No one went to prison.
No home confinement. No DPAs.
No one was even charged.
Water under the bridge. Onwards!
🇺🇸 BREAKING: Bank of America has been fined $1.2 BILLION by the US government.
The bank failed to flag over $5 BILLION in suspicious transactions, the Treasury says.
The missed transactions were linked to suspected Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance around the southern US border.
The Treasury called the bank’s money laundering and sanctions failures “egregious and continued.”
The penalty includes a $750 MILLION fine from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, per the FT.

Would I go back to 20 years old?
Not a chance.
Everything I have today comes from the mistakes, the risks, and the journey. You don’t get the outcome without the process and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

The First Amendment protects the rights of individuals to engage with their elected officials on social media, when those officials use their accounts to conduct government business. We @adc along with @HassanShibly are suing @RepFine on behalf of @amasad for blocking Masad for pushing back on Fine’s bigoted rhetoric against Muslims. See you in Court, Congressman!

Monsters.
Israeli occupation forces distributed warning leaflets in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, this morning, threatening Palestinian residents that posting, sharing, or publishing online content critical of Israel would be treated as a terrorist offense, potentially resulting in arrest or imprisonment.
The leaflets stated:
"We are monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment, as has happened in this house. We have warned you."

Over the weekend I witnessed something every crypto investor should pay attention to. Ethereum, the largest blockchain in the world, got congested and fees skyrocketed past $1,000 just to process small transactions. That’s like paying a thousand-dollar toll to drive on a one-lane highway. It proves what I’ve been saying for years: when real traffic hits the system, it cracks under pressure.
For over a decade we’ve talked about going on-chain, and now with real-world adoption finally happening, the cracks are showing. Innovation isn’t just about hype or speculation, it’s about building infrastructure that can actually handle scale.

“But 🇨🇦 has low crime! Look at the statistics!”
You can’t have crime if you drop the charges almost every time. But sure, let’s pretend this about bail reform. 🤪

HIGH FREQUENCY TRADING (HFT) WAS IMPLEMENTED WIDELY IN 2011 FOR STOCKS, BONDS AND COMMODITIES. NO ONE WANTS TO WORK.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IS IMPLEMENTED WIDELY IN 2024. IT IS MAKING PEOPLE DUMBER. NO ONE WANTS TO THINK.

My sister and her husband died within days of each other. Their banks won’t let me access their safe-deposit boxes. What now? marketwatch.com/story/my-sis… via @MarketWatch

I am no longer at NYU.
Had I been at NYU I would have resigned.
From my experience most academics have no spine.

With DeepSeek, investors are (re)learning that those who come up with an *innovative* idea are almost never those who will make money from it.
Eg: Clive Osborne made the first laptop computer & went bust. Same with car, planes...
Next: electric cars.

Pierre Poilievre's former CPC government was the most corrupt in Canadian history, topping the World Bank corruption list. They delivered the worst economic record since WWII, were environmental pariahs, and hurt people with their policies.
