In this episode, we break down how crypto markets are showing renewed strength as Bitcoin and Ethereum erase most of June's losses, and crypto ETFs snap their longest losing streak on record. Around the globe, momentum continues to build as Japan, the UK, and Bolivia advance initiatives that could further accelerate digital asset adoption. We also explore how Cantor Fitzgerald and Securitize are bringing IPOs onchain, highlighting the growing convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Finally, we dive into Nous Research's reported $75 million fundraising round at a $1.5 billion valuation and what its expanding Hermes AI agent platform could mean for the next wave of artificial intelligence innovation.

British whistleblower Simon Andriesz uncovered evidence in the publicly released Epstein records suggesting that Howard Lutnick, now the United States commerce secretary, had a more substantial business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than Lutnick had previously acknowledged. Andriesz, a former managing director at Lutnick's Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, found a 2018 email exchange in which Lutnick personally updated Epstein about Adfin, a digital-advertising company in which companies controlled by both men had acquired stakes in 2012. The correspondence indicated that the two remained in direct communication years after Lutnick claimed he had effectively cut Epstein out of his life.Andriesz provided his findings to American lawmakers before Lutnick appeared at a congressional hearing in May, believing the documents raised serious questions about whether Lutnick had fully disclosed the nature and duration of his Epstein connection. Lutnick has maintained that he did not initially know Epstein was also invested in Adfin and has characterized their interactions as limited, but the records show that the two were involved in the same business venture and were still discussing its performance in 2018. Andriesz expressed frustration that evidence involving such a powerful government official appeared to generate little interest, despite the broader public demand for transparency concerning Epstein's financial relationships and the influential people surrounding him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How US commerce secretary's Epstein links were uncovered by British whistleblowerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bitcoin rebounds after hitting a fresh 21-month low, below its 200-week moving average — but underneath the panic, whales just made THE LARGEST single Bitcoin accumulation spike EVER recorded on chain: 270,000 BTC scooped up at $59K, bigger than the COVID bottom (150K) and the FTX bottom. Cantor Fitzgerald says the bear market is entering its FINAL stretch, projecting a late October bottom based on historical cycles. Metaplanet added 2,823 BTC to push its stack past 43,000. Robinhood just went 24/5 as DTCC's new 24x5 clearing goes live — Wall Street is officially catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality. Meanwhile the biggest stablecoin launch in history just dropped: 140+ giants — BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Amex, Google, Coinbase, Ripple — launched Open USD (OUSD), a USDC killer that crashed Circle stock 15% overnight. Add June's brutal Marubozu candle (worst month since June 2022), Fed rate HIKE fears from Kevin Warsh, Strategy's $1.25 BILLION sell authorization, and Trump's disclosed $1.4 BILLION in 2025 crypto earnings blowing up Clarity Act ethics negotiations — and we break down whether smart money just called the bottom, or if this is a whale trap before the next leg lower.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Chip stocks posted their best quarter ever, extending an extraordinary start to the year driven by insatiable demand for artificial intelligence equipment. But after recent jitters sent the stocks tumbling, investors are wondering how much further the rally can go. "The story of the past six months is the market going all-in on AI infrastructure, but now people are asking if this is sustainable and if we should be worried," said CJ Muse, senior managing director and technology analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index jumped 3.9% on Tuesday to bring its second-quarter gain to 88%, its best quarter ever. It soared 101% in the first half, putting it on track for its best year in its history. In contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 28% in the second quarter, while the S&P 500 Index rose 15%. It was both of their best quarters since 2020, but the performances were dwarfed by the surge in chip stocks. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. Plus - The yen traded around 162.65 per dollar after falling to a 40-year low this week. The currency's slide to a four-decade low against the dollar left traders eyeing Japan's next intervention threshold. After the currency weakened past the 162 per dollar level on Tuesday, strategists increasingly pointed to 163 and beyond, arguing the Finance Ministry may tolerate a weaker yen than it did in 2024. Bloomberg TV hosts Yvonne Man and Avril Hong spoke to Christopher Wong, Executive Director and FX Strategist at OCBC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 39, (or, “The one where they all went to market”). It's that quarterly time, so Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) joins Danny for a review and analysis of the Q1 2026 public 3DP/AM company earnings. Episode 39 opens with a nod to the recent spate of positive financings and M&A outcomes for 3DP/AM companies. Danny and Troy review the reasons for this, but they are sure to curb their enthusiasm as a mega-IPO cycle is imminent which could dry up liquidity for smaller players such as…all 3DP/AM companies! Next, to the heart of things. Danny and Troy analyze the Q1 2026 reports for Stratasys (SSYS), 3D Systems (DDD), Velo3D (VELO), Materialise (MTLS), Xometry (XMTR) and Protolabs (PRLB). Included in the analysis is coverage of many of these firms' significant financings or transactions. Tune in for analysis of Stratasys' Markforged acquisition, 3D Systems' cash raise, Velo's cash raise, Xometry's cash raise, Materialise's stock buyback, and more. The public markets 3DP/AM players are in a better place, with stronger balance sheets and increased optionality. Good times may indeed be ahead, but smart Additive Manufacturing Strategies will be needed to execute properly and deliver value. Please enjoy Episode 39 and check out our previous episodes too.

Four years ago, almost to the day of recording, Oliver Bullough was a guest on this show for the first time to discuss his concept of 'Moneyland'. This borderless virtual country where the wealthy go to keep their wealth beyond the reach of any government, any tax office, any voter. Between then and now, I've maintained interest on this thread. Nicholas Shaxson discussed on the pod the cancerous plumbing of the offshore world in Treasure Islands. John Christensen showed how that plumbing quietly corrodes culture and politics. Bill Browder shows where the abstraction becomes violence. Nathan Lynch showed how Australia is every bit as dirty as anywhere else, and Matt Friedman, just a few weeks ago, put a number on the human end of it: $236 billion a year in illicit profit from modern slavery.Oliver's latest book is Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won. His argument is bleak, precise, and very hard to wave away. We have spent decades and roughly $200 billion a year building an anti-money-laundering fortress, and by the best available estimates the share of the world economy being laundered hasn't moved since the 1990s. We get into why governments have failed so completely at this one. We follow the money where it actually goes: not just through banks, but through cash (central banks printing $100 bills faster than they can build factories), through crypto and stablecoins, and through the oldest trick of all — value hidden inside shipments of used cars, watches, oil, grain, the way the Medici did it in Florence. We talk about the scam compounds of Southeast Asia, where trafficked people are tortured into defrauding pensioners on the other side of the world, and how that horror connects — directly, traceably — to the very top of global power, through Tether, Cantor Fitzgerald, and a US Commerce Secretary's family.And underneath all of it, the real subject: the relationship between money and power, and what happens to democracy when the two become the same thing. Oliver's "offshore bandits" — elites who loot their own countries while living and banking somewhere else, feeling none of the consequences — are a darker upgrade on Mancur Olson's stationary bandit. It's a Moneyland story, and it's spreading.There are lighter turns too — Wright Patman, the forgotten Texan congressman who fathered anti-money-laundering law; Peter Pomerantsev and the propaganda war; Bill Browder before he was Bill Browder; and an unexpectedly lyrical detour to the walnut forests and white mountains of Kyrgyzstan.Oliver Bullough...Links Oliver Bullough BooksCurious Worldview SubstackPodcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersLeave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)

Die Wall Street startet uneinheitlich und kaum verändert in den Handel. Belastend wirkt der Anstieg der Ölpreise, mit Brent über 108 US-Dollar, der durch die stockenden Friedensgespräche zwischen den USA und Iran und die Lage rund um die Straße von Hormus angefacht wird. Dennoch bleibt die Grundstimmung am US-Aktienmarkt stabil, da Investoren trotz der Rückschläge weiterhin auf eine diplomatische Lösung im Nahen Osten setzen. Damit bleibt die Berichtssaison im Fokus. Etwa 40 Prozent der Firmen im S&P 500 werden diese Woche Quartalszahlen vorlegen, darunter Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet und Meta. Somit bleiben KI-Monetarisierung, Cloud-Wachstum und digitale Werbung im Mittelpunkt.

Die Analysten von Cantor gehen davon aus, dass die Quartalszahlen und Aussichten die Erwartungen der Wall Street schlagen werden. Gleiches erwarten die Analysten für Western Digital. Hier werden die Kursziele von der Bank of America auf 495 US-Dollar, und von Cantor Fitzgerald auf 500 US-Dollar angehoben. Die vor dem Opening gemeldeten Zahlen fallen gemischt aus. Domino's Pizza verfehlt die Erwartungen bei Umsatz und vergleichbaren Filialumsätzen und verweist auf ein insgesamt schwierigeres Umfeld, während Verizon beim Gewinn positiv überrascht und sogar den Ausblick anhebt.

This week, the whole crew is back for another Roundtable. I sat down with Mechanic, Steve, and Jeff to talk about the painful reality of Bitcoin mining today, the chaos of global politics, and some wild stories about corporate power plays. We started by looking at why mining is under so much pressure right now. The industry is getting a brutal and much-needed reality check. Fiat-fueled operations are feeling the squeeze, and it's a reminder that if you aren't building on a foundation of hard money and efficiency, the market will eventually push you out. We also couldn't avoid the latest controversy surrounding Swan Bitcoin and the bizarre, high-stakes fallout involving Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald. Was this a calculated rug pull or just the ugly reality of trying to scale in a corporate world that's already been bought and paid for? We break down what this really means for the future of Bitcoin.

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 37. Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) returns for his quarterly analysis of the public company earnings reports, specifically Q4 2025. Nowadays, in terms of significant publicly traded 3DP/AM pure plays, that's not so many, so Troy fine-tunes his approach in including public-related coverage of the privates. Episode 37 starts off with a summary look at 2025 and an enthusiastic nod to the beginning of 2026, as seen through the lens of AMS last month in NYC. Sadly, both Danny and Troy were unable to attend AMS due to the blizzard (remember that?), but they both got to watch the livestream from main keynote Yoav Zeif (CEO, Stratasys), and they both heard plenty from those who did attend. Next, Danny and Troy consider a number of bullish indicators across the 3DP/AM industry. They start with metal AM, highlighting positive acquisition outcomes, excellent performance outlooks from industrial leaders and lower cost upstarts alike, and also including some VC and strategic financings. There's also reason for optimism in polymers, with a potentially promising IPO pipeline from the likes of Formlabs and Carbon. Then, Troy and Danny dive into the 3DP/AM public company earnings reports for Q4 2025. SSYS, DDD, MTLS, and VELO all offer unique upside and also face their own challenges. Printing Money synthesizes it all. Could the likes of EOS, VELO, and SSYS be on the acquisition trail? Please enjoy Episode 37 and check out our previous episodes too.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 34, or “The one where they got back ahead of the curve.” Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) returns for back-to-back appearances in the name of delivering to you, the listener, analysis as timely as possible. Herein, Danny and Troy review Q3 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings, but this episode was recorded just a week after Formnext 2025, so the conversation starts with a review of the 3DP/AM industry's largest annual tradeshow. Large format polymer, LPBF Metals, China, Defense, Aerospace, and High-Temp FFF are all keywords. Next comes the classical Q3 2025 analysis. The number of significant pureplay public 3DP/AM firms has gotten smaller, and with Nano Dimension (NNDM) currently in limbo, its earnings become less relevant and the number is even smaller. Stratasys' entrance into metal AM, 3D Systems' healthcare and defense segments, scaling manufacturing at Materialise, and gross margins at Velo all get due coverage. Happy holiday season, and please enjoy Episode 34 and check out our previous episodes too. This episode was recorded December 2, 2025.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

David Waldman and KITM are back to begin the month that will most likely end with a government shutdown, which sounds bad only if you consider what we have now to be better than nothing. Donald K. Trump cancelled $4.9B in foreign aid under the Presidential “Taksies Backsies” Rule. Many say that he can't do that. Only 5 are actually required to say that he can do that. Trump says that he captured $8 Trillion in tariff revenue, which would have been much bigger had he'd been able to pronounce the names of numbers bigger than a trillion. Trump also stated that Washington DC is crime free and that he's never felt better. That's why the stock market doesn't seem to mind. Things are never what Trump says, he'll always TACO, and there'll always be somebody in the Fed to protect them. US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick has nepo babied investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which has his sons become richer with every TACO Trump serves. RFK Jr. knows mitochondria like Trump knows blockchain, in that they know that their ignorance will only kill you.
A new Senate Probe is focused on whether Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick— the architect of the Tariff scheme— violated insider trading laws and other securities law violations along with his sons and their family business Cantor Fitzgerald, when that company reportedly set up a business to profit on the Trump Tariffs being STRUCK DOWN by a Court.
