Judge Rules Those Fake Bored Ape NFTs Broke BAYC’s Trademark
Just because NFTs have lost much of their mainstream appeal, doesn’t mean the token creators are done fighting tooth and nail for the last scraps of past boom times. Late last week, a California judge decreed that those silly, derivative, and disturbing Bored Ape Yacht Club non-fungible tokens have trademark…
Dancing on Ice judge hits back at claims show is fixed but admits it IS a popularity contest
DANCING on Ice judge Ashley Banjo has hit back at claims the ITV show is fixed but admits it IS a popularity contest as he launched his fab new clothes range for Peacocks.
The Diversity star has been a hit on the star-studded panel alongside Strictly’s Oti Mabuse, and skate legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Dancing on Ice is renowned for its glitzy line-up of stars from Hollywood legends, music giants, TV and sporting heroes, some who fans reckon have stayed on the show longer than expected.
Ashley reassured fans all was above board at the launch of his stylish clothes range Approved, where Love Island’s Teddy Soares and Ron Hall partied alongside Diversity’s Perri Kelly at Notting Hill’s plush Los Mochis restaurant.
BAFTA winning BGT star Ashley told The Sun: “It’s not fixed, because that would be illegal. Of course it is partially a popularity contest – it’s not the olympics. People vote for who they like. It’s about people developing. Using a skill to express your performance.”
Meanwhile Ashley and Perri have revealed Diversity are set to return to the ITV show for an epic performance later this series.
Dance group Diversity who won the talent competition back in 2009, have returned to the show each year with a special performance.
This year looks to be no different – with Perri confirming that they have no plans to “break tradition” and have been asked by show bosses to return once again.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Ashley said: “I was at rehearsals with the boys and they were showing me some of the auditions. There is some amazing talent this year.
“There is a guy who set himself on fire, what is that about.”
While Diversity prepare to go back on the road for an epic tour in September, as well as gearing up for playing the Tin-man in The Wizard of Oz this summer in the West End, Ashley has been busy with his clothes range.
The edit includes polo and short co-ords, oversized tees, loungewear, chinos and breezy shorts in a neutral colour palette for head to toe tonal dressing including earthy greens, khaki, pale pink and onyx black.
Ashley said: “I’d love to see Barack Obama in it. That would be something. I’d send some to Simon Cowell, but not sure if he’d wear it though,” he smiled.
Ashley added: “Being a dancer, movement and style go hand in hand and I really wanted to reflect that in this new edit with Peacocks. I liked expanding my creativity into pieces that I thought reflected my style and vibe for the summer. After all the love and attention to detail that has gone into this collection I can’t wait to see people actually wearing it.”
Ashley Banjo: Approved is available online www.peacocks.co.uk and in over 340 Peacocks stores nationwide.

Judge rejects Elizabeth Holmes’ bid for freedom while awaiting appeal
A federal judge denied Holmes’s motion for release on Monday as she appealed her conviction on four counts of fraud and conspiracy, as reported by The Guardian. As a result, the Theranos founder is scheduled to report to prison on April 27th.
Holmes has appealed her conviction to the federal ninth circuit court of appeals based on questions about the “accuracy and reliability” of evidentiary and procedural issues in the trial. However, US district court judge Edward Davila ruled Monday that the appeals didn’t meet the burden of a “substantial” questioning of facts or law. According to the judge, the request didn’t address the conviction’s underlying wire-fraud issues against investors. Therefore, it wouldn’t warrant a reversal or new trial (the legal standard for remaining free pending appeal) even if the appeals court agreed with her assertions.
However, the judge ruled against prosecutors hoping to brand Holmes as a flight risk after learning that her partner bought her a one-way ticket for a flight to Mexico. Although the judge described the ticket purchase (and failure to cancel it post-conviction) as a “bold move” and “perilously careless oversight,” he gave her the benefit of the doubt, ruling she was “not likely to flee or pose a danger” to the public.
Last November, the Theranos founder was sentenced to over 11 years in prison for defrauding investors after a jury found her guilty last January. Founded in 2003, Theranos claimed to produce a long list of revealing health results using only a single drop of a patient’s blood. The company raised hundreds of millions of dollars from high-profile investors before internal whistleblowers sourced a 2015 Wall Street Journal story revealing that the startup’s underlying technology was bogus. The story has since become a cautionary tale, with podcasts, books and a recent Hulu miniseries cashing in on the one-time Silicon Valley golden child’s downfall.
