IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE In re: FTX TRADING LTD., et al., 1 Debtors. Chapter 11 Case No. 22-11068 (JTD) September 11, 2023

FBI, how does the New York crypto RICO look from the regulator's September 11, 2021 board resignation at Lending Club to the September 11, 2023 FTX CH. 11 paperwork. We will have to go to Hong Kong to suez where the STX data is housed to really innovate beyond FTX fraud. SBF has human rights too and obstruction, conflicts ... Trump loans that are trumped by X.com loans held by Binance. The FTX fraud is sad, sure but in 2022 the regulator saw a larger fraud than FTX with the pensions: https://comptroller.nyc.gov/services/financial-matters/pension/asset-perfor… . ---- PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, on September 11, 2023, the Debtors provided a presentation (the “Presentation”) to the Committee, AHC and Customer Group, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wr3bFkYVs_BObw_Qb3P-aMEePD0ZM2az/view?usp=…

The Statue of Liberty: The Meaning and Use of a National Symbol | NEH-Edsitement
by Gunnar Larson 19 Nov '23

19 Nov '23

"We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected." —President Grover Cleveland, accepting the Statue of Liberty on behalf of the U.S., October 28th, 1886 A symbol stands for an idea. The Statue of Liberty stands in Upper New York Bay, a universal symbol of freedom. Originally conceived as an emblem of the friendship between the people of France and the U.S. and a sign of their mutual desire for liberty, it was also meant to celebrate the abolition of slavery following the U.S. Civil War. Over the years the Statue has become much more. It is the Mother of Exiles, greeting millions of immigrants and embodying hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life in America. It stirs the desire for freedom in people all over the world. It represents the United States itself. How was the Statue of Liberty designed to be a symbol? How have circumstances enhanced its meaning? Help clarify the nature of symbols for your students as they study the Statue of Liberty, complete research on a national symbol, and use their research to communicate a message of their own. https://edsitement.neh.gov/lesson-plans/statue-liberty-meaning-and-use-nati… .

The Influence of Cyberpunk on Cryptocurrency
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 19 Nov '23

19 Nov '23

And corpse-media on carpetbaggers " . . . Background of the Crypto Movie Released in 1995, Johnny Mnemonic is a cyberpunk action film, now being referred to as a crypto movie, offering a dystopian vision of the year 2021. Directed by Robert Longo in his feature directorial debut, the movie is based on William Gibson’s short story of the same name, written in 1981. The narrative unfolds in a future plagued by a tech-induced disease, marked by pervasive conspiracies, and dominated by powerful megacorporations and organized crime. The Influence of Cyberpunk on Cryptocurrency The cyberpunk genre, characterized by its exploration of dystopian futures shaped by advanced technology and corporate dominance, has long been associated with themes that resonate with the development of cryptocurrency. Johnny Mnemonic, as a cyberpunk film, taps into these themes, providing a backdrop that aligns with the decentralized and anti-establishment ethos of many cryptocurrencies. . . ." Cyberpunk looks like a shitcoin next to cypherpunk - but there's no such thing as bad PR. On to CYPHERPUNK 2027!

Breaking News: Robinhood Rebrands as 'Libra'
by Gunnar Larson 18 Nov '23

18 Nov '23

With the news this week, from the archive: https://thecapital.io/article/breaking-news-robinhood-rebrands-as-libra---M… *Breaking News: Robinhood Rebrands as 'Libra'* SILICON VALLEY - Embroiled in the naturally malevolent evolutionary controversy of brand fakery <https://thecapital.io/article/robinhoods-brand-fake-vs-paypals-crypto-corru…> in the name of manipulating humanity, Robinhood Markets (a financial services company) rocked the brand marketing world by finally coming to its senses while vindicating Mr. Hood’s legacy. The company has distanced itself from the old Robinhood firm image of “we take advantage of our customers” with a fresh rebrand as ‘Libra.’ Celebrated humanitarian Richard Simmons applauded the name change. “Mr. Hood’s story of altruism is loved by young and old alike world-wide. Today Mr. Hood is vindicated from association to the former Robinhood’s tricky company shenanigans. The new ‘Libra’ image is a super smart act of serving our country well... I hope the all-stars at Bear Stearns will join me in congratulating the new ‘Libra’ brand,” Simmons said. *The nature and timing of the brand change raised eyebrows in New York, a recent familiar reaction to news from our pals <https://thecapital.io/article/robinhoods-brand-fake-vs-paypals-crypto-corru…> from the Valley.Gleefully contemplating the long term impact on society, this reporter touts the courage of the real Mr. Hood for opposing forces similar to that of the former Robinhood.* History will celebrate the newly minted Libra, which will be hailed for its valor in rebranding, even though it did so to escape the regulatory cloud that has hung over the Robinhood project since it first came into the public domain.

Disciplined Short Sellers Handbook (W/58 Highlights)
by Gunnar Larson 18 Nov '23

18 Nov '23

Does Short-selling Discipline Earnings Manipulation? xNY.io recently collated international graduate scholar working notes coining the "Crypto Computer Crimes Manual <https://drive.google.com/file/d/11tbgHgDg8qagomO-NBffvIFpxXKmBC3g/view?usp=…>" as per best disclosure practices to illustrate various potential scenarios when market conditions are met and a Board of Directors potentially exploits blockchain technological software innovation with forecastable reckless consequences. The Disciplined Short Sellers Handbook serves as a Manual supplement ... Detailing the hypothesis that short-selling has a disciplining role vis-à-vis the managers forcing them to reduce earning manipulation. Across 33 countries, the Handbook documents a significantly negative relationship between lending supply and activism in the short sell market and earnings manipulation. Collectively, findings suggest that short selling provides an external governance mechanism to discipline managerial incentives. xNY.io highlights that the authors of the faculty and research study confirm the main hypotheses and provide evidence of a beneficial effect of the short-selling market on the corporate market. In other words, short-selling generates a disciplining effect similar to the effect produced by the contestability of the firm in the context of M&As. In this regard, short selling contributes not only to the information environment of the market but also to the contracting institutions of the real economy. Suggesting that in general the disciplining role of short-selling is the strongest for firms with weak internal governance or less transparent information environments. We share 58 highlights to the Handbook <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLcmN5c2PJiqHYR5dy8C8qMNVyclw8lu/view?usp=…> as a disclosure technique, foreshadowing xNY.io's disciplined approach to trading in the near term (subject to regulatory scrutiny). -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001
