Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried, once hailed as the genius founder behind the meteoric rise of FTX, has made headlines again this week as he battles for his future from inside a federal prison cell. He's now two years into a 25-year sentence after a spectacular fall from crypto grace, convicted on sweeping fraud charges tied to billions in vanished customer assets. The stakes could not be higher: according to SFist, Bankman-Fried is not just appealing his conviction but, through his parents—still big names on the Stanford campus—he's trying to secure a pardon from President Donald Trump, especially after Trump pardoned competing crypto tycoon Changpeng Zhao of Binance. According to Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried has lawyered up with appellate star Alexandra Shapiro, who also represents Sean Diddy Combs in his own high-profile appeals fight, a casting twist that's pure modern irony since SBF and Diddy reportedly shared time in the same jail unit.Monday's appeal hearing in Manhattan was anything but routine, with Shapiro arguing that Judge Lewis Kaplan stacked the original trial against Bankman-Fried—purportedly ridiculing him on the stand and curtly rejecting arguments crucial to the defense, such as the role lawyers played in drafting key documents at FTX. But AP and ABC News report the three-judge panel seemed unconvinced, grilling Shapiro on whether Bankman-Fried's version of events could have meaningfully swayed the jury given what Circuit Judge Barrington Parker called "very substantial evidence" of guilt. Still, the appeal claims that the jury only heard one side of the story and that Bankman-Fried was not permitted to explain himself or present crucial context, especially when it came to differentiating between criminal intent and a temporary liquidity crisis.Even as prosecutors reminded the court that several FTX insiders—some former confidantes and even a romantic partner—testified he personally directed the cover-ups, Shapiro maintained that the picture painted by the government was misleading. She even cited data showing 98 percent of creditors have already received more than their original investment, arguing FTX's bankruptcy was not the investor-annihilating catastrophe the DOJ described.Meanwhile on social media, controversy surrounding crypto pardons continues to swirl, with Ron Filipkowski's viral post about Trump's deals and SBF's reported ideological pivot serving up a fresh round of digital outrage. Adding to the circus, podcast hosts and legal analysts are dissecting every twist in SBF's story, from his media calls from jail to the role of his parents, hoping for a Trump lifeline.For now, there's no ruling on the appeal and no official word on potential clemency. The consensus among major outlets is that Bankman-Fried's chances are slim, but as with anything in crypto's wild world, surprise headlines could drop at any moment.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Crypto News: Trump's tariffs has changed the timeline of the Bitcoin and crypto bull market. Controversy is brewing about Trump's pardon of CZ Binance after a 60 minutes interview.Brought to you by

President Trump said "I know nothing about it" when asked by Norah O'Donnell in an exclusive 60 Minutes interview about his pardon of crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao. In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti-money-laundering laws, but Zhao and his company, Binance, have ties to the Trump family's investments in cryptocurrency. The Trump family's crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, has denied any involvement in the pardon. In an interview with Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes, President Trump spoke about health care, which is at the center of the government shutdown fight. He said "we can fix" health care and blamed Democrats for the dispute over the issue and the shutdown. Democrats have said they won't vote to fully reopen the government until there's an agreement to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Once again, Israeli bombs rained down on Gaza. The latest wave of strikes killed more than 100 people, mostly women and children, according to health authorities. The bombardment marked the deadliest day since the weeks-old U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on October 10 — a ceasefire Israel has repeatedly broken with impunity.“As the Trump administration likes to say, the ceasefire is still in place. And the media has parroted that as well. But an overwhelming amount of people that we spoke to on the ground are saying that there is no ceasefire with killings being at this rate. This is a continuation of the genocide,” says Intercept reporter Jonah Valdez. Palestinians “have a very crystal-clear view of Israel's policy and their goal of wanting mass expulsion from Gaza. ... Those who are surviving it and living it are seeing through the propaganda that the ceasefire is still in place.”On The Intercept Briefing, Valdez joins host Jordan Uhl and reporter Matt Sledge to explain why President Donald Trump “has a lot to gain from continuing to tell the public that there is a ceasefire” and to discuss the news stories published on The Intercept this week.“It's important to mention this layer of hope that exists. No one wants to call the ceasefire dead prematurely because if it surviving allows for other Palestinians and Gaza to survive,” Valdez adds, “then, you know, of course they have vested interest in seeing the truce live on.”And back in the United States, Trump's pay-to-play approach to running the government continues unabated. Trump recently pardoned the billionaire crypto king, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, whose company has done business benefiting the Trump family. “Binance overnight became the biggest customer of the Trump family venture, which is called World Liberty Financial,” Sledge points out. “I think a lot of skeptics out there are saying, like, ‘Boy, this sure just looks exactly like pay to play, like quid pro quo.'”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Crypto News: JPMorgan sees Coinbase unlocking billions through its Base layer-2 network and USDC rewards overhaul and token launch. Kyrgyzstan to launch stablecoin on BNB, plans CBDC in partnership with adviser Changpeng Zhao.Brought to you by

October 26, 2025; 9am: This week, President Trump called for more of his political rivals to be prosecuted, issued a controversial pardon, and said that the Department of Justice owes him $230 million in damages, which House Democrats have now launched a probe into. Ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee Representative Jamie Raskin joins “The Weekend” to discuss House Speaker Mike Johnson's attempts to downplay Trump's request as well as Trump's pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

This Crypto Town Hall live stream centered on the recent pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) by the Trump administration, a move that has sparked debate within the crypto community and mainstream media. The goal was to unpack the political, legal, and industry ramifications of the pardon, contrast CZ's situation with figures like Sam Bankman-Fried, and examine the broader context of crypto regulation in the US. The hosts and guest speakers also explored macro issues including the impact of institutional financial innovations (like Bitcoin being used as pristine collateral), money market liquidity, and the current cycle in markets, offering a broad discussion of what's next for crypto both legally and in the wider financial landscape.

It's another massive day in markets and crypto politics. Donald Trump has shocked the world by pardoning Binance founder CZ Zhao, a move that's sending waves through Washington and the digital asset industry. Meanwhile, JPMorgan predicts the Federal Reserve will end quantitative tightening this month, potentially unleashing a flood of liquidity into risk assets — a move that could ignite the next leg of the Bitcoin bull run. At the same time, Bitcoin whales have moved over $3 billion amid surging BlackRock ETF trading volumes, signaling accelerating institutional accumulation.

President Trump demolishes the White House's East Wing to make room for his ostentatious 90,000 square foot ballroom. Jon, Dan, and Alex Wagner — host of Crooked Media's newest podcast “Runaway Country” — react to the the demolition and the latest news, including Trump's demand that the Justice Department pay him $230 million in taxpayer money, his pardon of a crypto CEO convicted of failing to report terrorist organizations who used his platform to launder money, and the latest from 2025's most important elections in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. Then, Tommy is joined by the Pipeline Fund's Denise Feriozzi to talk about building a deeper Democratic bench and why it's so important for people to run for local office.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

We open with a sobering follow-up: the future is less about AI toast (though Red Dwarf predicted it) and more about a soul-stripping "infrastructure of meaningless" after an AWS outage proved how fragile the internet is. Corporate overlords, like Elon Musk, are taking note: he finally addressed Starlink's use by Asian scam syndicates, but his attention is mostly on superintelligence, which Wozniak, Prince Harry, and 800 others want banned. Meanwhile, Meta, despite pouring $27 billion into data centers, suddenly cut 600 AI jobs, and Amazon is preparing to automate a half-million warehouse positions, offering drivers AR spy glasses and suggesting a new "Help Me Decide" AI tool to automate the exhausting micro-decision of which air fryer to buy. This dystopian fever dream peaked when Suzanne Somers' widower revealed he built a full-on robotic AI twin of the late actress. Predictably, Tesla stock tumbled, and the crypto grift continued with the pardoning of Binance founder Zhao, leaving SBF to ponder his failed check-bounce in jail.Speaking of soul-crushing, Disney's latest nostalgia raid, Tron: Ares, tanked harder than anticipated, proving not every Gen-X intellectual property is a worthy cash cow. But fear not, there's still great TV to be had: we recommend the clever dramas Slow Horses and The Diplomat Season 3, the high-stakes culinary nightmare Knives Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, and the surprisingly excellent Gen V (which you must watch before the next season of The Boys). We also got our fix with the Pluribus trailer, Bullet Train, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and the deliciously low-stakes reality shows Come Dine With Me, Hotel Costiera, and The Celebrity Traitors UK/Canada. Sadly, we must mourn the end of Food Network's The Kitchen. Yet, no matter how good the show, you still have to deal with Ticketmaster, which is still lying about "fighting bots" while cornering the secondary market.In the world of Apps & Doodads, OpenAI dropped its "Anti-Web" browser, ChatGPT Atlas (a data mule in disguise), and a new app now fakes your vacation photos (perfect for burned-out users). X is poised to sell "rare" usernames for millions (with a terrible subscription catch), while some clever hacker figured out a $60 mod to disable the privacy light on Meta's Ray-Ban spy glasses. Fellow podcast host Dave Bittner joined us to agree that the new Hall of Presidents format is better without the political posturing and confirmed the joy of old-school, purple-ink-smelling Spirit Duplicators (and we checked out a Star Wars fan film trailer for the AT THE LIBRARY section). Don't forget your Tilly Hat! Finally, R.I.P. Soft Cell's musical force Dave Ball, aged 66; the hits still hit.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, the team breaks down Trump's latest wave of corruption and chaos — from the shocking destruction of the entire East Wing of the White House and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's blatant lies to cover it up, to Trump's new pay-to-pardon scandal involving a convicted Binance founder who funneled money into Trump's own crypto company. The hosts also dig into the growing backlash from America's cattle farmers after Trump's reckless tariffs and his failed $40 billion bailout of Argentina sent their industry reeling. Plus, Speaker Mike Johnson continues to melt down under pressure as the government shutdown drags on, Michael Wolff sues Melania Trump over her attempts to silence his reporting on the Trumps and Epstein — and Ben, Brett, and Jordy expose the real-time unraveling of Trump's illegitimate regime.

The FBI arrested Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier in a sweeping gambling investigation involving the Mafia. The Athletic’s Zach Harper breaks down the case. As the shutdown continues, Republicans claim that Affordable Care Act subsidies Democrats want renewed would pay for medical care for immigrants who are living in the U.S. illegally. The Washington Post’s David Ovalle explains how the reality is much more complicated. President Trump pardoned the founder of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance. The Wall Street Journal reports that the move likely paves the way for the company to return to the U.S. after it was banned in 2023. Plus, Silicon Valley persuaded Trump to call off deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, the woman who played the clarinet during brain surgery, and what to expect as the World Series kicks off.

Today's Headlines: President Donald Trump has officially finished demolishing the East Wing of the White House — without filing any plans, naturally — to make way for a $300 million “Marie Antoinette” ballroom. He also pardoned Binance founder “CZ” Zhao, who pleaded guilty for enabling money laundering (aka crypto's whole vibe) and just happens to be a Trump donor and business partner. Meanwhile, Trump's attempt to indict Rep. Adam Schiff for mortgage fraud has stalled for lack of, well, evidence. And former special counsel Jack Smith wants to testify publicly before Congress to correct “mischaracterizations” about his Trump probes — but only if DOJ promises not to punish him. The government shutdown drags on, and SNAP benefits may not go out in November, leaving millions of families without food assistance. Over at DHS, Trump's new “election integrity” chief Heather Honey told all 50 states the 2020 election was fraudulent and hinted Trump could declare a national emergency to control future elections. Meanwhile, NBA coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat's Terry Rozier were arrested in a mafia-linked betting scandal, and a pro-MAGA crypto site that promised to “expose Charlie Kirk's murderers” vanished after scamming its donors.

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he and Jim wrap up the week by looking at the lighter side of the likely national repercussions if, as expected, Zohran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City, examine an unjustifiable pardon from President Trump, and close out by questioning the choices of an allegedly “woke” update to the musical Damn Yankees. First, Craig and Jim start off with the inverse of yesterday's bad Martini, looking at polling numbers that indicate Mamdani is exceptionally unpopular outside of New York City, even among independents and Democrats. “The results are grim for Mamdani. Among self-identified Democrats and Independents alike and among voters at large, his numbers are actually considerably worse than those of Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez, and Harris.” And let's face it, it's not easy to be less popular than Kamala Harris these days. Next, President Trump has made an unpardonable pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance,. There aren't a lot of large financial institutions that are willing to do work with al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, ransomware hackers, and kiddie-porn enthusiasts, all simultaneously; these are the kinds of guys who usually end up portrayed as the villains in Jason Statham movies. Finally, in more discussion of musical theater than you ever expected on this podcast, Craig and Jim examine a new revival of the musical Damn Yankees that adds a new racial component to the story, making the main character, Joe Boyd, take the deal because of memories of his father, “a minor league baseball player who was kept out of the major leagues because he was black.” Jim notes this undermines the musical's original theme that our family and loved ones are more important than the temptations fame and fortune, while Craig observes that the devilish seductive harlot being played by a white actress now adds an uncomfortable implication to Boyd's temptation. Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.
