**[Former Georgian Leader Attempts to Recover $1 Billion Worth of Bitcoin]** Odaily Planet Daily News: Georgian billionaire and former leader Bidzina Ivanishvili rejected a $50 million Bitcoin mining investment ten years ago, missing out on an opportunity now potentially worth $21 billion. As his personal wealth shrinks (currently estimated at around $2.7 billion), Ivanishvili is taking extreme measures to recover what he believes to be "stolen" Bitcoin. He accuses his former financial advisor, Bachiashvili, of using loans obtained from his bank to mine 24,000 Bitcoins and refusing to share them. Bachiashvili was kidnapped in Abu Dhabi this May and sent back to Georgia, where he is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence. (CoinDesk)
