Ben McKenzie is celebrating beating the “corrupt” Clarity Act by having a beer. I have not comment on his words. I’m just baffled that he’s publicly drinking a beer shot out of a whiskey tumbler.

Firefighters held the fire to just seven acres. If you were in the area, you witnessed the coordinated ground and air response that quickly stopped the fire.

To everyone bandwagoning on NASA right now just know that Will Smith was with Artemis, from the start of this, running the game.

REGARDING LINQTO: Judge Perez just issued his ruling. THE BANKRUPTCY SETTLEMENT PLAN HAS BEEN CONFIRMED & APPROVED. In his ruling, Judge Perez cited a very handsome attorney when he said: “As Mr. Deaton likes to say: ‘Customers won Constructive Trust without litigating it.’” Judge Perez also stated that the Liquidating Trust (LT) & Closed End Fund (CEF) is the result giving customers the closest possible option providing them “the benefit of their bargain.” The Judge also stated that there were serious allegations of fraud at Linqto and that based on the evidence presented, the bankruptcy filing was done in good faith. He overruled any objection to approving the plan. He stated that there were no conflicts of interests that impeded the plan and that the fact that the New Management at @linqtoinc is NOT involved in managing either the LT or CEF and made a claim themselves against the estate, proves no conflict impeded or improperly influenced the plan. Being in bankruptcy sucked and it’s extremely unfortunate. But let me repeat what I’ve said before. There was more than $1 Billion dollars of value on the platform. Bankruptcy was filed July 2025. To get this case resolved in 7 months with customers estimated to receive 95% of what they’re entitled to - is the best bankruptcy result involving a fraud case in modern bankruptcy history. Lawyers at Brown Rudnick, including Ken Aulet, Robert Stark, @stephendpalley and others, deserve most of the credit for putting customers first - above their own financial interests. They are outstanding lawyers who helped restore my own faith in my profession. Sam Schwartz and Jeff Stein who represented the debtor also deserve credit for putting customers first. To all the innocent Linqto customers - congratulations on getting the best possible outcome in a shitty situation. I’m glad this is over. Back to campaigning. 😂

In general, love your posts, but this is not accurate. The White House has been super constructive here. They did ask us to see if we can go figure out a deal with the banks, which we're currently working on. Actually, we've been cooking up some good ideas on how we can help the community banks specifically in this bill, since that's what this is about.....the community banks, right? More coming soon.

My take on XRP vis a vis Bitcoin... Rather than focus on one clip, this goes through the logic.

Ripple just raised $500 million from a group of marquee investors. But here’s how outside VCs see it: “[The company] is not worth anything outside of XRP holdings. No one uses their tech. No usage on the network/blockchain.” @steven_ehrlich investigates unchainedcrypto.com/are-inve…

I was an early shareholder in Ripple Labs, as I invested in nearly all the deals available during the early days of Bitcoin—and Ripple was in the payments space when I was focused on FinTech. I don’t own any XRP. I won’t own any XRP. I’ve never owned any XRP. The company itself owns almost half of all XRP. Ripple Labs was one of many early investments I made that have performed incredibly well. If the company goes public, I’ll sell my shares. But my focus remains on Bitcoin. Other early investments include Coinbase, Kraken, Robinhood, Exodus, Bitstamp, Circle, Bitfinex, Securitize, and many others. I’ve always disclosed this. To me Ripple Labs fit in the banksters financial industrial complex bucket.
