Exhibit A

NORTH KOREA DID IT BINANCE WAS HACKED FOR $6,300,000,000. THREE OF THE BIGGEST BLOCKCHAIN INVESTIGATORS NOW POINT AT NORTH KOREA. TRM Labs and Chainalysis both say they have "high confidence" it was TraderTraitor, the North Korean hacking unit tied to the Lazarus Group. Elliptic says North Korea is "likely" behind it and calls it "almost certainly the largest theft of any kind in history." It started with one engineer's laptop. Binance says attackers got in through a compromised DevOps machine, then found more ways in. In about 20 minutes, roughly $6.3 billion left its hot wallets. That's more than four times Bybit. The FBI pinned Bybit's $1.5 billion on the same Lazarus network within five days. Binance says it's now working with the FBI and the Secret Service. Nobody official has named North Korea yet. About $3 billion is frozen. Binance says it has set aside $6.34 billion of its own money to cover user losses. Withdrawals are paused. Last night we posted $2.8 billion while Binance hadn't said a word. The real number was more than double. If one laptop can open the door to $6.3 billion, where are you keeping your coins tonight

BINANCE IS BEING HACKED. UP TO $5,600,000,000 IS GONE. CZ, tonight: " Binance was hacked ." The biggest on-chain tallies now put the drain from Binance-labeled wallets at about $5.6 billion, double what we posted an hour ago. Roughly $3.5 billion on Ethereum, $1.4 billion in Bitcoin (18,270 BTC) and $630 million on Tron, per Decrypt. The FBI pinned Bybit on North Korea's Lazarus. Some analysts already say tonight looks like the same playbook. Nobody has confirmed that yet. Tether and Circle have frozen about $1.8 billion of stablecoins sitting in the receiving wallet. Stablecoins can be frozen. Bitcoin and ETH can't. 18,270 BTC is out there with no off switch. Binance itself still says only that it is "actively investigating" and that user funds are "SAFU." The founder says hack. The company says investigating. Which one would you believe with your money on it?

Martha Stewart didn't go to prison for insider trading. The judge threw that charge out. She went to prison for lying about a trade that saved her $45,673. Two years earlier, her company's IPO had made her $1.2 billion richer in one day, per 60 Minutes. Six months after the trade, she went on live TV to make a salad. The host asked about the stock. Martha said: "I want to focus on my salad." In the video below, a 1995 Martha tells 60 Minutes which sin she can't stand in people. Wait for it. ImClone's CEO was her friend Sam Waksal. On December 27, 2001, he learned the FDA was about to reject the company's cancer drug. He and his family tried to dump their shares. Martha's broker, Peter Bacanovic, had his assistant call her that same day. She sold $230,000 of stock. The FDA news came out the next day. Then came the cover story. Martha and Bacanovic told investigators she had a standing order to sell if the price fell below $60. Prosecutors said that story was made up after the fact. The jury convicted her of conspiracy, obstruction and two counts of lying to federal investigators. Waksal pleaded guilty and got 7 years and 3 months. The man who told investigators the truth was the assistant, Doug Faneuil. He got a $2,000 fine and no prison. Bacanovic got the same five months she did. She reported to a federal prison camp in Alderson, West Virginia, on October 8, 2004. Per History.com, her company's stock roughly quadrupled while she was inside. In 2006 she paid the SEC about $195,000 to settle. In 2025 she said the line again, in a Super Bowl ad for Uber Eats. The trade saved her $45,673. The lie cost her five months. The line she used to dodge the question was selling Super Bowl ads 23 years later.

Tyler Shultz was 22 when he reported Theranos to state regulators. His grandfather, former Secretary of State George Shultz, sat on the company's board and didn't believe him. He had first met Elizabeth Holmes in that grandfather's living room. A few months after he quit, she came to the family's Thanksgiving. In the video below, he explains what it cost him. Theranos claimed a few drops of blood could run hundreds of tests. Tyler worked with the machine every day and watched it fail. When he raised it, Holmes's partner and COO, Sunny Balwani, reportedly told him he would have been fired if his last name weren't Shultz. In 2014 he filed a confidential complaint with New York regulators and quit. In 2015 he became a source for Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou. Theranos worked out who the leak was. Its lawyers came to his grandfather's house to get him to sign papers saying he never talked to the press. He wouldn't sign. His legal bills passed $400,000, and his parents warned they might have to sell their home. Forbes once put Holmes at $4,500,000,000. In 2016 it marked her down to zero. On January 3, 2022, a jury found her guilty on four counts of defrauding investors. She got 135 months. She and Balwani were ordered to pay back $452,000,000. When the verdict came in, Tyler's family opened champagne. His grandfather had died the year before. Tyler says he never quite apologized, but near the end he admitted Tyler had been right. This month A24 released a documentary built around Holmes's last 34 days before prison. Per CBS, it made $15,000,000 its opening weekend. She is set to move to a halfway house in August 2027 and has asked the President to cut her sentence short. Holmes got a film crew for her last month of freedom. Tyler got lawyers at his grandfather's house.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS JUST PUT FORWARD A RESOLUTION: NO BAILOUTS FOR AI COMPANIES. A YEAR AGO, OPENAI'S CFO WAS ASKED ON STAGE ABOUT A "FEDERAL BACKSTOP" FOR CHIP INVESTMENT. SHE NEEDED ONE WORD. "Exactly." Nov 5, 2025, WSJ Tech Live. That same evening Friar wrote on LinkedIn that OpenAI is not seeking a government backstop and that the word had "muddied the point." The next day the White House AI czar, David Sacks, posted that there will be no federal bailout for AI. Today's resolution is nonbinding. It says an AI company that goes broke should go through ordinary bankruptcy, like any other business. In 2008 the House voted a bank rescue down once. Four days later it passed one worth up to $700,000,000,000. If the AI boom breaks, who should eat the loss: shareholders or taxpayers?

IN 2003, NOBODY WOULD SELL ELON MUSK ROCKET PARTS. THIS WEEK FORBES HAS HIM AT $937,000,000,000. The parts problem was the easy part. SpaceX's first three Falcon 1 launches failed, the last one in August 2008, and the company was nearly out of money with one rocket left. That fourth rocket reached orbit on September 28, 2008. Last year SpaceX flew 165 of the world's 325 orbital launches. Nobody's refusing to sell him anything now.

Every town has all four. Which one is your uncle?

IN 2022, ELON MUSK SAID HE DIDN'T EVEN OWN A HOME. THIS WEEK FORBES PUT HIM AT $989,000,000,000. His words at TED: it "would be very problematic if I was consuming billions of dollars a year." No home, no yacht, he said. Since then Tesla shareholders approved him a pay package the media called a $1 trillion deal. And this summer he told The Economist money won't matter in 2036. We ran the numbers. Spend $1 million every single day, starting in the year 1 AD. By today you'd be $739.9 billion in. He'd still have $249 billion left. Too much for one person, or fair game?
