CEASE AND DECIST in all caps was my attempt at humor. It was a cross between Desist (which means to stop) and De-cyst (which would mean to remove a cyst, something that causes pain and discomfort).

What you know about U.S. securities laws apparently is that you are happy to ignore them if you simply disclose that you are ignoring them.

If your offshore Stock Tokens can not be offered or sold to U.S. persons, why are you touting them on your U.S. web site?

If it is not illegal, it should be. And in any case, it displays a terrible lapse of judgement on your part. Wisdom is displayed not just by obeying the strict letter of the law, but by doing what is right.

Shame on you.

Proud to be in the room.

In addition to my own comments back to @vladtenev about about my strongly-held concerns about Robinhood’s Stock Tokens, read what someone named Brad (who I don’t know) insightfully had to say on this topic:

[Adam Aron @CEOAdam]

On Monday, AMC made quite a consequential announcement. We have created a new venture, Leawood Films. It’s a disciplined, low risk way for AMC to distribute movies to movie theaters in the US and around the world. Our goal is simple – get some movies made and released into theaters that might not otherwise be greenlit for theatrical exhibition.

Obviously, our bread and butter will always come from major Hollywood studios, and our other key distribution partners. But if we can get some extra movies made, it will be gravy for AMC as well as for other movie theater operators with whom we will work.

We are pleased to be taking this innovative step forward.

To honor the one and only Dolly Parton. AMC will bring back two of her movies to about 200 of our theatres. Tomorrow through Wednesday.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS (1989):
the acclaimed comedy-drama starring Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis and Daryl Hannah.

THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS (1982):
the hit musical comedy starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.

No August doldrums in DC this week! It was great to join the inaugural @CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee (a group I've called "the Olympic roster of crypto.") But for a “crypto” gathering, there were a LOT of TradFi players in the room like @NASDAQ, @CMEGroup, @CBOE, @OptionsClearing, @NYSE, @The_DTCC (alphabet soup!)

Everyone was in agreement. Rules written for a different era aren’t good enough. Not for consumers. Not for business. Not for innovation.

I made this case in an open letter to Congress back in 2019. Seven years later, we STILL need clear rules…. Thanks to the Trump administration, appointees like @ChairmanSelig, and a myriad of bold leaders in Congress, we’ve never been closer.

AMC movie ticket scalpers above face price: To protect all our guests, your scalping days are numbered. We are monitoring EBAY and other sites. We will do our best to cancel your tickets and close your Stubs account. It is a violation of our ticketing terms to scalp AMC tickets.

Congratulations #XRP Holders! 🥳

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry.

The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well.

This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.

In the last year, we’ve seen the veritable light switch flip – from bank pilots to production, from issuing tokenized assets like money market funds and liquidity funds to using them! Institutional capital markets are moving in one direction -- onchain 24/7. At Ripple, our goal remains to provide the full stack of digital asset infrastructure – allowing institutional participants to take advantage of the entire lifecycle of a tokenized asset on the XRP Ledger.

I wrote this Op Ed this week, which was then published in Variety.

It explains why I believe it is in the best interest of AMC that Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros be approved.

232,000 American jobs supported by the crypto industry. Across all 50 states.

This is not a niche story. It is an economic one. The @NatCryptoAssoc’s latest research maps the full footprint.

The Clarity Act is a consumer protection bill: strong AML/KYC, real tools for law enforcement and state AGs. Leave it on the table and consumers are left twisting in the wind with the status quo with no clear standards for bad actors to exploit (again).
