELIVERING INFRASTRUCTURE BY RAIL &amp; ROAD
Union Pacific is an industrial transportation company that operates the largest railroad network in the United States, spanning more than 50K miles across 23 states. They serve clients across most sectors, shipping construction products, industrial chemicals, raw materials and composites, energy, and food across the western U.S. Like many industrial transportation companies, Union Pacific&rsquo;s services go beyond the reach of their railroads and include door-to-door and last mile delivery.&nbsp;
In our view, industrial transportation companies like Union Pacific are essential enablers of U.S. infrastructure development. They are the companies that bring the raw materials and composites and the products and equipment that make up infrastructure to construction sites. Infrastructure development often involves building new infrastructure in previously hard to reach places &ndash; this is a challenge for those initially building this infrastructure. Door-to-door industrial transportation services help solve these logistical challenges and improve the efficiency of construction and engineering companies.
CONCLUSION
Broad U.S. infrastructure development legislation appears to be on the horizon and smaller, modular legislative efforts are already underway. In April, the Senate passed the bipartisan Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021, which would invest $35B in water infrastructure if passed into law. And as a part of recent COVID relief legislation, Congress approved $7B of spending on digital
infrastructure and $31B of spending on transportation systems., We expect this spending to translate to greater and additional revenue streams for companies across the U.S. infrastructure development value chain.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Investments in infrastructure-related companies have greater exposure to the potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting such entities. Investment in infrastructure-related companies are subject to various risks including governmental regulations, high interest costs associated with capital construction programs, costs associated with compliance and changes in environmental regulation, economic slowdown and excess capacity, competition from other providers of services and other factors.

Ameer and Raees Cajee, founders of South African crypto exchange Africrypt, have&nbsp;reportedly disappeared with 69,000 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) $3.6 billion worth of client funds.
In doing so, twenty-year-old Ameer Cajee and his seventeen-year-old brother Raees Cajee may have pulled off the biggest exit scam in history.
What Happened: According to a report from <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-23/s-african-brothers-vanish-and-so-does-3-6-billion-in-bitcoin" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">Bloomberg</a>, the scam dates back to mid-April, when AfriCrypt&rsquo;s investors were notified in an email that the platform was shutting down and freezing all accounts following a hack that compromised client accounts, wallets, and nodes.
The founders also advised the investors against reporting the hack to law enforcement, claiming it would &ldquo;slow down the recovery process.&rdquo;
&ldquo;We were immediately suspicious as the announcement implored investors not to take legal action,&rdquo; said South African law firm Hanekom Attorneys.
&ldquo;Africrypt employees lost access to the back-end platforms seven days before the alleged hack.&rdquo;
What Else: An investigation revealed that the Cajee brothers had pooled together the investor funds from an account at Johannesburg-based First National Bank (FNB) before disappearing.
The pooled funds are also virtually untraceable&nbsp;after having gone through several coin mixers.
South Africa&rsquo;s Finance Sector Conduct Authority currently can&#39;t investigate Africrypt given that crypto assets are &ldquo;not legally considered financial products,&rdquo;&nbsp;but the case is being handled by an elite unit of the national police force.
Price Action: At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $34,753,&nbsp;up 4.17% in the past 24-hours.
The leading cryptocurrency had a daily trading volume of $32 billion, according to data from <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">CoinMarketCap</a>.

Two South African Brothers Disappear With $3.6B Worth Of Bitcoin In Biggest Scam To Date

Metromile Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mile#NASDAQ">MILE</a>), an insurance-focused fintech powered by data science and machine learning, had its cloud-based technology platform, Metromile Enterprise, integrated by leading direct mail platform Lob.
About: Founded in 2011, Metromile caters to non-traditional car owners, such as those that use transportation services like Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyft#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>).
Using big data and intelligent systems, the company tailors its rates to driver behavior, resulting in lower premiums.
What Happened: Licensing is also a big part of Metromile&rsquo;s business.
Metromile STREAMLINE &ndash; a core fraud, underwriting, and AI technology &ndash; integrated by Lob, who automates direct mail for more than 8,500 businesses, allowing leading insurance companies to send trusted offline communications with the speed and flexibility of digital engagements.
With STREAMLINE, Lob will tap into Metromile&rsquo;s Enterprise&rsquo;s no-code claims automation, allowing end property and casualty insurers to process claims and payouts quicker, at less cost.
&ldquo;Consumers look to insurance companies to help make them whole again after a claim as quickly as possible. Metromile STREAMLINE gives insurance carriers a tool to eliminate the hassle and error-prone processes and make claims payments faster, improving customer, claimant and employee satisfaction,&rdquo; said Amrish Singh, Metromile Enterprise general manager.
Why It Matters: Property and casualty insurers mail more than 75% of insurance claims payments, which means claimants, in some cases, wait weeks to access funds.
Together, Metromile Enterprise and Lob will help insurance carriers eliminate touchpoints, as well as reduce costs to print and mail checks, and issue payments sooner.
&ldquo;Consumer expectations have forced changes in every industry, including insurance, where digital transformation is accelerating, particularly post-pandemic,&rdquo; said Divya Chittor, VP of product at Lob. &ldquo;Automating these processes has made a significant impact on our customers. Lob is focused on enhancing the customer experience, and our partnership with Metromile Enterprise does just that - by streamlining paper payments, it provides a safe, secure, and timely return on investment for the customer.&rdquo;

Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adc#NYSE">ADC</a>) announced the release of a <a href="https://agreerealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Agree_Whitepaper_MicroFulfillmentComparison_f.pdf">study</a> on macro- versus micro-fulfillment in the grocery space.
What Happened: Agree Realty is a self-administered and managed real estate investment trust based out of Farmington Hills, Michigan.
As part of a vision to unpack how retailers are boldly innovating to improve service, experience and profitability through fulfillment strategies, Agree Realty commissioned the release of a new whitepaper.
Retailers are looking to rapidly cut down on fulfillment costs and improve profitability, according to Agree. This comes as grocery e-commerce sales are becoming more dominant; by 2025, online market share will be as high as 20%, up from 4% pre-COVID-19, across the U.S. and Canada.
Also highlighted are developments like Kroger Co&rsquo;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kr#NYSE">KR</a>) partnership with Ocado Group (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ocddy#OTC">OCDDY</a>) over the construction of Centralized Fulfillment Centers, or CFCs, in addition to the implications of growth in micro-fulfillment and Walmart Inc&rsquo;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmt#NYSE">WMT</a>) part in that.
Why It Matters: Agree Realty is focused on ownership, development, acquisition&nbsp;and management of retail properties net leased to national tenants.
In releasing this study, Agree Realty improves transparency on fulfillment issues for market participants.
Takeaway: &ldquo;While e-commerce grocery offerings ramp, retailers will continue to refine their model relative to the nexus of profitability and consumer demand,&rdquo; Agree Realty strategists say.

Understanding The Importance Of Macro- And Micro-Fulfillment In Retail

A new article from the nonprofit news site ProPublica&nbsp;claims&nbsp;Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and one of the early investors in Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fb#NASDAQ">FB</a>),&nbsp;accumulated $5 billion by 2019 in a tax-free <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-roth-ira-accounts/">Roth individual retirement account</a> (IRA) that he opened 20 years earlier with $1,700.
The Story: ProPublica&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/lord-of-the-roths-how-tech-mogul-peter-thiel-turned-a-retirement-account-for-the-middle-class-into-a-5-billion-dollar-tax-free-piggy-bank">article</a>, titled &ldquo;Lord of the Roths: How Tech Mogul Peter Thiel Turned a Retirement Account for the Middle Class Into a $5 Billion Tax-Free Piggy Bank,&rdquo; highlighted how Thiel deposited 1.7 million in one-tenth-of-one-cent shares of the then-private PayPal Holdings Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pypl#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) into his Roth IRA in 1999. Within a year, Thiel&rsquo;s Roth saw its value expand to $3.8 million, and he later used some of the funds from this account to finance his tech industry investments.
At no point in the story did ProPublica identify Thiel as violating U.S. tax codes or any federal laws, although it liberally used phrases like &ldquo;risked running afoul of rules&rdquo; and &ldquo;a Bermuda-style tax haven right here in the U.S.&rdquo; to describe the investor and his vehicle.
The article noted Thiel was audited on his taxes in 2011, but nothing amiss was found, and it also made four different references to Thiel&#39;s application for residency in New Zealand, although that had nothing to do with his Roth IRA.
ProPublica noted that PayPal&rsquo;s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing prior to its initial public offering showed Thiel&rsquo;s founders&rsquo; shares were among those sold at &ldquo;below fair value.&rdquo; Although the regulator didn&#39;t raise a red flag at the time, ProPublica found belated outrage from Victor Fleischer, a tax law professor at the University of California, Irvine.
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s a huge scandal,&rdquo; Fleischer said. &ldquo;How greedy can you get?&rdquo;
Related Link: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21670121/where-is-americas-mosquito-capital">Where Is America&#39;s Mosquito Capital?</a>
The Story Behind The Story: Much of the data presented by ProPublica is sourced from Thiel&rsquo;s federal income taxes, which are supposed to be confidential records that are not in the public domain.
Earlier this month, ProPublica <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/06/21473485/report-cites-confidential-irs-data-to-reveal-tax-histories-of-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-other-billionaire">stated</a>&nbsp;it &quot;obtained a vast trove of Internal Revenue Service data on the tax returns of thousands of the nation&#39;s wealthiest people, covering more than 15 years.&quot; How the nonprofit gained this data is unclear, since ProPublica acknowledged this data is confidential. The Internal Revenue Service is investigating the source of leak.
But while ProPublica didn&#39;t find anything illegal to pin on Thiel, Justin Elliott, one of the reporters who authored the coverage, told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiKwKIABwX4">CNBC</a>&nbsp;it nonetheless seemed unfair. While acknowledging Thiel &ldquo;couldn&rsquo;t know it was going to be worth tens of millions&rdquo; when he opened the Roth IRA in 1999, Elliott was unsatisfied with how Thiel used the vehicle.
&ldquo;The larger policy issue here is that when Congress created Roth IRAs in the late 90s, it was really intended to be a sort of modest incentive for middle-class Americans to save for retirement,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The question now is: Is there really any policy justification for ultra-wealthy people like Peter Thiel having literally billions of dollars in a tax-free account &ndash; why should he get that advantage versus another investor? Clearly that is more than enough to retire on.&rdquo;

Madsen is adjacent to Pacton&#39;s property, and the survey will include 13 km of seismic line data over Pacton&#39;s claims. The resulting data will further define structural controls on the Red Lake Property, which are proximal to the Madsen project. Of note, the seismic lines on Pacton&#39;s project closely overlap several high priority exploration areas identified using AI technology, and the data will enhance the targeting in those regions. Permits have been received for the survey, and crews will mobilize in August.Survey Highlights<ul><li>13 km of seismic line data over Pacton&#39;s Red Lake property, targeting the extension of mineralized structures to support exploration at Pure Gold&#39;s adjacent Madsen mine project.</li><li>Greater definition of high priority, AI generated exploration targets.</li><li>Line cutting associated with the survey will increase property access.</li></ul>Dale Ginn, Executive Chairman for Pacton Gold, commented, &quot;We are pleased to be working with our neighbours at Pure Gold as they near production at their Madsen gold mine.

Drilling will target extension of the modelled mineralization along strike and at depth.</li><li>Phase II Drilling. Phase II of drilling will focus on lateral western extension of the Upper Duck Zone (UDZ) and the MDZ. Mineralization in the UDZ is associated with silicified iron formation.</li><li>Phase III Drilling. The final stage of drilling will target a northeast plunging mineralized trend at the Anderson Zone, which is characterized by mineralization in skarn and sheared ultramafics. It will also target mineralization to the east of the MDZ.</li></ul>Dale Ginn, Executive Chairman for Pacton, commented, &quot;Pacton is privileged to be one of the junior explorers to have an active joint venture drill program in the Red Lake district with Evolution, the region&#39;s senior producer. Sidace is an advanced gold exploration project that has been idle since 2009 and represents a superb opportunity to increase shareholder value. The goal for phase I will be to expand the existing zones, in order to increase volume and grade of mineralization. We look forward to sharing results as they come in.&quot; <img src="https://www.accesswire.com/users/newswire/images/607352/image-20200922164423-1.png" style="width: 600px; height: 488px;" />Figure 1.

The campaign included geological mapping, sampling, prospecting and soil geochemistry. More than 1,400 soil samples were collected at select target grids on the property and surface exploration teams were deployed to all of Pacton&#39;s Red Lake property blocks. These campaigns were conducted by Pacton geologists in combination with APEX Geoscience Ltd. and GoldSpot Discoveries. The surface teams completed the program at the end of October 2020 and final results are expected from the lab by the end of this month.The Company completed multiple geophysical surveys at the Red Lake project in 2020. A high-resolution helicopter magnetics survey was conducted at Gullrock, Pakwash, Dixie and Golden Loon properties (see Pacton news release dated September 15, 2020) (Figure 1). Results from the magnetics survey highlight new areas of interest and enhanced the definition of existing targets.An IP survey totalling 52 line km was completed by the Company on the property in the Madsen-Dixie Corridor. The IP survey identified multiple chargeability and resistivity anomalies in the vicinity of structures associated with the LP Extension, a regional-scale structure with more than 6 km of strike length underlaying Pacton&#39;s Red Lake property. Further exploration work is warranted along the LP Extension and associated structures to prioritize target areas for drilling.The Company initiated an airborne horizontal magnetic gradient and matrix VLF-EM resistivity survey throughout the 28,000 ha Red Lake property. Results from the survey will aid in target definition and exploration through the identification of faults, shear zones, folding and alteration zones. Final results from the recent survey are anticipated in Q1 2021.A 2D seismic survey was designed and conducted by Pure Gold Mining Inc. (PGM: TSX-V) on Pacton&#39;s property in the vicinity of the Madsen Mine (Figure 2). The survey included 13 km of seismic data over Pacton&#39;s claims and increased access to several target areas throughout the central property. Pacton received preliminary data from the seismic survey in late December 2020. Final data is anticipated in early 2021 and is expected to provide enhanced definition of structural controls for drill targeting at Pacton&#39;s Red Lake property.<img src="https://www.accesswire.com/users/newswire/images/623203/image-20210105144231-1.png" style="width: 600px; height: 594px;" />Figure 1.
