Pretty convenient over a cup of coffee in the morning, you can just listen to where your At and what to continue on when you get back to your Mac literally just shows up on your iPhone
This is a real Briefcast episode. I asked Claude Code to add project names to my briefings. Then two AI hosts walked me through what changed, the tests and the deploy. I listened on my phone instead of reading logs. Waitlist: briefcast.dev

HEX FOUNDER RICHARD HEART ARRESTED IN ISTANBUL, $600,000 CASH AND ARSENAL SEIZED Turkish authorities have reportedly arrested Richard Heart, whose real name is Richard James Schueler, in a joint intelligence and police operation in Istanbul. Heart, founder of HEX, PulseChain and PulseX, was wanted under an Interpol Red Notice issued at Finland’s request. Police reportedly detained Heart and his wife at a residence in Istanbul’s Beşiktaş district following extensive surveillance. Authorities seized: • $600,000 in cash • 24 wristwatches • 20 gold bracelets and 7 gold necklaces • 7 firearms and 1,360 rounds of ammunition • 12 mobile phones and 6 laptops • 20 graphics cards and 14 SSDs • 2 drones In 2023, the SEC charged Heart with raising over $1 billion through unregistered crypto offerings and allegedly misappropriating at least $12 million in investor funds to purchase luxury goods, including sports cars, expensive watches and a 555-carat black diamond. Heart was subsequently placed on Interpol’s wanted list in 2024 over separate allegations involving tax fraud and assault. Both Heart and his wife have been taken into custody for questioning as the investigation continues.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Senate Republicans just introduced the ADAPT Act, a new crypto tax bill. Key changes in the bill: 1. No tax on stablecoin payments, as long as the coin trades within 3% of $1. 2. No tax on small crypto network fees (like gas fees) under $10 per transaction. 3. Wash sale rules would now apply to crypto, closing a loophole traders used to claim tax losses 4. Mining and staking rewards get clearer rules for where they're taxed 5. Foreign investors trading crypto through a US broker won't be treated as doing business in the US 6. Donating crypto to charity no longer needs a formal appraisal, same as donating stock If passed, these changes would take effect starting in 2027.
