The CFTC reclassified perps as futures. Katherine and Jessi parse what the ruling actually permits and what it means for Hyperliquid. Plus: if your AI agent gets scammed, who pays? Thanks to our sponsor! Explore crypto careers that could change your future at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com The CFTC approved a perpetual Bitcoin futures contract for KalshiEX, and crypto Twitter immediately got it wrong. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos untangles what actually changed, why the switch from swap to futures classification matters for retail access, and what the ruling leaves wide open on leverage and decentralized exchanges. Jessi Brooks and Katherine explore the fact that AI agents can now place orders, not just give advice. They revisit their paper "The Agents at the Gate" and make clear why Robinhood's move to let agents charge your Gold Card raises liability questions that existing consumer protection law was never built to answer. In the strangest segment, they also dug into a New York lawsuit where an anonymous plaintiff is claiming legal ownership of nearly 40,000 dormant crypto wallets. Jessi explains why the lost-property theory will probably fail — and why even a partial win could force centralized exchanges into an impossible spot.

In this episode of the PBM Reform Podcast, host Greg Reybold, Vice President and General Counsel at APCI, welcomes Josh Golden, Senior Vice President of Strategy at Judi Health and a nationally recognized voice in Pharmacy Benefit Manager reform. With more than 20 years of healthcare consulting experience, Golden brings deep expertise in vendor procurement, contract negotiation, plan design, and benefit strategy for large employers, government entities, and unions. Together, Reybold and Golden examine the financial models behind today's PBM industry and why true transparency remains so difficult for employers, plan sponsors, patients, and pharmacies. The conversation explores how current PBM arrangements often benefit the PBMs more than the employers paying for coverage or the patients relying on their prescription benefits. Golden explains why auditing PBM contracts, rebate structures, spread pricing, administrative fees, pharmacy networks, and formulary decisions is essential to understanding the real economics of prescription drug benefits. This episode also addresses a growing concern in healthcare: PBM steering behavior. Are patients being quietly pushed toward specific formularies, specific pharmacies, and restricted networks that operate like closed networks without being clearly disclosed? Reybold and Golden discuss how this behavior can limit patient choice, disadvantage independent pharmacies, and distort the stated goal of lowering drug costs. The discussion also tackles the role of federal reform efforts, including whether the Appropriations Act represents meaningful PBM accountability or whether it risks becoming another layer in the broader shell game surrounding PBM reform. Finally, the episode asks one of the most important questions in pharmacy policy today: should PBMs own pharmacies? If vertical integration is promoted as a way to lower drug costs, where is the proof — and who actually benefits? Transparency, Auditing, and the PBM Shell Game | PBM Reform

Brad Carson was the Army's General Counsel, served two terms in Congress and was Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. He now heads Americans for Responsible Innovation, the AI-policy advocacy group he co-founded.

Banks are about to lose two of their biggest advantages: custody and payments. A new White House EO opening Fed master accounts to fintechs could be the catalyst. Thanks to our sponsor! Coinbase One Get 20% off the first year of your Coinbase One annual plan ⁠⁠coinbase.com/unchained⁠⁠ A White House executive order is pushing the Fed to open its master account system to fintechs and crypto firms, and the implications are bigger than most people realize. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le trace what it would mean to plug crypto directly into the core plumbing of the US dollar system, why traditional banks should be furious, and where the guardrails are missing. They also dig into the NYT's scathing CFTC piece and whether the snark undermines the serious allegations. Plus the SEC's delayed innovation exemption, Commissioner Hester Peirce's departure, and the White House AI EO that collapsed in eighteen hours. Jessi maps the four White House factions fighting over AI governance, and argues crypto's "don't trust, verify" model is exactly the accountability layer AI needs.

KK, Jessi, and Vy Le call out the silence from CoinDesk and industry organizations after the Consensus after-party was held at  E11even. Plus: Clarity's odds. Thanks to our sponsor! Coinbase One Get 20% off the first year of your Coinbase One annual plan ⁠coinbase.com/unchained⁠ The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15-9, but Katherine, Jessi, and Vy Le are not popping champagne.  KK puts passage odds at 35-40%. Vy Le came down from 90% after only two conditional Democratic votes out of committee. The ethics fight — whether any bill that leaves Trump family crypto holdings intact can get to 60 votes — remains the most credible blocker.  Meanwhile, WallStreetBets filed an SEC comment letter defending quarterly reporting that inadvertently makes the strongest case yet for why onchain transparency makes periodic disclosure obsolete. And the crew addresses the Consensus conference after-party, held at E11even, which features strippers: not a word from most of the trade organizations that claim to represent the industry.

There is a long-standing stigma in venture capital that debt is a "company killer." This week on The Data Minute, Peter Walker sits down with Marshall Hawks, former SVB expert and author of “Venture Debt Deals,” to debunk the myths and explain why debt is often the smartest addition to a founder's equity mix.Marshall breaks down the tactical reality of how these deals actually get done, from the "sniff test" lenders perform during office visits to the critical differences between venture banks and private credit funds. He explains how founders can use debt to survive 15-year exit timelines while minimizing dilution, and shares the specific red flags that indicate a startup is becoming over-leveraged.Plus, Marshall offers a rare look at the "workout groups" that step in when things go wrong and explains why a company's General Counsel might not be the right person to lead a debt negotiation. Whether you are an early-stage founder or a late-stage operator, this episode is a definitive guide to capitalizing your business in a shifting market.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:16 – Intro: Marshall Hawks and the Venture Debt stigma01:10 – Why Marshall wrote "Venture Debt Deals"03:26 – Addressing the Paul Graham view: Is debt dangerous?06:40 – When (and when NOT) to touch venture debt09:14 – The "Insurance" Play: Why many founders never draw the capital10:48 – Venture Banks vs. Private Credit Funds13:00 – Understanding draw periods and interest-only terms17:34 – Why your lender wants to visit your office (The Sniff Test)22:28 – The market after March 2023: Life after SVB26:09 – The "Workout Group": What happens when things go sideways? 30:31 – Green flags: How to diligence your lending partner33:50 – The legal process: Why GC's need outside support37:13 – Hidden costs: Why the company pays everyone's legal fees42:31 – Using debt to survive 15-year exit timelines44:49 – Red flags: Debt service vs. opex ratios48:06 – Final advice: Fundraising is not successThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive technology leap in truck terminal automation as Outpost unveils its second-generation gate kiosk that deploys in just one day and slashes gate operating costs by up to seventy percent. This marks a seismic shift from traditional automated gate systems that require months of installation work, and the Austin-based company now processes more than three million gate events annually across more than thirty terminals while replacing manual staffing that typically costs twenty-five thousand dollars or more per gate monthly. Next, we explore a major shakeup in the financial sector that will fundamentally reshape trucking lending as BMO's massive transportation lending business is being sold to private equity firm Stonepeak while the bank retains a minority nineteen point nine percent stake. BMO's transportation group is believed to be one of the largest lenders in the trucking business, with a book of business totaling twelve point four two billion Canadian dollars, and the timing has raised eyebrows as the sales process began near the bottom of the freight market's years-long slump while markets are now rapidly strengthening. Finally, we cover a strategic leadership move in the intermodal sector as Consolidated Chassis Management appoints Tara Pellicori as its first-ever general counsel to oversee all legal, regulatory, and compliance matters. Pellicori, who most recently served as director and associate general counsel at Subaru of America, will partner closely with leadership to support aggressive expansion and ensure the Rockaway, New Jersey-based company grows responsibly while delivering value to partners and customers across the intermodal ecosystem.

Seven lawsuits blame OpenAI for enabling a mass shooting. Could the same legal theory come for DeFi? Thanks to our sponsor! Coinbase One Get 20% off the first year of your Coinbase One annual plan coinbase.com/unchained Seven families just sued OpenAI in federal court, arguing ChatGPT was a defective product that helped plan a mass shooting. OpenAI's own safety team flagged the risk eight months earlier and did nothing. The legal theory being tested here, that software developers can be held liable for foreseeable misuse of their tools, is the same theory that has been circling DeFi for years.  Meanwhile, April ended as the most hacked month in crypto history, with over $600 million stolen in roughly 30 exploits, most of them linked to North Korea and its weapons programs. DeFi United, a $300M relief coalition led by Aave, emerged as the industry's response.  KK, Vy, and Jessi unpack what it means when the 'code is law' defense starts to crack, why basic operational security is still not standard practice, and how close the Clarity Act actually is to crossing the finish line.

Smrithi Mohan is General Counsel at Awesome, the parent company of SmugMug and Flickr, where she oversees all legal, IP, privacy, and compliance matters for two of the world's most recognized photo-sharing platforms. She previously spent a decade at Dun & Bradstreet, where she built the company's first global IP and innovation practice. An elected Board of Education member and recognized Top Woman Leader, she speaks and writes on legal operations, IP strategy, leadership, and building legal functions from the ground up. In this episode… When a new AI feature ships or a new product is designed, general counsel may not be looped in until after key decisions are made. This creates risk because most product decisions have legal implications, especially around data use, user rights, and consent. That changes when legal teams are brought into the product development cycle at the outset, helping design outcomes that align with legal obligations and business goals. How can general counsel and legal teams move from being seen as gatekeepers to business drivers? Shifting how general counsel and legal teams are viewed starts with building strong relationships across business teams. When legal leaders understand how product, engineering, and other teams operate, they are more likely to be included as ideas take shape. Early involvement enables general counsel to explain regulatory requirements and legal frameworks across different jurisdictions, thereby improving products and making them more defensible. It also creates space to ask fundamental questions in AI development upfront, including what data is being used, whether the company has the right to use it, who owns the outputs, and whether user information is collected with proper consent flows. Vendor relationships require the same level of attention, as older contracts may not address AI and often need audits, addendums, and updated terms.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Smrithi Mohan, General Counsel at Awesome, about how legal teams can integrate into AI and product development. Smrithi explains why general counsel needs to act as business architects and not just legal advisors, and what it takes to make that shift. She outlines the core legal questions teams should address when developing AI tools and other products, how to manage third-party vendor contract risks, and the evolving legal gray areas surrounding AI-generated content and platform liability. Smrithi also offers practical advice on building genuine, collaborative relationships across teams. 

In this episode of The Inspire Podcast, Bart Egnal speaks with Breann Kelly, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel at Ewing Morris, about why a growth mindset is more important than ever. Breann reflects on her career journey and the choices that shaped it, sharing how a consistent focus on learning and curiosity guided her path from law into the world of investment management. She discusses what it takes to navigate uncertainty, build confidence in new environments, and lead through moments of real pressure, including guiding the firm through the COVID era and helping evolve the business along the way. A clear through line in the conversation is the power of a growth mindset. Breann shares how a willingness to step into new spaces and learn along the way has shaped her career, and why that mindset continues to matter in a world defined by AI and constant change. Her insights offer a clear lens on how to keep progressing, even when the path ahead is uncertain. 00:23 Standard show intro 01:00 Introducing Breann 01:37 What is Ewing Morris? 02:23 Bart's disclaimer: I am a client and investor 03:13 Bart introduces the concept of “embracing the growth mindset” 03:47 How it all began for Breann 04:28 Specializing in the asset management space 05:08 BlackRock gig 05:46 Why did you leave the predictable legal profession path? 06:51 Legal profession — live to work rather than work to live 09:10 Moving from BlackRock to Ewing Morris 09:34 Natural ceiling at BlackRock Canada 13:24 Bart observes her ambition for advancement 13:51 What questions should people be asking of their current career path? 14:01 Through-line: passion for learning and growing 14:36 Challenge yourself: if you're not challenging yourself, you're not growing 15:45 The culture shock moving to EM 16:12 New mom + new job 17:21 Imposter syndrome challenge 17:42 You can't learn everyone's jobs inside out as a manager 18:58 From big support team to team of one 19:04 The buck really stopped with me 19:26 The more you seek reassurance, the more it erodes confidence 21:05 Staying relevant in the age of AI? 21:51 Leading through the COVID era 23:58 The business impact of COVID on the markets 27:34 Fixed vs. growth mindset 28:07 The genesis of the SPV business 28:30 SPVs explained 31:21 Pivoting to wealth management 33:01 Aventine 34:18 Bart observes growth mindset at EM 35:04 Pale, male, and stale 35:41 How to have a growth mindset in turbulent/changing times 35:51 Advice: challenge yourself to always do hard things 36:03 Fostering a growth mindset with her kids 36:27 Always find something hard to do!

Can competition laws keep pace with the AI race? Blanche Savary de Beauregard, General Counsel at Mistral AI, joins co-hosts Anora Wang and Clémence Coppin, in collaboration with the New York State Bar Association, to discuss how a European AI company competes against U.S. and Chinese makers of AI foundation models, the strategic logic behind Mistral's major industry partnerships, and why Europe's regulatory fragmentation makes scaling uniquely difficult for emerging AI champions. Blanche offers a candid take on why both under- and over-enforcement are genuine risks in a market that can foreclose before regulators have fully mapped it. Listen to this episode for a rare industry perspective on AI competition policy in 2026.

Leslie sits down with two of the country's most respected immigration attorneys — Bo Cooper, former General Counsel of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, and Austin Fragomen, of the global immigration law firm Fragomen — to walk through what the U.S. immigration system actually looks like from the inside.Right now, there are roughly 4 million people waiting in various visa categories for a path to permanent residence in the United States. In this conversation, Leslie, Bo, and Austin break down exactly how that line works: the three legal pathways to permanent residence (family, employment, and humanitarian), why some people wait months while others wait over two decades depending on country of origin and family relationship, how the asylum system was designed in the aftermath of World War II and whether it fits the crises of today, and what is actually happening with deportation, birthright citizenship, and student visas.They also discuss what Congress could do — and why comprehensive reform has remained out of reach for decades.Whether you have been following immigration in the news and want to understand the underlying system, or you are simply curious about how this process works for real people — this is a clear, factual, and genuinely clarifying conversation.Follow Duologue on Instagram @duologuepod and subscribe so you never miss an episode.00:00:03 Introduction 00:02:33 The Three Pathways to a Green Card 00:07:20 Family-Based Immigration Explained 00:12:09 Why the Post-WWII Refugee Definition Is Outdated 00:14:32 How Long Is the Line?

Two Oregon lawyers were recently fined $110,000 for including fictitious cases in filings that were AI “hallucinations.” This is not the first such case in Oregon, and General Counsel of the Oregon State Bar Ankur Doshi says it’s unlikely to be the last. There are hundreds of cases across the U.S. where the use of AI has resulted in incorrectly cited cases, fabricated quotes, cases that don’t exist, or all three. Doshi says using AI this way is antithetical to the sworn duties and responsibilities of the profession. Courts are increasingly imposing higher fines for these violations and state bar associations are also meting out discipline, which can range from admonitions to disbarment. Doshi joins us to share more about the regulations and guidance in place for using AI in legal proceedings.

Pressure doesn't reveal your values. It exposes whether you've defined them at all. In this conversation with John Castelly, you're challenged to think about who you are as a leader before the moment arrives when everything is on the line. You'll hear how John built and scaled ethics and compliance at ServiceNow and now navigates high-stakes decisions as General Counsel at Promise.

5G cell towers are rapidly spreading, promising increased speed of wireless telecommunications and supposedly tightening worldwide wireless pathways. But there is a dark side to this technology - it's not really meant for communication between humans! “5G is meant for industrial use and machine-to-machine communication,” says Odette Wilkens, President & General Counsel of Wired Broadband, Inc. Odette explains the ever-searching, invisible radiation beams of 5G and how wireless technology, including 5G, harmfully intersect with the human body. This technology is so dangerous, in fact, that it is currently used as a military weapon, called “Active Denial” as a form of crowd control. Additionally, wireless radiation, such as from 5G, reacts with any metals in the body, including medical implants, such as a pacemaker. TAKEAWAYS Technology is designed to become obsolete every five years, forcing consumers to buy the next product with harmful side effects Wireless radiation exposure causes oxidative stress and clumps red blood cells together, potentially sparking chromosomal damage HR 2289 is proposed legislation that would give government and telecom companies the right to place dangerous cell towers anywhere HR 2289 would overrule local zoning ordinances and transfer review processes to the federal level

I never thought I'd be glued to the Supreme Court docket like this, but here we are, listeners, in the thick of it. Just last fall, the justices heard arguments in a blockbuster case straight out of President Donald Trump's playbook: whether his Executive Order 14160 violates the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act. Rutgers Law School professors are calling it one of the most pivotal issues of 2026, as it challenges who gets U.S. citizenship by birth—potentially rewriting birthright rules that have stood for over a century. Imagine the ripple effects on families, borders, and elections if the Court sides with the challengers.But that's not all unfolding in these past few days. On April 21, Yankee Institute reported how Connecticut lawmakers are playing a risky game, pushing bills to tweak laws mid-litigation. Take Senate Bill 450—it's aimed right at an active lawsuit over the state's 2021 move to scrap religious exemptions for school vaccines. The bill declares that Connecticut's Religious Freedom Restoration Act won't apply to immunizations, even in pending cases, yanking the legal standard out from under the court's feet. Critics say it's a pattern: lawmakers repealing rules while courts decide if they were broken, raising red flags on accountability. Is it legal? Courts will say, but it smells like dodging scrutiny.Shifting to tax battles with echoes of big penalties, The National Law Review detailed IRS moves from April 6. Taxpayers in Hirsch v. US Tax Court are begging the Supreme Court to extend the 2024 SEC v. Jarkesy ruling, demanding jury trials for civil fraud penalties topping $15 million—tied to faked US Virgin Islands residency claims. A win could hobble IRS audits everywhere. Meanwhile, the IRS proposed overhauling its Voluntary Disclosure Program, swapping a one-time 75% fraud penalty for 20% accuracy-related hits spread over six years, plus a 90-day payback deadline. Practitioners cheer ditching the huge lump sum but warn cumulative costs could still sting.And labor law's buzzing too. JD Supra notes the National Labor Relations Board is back in action this April, with Crystal Stowe Carey as General Counsel since January, issuing guidance to protect workers' rights. Yet nominations like James Macy's on April 13 keep it in flux, shadowed by Supreme Court fights over agency independence.Whew, from citizenship showdowns to mid-case law tweaks, these legal fires are burning hot. What's next? Stay tuned, because the courts never sleep.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

Should the FBI be allowed to access the content of Americans' communications–emails, texts and phone calls–without obtaining a judicial warrant? That's a key question facing Congress, with a looming deadline of April 30th. The question is wrapped up in the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702, which will sunset at the end of this month.I had the opportunity to interview Andrew Weissmann, who served as FBI General Counsel in addition to other positions in the Department of Justice. Below are three highlights from our conversation. Our conversation is available as a video on this page as well as YouTube and soon as a podcast.]A bit of background before the excerpts below: Section 702 allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect the email, text, and phone conversations of foreign nationals located in foreign countries. As a byproduct, Americans' communications are caught in the surveillance net as well. Subject to limitations that Congress introduced in 2024, the FBI can dip into that vast database to look for communications of Americans – without a warrant and without probable cause of wrongdoing.Congress is presented with a three-prong fork in the road: reauthorize the tool as is, reform it with new warrant requirements, or let it sunset entirely. (For competing views on this topic at Just Security, see analysis by George Croner and by Elizabeth Goitein and Hannah James.)

In this bonus episode recorded live at the Collegis Education DisruptED summit in Phoenix, we spoke with Phil Hill and Charlie Rose about the rapidly shifting higher education policy landscape and its implications for institutions. They unpack how recent federal actions—particularly new legislation and accelerated rulemaking—are creating both urgency and uncertainty, while also signaling a longer-term shift toward accountability, affordability, and measurable student outcomes.  The conversation highlights that while the current moment may feel chaotic, many of these changes are driving necessary conversations about return on investment, institutional value, and alignment with workforce needs. Ultimately, it's a call for leaders to stay adaptable, focus on long-term structural shifts rather than short-term noise, and continue innovating in ways that best serve students.

The week StarkWare's chief product officer published a paper proposing a quantum-resistant mechanism for Bitcoin that doesn't require changing Bitcoin's code. The crew discuss the the threat quantum computers pose to bitcoin, which raises philosophical questions about what it means to “own” bitcoin. “Not your keys, not your coins” has long been the catchphrase — so what happens if a quantum computer wrests your keys away fro you? Plus they discuss the fact that Anthropic decided not to release its most powerful model to the public at the same time its technology is being removed from the government. What does it mean when a private company has greater capability than the U.S. government?   Also, the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets quietly released major guidance clarifying when DeFi front ends need to register as broker-dealers — and Chair Atkins announced what could become the first actual crypto rulemaking in the agency's history.  Katherine, Jessi, and TuongVy work through what each of these developments means for builders, lawyers, and founders navigating crypto right now — and why the question of who gets to make these calls is the same whether you're talking about AI or regulation.
