This is a "disgraced crypto CEO?"

[Seymour Flops]

She looks like a nerdy Junior High schooler.

Disgraced Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison talked about “regular amphetamine use” in an April 2021 Twitter thread — more than one year before the FTX-linked crypto hedge fund imploded.

Ellison, the close business associate and confirmed ex-girlfriend of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, has been under intense scrutiny since Alameda and other FTX Group-linked entities filed for bankruptcy last week after running out of cash.

“Nothing like regular amphetamine use to make you appreciate how dumb a lot of normal, non-medicated human experience is,” Ellison said in the tweet dated April 5, 2021.

Hard to believe that the Dems found major donors worse than George Soros, but damned if every time I think they have hit rock bottom, they don't get out a jack hammer and show how low they can go.

Wow. When I first saw her face, I thought it was a cartoon.
I imagine if a beaver banged a turtle. this is what the offspring would look like.

Someone put that in charge of a multi-billion dollar UNiparty slush fund?
I guess if we have a dementia victim in a dirty diaper creeping around, claiming to be president, anything is possible now

You should see what the FTX guy looks like pure trash

 

[georgephillip]

What does FTX have in common with the Fed and Wall Street banks?

FTX Was Creating Money Out of Thin Air Like the Fed; and Trading Its Own “Stock” Like the Wall Street Mega Banks in their Dark Pools

"If one looks very closely at the structure of FTX, the collapsed crypto exchange now in bankruptcy and causing everything it touched to teeter, it was actually using a technique of the U.S. central bank – the Fed – to create money out of thin air; and a technique we’ve been writing about repeatedly since 2014, Wall Street mega banks trading their own stocks in their own Dark Pools, effectively making a market in their own stock."

You CT lovers want the Crypto...... Cartoon Money.

An Introduction to Dark Pools

"Dark pools are private exchanges for trading securities that are not accessible by the investing public.

"Also known as 'dark pools of liquidity,' the name of these exchanges is a reference to their complete lack of transparency.

"Dark pools came about primarily to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain adverse prices for their trades."

"Also known as 'dark pools of liquidity,' the name of these exchanges is a reference to their complete lack of transparency.

"Dark pools came about primarily to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain adverse prices for their trades."

In fact, all institutional trading is block trading, on or off the market. Trading by consumer investors, in small number of shares called "odd-lots", incurs larger fees.

Large institutional trades (between traders) of millions of shares, if conducted on the open market, could adversely affect prices for small investors. Trades outside of the market do not influence market prices.

Trading between traders off market has the advantage allowing an institutional investor to not have to break up his trade into blocks for trade on the open market. The disadvantage for the trader is that because it's not a market trade, the buyer, not the market, determine the price and the trader may pay a premium.

And, BTW, all "Dark Pools" are registered with the SEC.

 

[georgephillip]

So what?

"Dark pools are sometimes cast in an unfavorable light but they serve a purpose by allowing large trades to proceed without affecting the wider market.

"However, their lack of transparency makes them vulnerable to potential conflicts of interest by their owners and predatory trading practices by some high-frequency traders."

Who are Institutional Investors anyway?

Are they huge, greedy, mega-banks that foreclose on widows and orphans while having massive cocaine parties in their boardrooms?

Yes, in some cases. But, they are also:

The pension funds for millions of Americans. Pension funds make up the bulk of institutional investors.
Retail investment firms through which most Americans conduct their personal investing
Your local bank and credit union
Every major private university in the country.
Insurance companies.
and The US Government.

Most Americans would lead a much poorer life without them.

Do you have an opinion on federally-insured Crypto bank failures?

Brace Yourself for Federally-Insured Bank Failures Caused by Crypto

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: August 1, 2022

"Senator Elizabeth Warren

"Last Thursday, during a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren apparently grabbed the attention of federal regulators when she stated that Voyager, the crypto platform that filed for bankruptcy protection in early July, was promoting itself as being FDIC-insured.

"FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is the federal agency that oversees federal deposit insurance for the nation’s regulated banks and savings associations."

That had nothing to do with dark pools.

Right.
It had to do with Wall Street corruption.
