@art_stapleton Idk, I think this is perfectly valid criticism from someone who is literally a Front Office Analyst for PMS. It was the Giants who were on Hard Knocks this year - it makes sense he's critical of their decisions when the Giants are not delivering on the field. They're 2-5.
First @SECGov said it could avoid FOIA because docs we’re owed are exempt. Then they said that exemption “may” no longer apply but won’t say for sure. Now they want at least THREE YEARS to find another exemption to avoid the law. Today we ask the DDC to end this nonsense. 1/4
Key word being while. After while come the excuses. Look at the harm already done in the name of "protecting our consumers and investors". They know you're optimistic and inclined to infer a positive tinge to this intentionally ambiguous statement. They'll gaslight you later.
i'm still so fired up about this over a year later, because the popular narrative around silvergate and signature is "oh they just made stupid balance sheet mistakes" when the truth is they were taken out back and shot by their own regulators. the fragility of the crypto banks was worsened by folks like Sen Warren publicly calling for a bank run and making false allegations that these banks had criminal exposure to FTX. which proved to be a HUGE LIE. the fact that a sitting senator encouraged a bank run is completely insane, by the way!
and then the regulators took the outflows from these banks as evidence that crypto was indeed too risky for banks to deal with, and used that as an excuse to clamp down and install new rules making it impossible to be a crypto bank – dunkin banned from selling donuts.
the whole thing is such a maddening scandal, it makes my blood boil, which is why it's so important we get to the truth, and testimony like Elaine's is so important
if we let the Biden admin pretend they did nothing wrong and these banks just happened to die on their own, they will do it again. as I write, they are still actively engaging in the suppression of the crypto industry via the deprivation of banking. if you are an entrepreneur of have any exposure to crypto, you should be upset about this too. they are targeting your livelihood and making it impossible for you to operate normally, by making banking inaccessible/expensive.
This is obviously absurd on its face. No, they aren't that dumb. The point isn't to win. The point is to distract, waste resources, spread FUD and slow us down. But, why is it always American companies? It's time for a serious investigation into these treasonous acts of sabotage.
It's refreshing to see Zuck finally acknowledge what we've all known: censorship of free speech is fundamentally wrong. But let's be honest, words alone aren't enough. A real shift begins with transparency. Facebook can start by making every government contract and request for speech suppression public and open source. Nothing should be hidden.
Great day for the US. SAB 121 does nothing to protect individuals.
good ol' checks and balances surfacing to impede those with authoritarian ambitions.

Privacy is normal.
Living in a surveillance state in which the government demands to watch everything we do with our money at all times without obtaining a warrant is NOT normal.
Treating software developers who build privacy-preserving technology as criminals is reprehensible.
Today, @krakenfx responds. The SEC threatened us with this lawsuit 1 day after @msantoriESQ's Congressional testimony. It's purpose is simply retaliation, intimidation and harassment. The SEC continues to de-legitimize itself with every bad-faith act.
