I guess if you get caught in an elaborate fraud, one out is to claim that it was REALLY a social experiment and it's truly the fraud's victims that must atone for being so gullible
The ROAD to Housing Act was so far from being one of President Trump's "signature housing affordability bills" that it quite literally does not have his signature on it

Someone impersonated a WSJ lawyer and had X take down this thread for violating copyright.
It’s now back online.
ICYMI: @BoHines’s company earned millions from @Tether as he led the White House’s crypto agenda.

SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned.

Seven more companies are objecting to being included in OKXICE's tokenized securities venue, including Microsoft, Google and Goldman Sachs. That brings the total to 16

In the short term though, it's a bet on whether Trump or an administration official tweets something like "Long live Fannie and Freddie!" within the next couple months
Few things are more annoying than reaching out for comment, getting radio silence after multiple requests, but then finding out that your reach-out did result in being added to their distribution list

Great to join @WOSU’s Snollygoster podcast to discuss crypto, Fairshake and Sherrod Brown’s comeback bid in Ohio wosu.org/podcast/snollygoste…
I'm officially suspending my @standwithcrypto @SenThomTillis grade tracker to spend more time with my family. He's probably an A or a B right now. Thank you for reading
Feels like weeks ago I was reading about the stablecoin bull case being that AI agents were going to need stables to do stuff like monitor flight prices and buy on your behalf.
