BOSTON (Reuters) -Three cryptocurrency companies and 15 people have been charged with engaging in widespread fraud and market manipulation following an investigation in which the FBI for the first time directed the creation of a new digital token to help authorities ferret out crime. Federal prosecutors in Boston charged the firms Gotbit, ZM Quant, CLS Global and the leaders and employees of those and other companies in a takedown that has led to four arrests, agreements by five people to plead guilty and the seizure of over $25 million worth of cryptocurrency. Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy said the defendants engaged in sham trades to artificially inflate the trading volume of various cryptocurrency tokens before selling them off, "leaving innocent investors holding the bag."

Mali's military government is seeking at least 300 billion CFA ($512 million) in outstanding taxes and dividends from Barrick Gold, three sources said, a move that is part of a push by the country to collect more revenue from mining companies. Authorities in Mali last month briefly detained four Malian staff working for Barrick, the world's second-largest gold miner, and the Canadian company said on Sept. 30 it had agreed with the government to solve existing claims and disputes. The demands on Barrick follow an audit of mining contracts last year and a subsequent push by Mali to renegotiate existing agreements with mining firms, including Bing2GOLD, Resolute Mining and Allied Gold, to channel a greater share of revenues into state coffers through a new mining code.
