  Therefore Acacia could be a lucrative takeover target in its weakened state. Lumentum, for example, recently agreed to buy Oclaro (NASDAQ:OCLR) -- which also relies heavily on China -- for�$1.7 billion.

  Shares of Oclaro (NASDAQ:OCLR) gained 33.3% in March of 2018, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, riding a generous buyout premium as longtime rival Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE) launched a takeover bid.

  The founders of Floyd Mayweather-backed cryptocurrency firm Centra Tech have been indicted by a grand jury and accused of fraud, a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced this week. Raymond Trapani, Sohrab Sharma and Robert Farkas allegedly planned to defraud investors through a token sale labeled as a "scheme to induce victims to invest million of dollars' worth of digital funds for the purpose of unregistered securities." Authorities recovered more than $60 million in funds from the founders. Centra Tech's token sale had been endorsed by heavyweight boxer Mayweather, and the company claimed to have relationships with Visa Inc. (V) and Mastercard Inc. (MA) , which authorities said never existed.
