@MillyTamati @bonjourdomain @stefanvonimhof @Travis_Jamison It’s not our portfolio, we present viable opportunities to our community, and each member chooses to invest (or not).

Mostly it comes down to:
1. Is it a scam
2. Are the returns high enough
3. Do we have an edge
4. Liquidity

@MillyTamati @bonjourdomain @stefanvonimhof @Travis_Jamison Gone very well so far. Our blanco just won double gold, and several distributions deals have been set up.

Next were considering:
Distressed whisky distillery
Equestrian facility in Ireland

Solid night at @ChristiesInc Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale.

Most pieces beat the estimates, including @AltAssetsInc favourite Frank Auerbach and his landscape, "Looking Toward Eversholt Street III" below.

A few favourites 🧵

[Turpentine @TurpentineMedia]

In this episode of Upstream, @eriktorenberg interviews Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) about the intricacies of the financial system, focusing on banking, money laundering, and regulatory compliance. They discuss several of Patrick’s essays from Bits About Money.

Patrick discusses the three stages of money laundering - placement, layering, and integration - and how the financial system has been deputized to act as law enforcement. The conversation touches on the unintended consequences of strict regulations, including their impact on economic growth and financial inclusion.

Beautiful Diego Maradona shirt on @JuliensAuctions. Vastly underrated relative to Pele IMO.

Authenticated by MEARS but I don’t see it attributed to a game.

Shame about the 30% BP.
