⚖️ THE LAW & AI — No. 1

Two of the biggest names in cybersecurity are in court arguing AI should not be allowed anywhere near their source code.

Cisco and Fortinet are being sued for patent infringement in Texas. The company suing them wants to use AI to analyze the source code they had to turn over. This week both sides told the judge they are "diametrically opposed": Cisco and Fortinet argue AI could "escape the sandbox," as in recent incidents. A judge must now decide how much AI belongs in the legal process itself.

Why this matters: If I paste company data into an AI tool — customer records, contracts, financials, passwords — I may lose control of it for good. It can be stored or absorbed into systems I can't see, and I can't take it back. Courts are starting to treat what goes into an AI as a hand-off to a third party — because that's what it is.

Crypto Fraud Enforcement Update

Turkish authorities have confirmed the arrest of Richard Heart (born Richard Schueler), founder of the Hex cryptocurrency, in Istanbul on October 14. Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek confirmed Heart and his wife were detained, with three bodyguards detained later. Searches of 15 addresses recovered $7.15 million in cash, six cold storage wallets, seven fi****ms, 1,400 rounds, 28 watches, and 97 pieces of jewelry.

Heart has been under an Interpol Red Notice since December 2024, issued at Finland's request over alleged tax evasion and assault, and Turkish officials link the case to alleged crypto fraud of about $1 billion. In the U.S., a federal judge dismissed the SEC's case against him in February 2025, and the SEC did not refile.

A reminder for businesses: verify the counterparty behind any crypto payment request or pitch, be skeptical of urgency, and treat unsolicited crypto opportunities as high-risk until proven otherwise.

Myth: Better Business Communication Requires Complicated Hardware 📡

Modern network and voice communications do not have to mean a maze of equipment, lengthy updates, or constant troubleshooting. With SD-WAN, businesses can virtualize network control, improve security, and reduce reliance on hardware while keeping voice and connectivity working together. The clear benefit is simpler, more flexible communication infrastructure that can adapt as your business grows.

95 Million Dollar scam at Fideuram:

Former chairman duped by WhatsApp messages and a synthetic voice

The former chairman of Fideuram, Paolo Molesini, was the victim of a €36 million scam, triggered by a fake WhatsApp message purportedly sent by Intesa banker Carlo Messina.
This was reported today by *Corriere della Sera*, which explained that the affair could have had far worse consequences, as a large proportion of the approximately 95 million that had left the institution’s coffers has been recovered abroad (either independently or in collaboration with the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office).

The international fraud dates back to February 2026, when Molesini, then chairman of Fideuram (a subsidiary of Intesa), received – or rather, believed he had received, as he would realise shortly afterwards – a WhatsApp message from Carlo Messina, director of the parent company Banca Intesa.

In the communication, the person purporting to be Messina points out to him the urgency of carrying out, via Fideuram’s treasury department (due to certain practical reasons that would prevent Intesa from handling this on its own), a series of bank transfers designed to ensure that Intesa does not miss out on a financial transaction abroad that is of interest to the bank.
