Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the big news out of the Supreme Court this week before breaking down Citigroup's walk back of its post-Parkland gun business restrictions. We also talk about the Department of Justice's ongoing efforts to defend gun carry among the states, this time targeting Pennsylvania sheriffs who refuse to issue non-resident carry permits. Finally, we discuss the latest monthly gun sales numbers and wrap up with some of the biggest stories from outside The Reload.

Opeens barstte de bom. Elon Musk was het zo zat dat zijn voormalige vriend Donald Trump zijn Big Beautiful Bill wilde doorvoeren, dat hij niet langer stil kon blijven zitten. Na een week aan boze berichten op X gaat Musk echt in de aanval nadat Trump zegt dat ze geen goede vrienden meer zijn. Trump zou volgens Musk in de Epstein-files staan. Daarmee maakt hij Trump de facto uit als pedofiel. Trump dreigt vervolgens om miljarden dollars aan contracten met de bedrijven van Musk te schrappen. En in reactie daarop verliest Tesla zo'n 150 miljard dollar aan beurswaarde. Wie van de twee lijdt er het meest onder deze ruzie? En ga jij er ook nog wat van voelen? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over de Amerikaanse economie. Eerder deze week schrokken beleggers van cijfers over het aantal vacatures. Onnodige zorgen, blijkt uit een nieuw rapport. Want groei van de economie remt veel minder hard af dan gedacht. Verder leer je iets over de wereld van rook- en knakworsten. De verkoop van Unox gaat namelijk minder soepel dan Unilever had gehoopt. De Autoriteit Consument en Markt wil eerst onderzoeken of de nieuwe koper niet te machtig wordt. En we vertellen je wat Toyota en Hello Kitty met elkaar te maken hebben.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US equity futures slightly weaker. European markets opened flat to slightly higher, while most Asian markets ended in positive territory with Kospi outperforming. Markets focused on trade and central bank updates. The ECB is expected to cut rates by 25 bps today amid cooling inflation. Uncertainty remains over the timing of a potential Trump-Xi call, with reports citing reluctance from China's side. Institutional investors reportedly shifting away from US markets due to debt and trade concerns, with Europe seen as a relative beneficiary. Weaker-than-expected US ADP and ISM Services data added to Fed policy scrutiny ahead of Friday's jobs report. US fiscal concerns also back in focus, with the CBO projecting a $2.42T deficit increase from the reconciliation bill.Companies Mentioned: NVIDIA, Amazon, Citigroup

Sesión de jueves marcada por las compañías Procter & Gamble, KIMBERLY-CLARK, CITIGROUP, Broadcom y Lululemon. Con Rafael Damborenea, profesor de Finanzas en Eude Bussines School.

Singapore shares inched higher to track broader gains in Asia today. The Straits Times Index went up by 0.18% to 3,910.72 points at about 2.15pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$703.63M seen in the broader market. In terms of companies to watch, we have Thai Beverage, after the beer maker yesterday announced a US$2 billion multicurrency debt issuance programme. The group said net proceeds from the programme will be used for “general corporate purposes” of the company. Elsewhere, from a softer than expected US private-sector jobs report and what that means for global markets, to remarks made in the Federal Reserve’s closely watched “Beige Book” study – more international developments remain in focus. Also on deck – how Citigroup said today that it will cut the numbers of employees at two of its technology centres in China by about 3,500. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director, Azure Capital. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings captured the attention of the markets last week, but there are other chip stocks capturing analyst attention today.

She also points to a bullish note on Broadcom (AVGO) from Citigroup ahead of the company's earnings later this week. Rick Ducat dives into the technical trends behind the A.I. stocks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In de Amerikaanse Senaat is met ruime meerderheid ingestemd met het bespreken van de zogeheten GENIUS-wetgeving. Het wetsvoorstel, dat met 66 stemmen voor en 32 tegen door een eerste stemming kwam, richt zich met name op strengere regelgeving voor stablecoins. Daarmee komt het onderwerp nadrukkelijk op de politieke agenda in Washington. Wat verandert er voor consumenten? Waarom steunen ook partijen als Tether deze wet? En hoe moet deze wet bijdragen aan het behoud van de wereldwijde dominantie van de Amerikaanse dollar? Tegelijkertijd klinkt er in de Senaat ook kritiek op voormalig president Donald Trump, want hij heeft met zijn bedrijf World Liberty Financial óók een eigen stablecoin. Daarnaast is er meer nieuws rond stablecoins. Volgens berichtgeving van de Wall Street Journal zouden grootbanken als JPMorgan, Bank of America en Citigroup gezamenlijk werken aan een eigen stablecoin-project. Daarbij ligt de vraag voor of traditionele banken in een inhaalslag verwikkeld zijn, of daadwerkelijk voor een alternatief kunnen zorgen. In de prijsanalyse staat opnieuw de vraag centraal hoe lang het positieve momentum van Bitcoin standhoudt. Afgelopen week bereikte de munt een nieuwe all-time high van 112.000 dollar. Sindsdien schommelt de koers rond dat niveau, zonder grote correcties. Zelfs kleine terugvallen lijken snel opgevangen te worden. Met Bert Slagter bekijken we of deze situatie houdbaar is, zeker als de markt in hetzelfde tempo blijft stijgen. Ook werpen we een blik op de Bitcoin-conferentie in Las Vegas. Is het evenement relevant genoeg om ook koersimpact te veroorzaken? De namen op de lineup zijn in ieder geval groot. Tot slot bespreken we opnieuw de Europese cryptowet MiCAR, een terugkerend thema als co-host Mauro Halve in de studio is. In Nederland nadert een belangrijke deadline: vanaf volgende maand moeten cryptobedrijven een vergunning hebben om in ons land actief te zijn. Toch zijn er opvallend weinig partijen die zo’n vergunning daadwerkelijk binnen hebben. Ligt dat aan de zwaarte van de aanvraag? Of is de AFM traag met behandelen? Ook blikken we op de koplopers binnen Europa. Nederland begon voortvarend, maar lijkt inmiddels ingehaald.

TotalEnergies tient ses Assemblées générales ce vendredi à Paris. Les grandes compagnies pétrolières dont beaucoup ont des projets en Afrique sont sous le feu des critiques dans les pays occidentaux. Un contexte peu propice aux financements des projets.  « Notre climat : non négociable ; notre futur : non négociable ». Devant le siège du Crédit agricole à Paris, la semaine dernière, des militants de l'ONG Amis de la Terre ont dénoncé le soutien financier accordé au projet gazier de TotalEnergies au Mozambique. Leur stratégie : pousser les établissements bancaires à se désengager des projets d'extraction d'énergies fossiles.« Derrière ces projets toxiques. Ce qu'on oublie souvent, c'est qu'il y a aussi des grandes banques qui financent directement ces projets, dénonce la militante écologiste Lorette Philipot. Donc, aux Amis de la Terre, on travaille directement avec des partenaires dans les pays et les communautés impactées pour faire cesser ces soutiens financiers qui rendent possibles des projets climaticides et contraires aux droits humains. »Les banques, cibles des militants écologistesLes établissements européens sont de plus en plus sensibles à ces pressions, tout comme certaines banques américaines, comme Citigroup, également prises pour cible par les associations l'année dernière.La pression des ONG sur les banques commence à se faire sentir sur le terrain, notamment en Afrique. Pour Benjamin Augé, chercheur associé à l'Ifri, la dynamique est claire : « Les ONG environnementales en Occident commencent à exercer une forte pression pour que les banques n'investissent pas dans ces projets-là. Et donc, ça devient de plus en plus compliqué avec une enveloppe globale pour le pétrole et le gaz qui diminue et avec un nombre d'acteurs qui se dirige de plus en plus vers d'autres types d'investissements ou en tout cas dans l'énergie, plutôt dans les renouvelables et de moins en moins sur les hydrocarbures qui n'a plus vraiment la cote. »Des projets africains ralentis par manque de financementsRésultat : les projets prennent plus de temps à se concrétiser, faute de financements rapides. Verner Ayukegba, vice-président de la Chambre africaine de l'Énergie, en témoigne : « C'est difficile de réaliser ces projets, parce que ça peut seulement se faire avec des compagnies qui ont un énorme potentiel de fonds propres. En ce moment, il y a moins de dépendance sur des financiers internationaux. Désormais, il y a de moins en moins d'assureurs et de financiers qui s'engagent. »Malgré tout, les projets pétroliers et gaziers en Afrique attirent encore des capitaux : 43 milliards de dollars de dépenses sont prévues cette année, avec une projection de 54 milliards d'ici à 2030.

La semana pasada Donald Trump realizó la primera gira internacional de su segundo mandato. Visitó Arabia Saudí, Qatar y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Este viaje, centrado en acuerdos comerciales y asuntos geopolíticos de primer nivel como la cuestión de Siria, supone un punto de inflexión en tanto que Trump se mostró dispuesto a dialogar. Algo llamativo ya que, al menos en este ámbito, su postura es realista y libre de los maximalismos de su primer trimestre en el cargo. De forma un tanto sorprendente dejó a Israel en un segundo plano. Lo que no fue sorprendente en absoluto fue su silencio por el respeto a los derechos humanos en aquella región, pero eso ya estaba previsto y es coherente con lo que ya hizo en su primer mandato. El periplo comenzó en Riad, donde Trump fue recibido por el príncipe heredero Mohammed bin Salman. Arabia Saudí comprometió 600.000 millones de dólares en inversiones en EEUU enfocadas en defensa, tecnología y energía. Un foro de inversión reunió a líderes empresariales como Larry Fink de BlackRock y Jane Fraser de Citigroup, subrayando la importancia que el presidente dio al apartado económico de la gira. En Riad se reunió con el presidente interino sirio, Ahmed al-Sharaa, en un encuentro histórico. Anunció el levantamiento de sanciones a Siria para impulsar su estabilización tras la caída de Bashar al-Assad. Esta decisión, respaldada por Arabia Saudí y Qatar, fue elogiada por las cancillerías europeas, pero criticada por Israel, que considera a al-Sharaa un exyihadista. En Doha Trump fue agasajado por el emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Qatar firmó acuerdos por 243.000 millones de dólares que incluyen la adquisición de más de 200 aviones Boeing. Desde la base aérea Al Udeid, la mayor instalación militar estadounidense en Oriente Medio, Trump reiteró su prioridad de “terminar conflictos, no iniciarlos”, aunque advirtió que no dudaría en usar el poder militar si fuera necesario. Propuso una “zona de libertad” en Gaza, un concepto vago que ha generado infinidad de especulaciones, pero evitó hablar de la guerra aún en curso en la franja. La gira culminó en Abu Dabi, donde el Gobierno de los Emiratos anunció una inversión de 440.000 millones de dólares en el sector energético estadounidense a lo largo de la próxima década. Trump visitó la Gran Mezquita y la Casa de la Familia Abrahámica tratando de proyectar una imagen de cooperación cultural. Poco antes, en su discurso en Riad, condenó el intervencionismo estadounidense del pasado, y eso fue bien recibido entre los líderes políticos del golfo Pérsico, pero alarmó a defensores de los derechos humanos. Un aspecto notable fue la exclusión de Israel del itinerario, lo que revela que hay tensiones latentes con su primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump ignoró las objeciones israelíes para levantar las sanciones a Siria y negociar con Hamás con el objetivo de liberar al rehén estadounidense Edan Alexander. Todo de forma directa y dejando a un lado a los israelíes. Además, avanzó que quiere reiniciar las conversaciones nucleares con Irán mediadas por Omán, lo que ha provocado nuevas fricciones con Israel, que teme un acuerdo favorable a Teherán. La gira, salteada por una serie de aciertos, supone el regreso al pragmatismo que caracterizó a su primer mandato, más centrado en la estabilidad económica que en decisiones rupturistas y problemáticas como la guerra comercial contra todo el mundo.

La Corte dei Conti ha evidenziato che i settori in ritardo, come la sanità, dovranno accelerare la spesa in modo significativo per rispettare le scadenze del PNRR. L'Italia è l'unico Paese ad aver chiesto cinque modifiche al piano. La nuova proposta di rimodulazione presentata dal ministro Foti riguarda 170 target e milestone, pari al 48% delle scadenze residue. Il governo spera in un via libera della Commissione europea entro fine giugno, ma è già prevista un'ulteriore revisione entro il 2026. Le modifiche riguardano soprattutto gli investimenti ferroviari e puntano a spostare su fondi nazionali le opere che non si completeranno in tempo. Interviene Luca Dal Poggetto analista di Open Polis esperto di PNRR. insieme a Manuela Perrone, Il Sole 24 OreMutui per la casa meno cari nel 2024, ma in rialzo nel 2025Nel 2024 i mutui per l'acquisto di abitazioni in Italia sono cresciuti (+4,6% sul 2023), con un capitale erogato salito a oltre 38 miliardi di euro (+8,1%). Il tasso medio iniziale si è abbassato al 3,6%. Tuttavia, nel 2025 i tassi sono tornati a salire: ad aprile il tasso medio è salito al 3,29%, il massimo da settembre 2024, segnalando un'inversione di tendenza nonostante il taglio dei tassi da parte della BCE. Ne parliamo con Roberto Anedda Senior analyst di Nomisma.Volatilità sui Treasury americani e futuro economico USADopo l'annuncio di nuovi dazi da parte di Trump il 2 aprile, i rendimenti dei Treasury americani hanno oscillato bruscamente. L'incertezza ha spinto gli hedge fund a liquidare posizioni speculative ("basis trade"), aumentando la volatilità. Una possibile spiegazione politica è la vendita massiccia di Treasury da parte della Cina. Moody's ha tagliato il rating degli USA da Aaa ad Aa1 per l'alto debito e i deficit persistenti. I rendimenti dei bond a lungo termine sono saliti (oltre il 5% a 30 anni e 4,52% a 10 anni). La CEO di Citigroup, Jane Fraser, ha segnalato un cambiamento strutturale nei mercati globali, con più rischio percepito e una globalizzazione meno cooperativa. Approfondiamo il tema con Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist per Spartan Capital Securities, a basato a New York

Je hoort het goed. Ondanks protesten van beleggers en een deel van het personeel, denkt Musk niet aan opstappen bij Tesla. Hij wil nog vijf jaar blijven bij Tesla 'tenzij hij dood gaat'. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die belofte. Wie wint hier nu het meest mee? En gaat Musk de puinhopen (die hij zelf maakte) nu echt opruimen de komende jaren? Dat hoor je. Wat je ook hoort is de opmerkelijke keuze van Nvidia. Dat gaat de eigen monopolie opbreken.Bizar, net als een belofte van Trump eerder. Dat hij als president wel even de oorlog in Oekraine zou oplossen. Volgens hem gaan Poetin en Zelensky met elkaar om de tafel en komt er een staakt-het-vuren tussen Rusland en Oekraine. Stel dat dat zo is, wat gebeurt er dan met de defensie-aandelen? Zijn die niet veel te hard opgelopen?Ook hebben we het over ABN Amro, dat nu echt op overnamepad kan. De staat verkoopt een enorm pakket aan aandelen van de bank. Dat zorgt (alweer) voor speculaties. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Learn how to land billion dollar clients using revenue based sales strategies In this episode, Stephen Roche shares his proven approach for landing enterprise clients in the competitive financial industry. He reveals why tying products to new revenue generation, rather than just cost savings is the secret to winning major clients like BlackRock and JP Morgan. Stephen explains how building trust through thought leadership, leveraging strategic PR, and using authentic LinkedIn engagement creates a powerful sales ecosystem that makes you the safer choice for potential clients. Stephen Roche is the Co-Founder and President of Saphyre, a patented AI-powered platform that streamlines pre- and post-trade processes for financial institutions. Founded in 2017 with his identical twin brother Gabino, Saphyre has revolutionized the industry by enabling T+1 and even T-Zero trade settlements, helping financial institutions meet new SEC mandates while eliminating the traditional web of manual tasks. The company raised $18.7M in Series A funding in 2022 and boasts an impressive client roster including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. Key Takeaways: Tie your product to new revenue generation rather than just cost savings to make it irresistible to potential clients. Create a "safer option" by building market validation through visible client partnerships and thought leadership. Be authentic on LinkedIn by balancing industry insights with personal content instead of just corporate messaging. Use event sponsorships strategically to gain speaking opportunities that establish thought leadership in your industry. Leverage PR by negotiating press releases with clients and repurposing that content across multiple channels. Document your journey authentically rather than relying on corporate-approved marketing materials that feel impersonal. Use "social proof" from major clients to create FOMO among their competitors who aren't using your solution yet. Consider offering warrant structures tied to performance metrics for strategic partnerships instead of giving away equity upfront. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets.Daniel's Career JourneyDaniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team.Sopris Capital and Investment StrategiesAt Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium.Bitcoin ATMsWe discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked.Stranded Energy and Bitcoin MiningDaniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy.Economic Shifts and Investment OpportunitiesWe touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans.Compliance and Industry MaturationThe conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry.Future of Energy and ComputeDaniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation.Closing ThoughtsIt was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show.

This week we talk about smishing, Huione, and scams.We also discuss money laundering, the Cambodian government, and Tether.Recommended Book: The Longevity Imperative by Andrew J. ScottTranscriptThe portmanteau ‘smishing' combines SMS and phishing to refer to the practice of using text messages to trick the recipients of said messages into revealing information that allows scammers to access their victim's accounts on various platforms.One common variation of smishing, which I've seen a lot recently, personally, are messages purportedly from toll road operators that tell the recipient they've got an unpaid toll, and they need to follow a link that's provided in order to pay it. If the person receiving that message follows the instructions, they'll tend to land on a webpage that's convincing enough, which looks like the sort of site you might go to if you're paying that kind of toll, online, and you enter your payment information and are then either immediately charged for this fake toll, or that information is used in some more cohesive manner—maybe the card is stolen, maybe it's added to a larger collection of data they have on you which is then leveraged for a larger payout.This type of scam has become more common in recent years because of innovations deployed by what security researchers have called the Smishing Triad, which is a trio of mobile phishing groups operating out of China that seem to have refined their infrastructure and techniques so that messages they send via iMessage to iPhone users and RCS to Android users can bypass mobile phone networks and enjoy a nearly 100% delivery rate—which makes the name a little ironic, since these groups don't use SMS to deliver these scam texts anymore, as those other methods of delivery are more reliable for such messages, these days.The big innovation introduced by these groups, though, beyond that deliverability, is the productization of mobile phishing, which basically means they've packaged up applications that allow their customers, which are usually smaller-time phishing groups and individuals, to share links to convincing-looking copies of Paypal, Mastercard, Stripe, and CitiGroup payment sites, among others, including individual banks, and that makes knee-jerk payments from the victims receiving these texts more likely, and less likely to set of alarm bells in the minds those receiving them, because they look like just normal payment sites.These pre-packaged scam assets also include regularly rotated web domains, which makes them less likely to trigger the recipient's anti-scam software—their browser will be less likely to flag them as problematic, basically. And the Triad has hundreds of actual humans working desk jobs, worldwide, supporting their customer base, which again is a bunch of scammers that use this package of tools to try to steal money from their marks.All of this is enabled, in part, by clever emulation software that allows Triad customers to leverage legit and legit-seeming phone numbers from a computer or phone, those devices then sending out around 100 messages per second, per device, to phone numbers in the targeted region. They're able to do this on a budget because of the efficiency of the software acquired from the Smishing Triad, and the Triad stays just ahead of regulators and law enforcement by rapidly iterating their offerings, which in turn does the same for all of their customers—which grants the benefits of a larger institution to all these individual and smaller scam groups.What I'd like to talk about today is another alleged backend for scammers, this one this more overt and public facing, and perhaps even more impactful because of its size and because of the nature of its offerings.—The Huione (hu-WAY-wahn) Group is a financial conglomerate primarily based in Cambodia, though it also has satellite offices in other countries, mostly in Southeast Asia.Folks use the entity's QR codes to pay for stuff all around Cambodia, from restaurant tabs to hotel bills to supermarket tallies, and it offers normal banking stuff like checking and savings accounts, alongside things like escrow services and a cryptocurrency exchange.This is a company that buys billboards along major highways throughout the country and which has well-connected people in charge, including one of the Cambodian prime minister's cousins, who is the director of a Huione company.In addition to its many legitimate offerings, though, Huione has also been accused to providing a range of gray and blackmarket products and services to folks who are doing skeevy but partially legal things, alongside wholly criminal enterprises, like a human trafficking outfit in Myanmar and folks running large smishing schemes in other parts of Southeast Asia.Huione's primary offering for the criminal underworld though, is allegedly serving as a money laundering go-between.If you run a smishing scammer network, or a group that kidnaps people and sell them into various types of modern slavery in Myanmar, you may have trouble using the money you earn for these efforts because they're off-book, blackmarket sorts of income. You need to clean, to launder that money to make it seem legitimate, so that you can put it in banks or otherwise use it to pay for things like you would with normal, non-illegally earned money.Money laundering matchmaker services maintain networks of what are called money mules, and these mules are sometimes individuals, and they're sometimes shell companies with bank accounts or their own cryptocurrency wallets.If you're scamming people out of their money, you might use this type of service to connect you with a money mule, and you provide that mule's bank or crypto account information to your victim—so when you receive a scammy text message and follow it to completing, the bank your money is sent to will probably be that of a mule, not the person or group doing the scamming.So the victim transfers their money to that mule's account, and the mule then moves said money from one account to another to another to another to another, eventually converting it into an asset like a cryptocurrency, once the path has been suitably muddled. They take their cut, which is often something like 15%, somewhere along the way, and you, their customer, the scammer, are handed neutralized, clean resources in the form of that cryptocurrency—which you can then convert into real money at some point—on the other end.An entity like Huione makes money by connecting scammers and other criminals with mules, but also by serving as a guarantor on these transactions.So this entity allegedly, via a network of Telegram channels it maintains, telegram being an anonymizing chat app similar to WhatsApp, it allows matchmakers to advertise on these channels, using thinly veiled language to promote their services, and Huione is able to make money selling ads to mules and other matchmakers who want to promote via these highly trafficked channels, one of which has more than 400,000 users—and they have many of these things, and that alone apparently brings in a fair bit of revenue, serving as a sort of hard-to-track Craigslist for this component of the scam economy.The guarantor component of this digital bazaar means that Huione holds the transactions between scammer and mules in escrow, just like any other escrow service: they take the money and hold it until the service has been completed, at which point they release it, taking a small cut for the service of ensuring that no one gets ripped off—except for the original victim of the scam, of course.The majority of these transactions are completed using Tether, which is a stablecoin that tries to peg its value to the US dollar, each token worth exactly one USD, rather than fluctuating like speculative crypto assets, like Bitcoin, and this allows everyone involved to maintain a veil of both feigned ignorance and anonymity, making it difficult to track who does what, how much money changes hands, and who gets paid and does the paying.This setup allows Huione to claim ignorance any time someone accuses them of doing illegal stuff: after all, they can't possibly be responsible for what all the entities using their services are up to, right? All everything is just muddled and anonymized enough to grant seeming truthfulness to that claim of ignorance.Because of how all this is set up, most of what we know about this is the result of whistleblowing from insiders and leaked documents, alongside divulgences from security researchers who know how to get into these sorts of networks and who at times hack those involved in various ways.And it seems, based on those divulgences and other gleaned knowledge, that Huione's money laundering services, alone, have been linked to nearly $27 billion in cryptocurrency transactions since 2021—though that could be a significant undercount because of the blurry nature of this industry and the entities involved with it.Thus far, Huione has never been targeted for sanctions by any government.Tether took action to freeze some of its accounts after law enforcement officials flagged them for criminal behavior, and Telegram has closed some of those illicit, matchmaking channels, but it's easy enough to set up new versions of both, while the escrow subsidiary of Huione, previously called Huione Guarantee, denies any connection to these activities and even changed its name to Haowang Guarantee in October of 2024, though that denial seems to be public-facing only: the escrow-providing company continues to claim that the larger Huione Group is one of its strategic partners and shareholders.Huione also has its own matchmatching service, called Huione International Pay, which operates as a real-deal bank, but also does what all the other matchmakers do—it helps criminal enterprises shuffle their money around, taking a fee to provide them with clean money, usually in the shape of Tether crypto tokens, on the other end.Though notably, Huione also recently launched their own stablecoin called USDH, alongside an in-house communication service called ChatMe and an array of mini-games that seem optimized for automation, which is another means of laundering money via what seems like gambling apps, allowing their clients to cut out the casinos that are sometimes used as part of the laundering process. All of which seems primed to internalize more of this process, slowly doing away with the need for Telegram and Tether and those casinos, which would seem to remove some of the risk associated with those external, uncontrolled-by-Huione, platforms.Despite all this, this enterprise has been allowed to flourish and grow like it has, according to a threat analyst with the UN, at least, because of lax enforcement in Cambodia, and the conglomerate's connections with the government and ability to say, basically, we're legit, look, we're just a bank, we can't control what other people might do with our services. Their whole setup is obscure enough, too, that anyone who takes a close look at their entangled business structure quickly gets lost in its complexity and many tangles and dead-ends.Some governments, including the Chinese government, have been cracking down on entities like Huione operating within their borders, but many such crackdowns are hobbled when they're aimed at operations based in different countries, especially those with lax enforcement, like Cambodia.Also worth noting is that if someone's going to get caught, it'll most likely be the mules, not the matchmakers or scammers, and that's by design. It's a bit like street-level drug dealers being more likely to be picked up by police than the folks running the larger drug enterprise of which they're a part. Huione and other entities like it are largely insulated from major consequences, even if the mules who use their services periodically get caught in dragnets cast by law enforcement.That said, the National Bank of Cambodia recently announced that it hasn't renewed Huione's license to operate its payment service in the country, the one that runs all those QR codes, because it didn't meet renewal requirements. That happened in late-March of 2025, so pretty recently, though the company has already said that it will register its business in Japan and Canada, so it seems to be looking for a suitable plot of land on which to rebuild this component of its setup.Many security researchers and law enforcement officials have warned that the time to crack down on Huione and similar conglomerates is now, because they're currently reliant on partially exposed third-parties like Telegram and Tether. Once they successfully move those activities inward, they'll be a lot more difficult to track, but also nearly impossible to shutter, unless there's a significant change in the government and enforcement climate in the countries in which they're based, which at this point at least, looks unlikely.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/world/asia/cambodia-money-laundering-huione.htmlhttps://www.wired.com/story/the-largest-illicit-online-marketplace-ever-is-growing-at-an-alarming-rate/https://www.wired.com/story/pig-butchering-scam-crypto-huione-guarantee/https://www.wired.com/story/interpol-pig-butchering-scams-rename/https://www.propublica.org/article/casinos-cambodia-myanmar-laos-southeast-asia-fraud-cybercrimehttps://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/04/china-based-sms-phishing-triad-pivots-to-banks/#more-70793https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_spam This is a public episode.

Wall Street rose on Tuesday, boosted by the possibility of tariff relief for the auto sector and gains in financial stocks after Citigroup and Bank of America's results. President Donald Trump on Monday hinted at potential exemptions for the 25% tariffs imposed on imports of autos and auto parts. Meanwhile, the administration is proceeding with probes into imports of pharmaceuticals and semiconductors as part of a bid to impose tariffs on both sectors on grounds that extensive reliance on foreign production of medicine and chips is a national security threat, Federal Register filings on Monday showed.Former President Joe Biden is expected to make an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago.

Central banks play a crucial role in modern economies, managing money supply, setting interest rates, and ensuring financial stability. But their relationship with governments, particularly their role as financial agents of the state, creates potential risks that could threaten economic stability. Does the way central banks are structured and operate obscure the true fiscal health of the state, and pose risks for the wider economy? That's what Willem Buiter – former Chief Economist at Citigroup, former member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, among many other things – claims.  In conversation with Tim Phillips, he sets out six challenges that central banks may face in the future and explains what central bankers can do about them.  The discussion paper is here.
