Jane Street made $10 billion in trading revenue in a single quarter.
For scale reference- thats more than Goldman, JP Morgan, Citi, or Bank of America managed in the same period
They got banned from India’s stock market last year for manipulating a national index. They seized $570 million and called them “not a good faith actor that deserves to be trusted”
Today they’re being sued for insider trading that helped trigger the $40b Terra collapse.
And because they’re classified as a trading firm and not a hedge fund, they’re exempt from the disclosure rules that would force them to show you how they actually make their money.
This is also the firm that handles BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF, btw
Labor gave $6 million of taxpayer money to a golf club in Albanese's electorate.
Helen Haines asked why.
Her electorate was one of 45 that weren't even invited to apply for the $560 million program. Labor seats took almost 3 quarters of it.
Labor's answer was a dirt sheet on her.
A dirt sheet doesn't argue the point. It tells everyone the person asking is a hypocrite and a hack, someone not worth listening to.
It gets slipped to journalists so nobody's name is on it and the question gets buried under the person.
Do that to enough people and politics stops being about policy, it becomes about who the enemy is.
In 2007 Albanese had even stood up in parliament and tore into the Howard government for running a secret dirt unit.
Now ASIO is warning about rising tensions, Helen Haines is in hospital after losing a leg and the PM all of a sudden wants everyone to cool down.
The first assassination attempt on a politician happened in Australia yesterday
Helen Haines has just had her leg amputated and is still in critical condition after being struck by a cowardly man in his car.
In what universe do extremist actions send a message?
Praying for her recovery.
