Scene on Shab-e-Barat night where some abduls performed dangerous stunts shaming and challenging Police and Law & Order in Kolkata, WB.
This is one of Kolkata's most high profile areas and hub to some remaining industries of Bengal.
Iโve mentioned something like this before, but, if any of my companies goes public, we will prioritize other longtime shareholders of my other companies, including Tesla.
Loyalty deserves loyalty.
Congratulations @narendramodi on your victory in the worldโs largest democratic elections! Looking forward to my companies doing exciting work in India.
๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ธPUTIN MOCKS ZELENSKY APPLAUDING A NAZI IN CANDA
PUTIN: "Look, the president of Ukraine visited Canada. The story is well known, but being silenced in the western countries.
The Canadian parliament introduced a man who, as the speaker of the parliament said, fought against the Russians during World War II.
Well, who fought against the Russians during World War II? Hitler and his accomplices. It turned out that this man served in the SS troops. He personally killed Russians, Poles, and Jews.
The SS troops consisted of Ukrainian nationalists who did this dirty work. The president. Ukraine stood up with the entire parliament of Canada and applauded this man. How? How can this be imagined?
The president of Ukraine himself, by the way, is a jew by nationality."
Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.
Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.
Iโm pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.
Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.
Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
With Richard and the entire team, Iโm confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead.
As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.
Whatโs next for me?
I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.
After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.
I canโt see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.
On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:
- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and
- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.
Funds are SAFU!
With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.
Onwards!
