[Arush (FTX Creditor) @arush]

24 NOVEMBER 2025 -
One of the most important fights remaining in the FTX case

Judge Owens will hear @Cryptoguy_19 ‘s insane story of retaliation from the FTX Debtors who have blatantly abused their power to threaten Seth with lawfare, having withheld his legally earned KEIP payment and forced him, a victim, to spend resources he has left to clear his name from baseless allegations.

The debtors have wasted hundreds of thousands of creditor estate dollars fighting him for a payment only worth $110k. Why?

FTX Japan, like FTX EU, was illegally placed into bankruptcy without board approval, and the entity was solvent with customers receiving recoveries 1:1 in-kind. The debtors, realizing they fucked up (again) and are liable, attempted to give themselves releases and exculpations (where have we seen this before!) which Seth objected to as overreach.

They withheld his KEIP payment, threatened to equitably subordinate him (classic Sullcrom!) simply because he stood up for victims rights.

This is not justice. This is the purest, vilest form of evil that exists in business. These people are sick, drunk on power they are completely hollow inside, they have long given up their oath to uphold the law, the line is so far gone they no longer recognize what they were hired to do anymore.

Allegedly.

Just a reminder my Canadian friends. Many spring projects.

Home Depot is 100% American owned. The owner is Bernard Marcus is a huge Trump supporter.

Home hardware is 100% Canadian owned.

Pass the word repost.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Working families need Washington to bring down costs—on housing, health care, child care, groceries, you name it.

They don’t need Donald Trump and Elon Musk to cut funding for cancer research, fire air traffic controllers, or gut disaster recovery.

@peter What about the blocking and tackling issues? Training data sets scored results against which to measure model efficacy?

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

This should be shared by everyone!

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

The presidential debate was 25 days ago.

Time enough for the fallout, the assassination attempt, the Republican convention, JD Vance, and Biden’s withdrawal.

There are more than 100 days before Election Day.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Welcome to America, where the convicted felon & adjudicated rapist who lied to every citizen during a plague & ended the 240 yr US peaceful transfer of power can lie 50 times in a debate;

…and we’re all debating whether the other old guy should drop out.

Happy 4th of July.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Here are a few of the reasons why the majority of Americans despise Trump. Grab a seat y'all. The list is extensive.

[Dr. Jill Andrew, PhD (she/her) @JILLSLASTWORD]

This is disgusting!
Pride flags should be flown at all ON schools esp *publicly* funded schools.
Explain to me how not flying the flag isn't propping up (condoning!) homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia AKA HATE against our 2SLGBTQIA+ community!? Shameful. 21st century people!

[Brown Eyed Susan @smc429]

Melania Trump won't even get in the same car with her husband at her mother's funeral. She slaps his hand away when he tries to hold it. She regularly accompanied him to Epstein's mansion but won't dare be seen supporting him in court. She was the origin of "locker room talk" and wore an I Don't Care jacket on the way to see jailed children. They hate Melania so much in Slovenia that they erected a statue of her and people burned it down.

Why the fuck would America deserve that?
When Republicans send their First Ladies, they're not sending their best.

Here’s an eye-opening argument made by an opponent of Montana’s anti-trans legislation - one that hasn’t gotten much attention.

[Joel Melamed @jmelamed]

A long tweet, but an accurate one that sums up my feelings on guns and America. Maybe it’s “too soon” to talk about the shooting in Nashville. Surely it’s not “too soon” to talk about the shooting in Newton, CT?

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the words "shall not be infringed" are meaningless without the words WELL REGULATED MILITIA.

Just kidding, I know exactly who needs to hear it.

You're living a 2nd Amendment lie. It's not a blank check to all gun-loving randos. And it doesn't give you carte blanche permission to mow down dozens of innocents in an angry hail of bullets.

It doesn't supersede OUR rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's not more sacred than our right to watch our 5-year-olds grow into adults and have kids of their own. It's not more important than our rights to live long, fulfilling lives.

Yeah, we've heard it all before "it won't stop every mass shooting," but if it stops ONE mass shooting, if it saves someone's little kids, someone's mama, isn't THAT worth throwing everything we can at this epidemic of gun deaths?

Seatbelts, speed limits, and helmets don't prevent EVERYONE from dying, but they sure do save a LOT of lives. Nobody took our cars away, so stop it with that nonsense. But they DID insist we learn how to properly drive one, get a license and registration, and abide by the common rules of the road.

Right now, we are failing to protect our littlest kids from being mass murdered while they're in school. Don't they deserve to learn without being burdened with fight or flight, or hiding under their desks, wondering if they're going to die today?

And how selfish are YOU to resist what, a few extra rules some more days waiting on a background check to save some lives just to preserve your fantasy of some shootout with a tyrannical gov't?

Oh, the criminals are going to have access to guns while you won't? WRONG. You'll have access, you just have to buy your guns legally. Many of these mass shootings aren't even criminals -- they are just angry, selfish people looking to make a big splash before they take themselves out.

No other country on Earth has this problem. What do you need an AR-15 for? If you have a showdown with the government, I hate to burst your bubble, but you will lose, for sure. No real hunter uses that kind of weapon to shoot deer or rabbits. So what is it, then? A small peen? See a therapist.

The NRA has sold a lot of lies to insecure people. Tyranny? Wasn't that supposed to be President Obama? How do you still have guns and ammo?

And the scapegoating of trans people absolutely has to stop. They are our smallest, most vulnerable community. If you didn't have them to shit on, you'd still be shitting on gay people. And Muslims. And Blacks. And all the way down the list of people you need to feel like you're superior to. All they want to do is exist without being told they shouldn't.

And their rights to exist are more important than your right to own a big ass gun to make you feel better about your little ass dick.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Read the Constitution again. It doesn't say anything about the right to shoot up innocents in a school, or a church, or a supermarket, or a club, or anywhere.

Obama makes me proud to be an American citizen and is one reason I haven’t let the MAGAts drive me to renounce my citizenship.

It’s just crazy. He’s better than he was ten years ago. Better than ever.

[Joel Melamed @jmelamed]

@nagohome @blaireerskine You are describing exactly what the anti-abortion has done. Lobbying “crooked congress-people” has resulted in their morality being imposed on the rest of us. It’s not enough to say “if you don’t want one don’t have one” because that’s not how democracies work.

[Joel Melamed @jmelamed]

@nagohome @blaireerskine I’m not sure you know how society works! We live in a democracy. We elect leaders to pass laws that dictate how others are allowed to behave. Or are you proposing anarchy?

[Joel Melamed @jmelamed]

@nagohome @blaireerskine Do I have the right to dictate that bigamy is not legal? How about no sex with children? Or is it enough to say I won’t do it but I won’t stop the rest of you from doing so?

[Joel Melamed @jmelamed]

@nagohome @blaireerskine That’s a poor argument, akin to: if you’re against treason, don’t commit any. No, if you believe abortion is murder it’s not enough to not commit any yourself….
