C dans l'air l'invité du 11 août 2025 avec Nicolas Bouzou, économiste, directeur du cabinet d'analyses AsterèsEmission présentée par Salhia BrakhliaDans des lettres adressées vendredi aux partenaires sociaux, le Premier ministre a précisé les contours des économies visées pour 2026, avec deux chantiers : la suppression de deux jours fériés et une nouvelle réforme de l'assurance chômage. Pour les jours fériés, il s'agirait du lundi de Pâques et du 8 mai, comme annoncé le 15 juillet lors d'une conférence de presse sur le budget 2026. Les salariés travailleraient ces deux jours sans hausse de rémunération, afin de rapporter 4,2 milliards d'euros supplémentaires à l'État.Sur sa chaîne YouTube, il y a quelques jours, François Bayrou estimait que la suppression de deux jours fériés constituait « un effort acceptable » pour aider le pays à surmonter ses difficultés. Cette mesure intervient alors que, selon Eurostat, les Français travaillent déjà plus que la moyenne européenne. Les professionnels du tourisme redoutent une baisse de consommation et de fréquentation, avec un impact direct sur leur chiffre d'affaires.En parallèle, l'exécutif veut durcir dès 2026 les règles d'indemnisation du chômage pour réaliser "2 à 2,5 milliards d'euros" d'économies par an en moyenne entre 2026 et 2029, puis "a minima 4 milliards d'euros" à partir de 2030. Deux paramètres seraient modifiés : la durée minimale de travail requise et la période de référence d'affiliation, moins de six mois après l'entrée en vigueur de la dernière convention d'assurance chômage.Dans un communiqué commun publié le 9 août, la CGT, FO, CFDT, CFE-CGC et CFTC dénoncent un « saccage inadmissible » et « une attaque en règle des droits des travailleurs et travailleuses » en plein été. Les syndicats se retrouveront le 1er septembre pour préparer une mobilisation, tandis qu'à gauche comme au Rassemblement national, plusieurs voix menacent de censurer le gouvernement.Nicolas Bouzou, économiste et directeur du cabinet Asterès, fera le point sur la suppression de deux jours fériés et la réforme de l'assurance chômage envisagées par le gouvernement.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, SBC Media Managing Editor Jessica Welman is joined by International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) President and Jones Walker partner Marc Dunbar and they tackle the legal mess that is Kalshi sports contracts.Dunbar gives his tips on which courts to pay attention to and offers an idea of just how long this legal battle is going to stretch on. With four active court cases and two of those in the appeals courts, there is a lot to break down, but Dunbar clears the signal from the noise and offers his insight on what judges will focus on and why the PASPA repeal is a good case to use to benchmark expectations.Host: Jessica WelmanGuests: Marc DunbarProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: Anaya McDonaldiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

This week, we're analyzing the market's reaction to the recent Non-Farm Payrolls report, which hit our markets and has significantly increased rate cut expectations. We look ahead to the main event on the macro calendar: the Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Powell is scheduled to speak Friday morning on things including AI and the labor market, potentially setting the tone for the rest of the year. Our latest research report adds context, showing how global liquidity is expected to continue to flow into crypto through Q3 and Q4, and that long-term holders are showing strength by not selling at a loss.Another big story is the continued positive shift in the U.S. regulatory landscape. We provide a deep dive into the SEC's new "Project Crypto," an initiative designed to modernize securities regulation, transition U.S. financial markets to a blockchain-based infrastructure, and, crucially, clarify that most digital assets are not securities—a dramatic move away from the previous "regulation-by-enforcement" era. This is complemented by the CFTC's "Crypto Sprint" to regulate spot markets and a proposed White House tax update that would align the taxation of mined bitcoin with gold.In market structure, we cover the latest Digital Asset Trust (DAT) updates, including large purchases in SOL and ETH, and discuss how investor equity unlocks can affect market pressure. We also provide a quick update on the ETH staking queue.Finally, we have a series of massive real-world adoption announcements from Coinbase. The exchange is joining forces with JPMorgan Chase to make it even easier for customers to access crypto. Additionally, Coinbase has expanded its PayPal integration to Canada and will be rolling out Samsung Pay as a payment and deposit option for users in the United States and Canada.Topics Covered:Macro Outlook:Post-NFP analysis and increased rate cut expectations.What to watch for at the Jackson Hole symposium and from Powell's speech.Insights from our research on global liquidity (M2) and BTC valuation.The Regulatory Revolution:A deep dive into the SEC's "Project Crypto" and its goal to clarify asset classifications.The CFTC's "Crypto Sprint" for regulating spot markets.The proposed White House tax update for bitcoin miners.Market & On-Chain Dynamics:Digital Asset Trust (DAT) updates: large purchases and investor unlock pressures.An update on the Ethereum staking queue.Coinbase & TradFi Integration:The new partnership between Coinbase and JPMorgan ChaseExpansion of PayPal buy/sell functionality to CanadaIntegration of Samsung Pay in the US and CanadaCB ResearchBitcoin, Liquidity, and Macro CrossroadsSpeakers:Ben Floyd, Head of Execution ServicesDavid Duong, Global Head of ResearchColin Basco, Institutional Research

This Day in Legal History: Patent Office OpenedOn this day in legal history, July 31, 1790, the United States issued its first patent under the newly created Patent Act of 1790. The inaugural patent was granted to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont for a process of making potash, an essential industrial chemical used in soap and fertilizer production. Signed by President George Washington, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph, this first patent reflected the constitutional mandate to “promote the progress of science and useful arts.”The Patent Act established a system that allowed inventors to secure exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited time, fostering a culture of innovation. Unlike today's process, early patents required a review by a board of Cabinet-level officials and carried no numbering system—Hopkins' patent is only retroactively considered Patent No. 1.This moment marked the beginning of formal intellectual property protection in the U.S., setting the foundation for one of the world's most robust patent systems. The legal infrastructure created that year would evolve into the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, playing a central role in industrial and technological development over the next two centuries. It was a clear sign of the young republic's commitment to innovation through legal means.A White House report released Wednesday by President Trump's crypto working group calls for swift regulatory action on digital assets. The administration urged Congress to pass a comprehensive crypto bill, such as the Clarity Act, while advocating for key additions. These include allowing platforms to both trade and hold crypto, and tailoring disclosure requirements for crypto securities. The report also recommends giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) authority over crypto spot markets and embracing decentralized finance technologies.In addition to legislative suggestions, the White House wants the SEC and CFTC to act under their current powers to enable federal-level trading of digital assets. The report promotes using tools like safe harbors and regulatory sandboxes to accelerate access to new financial products, including tokenized assets like real estate and stocks. This approach reflects Trump's broader campaign promise to foster crypto innovation, in sharp contrast to the Biden administration's enforcement-heavy stance, which included lawsuits against major exchanges that have since been dropped.Despite concerns over potential conflicts of interest—given Trump's family's crypto ventures and his personal stake in a crypto platform—the administration has denied any impropriety. The report's findings could significantly shape the direction of ongoing legislative negotiations and regulatory frameworks.White House in crypto policy report calls for SEC action, new legislation | ReutersA proposed budget from the U.S. House of Representatives threatens major cuts to the federal public defense system, according to a July 25 memo from Judge Robert Conrad, director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. If enacted, the judiciary warns it may be forced to eliminate more than 600 positions in the Defender Services program or delay payments to court-appointed defense attorneys by over two months—potentially the longest such delay ever.The $8.9 billion budget plan advanced by the House Appropriations Committee's financial services subcommittee increases overall judiciary funding by 3.5%, but it still falls significantly short of what the courts requested. Specifically, the $1.57 billion allocated to Defender Services is $196 million less than needed, despite being an 8.2% increase from the previous year. This shortfall could impair the judiciary's ability to meet its constitutional obligations under Gideon v. Wainwright, which requires that indigent criminal defendants receive legal representation.The judiciary is also currently experiencing a funding gap that has already caused a three-month delay in payments to Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel attorneys. Without additional funding, the delay could extend to 77 days next year, further weakening the public defense infrastructure. The judiciary has asked for $116 million in supplemental funding to stabilize the program.The full House Appropriations Committee is not expected to take up the bill until September, and the Senate has not yet released its version.US House budget threatens over 600 public defender jobs, judiciary warns | ReutersUber is facing a pivotal legal challenge in California state court over its responsibility to protect riders from sexual assault by its drivers. A hearing before Judge Ethan Schulman will determine whether hundreds of consolidated cases move forward as bellwether jury trials this fall. These cases center on whether Uber should be liable for assaults allegedly committed by drivers who, plaintiffs argue, exploited Uber's lack of mandatory training, in-vehicle cameras, or stricter vetting.Uber defends itself by claiming drivers are independent contractors and that criminal behavior is unforeseeable, not the company's legal responsibility. It points to safety measures like GPS tracking and background checks as fulfilling its obligations. However, plaintiffs argue that Uber promoted itself as a safe alternative for intoxicated riders and should be held to the higher duty of care expected of a “common carrier,” similar to taxi services.A central legal issue is whether Uber's conduct constitutes misfeasance—actively creating risk—or nonfeasance—failing to prevent harm. Under California law, a company with a “special relationship” with its customers, like a common carrier, must exercise “utmost care.” A federal judge has already ruled that Uber qualifies as a common carrier in related litigation.Uber's broader legal strategy has included challenging consolidated suits through the Ninth Circuit and supporting a Nevada ballot measure to limit plaintiffs' attorneys' fees—both of which failed. Legal experts note Uber faces an uphill battle, as courts are increasingly viewing ride-hailing platforms as more than passive intermediaries.Uber's Legal Duty to Riders at Forefront of Mass Assault CasesEric Tung, President Trump's nominee for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, defended controversial past remarks on gender roles during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Democratic senators, particularly Alex Padilla and Dick Durbin, pressed Tung over statements he made as a Yale undergraduate in 2004, where he criticized radical feminists and asserted that gender roles support institutions like marriage. Padilla called the comments “reprehensible,” while Durbin challenged Tung's recent views as expressed at a Federalist Society event, where Tung appeared to reject constitutional protections for abortion, same-sex marriage, and private sexual conduct.Tung explained that his undergraduate comments were based on his belief at the time that men and women had complementary roles and that the family should be strengthened. He noted that his wife has had a distinguished professional and political career, arguing she excels in many areas. Though he affirmed that Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage, is binding precedent, he declined to discuss his personal views on gender roles, citing potential future cases.Tung, a former clerk for Justices Scalia and Gorsuch and a partner at Jones Day, emphasized his originalist and textualist judicial philosophy. Despite strong backing from Republicans on the panel, Democrats criticized his ideological leanings and questioned his fitness for a lifetime appointment to the influential appellate court.Trump appellate court nominee defends comments on 'gender roles' | Reuters This is a public episode.

It's a Crypto Bonanza today we we discuss the new Clarity Act and how it impacts digital currencies. We also chat about the emotional and financial rollercoaster of buying a home in today's market, as Kirk shares about falling in love with a house—only to walk away after discovering many issues the sellers failed to disclose. We talk about how the cost to buy is now far above the cost to rent in many areasb and how sellers are increasingly unwilling to drop prices—even as supply builds and interest rates stay high. We also dig into how real estate, while deeply emotional, ultimately comes down to math, and why renting may still make more sense...  Wee discuss...  The cost to buy a home is currently much higher than the cost to rent, especially in higher-priced markets. Emotional attachment often causes sellers to keep unrealistic home prices despite market shifts. Many markets are seeing a growing supply of homes and longer times on market, leading to price pressures. Real estate equity is a major source of wealth but is difficult to access without selling or borrowing. Sellers tend to suppress or avoid disclosing problems to preserve home value, increasing risk for buyers. Inflation-adjusted home prices show 2025 prices are very high, but official inflation numbers may understate true inflation. Buying a home is often an emotional and personal decision rather than a purely financial investment. Renting can be mathematically cheaper, but many still desire homeownership for personal reasons.  The Clarity Act aims to define regulatory authority over digital assets between the CFTC and SEC, though it hasn't passed yet. Regulation is viewed positively if it prevents fraud without overly restricting innovation in crypto. The banking sector may resist crypto innovation due to potential threats to their traditional business models. Concerns were expressed about government overreach via CBDCs that could control or monitor personal spending. Despite risks, the government already has many tools to combat financial crime without needing intrusive surveillance. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have risen recently, prompting some profit-taking but maintaining belief in long-term value. MicroStrategy pivoted to Bitcoin investment after years of flat or breakeven performance, using debt and financial engineering to buy more Bitcoin. The history of MicroStrategy's CEO includes a past SEC investigation and company struggles before embracing Bitcoin. The line between genius and stupidity can sometimes be just dumb luck. MicroStrategy's strategy resembles a Ponzi scheme by relying on new money to pay returns and leveraging debt to buy Bitcoin. If Bitcoin crashes, the company faces margin calls and financial stress due to heavy debt.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/crypto-bonanza-733

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew breaks down the return of the ICO — but with a twist. Pump.fun's $500 million token sale sells out in 12 minutes, sparking a heated debate about forward markets, new market structure design, and whether we've entered a smarter, more institutionalized fundraising era—or just rebranded 2017 chaos. Hyperliquid becomes the surprise king of pre-launch liquidity, exchanges buckle under demand, and a new class of crypto treasury vehicles raises eyebrows (and capital). Meanwhile, Trump declares “Crypto Week” as Congress moves forward with the most sweeping legislation the industry's seen in years. Is crypto finally growing up—or just getting better at dumping on retail? The gang dissects the narratives, the numbers, and the fallout.

Crypto Week in Washington is heating up and so is the market! On today's episode I, RA George, break down everything you need to know:✅ U.S. House Voting – Crypto Bills: 3 key acts in play — GENIUS Act (stablecoin rules), CLARITY Act (defining SEC vs. CFTC), and the Anti‑CBDC Act to stop a Federal Reserve surveillance coin. The drama? 210 Democrats voted NO on Anti‑CBDC while only three — Mary Peltola, Marie Perez, and Jared Golden — backed it. After a messy Tuesday vote, Trump pressure flipped GOP votes on Wednesday and now the GENIUS Act is heading for a full vote with the others to follow.

Congressman French Hill, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, joined me to discuss the upcoming Crypto Week, during which the House will vote on the Stablecoin and Crypto Market Structure bills, as well as the anti-CBDC legislation.Topics: - What is Crypto Week - Genius Act Stablecoin Bill - Clarity Act Market Structure Bill - AntiCBDC Bill - Implications of Stablecoin legislation passing - Crypto tax policy Show Sponsor -

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next. Show highlights

In this series of three interviews from Cannes, we host Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, Johann Kerbrat, GM of Crypto at Robinhood, and AJ Warner from Arbitrum to explore key announcements from their recent Token Summit. They discuss the introduction of tokenized stock options for private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, aiming to democratize access for retail investors. Vlad highlights Robinhood's commitment to addressing investment inequities, while Johann shares insights on the technological challenges and their Layer 2 blockchain initiative facilitating 24/7 trading. They also navigate the regulatory landscape with the SEC and CFTC, envisioning a future where private shares become accessible and entrepreneurial capital raising is enhanced. The conversation wraps up with plans to improve user experience for new financial products in Robinhood's evolving crypto offerings. ------

C dans l'air l'invité du 30 juin 2025 avec Michaël Zemmour, enseignant-chercheur à l'université Lumière Lyon-II et économiste au laboratoire d'évaluation des politiques publiques de Sciences-Po.Jeudi, le Premier ministre François Bayrou a énuméré devant la presse les "avancées" permises par les négociations sur les retraites qui pourraient être reprises dans un budget à l'automne. Les syndicats et le patronat réunis en "conclave" n'ont pas trouvé d'accord global sur les retraites, mais ils ont dégagé des compromis sur plusieurs points. Et, vendredi, la CFDT a refusé, à l'instar de la CFTC et de la CFE-CGC, de jouer les prolongations, comme l'avait proposé le Premier ministre la veille.Aujourd'hui dans les Echos, l'ancien Premier ministre Gabriel Attal a dit vouloir en finir avec l'âge de départ unique, une norme devenue inutile selon lui. Le départ à la retraite ne se fixerait que sur la base de la durée de cotisation. Un système financé par une dose de capitalisation : chacun met de côté pour sa future retraite plutôt que de financer celle des retraités actuels. Édouard Philippe lui aussi a vanté les mérites de la capitalisation il y a quelques semaines, et dévoilait aussi les contours de sa réforme des retraites qu'il proposera pour 2027. Alors comment financer durablement notre système de retraites, dont le déficit devrait atteindre près de 15 milliards d'euros en 2035 selon la Cour des comptes ? Michaël Zemmour, enseignant-chercheur à l'université Lumière Lyon-II et économiste au laboratoire d'évaluation des politiques publiques de Sciences-Po, est notre invité.

Les discussions au sein de ce conclave, qui réunissait le Medef, la CPME (Confédération des petites et moyennes entreprises), la CFDT, la CFE-CGC et la CFTC, visaient à adoucir l'impopularité de la réforme Borne de 2023, qui a relevé l'âge légal de départ à la retraite de 62 à 64 ans. Au-delà des considérations sociales, l'objectif était également d'assurer la pérennité financière d'un système qui anticipe un déficit de 6,6 milliards d'euros en 2030. Pour les organisations patronales, toute concession sur la pénibilité devait s'inscrire dans un cadre garantissant cet équilibre, tandis que les syndicats insistaient sur la nécessité de compenser les carrières hachées et les impacts physiques des métiers les plus exigeants. Sur la question de l'âge, sujet sensible de la réforme Borne, l'hypothèse d'un retour de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite à 62 ans avait pourtant été enterrée par les syndicats. Dans le texte rédigé par l'animateur des débats, les représentants de salariés avaient obtenu le recul de l'âge de la décote (celui à partir duquel les assurés ont droit à une pension à taux plein, même s'ils n'ont pas le nombre de trimestres requis pour y être éligibles) à 66 ans et demi (contre 67 ans aujourd'hui).Selon l'étude Elabe réalisée pour l'Association française de la gestion financière (AFG) dévoilée mardi, les ménages semblent prêts à une vraie évolution du système : 47 % des Français se déclarent en faveur de la généralisation de plans d'épargne retraite par capitalisation en complément du système de retraite par répartition. Les « cadres » sont favorables à cette idée à 65 %, tout comme les ménages avec « une forte capacité d'épargne » à 64 % et les « investisseurs » à 56 %. Seules 18 % des personnes interrogées se montrent réfractaires à l'idée. L'enjeu financier des retraites est considérable : les pensions représentent près de 14% du PIB, 40% de la dépense sociale et un quart de la dépense publique. Le Conseil d'orientation des retraites indique, dans son rapport de juin, que l'évolution des dépenses de retraites « explique à elle seule une grande partie de la progression des dépenses publiques depuis 2002 ». Si le pays peine à financer ses services publics, c'est parce qu'il a préféré ses retraites alors que les évolutions démographiques ont bouleversé l'équilibre : il n'y a plus que 1,7 actif pour 1 retraité, tandis que le ratio était de 4 pour 1 en 1950. Le COR en tire la conclusion qu'il faudra reculer encore l'âge de la retraite.Mercredi, François Bayrou a affirmé que le conclave n'était « pas un échec » et présenté jeudi le résultat des discussions après avoir « tranché » sur« les désaccords ».LA GUERRE USA-IRAN L'attaque américaine, menée dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche derniers sur l'Iran, a été « intentionnellement limitée » à des cibles nucléaires et ne visait pas un changement de régime, a déclaré dimanche le Pentagone. Avec l'opération Midnight Hammer (Marteau de minuit), Donald Trump a exploité une fenêtre d'opportunité après qu'Israël a presque réduit à néant les alliés régionaux de l'Iran (Hamas, Hezbollah) puis les défenses iraniennes. S'il proclame toujours vouloir la paix, Donald Trump n'hésite pas dégainer. Il l'avait fait à trois reprises au cours de son premier mandat : contre la Syrie, après des attaques chimiques, en avril 2017 puis en avril 2018, enfin en ordonnant un assassinat ciblé à Bagdad contre le général iranien Soleimani, chef des forces spéciales des Gardiens de la Révolution, en janvier 2020. Toutefois, jusqu'à dimanche, il s'agissait d'opérations limitées.Dimanche, le président américain a annoncé que les trois sites de Natanz, Fordo et Ispahan avaient été « totalement anéantis ». Une affirmation difficile à confirmer, les cibles étant souterraines. Le général Dan Caine, chef d'état-major des armées américaines s'est montré plus prudent, comme le vice-président JD Vance. Selon les « premières évaluations du champ de bataille », a dit le soldat, les sites visés ont subi « de sévères dommages et destructions ». Un document classé confidentiel du renseignement américain, relayé par CNN et le New York Times, suggère que les frappes américaines sur l'Iran auraient retardé son programme nucléaire de seulement quelques mois, sans le détruire complètement. Jeudi, l'ayatollah Khamenei a affirmé que Donald Trump a « exagéré » l'impact des frappes américaines sur le territoire iranien.En représailles, lundi, l'Iran a attaqué la base aérienne américaine d'Al-Udeid, au Qatar. Treize missiles ont été interceptés sans difficulté selon l'armée, tandis qu'un autre s'écrasait sans dégâts. La base, qui en temps normal accueille près de 10 000 soldats, était très largement dépeuplée. Pour Téhéran, « la priorité était de retrouver les voies de la négociation afin de sauver le régime », estime le chercheur Bernard Hourcade, spécialiste de la République islamique. Selon lui, « les dirigeants iraniens ne voulaient pas couper les ponts avec Donald Trump, car ils savent que c'est lui qui peut arrêter la guerre avec Israël ». Via le Qatar et probablement Oman, Téhéran avait averti les États-Unis de ses tirs de missiles contre la base aérienne américaine, afin qu'il n'y ait pas de victimes. Ce fut le cas.Mardi, Israël et l'Iran ont déclaré accepter l'initiative américaine de cessez-le-feu.Tandis que les membres de l'administration Trump revendiquent une réussite totale, les questions s'accumulent sur le sort des quelque 400 kg d'uranium hautement enrichi dont disposait l'Iran. Cette question sera au centre des négociations qui devraient s'ouvrir prochainement entre l'Iran et les Occidentaux, via l'Agence internationale à l'énergie atomique (l'AIEA), dans l'espoir de tourner durablement la page de la guerre.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

EPISODE 86 DETAILS Agridime Order To Pay Millions In Cattle Ponzi Scheme A Texas federal court has issued a final judgment against Agridime LLC, a Fort Worth-based company, permanently banning it from commodity trading. The ruling also mandates the company to pay more than $102.9 million in restitution to defrauded customers, according to recent court documents. CFTC Alleges $161 Million Cattle Investment Fraud The final judgment stems from a May 2024 complaint filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC alleged that Agridime, along with co-founders Joshua Link and Jed Wood, orchestrated a cattle investment scheme that defrauded over 2,000 individuals out of approximately $161 million. According to the CFTC, Agridime falsely marketed cattle investment opportunities by promising annual returns between 15% and 32% on $2,000 cattle purchases. The company allegedly used funds from new customers to pay existing investors, a structure that resembles a classic Ponzi scheme. Insider Commissions and Misuse of Funds Revealed The court filings also revealed that Agridime insiders diverted approximately $11 million in undisclosed commissions. These insider payments were never disclosed to investors, contributing further to the scheme's deception and financial harm to participants. Agridime Settles Case Without Admitting or Denying Allegations Agridime LLC settled the case with the CFTC without admitting or denying the allegations.
