The Paraguayan government made an official statement that President Santiago Peña’s verified X account was hacked and published an unauthorized declaration that Bitcoin (BTC) would be made legal tender on June 9. The post also included a false plan to establish a Bitcoin treasury and add $5 million in BTC. The compromised account displayed an image titled “”Presidential speech about Bitcoin legalization as legal tender.” The text, attributed to Peña, claimed that a new law “formally recognizes Bitcoin as legal tender” and pledged a government BTC reserve valued at $5 million, held in the national treasury.  It also promised bond issues restricted to “crypto-enabled” citizens and urged readers to contact treasury staff. A caption posted with the image in English repeated the legal-tender claim and stated that “President Peña confirms $5M BTC reserve + bond access for crypto-enabled citizens,” and encouraged investors to “secure your stake in Bitcoin now.”  The message included a Bitcoin address, which has not received any BTC as of press time. Investigation launched into false post Minutes after the decree appeared, the official account of the Presidency of the Republic replied, calling the information false.  It added that the president’s account on X had shown “irregular activity suggesting a potential unauthorized access.”  According to the statement, the national incident response team, CERTPY, is working with X staff to clarify the situation and asked citizens to disregard any recent content until an official confirmation is released. The presidency announcement provided no further technical details and did not disclose how the attackers gained access or how long they controlled the account. No official policy change Paraguay’s government has issued no official decree that grants Bitcoin legal tender status, sets aside a $5 million reserve, or offers bonds to cryptocurrency users. The presidency reiterated that it will communicate any genuine policy actions through established official channels once the investigation concludes. The government removed the fraudulent decree and said it would provide updates on the breach through its verified outlets.

Terrence Stephen McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of 1960s counterculture, made him a top box office draw for his films of the late 1950s to the mid-1970s. He was nicknamed the "King of Cool" and used the alias "Harvey Mushman" when participating in motor races. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles (1966). His other popular films include The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Nevada Smith (1966), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Bullitt (1968), The Getaway (1972) and Papillon (1973), in addition to ensemble films such as The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963), and The Towering Inferno (1974). He became the world's highest-paid movie star in 1974; however, following this, he did not appear in a film for another four years. Although he was combative with directors and producers, his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to negotiate the largest salaries. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, McQueen flew to Mexico in October 1980 for surgery to remove or reduce tumors in his neck and abdomen, against the advice of American doctors who warned him that his cancer was inoperable and that his heart could not withstand the surgery. A few weeks later, he died at age 50 of a heart attack following the surgery at a hospital in Ciudad Juárez, where he checked in under a fake name and was operated on by hospital staff who were unaware of his true identity.
