𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘇 ($ALV (+0,87 %))- Europe's largest insurance group cannot rest easy. In the U.S., the SEC and the Department of Justice are already investigating. Now, according to insiders, Bafin has also started investigations.
It is about a dispute between Allianz Global Investors (AGI) and investors of several hedge funds in the USA. The subject of the dispute is severe losses that AGI's "structured alpha funds" experienced during the Corona crash. As a result, investors are suing, seeking to claim losses of up to $6 billion.
According to Handelsblatt, Bafin is now investigating whether executives outside the fund division knew about or were involved in the events that led to the losses.
𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗸𝗼𝗺 - Deutsche Telekom ($DTE (-1,37 %)) has increased its stake in the U.S. subsidiary T-Mobile US ($TM5 (-0,56 %)) has been increased. The shares are partly acquired by the company itself and partly by Softbank ($3AG1 (+6,5 %)). This move brings Deutsche Telekom's stake from 43.2% to 48.4%.
The increase is made in cooperation with Softbank, which in return receives a capital increase of 4.5% in Telekom and now becomes the second-largest shareholder.
In addition, the services of Softbank's shareholdings will be offered via Telekom in the future.

𝗘𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 - as reported yesterday, bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (-1,72 %)) becomes a legal currency as of today.
In the past few weeks, 200 ATMs have been set up where US dollars can be exchanged for bitcoin.
However, not everyone is fond of the idea. There have been demonstrations for weeks. Pensioners in particular reject the cryptocurrency because they fear that their pensions will only be paid out in Bitcoin in the future. A crash like the one in 2017 would therefore be devastating.
