Tune in as they break down each jurisdiction's regulatory authority, unique prudential requirements and gradual shift toward European or Bermudian-style risk-based systems.

Sam Bankman-Fried makes his case for a retrial and aspiring crypto banks hit roadblocks. Originally published on November 7, 2025.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has been back at the center of crypto headlines over the past few days, sparking fresh controversy and chatter far beyond the courtroom. On his X account, Sam has published a new statement—alongside a longer 14 to 15-page document—boldly claiming that FTX was never actually insolvent. He insists the real issue was a liquidity crunch triggered by a classic bank run, not fraud or financial mismanagement. According to Sam, when FTX collapsed in November 2022, the exchange held $25 billion in assets against $8 billion in withdrawal demands, and if the panic had been weathered, customers and creditors could have been made whole. He blames his legal and bankruptcy teams led by John J. Ray III for forcing FTX into Chapter 11, mishandling and prematurely liquidating assets, and burning as much as $138 billion in value through discounted sales and legal fees. The estate's actions, he says, decimated the business and have been misrepresented to the public. Coinpaper notes that Sam repeats claims he was barred from fully presenting in court, arguing his prosecution ignored these key points.This narrative is not just coming from Sam directly—his mother, Barbara Fried, a Stanford Law professor, has gone public as well, circulating a 64-page “liquidity crisis” manifesto and attacking the trial judge and the Department of Justice for bias, all in a sprawling PR-and-legal campaign ahead of his upcoming November 4 appeal. CoinEdition frames this as a well-coordinated push to rebrand Sam from a disgraced CEO to a misunderstood financial whiz, with his family's media offensive suggesting the collapse was engineered by external parties for profit and reputational damage control.This new round of public statements and legal maneuvering comes on the eve of the Second Circuit appeal, which has attracted extensive media coverage, live podcast panels, and debate across both mainstream financial outlets and crypto Twitter. The move has reignited polarizing community debates—on X, critics and blockchain sleuths like ZachXBT are already blasting Sam for repeating what they see as discredited excuses and shifting central blame onto others. According to AInvest, the FTX bankruptcy estate continues to dispute Sam's calculations, pointing out that even after repayment efforts, many creditors are dealing with substantial losses, and that the physical value of repayments—despite some headlines citing “120% returns”—depends on semantics and market valuation.Headlines this weekend revolve around themes of “Was FTX Ever Insolvent?”, “SBF's PR Blitz Before His Make-or-Break Appeal,” and “$138 Billion Lost: SBF Blames Lawyers, Not Fraud.” Nothing in recent filings or public records supports his assertion that customer funds could have been entirely restored, and the bankruptcy court, along with the Justice Department, maintains its view that FTX's undoing was the result of secret backdoor maneuvering, extensive fraud, and reckless self-dealing—a view that led directly to Sam's 25-year prison sentence. For now he remains in prison, with his mother and legal team orchestrating this last-ditch campaign, and the crypto world watching what happens in court on November 4. The social and biographical impact of these latest events could be significant if the appeal gains traction, but as of now, even as Sam dominates headlines and drives debate, the legal establishment isn't budging.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of the Immigration Nerds Podcast, we explore how immigration directly impacts the solvency and sustainability of Social Security with economist Dr. Tara Watson, Director of the Center for Economic Security and Opportunity at the Brookings Institution.As America faces an aging population and declining birth rates, Dr. Watson explains how immigrants serve as economic contributors to our retirement systems, often paying far more into Social Security than they'll ever receive in benefits. She breaks down the demographic math behind our current crisis, presents evidence-based solutions that could extend Social Security's viability, and discusses how immigration policies might help. This episode will examine the data-driven relationship between immigration and one of America's most essential safety net programs.GUEST: Dr. Tara Watson, Director, Center for Economic Security and Opportunity, Brookings InstitutionHOST: Lauren ClarkeNEWS NERD: Rob Taylor PRODUCER: Adam Belmar

About one in five Americans receive retirement, survivor, disability, or supplemental income Social Security benefits. These payments represent a vital financial safety net, especially for retirees who have had modest lifetime earnings. This importance of Social Security makes reducing its benefits the “third rail” of American politics. But its pay-as-you-go structure – where today's workers fund today's retirees – threatens its fiscal solvency as fertility rates fall and aging baby boomers exit the labor force. Is there a way to keep the safety-net solvent? What's at stake if Social Security reform is unaddressed? Gopi Shah Goda joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these issues. Gopi is the Director of the Retirement Security Project, the Alice M. Rivlin Chair in Economic Policy, and Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at The Brookings Institution. She served as a Senior Economist for the Council of Economic Advisors in 2021 to 2022.

In the fourth episode of Skadden's yearlong podcast series on global prudential solvency requirements, host Robert Chaplin and associate James Pickstock explore the Cayman Islands' insurance regulatory landscape.

Rob and James discuss the Cayman Islands' insurance history, regulatory classifications, solvency capital requirements and investment rules. They also examine how the jurisdiction aligns closer to the U.S. solvency regime as opposed to Solvency II standards.

America stands at an economic precipice where the next few years will determine whether we face catastrophic collapse or unexpected revival.In this solo episode, we dive deep into the precarious state of America's economy and explore a potential path forward based on insights from Joe Withrow of the Phoenician League. The discussion examines the unprecedented economic situation facing the United States and presents a surprising perspective on how recent policy proposals could potentially avert a sovereign debt crisis.With nearly half of the national debt coming due in the next three years and interest payments projected to overtake Social Security by 2026, the solutions presented offer a radical rethinking of federal assets and how they might be leveraged to save America's financial future.Economic Reality Check: Current economic conditions are unprecedented in our lifetime, with interest payments on the national debt projected to surpass Social Security as the largest budget item by 2026 if nothing changes.Global Financial Power Struggle: The Federal Reserve appears engaged in a power struggle with European central banks, with implications for America's financial future despite the Fed's inherent flaws.Revolutionary Economic Approach: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's proposal for creating an External Revenue Service and a Sovereign Wealth Fund could transform government finances by properly valuing federal assets.Looming Debt Crisis: Nearly $17 trillion in US treasuries (almost half the national debt) is due over the next three years, requiring decisive action to prevent financial catastrophe.Innovative Asset Strategy: Leasing federal land for energy and mining, taking stakes in defense contractors, and leveraging gold reserves could generate hundreds of billions in annual revenue through a new Sovereign Wealth Fund.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction & Economic Crossroads 01:00 - Setting Up the Solo Episode Context03:00 - Macro vs Microeconomics Perspective05:00 - Joe Withrow's Insights on Global Economic Struggles10:00 - The Federal Reserve vs European Central Banks17:00 -  "Springtime for America" - Lutnick's Economic Proposal 20:00 - The Interest Payment Crisis Looming26:00 - Federal Government's Undervalued Assets33:00 - Treasury Bonds Coming Due in Next Three Years37:00 - Sovereign Wealth Fund Potential Revenue Sources45:00 -  Closing Thoughts on Statistics and ResponsibilityGot Questions?

US federal debt is currently almost as large as annual national income, something not seen before the pandemic. Expenditures like interest payments on the debt, military spending, and Social Security cannot be easily trimmed, and the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs act are likely to be extended, adding an estimated $5 trillion to the debt over the next decade. What are the likely consequences for the economy of rising debt? And how will this affect people's retirement, especially if there are cuts to Social Security? Wendy Edelberg and Ben Harris join EconoFact Chats to discuss these issues. Wendy is the director of the Hamilton Project and a Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at The Brookings Institution. She previously served as Chief Economist at the Congressional Budget Office. Ben is the Vice President and Director of Economic Studies at Brookings. He was Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy and Chief Economist at the Treasury Department in the Biden administration.

In the second episode in Skadden's yearlong podcast series on global prudential solvency requirements, host Robert Chaplin and colleague Abraham Alheyali discuss the regulatory regime in Bermuda, a global center for insurance and reinsurance. More than 30 major firms underwrite from the country, and it is the largest supplier of catastrophe reinsurance to U.S. insurers. Rob and Abraham discuss the Bermuda Monetary Authority's (BMA's) regulatory approach toward different types of insurers and reinsurers, the four key concepts in Bermuda's prudential regime, various requirements for capital holdings and investments, and how the insurance industry's growth and increasing sophistication will likely lead to future regulatory changes.

Ecological collapse doesn't happen in a vacuum.Our global economy will also collapse by up to 50% before the end of this century if we continue as we are. That's the latest diagnosis by an interdisciplinary team who are sounding the alarm that current national climate policies are not enough to mitigate the damage to ecology and economy. The Institute of the Faculty of Actuaries and the University of Exeter today published Planetary Solvency which warns that widely used but deeply flawed assessments of the economic impact of climate change render policymakers blind to the immense risk created by current trajectories.Sandy Trust, actuary and co-author, joins me to explain how these flawed assessments play out in climate policies and an alternative methodology for calculating risk laid out in the report. This is Sandy's second time on the show, as in 2023 he joined me to explain how the world of finance underestimates the destruction climate change will cause on our economy after 1.5 degrees of warming. The update is no less frightening—especially, as Sandy reveals, given policy makers have little interest in heeding the warnings of experts.Planet: Critical is 100% independent and community-powered.

Michel Leonard, chief economist and data scientist, Insurance Information Institute, acknowledged concerns about rising premiums while emphasizing insurers' responsibility to maintain solvency. Leonard spoke with AM Best TV at the GIF conference.

The most respected class of elected officials in America hold titles such as Treasurer, Auditor General, Comptroller, or Commissioner of Revenue. These are financial watchdogs with their eyes on the details. Worker bees. On the other hand, Congress often polls as one of the least trusted political institutions. One reason? By and large, states balance their budgets and Congress… well, doesn’t. That's why we spoke with Indiana Comptroller Elise Nieshalla in Ep. 91, who chairs the National Debt Crisis Task Force for the prestigious State Financial Officers Foundation. This group sent a letter (National-Debt-Letter.pdf) to Congress urging its members to deal immediately with exploding debt levels which could potentially trigger a debt crisis and, in its wake, a geopolitical crisis created by American decline.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this installment of The Standard Formula's series on Solvency II, host Robert Chaplin and Chiara Iorizzo unpack the regime's public reporting element. As Rob explains, public reporting “bolsters transparency and market discipline across the insurance industry.”Rob and Chiara cover requirements of the Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR) and discuss some proposed changes to these reporting requirements.

ESOPs are a proven strategy that allows owners to leverage the wealth they've built through hard work and dedication. An 831(b) plan, commonly known as captive or microcaptive insurance, is intended to help business owners reduce unfunded liabilities. SRA utilizes the 831(b) Tax Code to create tax-deferred risk mitigation and give business owners greater peace of mind. Van Carlson is the founder and CEO of SRA 831(b), with 25 years of experience in the risk management industry. His goal is to continue SRA's upward growth while also developing novel products for the market. He joined us today to discuss how to fund uninsured risks without hurting cash flow. We start the conversation with Van explaining the 831(b) risk management strategy along with the benefits businesses can gain from it. Then we talk about the significance of motivation in financial advice. Risk management should be the primary focus rather than merely seeking tax advantages to avoid potential scrutiny from the IRS. Van then kindly explains the common mistakes people make when setting up an 831(b), especially in the construction industry: proper ownership structure and motivation. We then pay attention to the challenges of exiting an 831(b) plan, where Van explains how they make a simple exiting process. Further down to the conversation, we discuss the following topics regarding 831(B) risk management strategy: solvency testing, the services 831(b) provides and are unavailable through traditional insurance options, alternatives for 831(b), and the type of businesses that might not be suitable for an 831(b).   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [02:13] What is 831(b) risk management strategy?  [04:43] What 831(b) provides for construction companies [08:52] The importance of the motivations behind financial advice  [10:35] The common mistakes [14:33] Solvency testing [18:41] Challenges of exiting an 831(b) plan  [20:31] What unique services do 831(b) offer that aren't available through conventional insurance options?

The watchdog group is out with a 62 page analysis of the state's proposed FY20205 budget. It notes that Governor Pritzker's $800 million in tax changes will help close the state's budget deficit, but that any more could overwhelm taxpayers. If left unchecked, the report says the CTA, PACE and Metra face an over $700 million deficit as soon as 2026. Reset learns more about the impact this could have on Chicago area transit riders from Joe Ferguson, president of the Civic Federation.

The bonding company owner that posted Trump's $175 million bond in New York against the $465 million civil fraud judgment JUST ADMITTED THAT his company is violating ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING and “Know Your Customer” laws because he DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF TRUMP's cash collateral. Michael Popok examines the new bond just filed by a company controlled by a Trump donor, and why the UNAUDITED and stale financial statements filed by them in the case raise new questions about their SOLVENCY that Judge Engoron will hold a hearing about later this month.

This episode was recorded on June 3, 2022In this episode, Brad Mills interviews author and former Federal Reserve market specialist, Joseph Wang. Known for his work "Central Banking 101," Joseph offers a treasure trove of insights from his tenure at the Fed, drawing on his experiences navigating the financial landscape post the 2008 crisis.Brad and Joseph have an in-depth discussion on the world of the repo market, its challenges in 2019 when rates unexpectedly eclipsed the Federal Reserve's interest on reserves, and the implications for liquidity and bank stability. The episode delves into critical issues like the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the balance between capital and liquidity in safeguarding against bank insolvencies.Brad probes the possibility of the Federal Reserve's repo market interventions being akin to unapproved bailouts — a notion Joseph addresses by shedding light on the quality of collateral involved in these short-term lending agreements. The dialogue also ventures into the accounting aspects of bond maturities, the purchasing power of the US Treasury's looming debt, and the Federal Reserve's potential role in debt acquisition.Their exchange extends to Bitcoin's immunity to governmental control, contrasting its decentralized nature with other cryptocurrencies and what that means in an increasingly regulated environment. The episode advances through the murky waters of quantitative easing, the causality of inflation, and the contentious values underpinning the current financial system.Tune into this episode for a blend of expertise and provocative analyses, revealing the inner workings of the systems that move money globally.

This week Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and cohost Kobi (https://twitter.com/kobigurk) chat with both Kostas Kryptos (https://twitter.com/kostascrypto) from Mysten Labs (https://mystenlabs.com/), discussing the zkLogin project and Aayush Gupta (https://twitter.com/yush_g) representing the ZK Email + Email Wallet (https://twitter.com/zkemail) projects. They explore the use case of web2 onboarding into web3, through the lens of these two different projects which emerged independently but share a lot of the same characteristics. They discuss the way this use case problem was first identified, the solution that each project came up with independently, the decisions that each project took and the future use cases they would enable.
