Crypto startups in India are not barred from any innovation but must adhere to the country's laws on foreign exchange, IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told Inc42 in an interview, according to a report from the startup news and analysis site. And SaaS action continues in India, with Lentra raising $60 million in Series B funding that includes Citi Ventures's first investment in an Indian fintech company, valuing the Mumbai startup developing AI-based embedded finance solutions at more than $400 million, TechCrunch reports. Notes: Crypto startups in India are not barred from any innovation but must adhere to the country's laws on foreign exchange, IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told Inc42 in an interview, according to a report. For a startup, whether you are innovating for crypto or blockchain or Web3, there is absolutely nothing in the law that prevents you from doing it. There is nothing in the IT Act that stops you from doing it. We welcome any investor or startup to innovate in crypto or Web3, the minister said, according to Inc42. The restrictions involve exchange control. Some startups have made the mistake of becoming full-blown crypto brokerages and exchanges without getting the required permissions from the RBI and SEBI, he said, according to the report. Australia is considering banning the payment of ransoms to hackers, following recent cyberattacks affecting millions of Australians, Reuters reports, citing the country's Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil. Australia's biggest health insurer, Medibank and Optus, Australia's second-largest telco, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, and at least eight other companies, have been breached since September, according to Reuters. The country has also bolstered its cyber police, with a new joint task force, according to Reuters. Apple is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly harvesting iPhone user data even when the company's own privacy settings promise not to, Gizmodo reports. The suit, filed on Nov. 10 in a California federal court, comes days after Gizmodo exclusively reported on research into how multiple iPhone apps send Apple analytics data, regardless of whether the iPhone Analytics privacy setting is turned on or off, according to the report. The problem was spotted by two independent researchers at the software company Mysk, who found that the Apple App Store sends the company exhaustive information about nearly everything a user does in the app, despite a privacy setting, iPhone Analytics, which claims to “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether” when switched off. Lentra, a Mumbai startup developing AI-based fintech solutions, has raised $60 million in Series B funding, TechCrunch reports. The investment values the startup at “over $400 million,” D Venkatesh, the founder and CEO of the startup, told TechCrunch in an interview. Existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners and Susquehanna International Group led the round with participation from Citi Ventures, a subsidiary of Citigroup, according to TechCrunch. This is Citi Ventures' first investment in a fintech from India. Lentra, founded in 2018, is profitable and offers tech solutions to commercial banks for their digital loan services.

When our computers are solving problems faster than people ever could, what do we do with the answers? How do we use the data in a way that serves everyone? This week, host Derek is joined by two experts to talk about the revolution happening now in machine learning and data collection. First, Mike Tamir is the Head of Data Science and AI for the Susquehanna International Group. Then, Nuria Oliver is the Co-Founder and Director of the Institute of Human Centered AI.  The two discuss how AI will be able to create and test products in the future, and how we can best succeed in the intersection between AI and creativity.  Learn More About: What is LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, and what type of information and data can it help us generate? How do we hone data to make self-driving cars even safer and make the testing process even more efficient? How cars have become more computerized, and what that automation will look like down the road. Nuria discusses a high stakes user study that underwent ethics approval from MIT, and how they brought in the proper safety precautions.Some of the foundational things you need to be able to train machine learning models in a supervised fashion.  We can have systems that not only automatically detect and recognize the maneuver of drivers, but predict them. What are the opportunities for this, but also, what are the challenges? What capturing human behavioral data looks like on a massive scale, and how machine learning can help identify business opportunities and create better customer satisfaction. Human decisions have gotten us through a lot of situations, but we have unciouscnsess biases, we are susceptible to corruption, we have emotions that get in the way, physical needs, etc. Nuria talks about the value in human collaboration and how automated work may help us be able to develop deeper relationships and free up time and energy to be more creative.  Resources Mentioned: NINuria OliverMike Tamir

Biden administration is teasing a new round of student debt cancellation and relief. The Education department said on Tuesday that this could mean debt cancellation for about 40,000 borrowers and three years of additional credit for more than 3.6 million borrowers seeking income-driven repayment. That could add another boost to the economy and the long-term well-being of tens of thousands of Americans. Bankrate study. The woman behind the “Libs of TikTok” Twitter account has been outed in new reporting by Taylor Lorenz in the Washington Post. Lorenz reports that Chaya Raichik, a real estate salesperson in Brooklyn, is behind the account which has spread “groomer” conspiracy theories on social media and has the ears of right-wing lawmakers such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.  Jeffrey Yass, the head of Susquehanna International Group, and the deep-pocketed right-wing political funder is officially the richest man in Pennsylvania, according to a new analysis by ProPublica. He has collected an average of $1.3 billion a year in annual income from 2013 - 2018. Only five other Americans earned more.  This morning the New York Times released a report that reviewed 21 of Florida's rejected math books. Florida's Dept. of Education reported that the rejected books contained “prohibited topics” such as critical race theory and social emotional learning. Only four pages were released by the Dept as examples; one contained a problem set that used statistical data from the Race Implicit Association Test.  Court challenges were filed by a Lycoming County resident calling for the removal of Doug Mastriano and Scott Perry from ballots for next month's primary because of their participation in the January 6th Capitol insurrection.   Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) is looking to sell off two of the luxury dorms at Edinboro University that were completed just 10 years ago and featured quite prominently in my early reporting at Raging Chicken. “Wall Street on the Susquehanna: PASSHE Bond Scheme Bleeds Education Budget for Beautiful Buildings” Palisades made headlines again! The Herald ran a piece last week about Palisades reconsidering a live streaming option for school board meetings! The option to live stream meetings would cover both regular bi-monthly board meetings as well as committee meetings.  And Amy was doing some phone backing last night for Alexandra Hunt.

S2 Ep. 5 This episode's guest is my friend from high school, Doug Yass. Doug and I played golf a few weeks ago with his brother and my classmate, Robbie, and they shared with me their passion for sports gambling and how it's become their full-time pursuit. They started referencing relatively unknown players by their odds for the upcoming tournament, and backing them up with shots gained stats and recent trends in their games. I was interested in that level of detail and knowledge, and how they were applying it to gambling, so Doug agreed to talk about it on here. Prior to Covid, Doug was based in Ireland working for Nellie Analytics, the sports gambling division of Susquehanna International Group. Doug's dad - Jeff Yass - is one of Susquehanna's cofounders and is known for his prolific poker skills. Doug discusses how that influenced his journey into professional sports gambling, how he calculates player odds in an effort to gain an advantage on betting exchanges, and what our horizon in the U.S. looks like for legalized gambling.

Chris Marcus of Arcadia Economics joins us from Washington DC, where he is trying to bring forward evidence of manipulation while protesting CFTC inaction. Chris discusses his time on Wall Street and how learning about the housing bubble led him to gold and silver. At that time, he didn't realize that the game was completely rigged. Chris discusses how the Fed was created in secret by banks, and then a few years later, the U.S. demand the population give up their gold. Shortly afterward, the price of gold was revalued higher. Chris has submitted several rounds of evidence to the CFTC who's mission statement is to "Promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. Derivatives markets through sound regulation." Chris continues to ask questions that are seemingly unanswerable by any government agency. Recently, the LBMA reported nearly running out of metal, and they continue to fail to report on their "silver investigations." He discusses the recent inactions CFTC Acting Chair Rostin Benham, who stated publicly, "Things almost got out of control and they had to clamp it down." The recent LBMA report on the social media frenzy where they claim 120 million ounces went into the iShares silver trust. It seems the LBMA are very concerned about running out of metal and now say that it is unlikely to happen again. So far, no one in Washington seems to care, and while the CFTC has his evidence, they don't seem overly interested. Chris would appreciate it if anyone can give him advice or let him know where to go in Washington. He explains how naked shorting works, particularly with silver. The banks routinely drop paper silver into the market and collude amongst themselves to suppress the price.

His background includes two years at bond rating agency Moody's, an MBA from Wharton, and seven years as an equity options trader for Susquehanna International Group on the American and New York Stock Exchanges. Chris believes we're on the verge of a spectacular period of financial history. Governments and central banks have inflated historic bubbles in the stock, bond, and real estate markets. When they burst, the crash will likely be even more severe than what occurred in 2008. Since leaving Wall Street, Chris has dedicated his financial career towards studying and helping people understand what's happening. He advises how to protect your wealth and turn the coming crisis into an incredible opportunity. If you have questions and feel like you could use some help, Chris looks forward to hearing from you.

We continue our run on legendary authors with our guest today, Annie Duke. She's got a new book out called How To Decide: Simple Tools For Making Better Choices. In this episode, she teaches us about how she thinks about decisions, and how building stronger decision skills can make a difference at a time of crisis, particularly like the kind of time we're living in now.  She was one of the world's top professional poker players. She tells us how to think about the possible and the probable, how to think about the different futures that could occur. Anne’s got a very provocative point of view about luck that I think you'll find fascinating. In addition, I would suggest you pay close attention to her thoughts on the power of a hedge.  Bio: Annie Duke has leveraged her expertise in the science of smart decision making to excel at pursuits as varied as championship poker to public speaking. Annie’s latest book, How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices, is available on September 15, 2020, from Portfolio, a Penguin Random House imprint. Her previous book, Thinking in Bets, is a national bestseller. In the book, Annie reveals to readers the lessons she regularly shares with her corporate audiences, which have been cultivated by combining her academic studies in cognitive psychology with real-life decision-making experiences at the poker table. For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only WSOP Tournament of Champions. In 2010, she won the prestigious NBC National Heads- Up Poker Championship. She retired from the game in 2012. Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned her master’s degree. Annie now spends her time writing, coaching, and speaking on a range of topics such as decision fitness, emotional control, productive decision groups, and embracing uncertainty. She is a regularly sought-after public speaker, addressing thousands in keynote remarks at conferences for organizations ranging from the Investment Management Consultants Association to the Big Ten Conference. She has been brought in to speak to the executive teams or sales forces of organizations like Marriott, Gaylord Resorts, and Ultimate Software, among others. She is a sought-after speaker in the financial sector, with clients such as Susquehanna International Group and CitiBank. Annie regularly shares her observations on decision making and critical thinking skills on her blog, Annie’s Analysis, and has shared her poker knowledge through a series of best-selling poker instruction and theory books, including Decide to Play Great Poker and The Middle Zone: Mastering the Most difficult Hands in Hold’em Poker (both co-authored with John Vorhaus). Annie is a master storyteller, having performed three times for The Moth, an organization that preserves the art of spoken word storytelling. One of her stories was selected by The Moth as one of their top 50 stories and featured in the organization’s first-ever book. Her passion for making a difference has helped raise millions for charitable causes. In 2006, she founded Ante Up for Africa along with actor Don Cheadle and Norman Epstein, which has raised more than $4 million for Africans in need. She has also served on the board of The Decision Education Foundation. In 2009, she appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice and raised $730,000 for Refugees International, a charity that advocates for refugees around the world. In October 2013, Annie became a national board member for After School All-Stars. In 2014, Annie co-founded The Alliance for Decision Education to build a national movement that empowers teachers,

This is the story of Kelly Brennan, Head of ETF at Citadel Securities where she is responsible for the firm's ETF trading business globally. Before that she was head of Goldman Sachs' ETF trading and before that was at Susquehanna International Group. A fun fact about Kelly - while at Susquehanna, she become the only female specialist at SIG on the NYSE. On this episode, you'll hear a story about an exceptional woman who is clearly a very driven and focused person that constantly strives to get better. She admits one of her failures early in her trading career was trying to be something or someone that she wasn't and underestimating her strengths.  I'm grateful to have had a conversation that leveled up my thinking and my pursuit to cultivate what she calls an impactful personal board of directors. Please enjoy this conversation with Kelly Brennan.
