The conversation explores how Tether went from a “quilted collection of red flags” to becoming crypto's dominant stablecoin, its noteworthy relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX, and its current political maneuvering.

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran talks with three individuals committed to exposing cryptocurrency scams and drawing attention to imprisoned investigative journalist Mech Dara, who is responsible for uncovering the horrific conditions and practices within Cambodian-based crypto fraud compounds. Zeke Faux, author of “Number Go Up,” Danielle Keeton-Olsen, a freelance journalist based in Phnom Penh, and Erin West, Deputy District Attorney, Santa Clara County CA, discuss Dara's treatment by the Cambodian government and its seeming indifference to fraud compounds that enslave tens of thousands and operate in plain sight, causing the financial ruin of millions around the world. During the podcast, Erin touches on the success law enforcement has had in recovering some victims' money, Zeke calls on VASPs to do more to interdict crypto fraud funds, and Danielle identifies some of the organizations working for Dara's release.
Zeke Faux, author of Number Go Up, notes that Bitcoin prices have tripled since the initial release of the book. "Bitcoin has totally launched into the world," he says, but there's been "no buzz" to move the price up. He details findings on crypto adoption in governments across the globe, and highlights the scams affecting crypto investors from FTX to "pig butchering." ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join author Mark Goodwin as he explores the concept of the Bitcoin-Dollar in his new book, uncovering a new economic monomyth. Dive into the world of cryptocurrency and economics with this thought-provoking read.Explore the concept of the Bitcoin-Dollar in this thought-provoking video by Mark Goodwin. Learn about this new economic monomyth.The Bitcoin-Dollar: An Economic MonomythBy Mark GoodwinHear it Here - https://adbl.co/4dbk0bI00:00:00 An Economic Monomyth 00:01:16 The Birth of the Bitcoin-Dollar00:07:03 But in 2007, there was Ben Bernanke00:16:22 Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin00:24:18 Nearly four times as much profit was generatedhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN7BC98Q Money is a technological tool that communicates settlement between parties. The ultimate goal of money is to transmit trust within context, typically over time and over space. The distinction of the need for value settlement between time and space has allowed for a separation between commodity and currency. The dollar has arguably been the closest we have seen to succeeding at both of these tasks until the launch of Bitcoin at the start of 2009. The transitional period we will experience is simply the current iteration of an eternal concept of humans and money – an economic monomyth. If this book could have been written without using the words dollar or bitcoin, it would have. Yet an economic system that grows and regulates itself purely by the actions of its participants and not its rulers distorts the status quo. Bitcoin is a state change of money, settlement, and economic policy that takes us out from underneath the poles of the currency and commodity dichotomy.“In a world where money is abundant, you will find your freedoms are not. Consider the implications of The Bitcoin-Dollar.”—HodlMagoo, Bitcoin Nym“A sobering look at how Bitcoin could evolve to interact with our wider financial system, without the ‘Number Go Up' noise or cultish certainty of predestined domination.”—Shinobi, Bitcoin Researcher and Author“A novel meditation on the implications of a world defined by competing Bitcoin, crypto, and fiat financial systems, Goodwin's book is a timely addition to the canon. More than ever, Bitcoin is distinguishing itself as the world's first apolitical money. Goodwin is among the few writers exploring the implications of this powerful transformation.”—Pete Rizzo, Bitcoin Historian at Bitcoin Magazine“Mark Goodwin's The Bitcoin-Dollar comes at a critical time in Bitcoin's existence now that it has pierced the firmament of the mainstream. Chock full of easily recallable quotes from the likes of John Nash and Jorge Luis Borges, his book serves as a call to action by asking questions and providing potential answers for how Bitcoin might work in a world where the U.S. dollar will continue to exist. Goodwin achieves this through a smart, succinct dive into the idealism of Bitcoin and pairs it with a balanced, realistic view of the world that is sorely lacking elsewhere. Mandatory reading for the learned Bitcoiner and will remain on my desk for the foreseeable future.”—George Kaloudis, Senior Research Analyst at CoinDesk“The Bitcoin-Dollar gives an incredible overview of why Bitcoin won't replace the U.S. dollar system but will become the dollar system. A must-read for anyone interested in finance, economics, and the future of democracy.”—L0la L33tz, Author and Privacy AdvocateMark Goodwin is an author, journalist, photographer, and the current Editor-in-Chief of...

Send us a Text Message.Every year, people around the world lose millions of dollars to a sophisticated scam known as “the pig butchering romance scam”. The scam takes its name from the victims, who the scammers call “pigs” that they "fatten up" before slaughter. It usually begins with a text message that appears to be a wrong number. People who respond are lured into a long conversation with a good-looking and wealthy stranger who eventually offers to teach them how to make money with crypto investments. The investments are (of course) fake, and once victims send enough of their money, the scammers disappear. Victims frequently lose their life savings, and often the crime goes unreported because the victim is so embarrassed by what happened. A Kansas banker embezzled almost $50 million dollars from his bank as part of a pig-butchering scam, leading to the bank's failure.In the bestselling book - Number Go Up by Zeke Faux, it was revealed that the people sending the messages are frequently victims themselves. In today's video we explore how the scam works and why cryptocurrencies like tether are to blame for the huge scale of this crime.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle on YouTubeZeke Faux - Number Go Up: https://amzn.to/3XJV7Q1BBC Pig Butchering Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW4wYV0V-5sGriffin & Mei Paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4742235#:~:text=The%20perpetrators%20interact%20freely%20with,Binance%2C%20Huobi%2C%20and%20OKX.

Raoul Pal is the Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision and the Founder of Global Macro Investors. Raoul candidly opens up about dealing with massive FUD in early 2023, the impact it had on him, and how he not only overcame the FUD but also doubled down on personal branding and ended up being one of the few ones who publicly went all in SOL when it wasn't a consensus trade last year. We also go through many other topics: - how the crypto industry is literally built to make you “fuck this up” - where the big blow ups might come from this cycle - why some NFTs are about to go Bananas and why Beeple and Xcopy are the alpha - why Raoul is now more interested by NFTs than by meme coins - what's the “next SOL” - what could make Raoul change his mind on $SOL - why people in their early 30ies are f*cked and why everyone has “2 jobs” today - why diversification is dead - Crypto, the super massive black hole! - the Banana Zone (of course) And much much more! This conversation is a masterclass on how to build wealth in crypto over the next 8 years (not 8 weeks!) and on how everyone can benefit from this truly generational wealth building opportunity! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN 'KEVIN X SWISSBORG ALPHA CLUB' TO GET BEST ALPHA FROM THE BIGGEST BUILDERS

Lewis A. Kaplan has been a district court judge for almost 30 years, but even he was staggered by the audacity of Sam Bankman-Fried. “When he wasn't outright lying, he was evasive, hairsplitting, dodging questions,” Kaplan said when he handed the FTX fraudster a 25 year prison sentence last week. Zeke Faux, a reporter for Bloomberg, was there to watch the sentencing. He's met SBF a few times – before and after his multi-billion dollar scam came crashing down. This week on Whale Hunting, host Tom Wright chats to Zeke about Kaplan's fury, how SBF reacted to his sentence and why his victims still aren't happy. They also discuss the surprising bounce-back of FTX's assets, and how crypto's 'number go up' mentality just won't quit. You can find Zeke's book, Number Go Up, online and in all good bookshops.

What happened when El Salvador made Bitcoin an official currency? Who uses cryptocurrency the most? How does the blockchain both help and hinder would-be scam artists and criminals?Zeke Faux is a reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News, a National Fellow at New America, and the author of Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall.Zeke and Greg discuss crypto bubbles, the crypto space, and the memorable characters Zeke encountered, such as Sam Bankman Fried. Zeke explains his investigations into Tether, the mass scamming compounds in Southeast Asia, and his personal experiences within this fluctuating industry when he bought his own Mutant Ape NFT.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why crypto investors overcome risks18:25: If you are making a crypto investment and your money is on some DeFi exchange or some centralized exchange, that seems pretty good. What kind of yield would you want just to let them hold your money? It'd have to be a pretty high-yield investment just to get over the risk that something unforeseen will happen, right? There's some chance that even if it seems great, that's something you didn't think is wrong with this because it keeps happening again and again in crypto. And I think what makes these people overcome is that they're not dumb. They know that these risks are there, the crypto investors. But they think, okay, maybe there's a 10% chance that something goes wrong here…[19:22] That's what makes people overcome everything: this desire to get rich quick, in this sense that it's possible because they've seen a lot of other people do it and get rich.The difference between internet and crypto bubble07:29: In crypto, the crypto guys do use crypto, but only to buy it. It's not serving any purpose other than just buying it, trading it, and doing things within this crypto world. Whereas with the internet, it was clearly a lot of fun, and it was affecting a lot of parts of real life. The internet bubble got way ahead of what could be justified by how much money these companies were making. But to me, there was never any doubt that the internet was a powerful innovation that was going to change our lives.Exploring 'Number Go Up' psychology in blockchain03:29: The key to it is psychology, and the title "Number Go Up" comes from this saying that I heard at my first crypto conference in 2021. I flew down to Miami. I thought I would hear more about technology. I thought I'd see bankers or fintech entrepreneurs who had ideas about how they're going to disrupt the financial system with this new technology, replace intermediaries, and make global transfers faster and cheaper. And instead, I heard this guy on stage saying, "Our technology is called number go up, and number go up technology means the price goes up, and that makes people excited, and they buy more, and the price goes up more, and then more people get excited, and pretty soon, Bitcoin is going to be at a million." And I just couldn't believe it. I was like, "Is that what it's really all about?"The treatment of crypto wallet transactions vs. traditional banking in stablecoins37:25: I can open a PayPal account, and I send money to PayPal. And now I have PayPal dollars that I can zap to your account. And that's not so different from a stablecoin. However, PayPal wants to know who I am. They follow all the banking rules and regulations about knowing your customer. They want to know who you are. You can't hold PayPal dollars without disclosing your identity. However, if I have a crypto wallet on my phone, like Metamask or any of the tons of other options, I can hold tethers on my phone and send them to your phone without disclosing any identifying information. And it seems like it's a very similar transaction that's treated very differently by regulators right now. And I just wonder if that will continue, especially if stablecoins keep growing.Show Links:Recommended Resources:BlockchainBitcoinDogecoinDecentralized financeSam Bankman-FriedTetherBitfinexCantor FitzgeraldGuest Profile:ZekeFaux.comProfile at NewAmerica.orgLinkedIn ProfileSocial Profile on XWikipedia ProfileHis Work:Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering FallBloomberg Articles
You MUST read this book by this week's guest, Zeke Faux. Number Go Up is a fantastic read for all things crypto. Zeke takes us through the various parts of crypto from APE parties to Southeast Asia and of course SBF aka Sam Bankman Fried. I can't believe this is his first book.

The cryptosphere is, well, cryptic. Even the best of the best find it hard to explain the whole thing without fumbling. Zeke Faux has managed to put it all together in his fascinating book, "Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall". Zeke planted himself within the crypto-mad community to learn more about the trade. He has interviewed Sam Bankman-Fried, among others, to understand what the biggies were up to. Incidentally, "Number Go Up" was referenced a few times during the former crypto king's recent trial where he was charged with multiple counts of fraud. To research the wider consequences, Zeke visited Cambodia to uncover the underbelly of the industry where people are being held captive or trafficked. We are yet to see a solid application of the technology that powers cryto. When that will be is anybody's guess. Until then, if there is one book that you should read to understand where we stand so far, read this one.
Ravi is joined by Zeke Faux from Bloomberg to discuss his new book, "Number Go Up." The book takes readers on a rollercoaster journey through the crypto world, covering everything from its shady beginnings and huge leap into the limelight to its dramatic crash.

Kieran talks with Zeke Faux, author of critically acclaimed “Number Go Up,” a comprehensive look at cryptocurrency, DeFi, and NFTs. Zeke, an investigative reporter for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Bloomberg News, discusses the trek he undertook to understand the boom and sometimes bust of various blockchain offerings. It was a journey that included a New York harbor NFT “ApeFest,” time in the Philippines with erstwhile Axis Infinity gamers who lost everything, a visit to a hotel in Cambodia attached to a “pig butchering” operation, and finally a marathon interview with Sam Bankman-Fried in the Bahamas days before his arrest.
The gang discusses the Harvard debacle (and Sam's run for the Board of Overseers), why double-bottom lines are challenging, tech regulation, and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspod/message

Author Zeke Faux joins the podcast to discuss his findings while writing his absurdist masterpiece of a book titled "Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall."
In this episode, we're talking about how money FOMO, among other things, can make you vulnerable to scams and how to avoid being a victim. Cryptocurrency was all the rage for a couple of years, and it seemed nothing could go wrong. It was a very social experience. In 2022, 31% of new crypto investors got started with advice from a friend. On top of that, 10% of investors cited the fear of missing out, or FOMO, as a reason to get into the market. When inexperienced investors flood into fad investments like crypto, scammers aren't far behind. And that's exactly what happened with crypto. The market collapsed, and thousands of would-be millionaires had their savings wiped out. Let's make sure crap like this doesn't happen to you. Host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Today investigative reporter Zeke Faux, author of the book Number Go Up, just named a book of the year by the Washington Post, will join us to talk about how the fear of missing out can lead to scams.

In his new book "Number Go Up," Bloomberg News investigative reporter Zeke Faux takes readers on a wild ride through the world of cryptocurrency, from its origins in the dark corners of the internet, its meteoric rise to mainstream popularity, and finally its equally precipitous fall. A few days after the 'convicted' verdict in the trial of beleaguered crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), Faux joins Bethany and Luigi to make a case for why we should judge cryptocurrency by what it has done and not what it can do. They discuss whether it is too soon to write crypto off, what larger commentary it offers about capitalism, and why Luigi, who teaches a popular MBA course on fintech, feels "crypto is money that can only be created by computer scientists who don't understand history."Show Notes: Revisit a 2017 Stigler Center mini-course by NYU Stern Professor David Yermack on the potential implications of blockchain technologies on the future of finance.
In the latest episode of CoinGeek Conversations, Jack Pitts, founder of Slictionary, Brendan Lee, founder of Elas Digital and CoinGeek's Charles Miller delve into Zeke Faux's new book, Number Go Up. Faux, a journalist from Bloomberg Businessweek, takes readers on a journey through the crypto world, focusing on characters like Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX, the cultural phenomenon of Bored Apes, and the mysteries of Tether's $68 billion valuation. The book's format, a first-person narrative, fascinated Jack, who said he enjoyed the informal style. Faux's approach reflected the author's personal experience as he became a character in the story. Brendan found the storytelling engaging, describing it as an adventure that kept him hooked: “the author managed to get into the offices of several of these really high flying crypto executives. And I mean, it kind of reads like a bit of an adventure.” Charles discussed the evolution of Faux's perspective from a seemingly innocent article about Sam Bankman-Fried to a more critical stance, especially regarding FTX's legitimacy. The conversation touched on the author's initial portrayal of FTX as a “thought experiment”, later questioning its potential scam-like nature. A discussion on Tether's central role in the crypto world surfaced, with Brendan raising concerns about Tether's backing and its potential impact on the overall economy. He emphasized that Tether's $68 billion valuation should have corresponding funds in a bank account. They discussed the suspicions surrounding Tether's operations, with concerns about its actual reserves and its role in market manipulation. “I suspect and a lot of people in the BSV community as well, that Tether, there's not much money there at all,” Brendan asserted. Jack meanwhile argued that regulators should focus on auditing the trading practices of platforms like Binance and Bitfinex rather than questioning Tether's reserves. “What they need to audit is not what's backing the treasure chest. They need to audit how the treasure chest was obtained, which means they need an audit of Binance. They need an audit of Bitfinex and an audit of Tether to find out what trades were being made, how they were being made, and what dirty people they were trading with, and how they were manipulating prices to basically make themselves all that money.” The conversation turned to the NFT craze, with Jack criticizing the quality of the digital assets. “I think the funniest thing about the NFT craze is the levels of ideocracy behind it. So first of all, the pictures themselves aren't even on the Ethereum blockchain. And yet the funny thing about these NFTs is they have to be really low 1980s quality pictures.” Brendan brought up the exploitative nature of some artists profiting from NFTs. “I was reading about these people who were creating NFTs and they were paying the artists, like $10 to create all of this material and then going and making $10 million from selling them. It's not just lazy, but it's exploitative.” They proceeded to discuss a section of Faux's book, which delves into the bizarre world of Bored Apes and how Faux risked $20,000 of his own money to purchase an Ape, with the goal of gaining access to an exclusive party and later selling the digital asset. The Bored Ape phenomenon represents the broader NFT craze, as discussed by the participants. They critiqued the low-quality, pixelated images of these digital assets. “I find the whole Bored Ape kind of hype cycle which I think really has largely ended now seems to be one of the strangest things that's happened in crypto,” Brendan noted. A significant part of the book explor
Bonjour à tous,Voici un nouvel épisode de notre série “À deux voix” consacré au monde des cryptos et aux nombreux délits et arnaques qu'il a engendrés. Il y a quelques jours, Sam Bankman-Fried, l'ancienne star des cryptomonnaies, fondateur de la plateforme FTX, a été reconnu coupable d'association de malfaiteurs et de blanchiment d'argent. Après 5 semaines d'un procès suivi par tous les médias, le jury à New York a rendu son verdict : coupable. Au-delà de l'affaire FTX, l'une des affaires de blanchiment les plus spectaculaires de l'histoire de la finance, que dire du monde des cryptos dans son ensemble ? Systèmes Ponzi, fraudes, manipulations, extortions en tout genre, les délits y sont-ils endémiques ? Si oui, pourquoi ?Bonne écoute !Au fil de notre conversation, nous discutons :* De l'affaire FTX ;* Du personnage de Sam Bankman-Fried ;* Du storytelling de SBF et son échec face au jury ;* De son storytelling capillaire ;* De l'hubris et de l'arrogance des “génies” de la Silicon Valley ;* Des cryptomonnaies et de l'absence de réglementation et surveillance ;* De Tether ;* Des ICO (offres initiales de pièces) frauduleuses ;* Du livre Number Go Up du journaliste Zeke Faux ;* Des fermes à extortion au Cambodge ;* Des influenceurs et acteurs qui ont vendu les cryptomonnaies ;* De l'avenir des cryptos…Les startups, c'est fini ? (conversation “À deux voix”)
Aside from the fact that cryptocurrency has lost its luster in recent years, it also has a host of other problems. First of all there's the climate issue since crypto requires a ton of energy. Then there's the trust issue because without trust you don't have widespread adoption and what good is crypto if there isn't a critical mass of users? And then on top of that you add the recent developments of Sam Bankman-Fried's conviction of stealing billions of dollars from customers at FTX. Knowing that money laundering and wire fraud were being committed… that doesn't build trust! Every transaction seems like a scam waiting to happen, and few folks know this better than our guest Zeke Faux. We're lucky to be joined by Zeke as he has documented the rise and fall of crypto over the past few years in his new book Number Go Up, which took him everywhere from El Salvador, to Cambodia, and ultimately SBF's penthouse in the Bahamas.

In 2021 cryptocurrency went mainstream. Giant investment funds were buying it, celebrities like Tom Brady endorsed it, and TV ads hailed it as the future of money. Hardly anyone knew how it worked—but why bother with the particulars when everyone was making a fortune from Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, or some other bizarrely named “digital asset”? As he observed this frenzy, investigative reporter Zeke Faux had a nagging question: Was it all just a confidence game of epic proportions? What started as curiosity—with a dash of FOMO—would morph into a two-year, globe-spanning quest to understand the wizards behind the world's new financial machinery. Faux's investigation would lead him to a schlubby, frizzy-haired twenty-nine-year-old named Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF for short) and a host of other crypto scammers, utopians, and overnight billionaires. Faux follows the trail to a luxury resort in the Bahamas, where SBF boldly declares that he will use his crypto fortune to save the world. Faux talks his way onto the yacht of a former child actor turned crypto impresario and gains access to “ApeFest,” an elite party headlined by Snoop Dogg, by purchasing a $20,000 image of a cartoon monkey. In El Salvador, Faux learns what happens when a country wagers its treasury on Bitcoin, and in the Philippines, he stumbles upon a Pokémon knockoff mobile game touted by boosters as a cure for poverty. And in an astonishing development, a spam text leads Faux to Cambodia, where he uncovers a crypto-powered human-trafficking ring. When the bubble suddenly bursts in 2022, Faux brings readers inside SBF's penthouse as the fallen crypto king faces his imminent arrest. Fueled by the absurd details and authoritative reporting that earned Zeke Faux the accolade “our great poet of crime” (Money Stuff columnist Matt Levine), Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall (Crown, 2023) is the essential chronicle, by turns harrowing and uproarious, of a $3 trillion financial delusion.

In 2021 cryptocurrency went mainstream. Giant investment funds were buying it, celebrities like Tom Brady endorsed it, and TV ads hailed it as the future of money. Hardly anyone knew how it worked—but why bother with the particulars when everyone was making a fortune from Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, or some other bizarrely named “digital asset”? As he observed this frenzy, investigative reporter Zeke Faux had a nagging question: Was it all just a confidence game of epic proportions? What started as curiosity—with a dash of FOMO—would morph into a two-year, globe-spanning quest to understand the wizards behind the world's new financial machinery. Faux's investigation would lead him to a schlubby, frizzy-haired twenty-nine-year-old named Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF for short) and a host of other crypto scammers, utopians, and overnight billionaires. Faux follows the trail to a luxury resort in the Bahamas, where SBF boldly declares that he will use his crypto fortune to save the world. Faux talks his way onto the yacht of a former child actor turned crypto impresario and gains access to “ApeFest,” an elite party headlined by Snoop Dogg, by purchasing a $20,000 image of a cartoon monkey. In El Salvador, Faux learns what happens when a country wagers its treasury on Bitcoin, and in the Philippines, he stumbles upon a Pokémon knockoff mobile game touted by boosters as a cure for poverty. And in an astonishing development, a spam text leads Faux to Cambodia, where he uncovers a crypto-powered human-trafficking ring. When the bubble suddenly bursts in 2022, Faux brings readers inside SBF's penthouse as the fallen crypto king faces his imminent arrest. Fueled by the absurd details and authoritative reporting that earned Zeke Faux the accolade “our great poet of crime” (Money Stuff columnist Matt Levine), Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall (Crown, 2023) is the essential chronicle, by turns harrowing and uproarious, of a $3 trillion financial delusion.

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, we talk with investigative reporter and author Zeke Faux about cryptocurrency and his book, "Number Go Up."
This week on Rational Security, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by their Lawfare colleague and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Senior Fellow Eric Ciaramella to discuss the week's big national security news, including:“PiS Off.” Elections in Poland appear set to oust the incumbent Law and Justice (or “PiS”) party, which has spent the past several years in power undermining many of the tenants of liberal democracy—that is, if the coalition of centrist and leftist groups that won a parliamentary majority can successfully form a government. What might this tell us about the authoritarian drift in Europe—and the extent to which it's reversible?“Gaza Under Siege.” Israel's military response to the massacre committed by Hamas is entering its second week, as rockets continue to rain down on Gaza, which remains cut off to most utilities, supplies, and humanitarian aid. President Biden, meanwhile, is in Israel showing his support, but has had to cancel meetings with Jordanian officials due to outrage over what Gaza authorities initially claimed—inaccurately, according to Israeli officials and the Biden administration—was an Israeli attack on a hospital there that killed more than 500 people. What is the trajectory of this conflict? Where is it headed?“Heir Jordan?” Conservative House judiciary committee chairman Jim Jordan is the latest possible inheritor of the Speakership in the House of Representatives, having won the nomination of the Republican caucus shortly after majority leader Steve Scalise went down in defeat on the floor. But Jordan also failed to win enough support for his colleagues in the first two votes on the floor. What does the state of the House mean for the country?For object lessons, Alan passed along his latest tonally off comfort watch: the British series A Spy Among Friends, which tells the story of notorious spy Kim Philby. Quinta recommended the new book, “Number Go Up,” by Zeke Faux. Scott urged folks to check out the surprisingly huggy and wholesome season 2 of The Bear. And secret musician Eric endorsed the Strong Songs podcast and its close look at the song writing process.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.

Zeke Faux, author of the new bestseller, Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall is Jen's guest today. Of all the books, and scholarly articles, and news stories, and blog posts, and legal complaints and, you get the idea… on crypto, Number Go Up is truly the first one to pull everything together in one place. And that result is something immensely entertaining and informative. And to be clear, this is not a condemnation of those other works, readers can learn so much from. Instead, it's an expression of high praise for what Zeke has accomplished here. If name-dropping is helpful for you in judging the strength of a book, then let me throw out a few who have heaped praise on Number Go Up. Evan Osnos National Book Award–winning author of Age of Ambition said: “This book is ludicrously compelling. I, quite literally, couldn't put it down—and I don't even care about crypto.” Matt Levine, the Money Stuff columnist said: “This book is what happens when the funniest financial journalist in America takes on the funniest story in modern finance. The results are as darkly hilarious as you could hope for.” Bethany McLean, author of The SMartest Guys in the Room (that was made into a brilliant documentary said “Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the mass delusion that was crypto.” Contact Booked Up: You can email Jen & the Booked Up team at: BOOKEDUP@POLITICON.COM or by writing to: BOOKED UP P.O.

“I'd pull back the curtain and there was nothing there.” The hype of crypto was real. Many of the use cases are still to be determined. Deidre Woollard caught up with Zeke Faux, an investigative reporter for Bloomberg and the author of “Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall.” They discuss: - Why investors are quick to throw belief out the window - What really happens at an NFT party with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Jimmy Fallon - Questions around stablecoins, and one company “quilted out of red flags” - What happens when you spend a book advance on a JPEG image Tickers discussed: USDT Host: Deidre Woollard Guest: Zeke Faux Producers: Ricky Mulvey, Mary Long Engineers: Dan Boyd, Annie Pope

I predict that Number Go Up will be considered the most fascinating and entertaining book in narrative non-fiction for 2023.Our guest is Zeke Faux, an investigative reporter. Several years ago, he was asked to check out Tether and the money supporting that cryptocurrency. Zeke had no idea that story would take him across the globe, logging many air miles along the way.If you are challenged or intimidated by the vocabulary surrounding cryptocurrencies, we attack about ten terms to lay the groundwork for the stories Zeke tells us later in the interview.
Wait a minute. For a couple of years there - 2020 through 2022 - everyone acted like bitcoin and even weirder crypto things were worth trillions of dollars. And cartoon apes were on Jimmy Fallon? And now none of us want to pretend that happened at all? Zeke Faux (@ZekeFaux) wants to talk about it with Vox's Peter Kafka. Faux is an investigative reporter for Bloomberg, and his new book Number Go Up chronicles the crazy crypto bubble, and Faux's worldwide hunt to uncover the truth behind one crucial coin. Along the way, Faux spends lots of time with accused fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, including a mind-blowing hangout when SBF was hiding out from the feds in a Bahamian penthouse. Faux's work is particularly timely because SBF is about to go on trial. but even beyond that, it's important to remember just how big crypto mania was - and to wonder if we will learn any lessons for the next bubble.

Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise & Staggering Fall with Zeke Faux On the day of publication, Bloomberg investigative reporter Zeke Faux, joins us to discuss his new book Number Go Up. Zeke followed Crypto's wild ride with a ring-side seat including being inside SBF's penthouse as the fallen crypto king faces his imminent arrest. In 2021, all the numbers went up. Billionaires were minted overnight. Crypto would change the world; former presidents and prime ministers lauded SBF as the next Steve Jobs, and stable coins would forever change banking. Commodity traders set up crypto desks. And then it all crashed. Will history view crypto as the world's biggest ever bubble - the mother of all madness of crowds - fueled by low-interest rates and bored investors stuck in lockdown? And what about those stable coins like Tether… has the real crash yet to come? Zeke Faux is an investigative reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News. He's a winner of the Gerald Loeb Award and the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award and a National Magazine Award finalist.
Today Bennett and Cas are joined by special guest Zeke Faux, journalist and author of the new book Number Go Up. Faux was able to gain access to SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried), Deltec executives, and the head of Tether while writing his book, which explores how cryptocurrency is being used for nefarious - and not so nefarious - reasons in the real world.

Aleks Svetski is the co-author of the UnCommunist Manifesto, as well as the Founder of the Bitcoin Times and the mobile Bitcoin app Amber. BUY THE UNCOMMUNIST MANIFESTO HERE: https://amzn.to/3PXEqKq https://www.uncommunist.com/ Aleks has become well-known in the Bitcoin space for his outspoken, direct, and aggressive defense of Bitcoin, making him a so-called "toxic maximalist.” Because he understands how important Bitcoin is from a MORAL perspective. And his new book "The UnCommunist Manifesto" is a rallying war cry for men and women to build a society on the back of a currency that cultivates us towards the good. Yes, Number Go Up is good. But Responsibility Go Up is better. And Communism Go Down might be the best. In our conversation we discussed: His hard-knock upbringing and "Steve Jobs" moment How Bitcoin is both an attractor and accelerant for personal growth Time preference and morality How savings is the cornerstone of civilization Bitcoin's new RGU technology Bushido, the Way of the Warrior His new book, The UnCommunist Manifesto. What if we stopped saying, "Money is the root of all evil." What if we could say in our hearts, "Money made us good." That's the case that Aleks makes, so hope you'll hear him out.

They want to be gatekeepers of the rules and regulations. It's in their interest to make as many rules as possible. They are taking part in an campaign of divide and conquer. Why do they want to start a campaign to blame an individual for others failing salon businesses? Why punch down? Surely you should be focussed on what sinister plot the government have planned for the industry. The idea that a young person who is starting on their hair and beauty career is responsible for Established salon businesses going under is absolutely ridiculous. Under the bus. Joe throws Marcus Rashford under a bus. The boy should be playing for England and instead is embroiled in politics. Sport and politics should not mix. His form has suffered ever since his tweet about school lunches. I bet Fergie would not be pleased. Sajid Javid - Is Aaron's choice. The man is a prize hypocrite. We have a clip where he gets very triggered in an interview with Kay Burley. He is essentially making 100k nurses and Doctors redundant and in the same breath saying its to minimise risk and protect the vulnerable. What a clown.

'œTheir goals were to separate money from governments and corporations, check the growth of the global surveillance state, and preserve human rights in an increasingly digital age. Satoshi Nakamoto's greatest trick was to animate these aspirations into something that looks like and functions as digital gold.' - Alex GladsteinAnother brilliant piece from Gladstein on why the Number Go Up technology is just the facade on the Freedom Go Up foundation of Bitcoin. As corporations, banks, & even governments adopt Bitcoin out of their own self-interest, they will unknowingly be stripping themselves of the asymmetry of power they currently hold over money.
