Paramus NJ, it was a difficult week for financier Anthony Scaramucci, first an SUV owned by the former White House communications director was stolen from outside a Ridgewood Avenue residence in Paramus on Sunday. According to police Scaramucci forgot to lock the car.

The SUV was located by Newark police later that day. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz with a “MRSMOOCH” license plate was unlocked when the thief entered and used a spare key fob in the vehicle to start the car, Paramus Police Chief Kenny Ehrenberg said.

The Newark Police Department used GPS tracking to locate Scaramucci’s SUV, which was found in the city, a department spokesperson said. Newark Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara and other Newark police officers reunited Scaramucci with his car, according to a department Twitter post.

On Friday US regulators rejected the former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci’s hedge fund’s filing to list a bitcoin exchange-traded fund.

The fund proposed by Scaramucci’s hedge fund SkyBridge Capital and investment firm First Trust is one of several Bitcoin-backed ETFs that the SEC has blocked. SEC Chair Gary Gensler has resisted giving the green light to the funds amid concerns that the volatile digital asset market backing them remains opaque and unregulated. The SEC has instead allowed funds to trade if they’re linked to Bitcoin futures contracts — a financial instrument regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that reflects the value of the digital currency.
