They dive into the roles of Monero and Zcash, noting Zcash's recent price jump and how it has reignited tribal debates. Joel argues that Zcash is now a stronger hedge for Monero than Bitcoin, given their differing approaches to privacy and governance. The conversation also touches on how holding multiple crypto assets shapes market psychology, contrasts Monero's strict "private by default" model with Zcash's more exchange-friendly design, and explores the shifting exchange landscape with platforms relisting privacy coins. They discuss upcoming technical upgrades, including Zcash's Tachyon and Monero's FCMP++, and highlight how Litecoin leads non-Bitcoin payment volume while Monero dominates privacy-by-default transactions. The episode wraps up with price predictions for Monero and Zcash, along with a focus on the importance of real-world adoption, such as using Monero for everyday purchases.

« Avant la fin de l'année, Madagascar va lancer des poursuites judiciaires contre le président déchu Andry Rajoelina », a annoncé ce lundi 1er décembre sur RFI la nouvelle ministre de la Justice de Madagascar, Fanirisoa Ernaivo. Depuis son exfiltration par la France, le 12 octobre dernier, Andry Rajoelina vit sans doute à Dubaï, où il a placé une partie de sa fortune. Mais il est soupçonné par les nouvelles autorités malgaches de graves faits de corruption. En ligne d'Antananarivo, la ministre de la Justice fait le point, au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier, sur les procédures contre les dignitaires de l'ancien régime de Madagascar. RFI : Fanirisoa Ernaivo, le régime d'Andry Rajoelina est accusé de multiples actes de corruption. Est-ce que vous n'êtes pas submergée par le nombre de dossiers ? Fanirisoa Ernaivo : Effectivement, nous sommes submergées par un grand nombre de dossiers qui n'ont pas pu être instruits au moment où j'étais encore au pouvoir. À lire aussiMadagascar: la société civile critique la trajectoire prise par la transition L'une des causes de l'insurrection du mois d'octobre, c'est le manque d'eau et d'électricité à Antananarivo, est-ce que la société étatique Jirama, qui produit et distribue l'eau et l'électricité, a été l'objet de graves détournements ? Je ne pourrais vous dire oui ou non, parce qu'il y a des détournements et la mauvaise gouvernance dans la Jirama. Mais ça, je ne pourrais en parler dans l'affirmatif sans avoir un dossier devant moi. Et nous sommes en train de faire un audit des contrats de la Jirama au niveau du gouvernement. Et c'est là, après cet audit, après la révision de ces contrats, qu'on pourra parler de quel est vraiment le détournement de pouvoir dont on pourrait accuser quelques personnes et quelques entités dans cette histoire de défaillance de la Jirama. Est-ce que parmi les personnes soupçonnées d'être impliquées dans ces détournements à la Jirama, il y a le milliardaire en fuite, Mame Ravatomanga ? Pour l'instant, on est en train de commencer. Je n'ai même pas encore eu le dossier devant mes yeux. Et donc, sans vouloir tout de suite spoiler le contenu de cet audit, je vais dire qu'il y a des personnes dont, éventuellement, l'opérateur économique, Mame Ravatomanga, plusieurs sociétés, dont il a des branches, pourraient être mises en cause dans les résultats de cet audit. Des sociétés qu'il contrôle de façon indirecte ? Voilà. Dans la filière du litchi, il y avait une société écran qui s'appelait Litchi Trading Company, LTC, et par laquelle transitaient les fonds entre importateurs et exportateurs. Et du coup, tous les exportateurs malgaches viennent d'être approchés par les enquêteurs du Bianco, le bureau indépendant anticorruption. Est-ce à dire que ce sont tous les exportateurs malgaches de Litchi qui ont trempé dans de graves détournements d'argent ? On ne va pas parler de détournement, on va parler d'évasion fiscale. Concernant le dossier Litchi, du groupement des exportateurs de litchi, en effet, il y a eu la création de cette entité qui s'appelle GEL, Groupement des Exportateurs de Litchi. Normalement, ce groupement devait être institué pour pouvoir acheter à des prix avantageux pour les producteurs et pour revendre à l'exportation à des prix avantageux pour l'État et les exportateurs, en termes de retour de rapatriement de devises. Mais ces exportateurs-là, donc, ils vont collecter la production des produits, des producteurs locaux, et ils vont revendre toute la production à une société qui s'appelle LTC, qui est basée à Maurice, et donc qui devient le principal débouché de toute la production malgache. Alors que ce LTC, il s'avère que ça appartient à quelques têtes des membres du GEL. Et cela, donc, s'apparente à plafonner les devises issues de cette exportation au niveau de la vente effectuée entre le GEL et les exportateurs. Après, la LTC, la LitchiTrading Company, va revendre toute la production à d'autres distributeurs qui sont vraiment les vrais distributeurs de l'litchi dans le monde. Mais leur chiffre d'affaires va s'arrêter au niveau de la LTC, qui reste à Maurice. La fameuse société écran ? Voilà, la fameuse société écran. Et donc, du coup, l'État malgache va pouvoir rapatrier juste les devises qui ont été payées au niveau du GEL vers LTC. Et ça s'arrête là. Ça permet de cacher une grande partie des bénéfices ? Ça permet de soustraire une grande partie des bénéfices issus de cette exportation de litchis. Et comme la société est mauricienne, même s'il y a quelques membres du GEL qui sont derrière cette société, Madagascar pense qu'il y a quand même une lésion envers l'État malgache et le fisc malgache, parce que nous, nous ne savons pas donc quel est le vrai chiffre d'affaires du GEL. Parce que ça s'arrête à Maurice. Et combien d'opérateurs économiques sont visés par cette enquête ? Je ne suis pas encore en mesure de vous donner des noms ni des chiffres. Parce que l'enquête est en cours. Ce dossier de GEL LTC est actuellement en instruction parallèle entre Bianco Madagascar, PNF en France. Le parquet national financier et la FCC à Maurice La commission d'enquête financière de l'île Maurice ? Voilà. Et pour cette enquête-là, le dossier a été déposé en 2021 par Transparency International. Et il a été réouvert ici à Madagascar à notre arrivée au mois d'octobre dernier. D'accord. Donc l'enquête redémarre depuis le mois d'octobre ? On va dire qu'elle a débuté à Madagascar depuis fin octobre. Donc l'enquête redémarre depuis le mois d'octobre ? Depuis le changement de régime ? Voilà. Ça je voulais le préciser. Donc là actuellement, je n'ai pas encore tous les éléments d'information parce qu'il y a des enquêtes là-dessus. Mais ce qui est sûr, c'est que Mame Ravatomanga est parmi les personnes qui sont directement ou indirectement dans le LTC. Mais ce sera les résultats de l'enquête qui vont le confirmer s'il dirige directement ou indirectement cette société. LTC, Litchi Trading Company, la fameuse société écran ? Dans tous les cas, il dirige cette société. Cette société lui appartient et c'est là que je dis directement ou indirectement. Et il y a d'autres personnes également, je pense. Mais on le saura plus tard. Et donc l'infraction qui est constituée dans ce dossier est donc une évasion fiscale au détriment de l'État malgache. Et l'Ile Maurice est donc coopérative pour identifier le montant et la gravité de l'évasion fiscale. Autre dossier emblématique, Madame la Ministre, celui de 5 avions Boeing 777 qui ont été livrés clandestinement à une compagnie iranienne, Mahan Air. Malgré les sanctions américaines contre l'Iran, les certificats d'immatriculation de ces 5 avions ont été décernés à Madagascar. Alors où en est l'enquête ? Actuellement, nous sommes également sur ce dossier conjointement avec Maurice, le FBI et Madagascar. Nous avons repris les enquêtes au fond sur les principales personnes auteurs ou co-auteurs ou témoins. Et nous avons convoqué l'ancien ministre des Transports, pour être entendu au niveau du pôle anticorruption. Mais son avocat a répondu que le pôle anticorruption n'était pas compétent pour entendre l'ancien ministre. Sur lequel nous avons répondu que selon l'article 134 de la Constitution, pour les infractions de crimes ou délits qui sont extérieures à la fonction de ministre, même les ministres et les personnes assujetties à la haute cour de justice sont justiciables devant les tribunaux de droit commun, donc le pôle anticorruption, sans passer par la haute cour de justice. D'accord. Donc on attend s'il va s'exécuter ou pas selon cet article 134. Il y a plusieurs autres personnes qui ont été indiquées. Et qui ont été réentendues dans le cadre de cette enquête. Elles sont passées en enquête au fond, devant le pôle anticorruption, dans le cadre de cette enquête. Je n'ai pas le nombre de personnes qui sont citées dans le dossier Alors on retrouve aussi dans ce dossier apparemment le nom de Mame Ravatomanga, le milliardaire qui s'est enfui à l'île Maurice. Puisque selon nos confrères du site d'information scoop.mu, c'est ce milliardaire qui aurait usé de ses bonnes relations, avec les autorités malgaches et l'aviation civile malgache, pour faire homologuer ces 5 Boeings à destination de l'Iran. Et pour cela il aurait touché une commission de 5 millions d'euros ? Oui en effet c'est ressorti dans le dossier qu'il a perçu ce montant de 5 millions d'euros ou de dollars, pour permettre la délivrance de la première immatriculation de ces 5 avions. Immatriculation provisoire. D'accord. ll y a 1, 2, 3, je pense qu'il y a plusieurs personnes qui ont soutenu ce fait. Mais surtout il y a 2 personnes qui sont les témoins clés, témoins mais mis en cause aussi, dans cette remise de somme d'argent. Notamment les personnes qui lui ont remis la somme, et la personne qui a servi d'intermédiaire à cette remise. Je ne peux pas vous dire les noms pour protéger leur témoignage, si elles sont également mises en cause. Mais donc il y a 2 personnes. Et c'est 2 personnes qui devaient confirmer ce fait Alors vous parlez du FBI, le bureau d'investigation fédéral des Etats-Unis. Est-ce qu'il y a actuellement sur le sol de Madagascar des inspecteurs du FBI ? Actuellement non, mais on a demandé leur collaboration sur ce dossier. Je pense qu'ils sont encore sur ce dossier, mais aux Etats-Unis, mais pas encore à Madagascar. Alors quand le milliardaire Mame Ravatomanga a quitté Madagascar pour l'île Maurice, vous avez été mandatée, vous n'étiez pas encore ministre à l'époque, vous avez été mandatée par les nouvelles autorités malgaches pour aller à Port-Louis et pour obtenir l'extradition de monsieur Ravatomanga. Où en est la procédure ? Je vais rectifier. Ma mission sur Maurice, c'était de représenter le nouveau gouvernement, les nouveaux dirigeants de l'Etat malgache pour suivre le dossier et faire toutes les diligences concernant ce dossier. Et donc rapporter à Maurice toutes les infractions, toutes les actions commises sur Madagascar par Ravatomanga et consorts, faire un état de toutes les procédures qui existent à Madagascar contre Mame Ravatomanga et consorts, appuyer la plainte qui a été déposée par un Malgache à Maurice contre Mame Ravatomanga et consorts, et dans le cadre de tout cela, faire écho d'un mandat d'arrêt international décerné à Madagascar contre Mame Ravatomanga, et ce mandat d'arrêt doit être soldé par une extradition. Une extradition à la fin de toutes ces procédures, en sachant qu'une extradition ne peut être effectuée qu'à la fin d'une procédure. Quelle est la situation judiciaire de Mame Ravatomanga aujourd'hui à l'île Maurice ? Il est en état d'arrestation et comme son état de santé s'est dégradé depuis son arrivée à Maurice jusqu'à ce jour, il est en état d'arrestation mais il passe donc sa détention dans une clinique privée ou dans un hôpital. Son statut juridique est un état d'arrestation. Et que souhaitez-vous maintenant à son sujet ? Nous souhaitons poursuivre l'enquête sur les plusieurs dossiers dans lesquels il est impliqué à Madagascar et nous avons demandé des commissions rogatoires internationales à Maurice pour pouvoir faire ses auditions et les enquêtes sur sa personne, sur les personnes qui pourraient être impliquées avec lui et qui sont actuellement sur Maurice, notamment toute sa famille et ses collaborateurs et également faire des enquêtes financières sur ses sociétés à Maurice, conjointement avec la FCC. La commission d'enquête financière mauricienne. Et si au bout de cette enquête il y a procès, est-ce que vous souhaitez qu'il ait lieu à Maurice ou à Madagascar ? Je pense que pour l'instant il est plus judicieux qu'il reste à Maurice car à partir du moment où il sort de Maurice, on n'est plus sûr de rien. On n'est pas sûr qu'il va arriver à Madagascar, on n'est pas sûr qu'il va atterrir à Madagascar ou dans un autre pays. Sauf s'il y a extradition. L'extradition, je vous le dis, c'est après une condamnation. Nous pouvons le condamner ici à Madagascar et le faire condamner également à Maurice et ce ne serait qu'après cette condamnation qu'il va devoir rejoindre les prisons malgaches parce qu'en fait l'extradition c'est, on va dire, la réalisation d'un emprisonnement sur le territoire d'origine. C'est-à-dire ? C'est-à-dire malgache, là où s'est perpétrée l'infraction. Donc si je comprends bien, au bout de l'enquête actuelle, il pourrait y avoir un procès à Madagascar en l'absence de M. Ravatomanga. Et en cas de condamnation, il pourrait être ensuite extradé de Maurice à Madagascar, c'est ça ? Oui, et il pourrait également être jugé à Maurice par les autorités mauriciennes et peut-être soldé par une condamnation si les faits sont avérés. Il pourrait donc y avoir deux procès en parallèle ? Un à Maurice et un à Madagascar ? Exactement. Mais sur des faits différents alors ? Sur des faits différents. Au moment de l'insurrection du mois d'octobre, beaucoup d'autres dignitaires de l'ancien régime se sont enfuis, à commencer par le président, Andry Radjoelina, le Premier ministre, le président du Sénat. Alors du coup, beaucoup de Malgaches se demandent pourquoi vous n'avez pas lancé contre eux des mandats d'arrêt internationaux alors que vous l'avez fait contre M. Ravatomanga ? Si, on en a fait contre l'ancien maire de Tana. Il est impliqué dans un dossier où il y a plusieurs personnes qui sont placées sous mandat de dépôt et où lui-même est inculpé. Mais il a pu se soustraire à l'arrestation. On a lancé un mandat d'arrêt à Madagascar et internationaux contre lui au cas où il arriverait à sortir de Madagascar. Mais pour les autres, les mandats d'arrêt internationaux ne peuvent être faits que sur la base d'une procédure déjà ouverte. Or, aucune procédure n'a été ouverte, ni contre le président Andry Rajoelina, ni contre l'ancien Premier ministre, ni contre l'ancien président du Sénat ? Pas encore. Et justement, quelles sont les personnes contre qui vont être ouvertes des procédures ? Je ne dirais pas les noms parce qu'il y en a qui sont encore à Madagascar et qui risquent de s'enfuir si je vais dire les noms. Il y a des procédures qui ont déjà été ouvertes. Par exemple, pour Mame Ravatomanga, il y a eu ls Boeing 777. Il y a le dossier GEL-LTC. Avec ces deux procédures-là, qui étaient au PNF et au Bianco, il y a eu un mandat d'arrêt pour pouvoir permettre aux juridictions compétentes de procéder à une enquête envers Mame Ravatomanga. Il y a eu une procédure ouverte au niveau du Bianco et du pôle anticorruption contre Le Maire de Tana et Consort. Et comme il n'a pas pu se présenter à cette enquête, un mandat d'arrêt international a été décerné à son encontre également pour pouvoir le présenter devant la justice. On parle du maire d'Antananarivo ? On parle de l'ancien maire, oui. Pour Andry Rajoelina, en tant qu'ancien président, il faut qu'il soit présent. Il faut qu'il y ait une procédure ouverte et nous sommes en train de voir quelles sont les possibilités, ainsi que les autres membres du gouvernement. On est en train également de voir quelles sont les possibilités. Et une fois que ces possibilités de poursuites sont ouvertes, des convocations vont être envoyées. Convocations d'abord et puis mandat d'arrêt après. Et s'ils ne sont pas à Madagascar, donc des mandats d'arrêt internationaux. C'est comme ça en fait les procédures. On ne peut pas lancer tout de suite un mandat d'arrêt. Il faut d'abord qu'on ouvre l'enquête. Qu'on fasse les convocations. Et s'il est avéré que la personne n'est pas à Madagascar, on lance le mandat d'arrêt. Donc vous envisagez une procédure contre l'ancien président Andry Rajoelina ? Bien sûr. Pour toutes les personnes qui ont commis des infractions dans ce pays, il y aura des procédures qui seront ouvertes contre elles, y compris Andry Rajoelina. Et contre Andry Rajoelina, cette procédure pourrait-elle être ouverte d'ici la fin de l'année ? Bien sûr, avant la fin de l'année. Donc dans les semaines qui viennent ? Je ne pourrais pas vous dire dans combien de temps. Avant la fin de l'année. Et sur quelle base ? Sur quels faits précis ? Quand la procédure sera ouverte, vous aurez la communication là-dessus. Plus les avocats de la défense savent moins longtemps à l'avance, moins ils peuvent se défendre. Et préparer leurs alibis. Donc je ne peux pas vous dire sur quelle base on va les inculper avant d'entamer la procédure. C'est sûr qu'ils vont être poursuivis. Mais on ne peut pas vous dire là tout de suite sur quelle base. Sinon ils vont anticiper les preuves, ils vont préparer leur défense, leurs alibis, etc. Et ça rentre dans le cadre du secret de l'instruction. C'est sûr que l'ancien président Andry Rajoelina va être poursuivi ? Voilà. Donc ça c'est une certitude. Alors on sait que beaucoup d'avoirs...Et je pense que lui-même, il n'ignore pas qu'il a commis des infractions dans ce pays.

This week, I'm kind of on a soapbox. It seems that some people will keep asking about LTC insurance until someone tells them they don't need it. No one knows if we'll need help living at some point or not. We need to ask ourselves who the insurance is going to help. We're going to get care whether we plan or not. We need to ask oursleves who wil suffer the consequences of our failure to plan. It's the people helping us. We say we don't want to "burden our family", but by not discussing where we want to live, who we want helping us and how we will pay for care, by default, we are burdening them. Please review current and projected costs of care where you live here and please use at least a 4% annual increase in costs as we've seen that and more across the country over the last three decades.

Aging Life Care Manager® Roundtable Discussion

ProAging Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 6, 2025 63:09

In a world where aging brings complex challenges—from health shifts to family dynamics—professional guidance can transform overwhelm into empowerment. On November 5, 2025, Positive Aging host Steve Gurney led a lively roundtable with three seasoned Aging Life Care Managers®: Mindy Lee of ElderTree Care Management (Northern Virginia), Teresa Boring of Aging Well Eldercare (Maryland), and Jennifer T. Szakaly of Caregiving Corner (Charlotte, NC). These pros, representing larger practices with teams of 10-21, shared how they orchestrate seamless aging journeys. If you're caring for a loved one or planning your own later years, this discussion offers practical wisdom.Aging Life Care Management isn't new—it's thrived since the 1980s as a holistic field blending social work, gerontology, and problem-solving. "We're experts in aging well," Szakaly explained. They partner with older adults to craft personalized plans, pivoting as needs evolve, to sidestep crises and amplify joy. The Aging Life Care Association® boasts over 2,000 members nationwide; find one at aginglifecare.org by zip code—urban areas yield dozens, rural spots may need broader searches.Panelists drew vivid analogies: Mindy as the "orchestra conductor," harmonizing doctors, caregivers, families, and housing for safety and delight. Teresa likened it to "wedding planners for aging"—universal elements like care and finances, but tailored details, since no two strokes (or life stages) are identical. Jennifer emphasized their tagline: bridging today to aspirational tomorrows, whether independence or community living.All three entered via social work or gerontology, drawn to its impact. Mindy shifted from child welfare to nursing homes and home health, finding her passion in "what I couldn't envision doing anything else." Teresa's grad specialization in aging launched her dream role, starting Debbie's Angels program. Szakaly grew her solo gig into a 21-person team over 20 years, loving the "rewarding problem-solving."At the core? "What does living well look like for you?" Mindy urged. It's subjective—independence for some (like chat participant Irene), connections for others. They dive deep: initial visits uncover joys from lifelong hobbies, even in dementia, via art or music therapy. "We build plans around what brings joy," Mindy said, adapting if home isn't viable.Transitions to senior living demand nuance. Families often arrive mid-crisis—"five-alarm blaze," per Mindy—resistant to losing autonomy. Experts assess clinically (care levels), personally (preferences like quiet vs. vibrant), and financially (private pay, LTC insurance, Medicaid). Crucially, no kickbacks from communities ensure objectivity. "We tour with clients, spotting nuances like an introvert needing an 8-bed unit," Mindy noted. Teresa scouts under-the-radar gems with "fantastic care for decades." Jennifer stresses resident connections: "Pair Mom with a beanie baby collector buddy—game-changer."Home alternatives shine too. They vet co-housing, multigenerational setups, or modifications—handymen for grab bars, contractors for ramps—balancing sustainability against caregiver costs, which can soar regionally.Beyond housing, they advocate fiercely. Accompanying to doctors (scheduling, transport, notes) fills gaps in brief visits. "We've noticed unsteady gait—PT orders?" Mindy prompts. For Ed's mom with knee issues and walker reliance, home-visit docs vary by area, but managers facilitate everything: rides, in-car help, follow-ups.Therapies (OT, PT, speech) integrate seamlessly, in-home or community-based, per insurance. "We ensure what's needed, no matter the setting," Jennifer affirmed. Chatters like Leslie (therapist) and Melinda (community staff) praised this: managers enhance lifestyles, not compete.

This week on Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, Wendy sits down with Brooke Acre - independent financial advisor, NFLPA-certified planner, and long-term care expert to talk about the one topic everyone avoids until it’s too late: long-term care planning. Brooke brings 20+ years of experience and a whole lot of heart as she breaks down: Why 70% of people will need care as they age Why Medicare doesn’t cover what most families assume it does How to avoid the financial and emotional crisis that blindsides families The #1 mistake people make with traditional LTC policies (and how to avoid it) A modern approach to LTC planning that protects both spouses, preserves assets, and even leaves a legacy Real-life stories that show exactly why planning early matters Wendy and Brooke also unpack the tough questions families fight about: Who makes the decisions? Where does the care happen? How do you pay for it? And what happens when siblings disagree? If you want peace of mind instead of panic mode, this episode is an eye-opener. Connect with Brooke:

Don and Tom unpack why even smart, financially literate people sometimes need a financial advisor — prompted by Morningstar's Christine Benz explaining why she hires one. They explore the value of second opinions, professional organization, tax guidance, spending permission, and succession planning. The conversation also draws lines around who doesn't need an advisor (DIY investors under 50 with good discipline) versus who does (retirees, disorganized investors, and anyone over 65 facing complexity). Later, they tackle listener questions about small-cap value ETFs — comparing AVUV, DFSV, and SLYV — and close with a retirement scenario review for a disciplined 77-year-old federal retiree.

CypherStack is a privacy-focused research and development company behind Stack Wallet. Diego handles strategy while Brandon and Luke lead the mathematical research for Monero. They discussed their contributions to FCMPs, a major upgrade aimed at improving Monero's privacy and scalability. While critics from the Zcash community call FCMPs “unproven,” the team explained that it uses well-established mathematics, not untested theory. They also compared Monero's community-driven model with Zcash's corporate structure, noting strengths and trade-offs in both approaches. Despite praising Zcash's Halo 2 privacy tech, they argue Monero's privacy-by-default design gives it a real-world edge.On timelines, Diego said FCMPs are “three steps from the finish line” but still tackling technical challenges.
