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. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to: Permanent injunctive relief Waiver of its right to appeal A permanent ban from commodity trading Prohibition on soliciting investment funds or acting in any CFTC-registered capacity A ban on publicly denying the CFTC's allegations The company must also ensure that all employees and agents comply with the judgment's terms. Agridime Banned from Commodity Markets for Good With the court's final ruling, Agridime is permanently banned from participating in any form of commodity trading. This includes solicitation of funds, registration with the CFTC, and any related investment activity. The CFTC emphasized that the company's future conduct will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.

Jessica Welman is back in the host's chair for today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, for a discussion on a constantly developing topic. Joined as always by Charlie Horner, Jess is back to her favourite topic in the world, event contracts and Kalshi. There's been a significant development, and as it happens, another one after we finished recording. As Jess and Charlie explain, the CFTC filed a motion to dismiss he appeal court case concerning election event contracts offered by Kalshi. After arguing against these contracts in January, the CFTC has now indicated they wish to drop the case. And at roughly 5PM Eastern yesterday, the DC Court approved the dismissal. So, what does this mean? Luckily the rest of the podcast is not yet out of date, as Jess & Charlie discuss whether this suggests a lighter regulatory touch by the CFTC, and whether this could lead to a wide range of contracts being self-certified quickly by various groups, open the door to more than just sports betting, and highlight the internal upheaval at the CFTC. They also touch on the concerns expressed by the NFL and MLB, particularly around market manipulation. In the second half of the pod, things are no less chaotic. Montana has advanced what is described as the first state-level law specifically designed to crack down on sweepstakes gaming on online sites, and its expected to become law. The language is described as "very broad" and designed to go after the dual currency model typically used in sweepstakes gaming, but could this inadvertently impact other things, such as loyalty systems at McDonald's and Starbucks?Host: Jessica WelmanGuests: Charlie HornerProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: Scott FultoniGaming Daily is the official podcast of SBC Summit Malta.

After tariffs, policies around crypto currency appear to be a domestic priority for the Trump Administration. As a presidential candidate, Trump vowed to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. But some of his moves in crypto – and those of his family – have left even ardent supporters of the sector recoiling. So, what does the U.S. gain from Trump's crypto policies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode: Cryptocurrency has evolved from a niche experiment into a disruptive force with global implications—and U.S. financial institutions, lawmakers, and regulators are working to establish clear crypto-related policy. In this episode, we unpack the state of crypto policy in 2025: The political realignment around digital assets, the rapid growth of stablecoins, the future of tokenized securities, and the debate over whether the U.S. should adopt a central bank digital currency or establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Our guest is former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo , who severed in that position from 2017 to 2019. Known to many online as "CryptoDad," today Giancarlo helps lead the Digital Dollar Project, which advocates for a thoughtful exploration of a U.S. digital currency. With deep insight into both public and private sector shifts, he helps us break down where policy could be headed, what setbacks could be on the horizon, and the implications of America's approach.This year, we're hoping to learn more about our audience and what topics you want us to tackle.
