https://chrisoncrypto.com/blog/f/criminal-trial-for-ex-celsius-ceo-alex-mashinsky-set-for-september-2024/
As Sam Bankman-Fried appeared in court on Tuesday to face criminal charges, Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of the now-bankrupt lending firm Celsius, had his trial date set for September 17, 2024.
Mashinsky faces a multiplicity of criminal fraud charges from various agencies.
A Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) investigation found congruence with an independent examiner’s report released in February, highlighting damning revelations that date back to at least 2020. In the 476-page document, the examiner found that #Celsius insiders knew about illegal activities, and some employees withdrew large chunks of #tokens before the firm’s eventual collapse.

#Worldcoin’s premise seemingly comes straight out of the #dystopian sci-fi film Minority Report; as if the founders watched the movie and thought ‘what a great idea’. The 64% drop is certainly underwhelming considering the heavy criticisms and concerns.

JPMorgan bank profit jumped a whopping 67% to $14.5 billion in the second quarter of 2023, driven by rising rates and its acquisition of collapsed First Republic Bank in May. By comparison, Google and Apple saw 21% and 25% in profit. America’s #banking crisis has been incredibly profitable for JP Morgan.

Cross-posting on Nostr feels off. Anyone who's here knows all too well how badly censorship has become on legacy social media. The biggest reason for my attempting to stay there (as long as I can) is because that's where many normies are and preaching to the choir on Nostr doesn't really make sense to me.
