In the past few days, whispers around Sam Bankman-Fried have swirled back into the spotlight amid the crypto world's aggressive push into politics. A fresh YouTube short from a journalist who interviewed the fallen FTX kingpin has gone viral, recounting how their chat turned downright weird, tying right into breaking news that the industry is dropping $200 million on the 2026 midterms—before primaries even heat up. That clip, buzzing online, paints SBF as a lingering ghost in crypto's power plays, hinting at his enduring influence even from behind bars.No confirmed public appearances or direct social media posts from Bankman-Fried himself— he's still serving his sentence post-2023 conviction for defrauding FTX customers and Alameda lenders. But the BlockFi saga, exploding again via Varnavides Law updates, underscores his shadow: their $13.25 million class action settlement got final court approval in December 2025, spotlighting how BlockFi's massive loans to Alameda—nearly $900 million collateralized by shaky FTT tokens—doomed the lender when FTX cratered. Court filings reveal BlockFi's risk team begged CEO Zac Prince to pull back, but he ignored warnings, with the exec later admitting bankruptcy hinged on Alameda's fraud. This ripple effect cements SBF's biographical infamy as the domino that toppled giants.Business-wise, no new ventures or deals surface; it's all echoes of old collapses, like BlockFi's 572,000 investors left holding the bag from unregistered securities. Older podcast nods, such as Money Maze revisiting Michael Lewis's Going Infinite on the FTX implosion, keep the lore alive, but nothing fresh in the last 24 hours—no major headlines beyond the midterm spending frenzy linking back to his playbook. Speculation on X and forums ties crypto's political war chest to SBF-style effective altruism gone rogue, but that's unverified chatter, not hard news.These threads signal a pivotal biographical pivot: from wunderkind to cautionary tale fueling crypto's Washington invasion, with long-term stakes for regulation and his legacy.Thanks for listening, and please subscribe to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

Why can't the UK shake its "confidence rut" despite having a £1 trillion savings buffer? How are global "populist" spending trends forcing the bond market to act as a fiscal referee? And is the UK actually poised to become an AI superpower? In this episode, Robert and Steph welcome back Karen Ward, Chief Market Strategist for EMEA at J.P. Morgan Asset Management and former advisor to the Chancellor. The discussion dives deep into the 'split personality' of the UK economy, where high financial stability in the private sector is juxtaposed with a pervasive lack of confidence in government by consumers and business.

January may have looked quiet on the surface, but the Nordic fintech engine was very much running.In this Nordic Fintech Highlights episode, Ville, Pål and Janne unpack what actually mattered beneath the seasonal slowdown — where peer-to-peer payments, SME banking, and the future of merchant acquiring all collide in very Nordic ways.On the agenda:.- Klarna goes P2P. From BNPL to bank to sending money between friends, Klarna steps into an already crowded wallet space — starting closed-loop, with bigger ambitions ahead. We dig into ecosystems, cross-border logic, and why P2P always ends up being about much more than just P2P..- Lunar raises €46m and doubles down on SMEs. Fresh capital, sharper focus on business banking, and Moonrise as a platform play. Underserved SMEs return to the spotlight — this time backed by a proper war chest..- Loomis Pay and Android POS. Cash heritage meets programmable terminals as Loomis pushes deeper into digital acquiring. We explore why open POS platforms matter, how new payment rails complicate acquiring, and why instant payments still give merchants plenty of operational headaches.Naturally, the conversation takes a few familiar side roads: embedded finance, platform economics, gig workers, AI agents as future bank customers — and a shared realization that merchant acquiring has become one of the most quietly complicated parts of fintech.A calm start to the year, a surprisingly busy news cycle, and just enough skepticism to keep everyone honest.Episode hosted by Pål Krogdahl, Ville Sointu & Janne SalminenEpisode produced and edited by Fintech Daydreaming- Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com- Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com- Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream- Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming- Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/- Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

We just got back from Los Angeles after spending several hours hands-on with Highguard, the new free-to-play raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment, a studio led by developers with deep roots in games like Apex Legends and Titanfall.On paper, it is easy to dismiss Highguard as “another shooter,” especially in a crowded 2026 lineup. But after playing multiple full matches, sitting down with the design and product leads, and seeing how the systems work together, it is clear this game is aiming for something genuinely different.Highguard introduces a new take on competitive shooters through a multi-phase raid structure built around strategy, teamwork, and base defense. Each match flows through gearing up, intercepting the shield breaker, and launching full raids against enemy bases. Wardens are distinct without overpowering gunplay, abilities are additive instead of dominant, and every match feels meaningfully different based on player decisions.We also break down how Highguard approaches live service in a way that feels unusually respectful. The War Chest battle pass is free, there is no pay-to-win, no loot boxes, no RNG storefront pressure, and cosmetic purchases are straightforward and permanent. The team already has a full year of content planned, with new episodes, maps, wardens, and modes rolling out at a steady cadence.We also talk about the Game Awards reveal, the online backlash, and why the current cycle of “is this game dead” discourse does more harm than good to the industry. After hands-on time with Highguard, we believe this is a game that deserves to speak for itself.If you are curious about raid shooters, the future of live service design, or what happens when experienced developers try to rethink the genre instead of chasing trends, this is one you should be watching.About the Show: Spawn On Me spotlights gamers of color and the intersection of games, culture, and community—through interviews, reviews, and real talk about how games affect the world.Follow & Subscribe:YouTube: youtube.com/spawnonmeSpotify: Spawn On MeApple Podcasts: Spawn On MeX/Twitter: @SpawnOnMe, @kahliefadamsInstagram: @spawnonmepodcastTikTok: @spawnonmeBusiness / bookings: spawnonmepodcast@gmail.comSupport The Spawnies (our annual awards show): Learn more, see winners, and rewatch: thespawnies.com (presented by Spawn On Me; culture-forward categories and community-driven celebration).Disclaimers: Opinions are the host's/guests' and do not reflect employers or partners.Go Here To Follow Us on Twitter, snag some merch and subscribe to our podcast!! https://campsite.bio/spawnonme

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to work out what's actually going wrong at Spurs, and whether sacking Thomas Frank even fixes anything. There's a lot of anger about the football, but we keep coming back to the bigger issue: the club looks totally unaligned, with no clear sporting lead, no agreed identity, and recruitment that feels reactive rather than planned. We get into the “Tottenham DNA” idea, why managers take all the heat when they don't control half the decisions, and why getting the right director of football matters more than another reset in the dugout. Along the way we hit the injuries, the grim reality of being down to the bare bones in midfield, the kit drop chaos, and the familiar Spurs fan experience of trying to explain all this to your kids without traumatising them too much. Plus a few listener questions and a bit of therapy-by-moan to see us through. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, I talk with Erik Kreps about a remarkable family mystery. Erik's grandfather, Colonel Kenneth Ray Kreps, served in the Second World War, and after returning home, he sealed his wartime belongings in a chest with the instruction that it was not to be opened until after his death. For decades, the chest remained closed, and no one in the family knew what it contained. After Colonel Kreps died, the chest was put into storage and almost forgotten. At one point, it was nearly auctioned off, which could have meant the contents were lost forever. Instead, it was saved, and when it was eventually opened, it revealed letters, photographs, medals, and documents that reshaped Erik's understanding of his grandfather and the life he lived during the war. You can find Erik on X at @Veiled_Valor where he shares updates about the discoveries along with occasional posts about others connected to the story. Here is a link to a set of slides featuring images of the chest contents and further material on Colonel Kreps.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Review Est Sularis Uth Mithas by Scott Berachuski This is a tale about a Solamnic Knight racing to free his beloved from the grip of a Green Dragon. He keeps flashing to her face and memory as he charges toward the dragon. The encounter is brief, and the knight plunges his sword into the dragon’s heart as the dragon closes its mouth around him. He mutters the Oath and hears his wife tell him that she loves Ulrick, the knights. It's a quick story, gets right to the point, but it offers nothing other than the faith this knight has on facing seemingly insurmountable odds for honor. I am left feeling nothing about him, the woman the dragon had, or the dragon. Freedom's Pride by Paul B. Thompson Vitrad, Commander, Lord, dark knight Lord Livskil, Lord of Qualinesti, dark knight, lord of the black hall Loren Swamp Adder, ship Mercenaries Lioness, Zoran, Caravel with Gnomefire, Qualinesti This is the story of Lord Vifrad, a Knight of Takhisis who is summoned to Lord Livskil's audience in Qualinesti. Apparently some elves who were to hand over their treasures fled the forest./ Vifrad was assigned to find them and bring them and their wares back. He left, and found the elves fleeing with mercenaries who turned on them. The knights fought off the mercenaries and chained the qualinesti to their oars. They began to return when another ship started pelting them with Gnomish Fire, basically greek oil I believe. They were forced to surrender to this ship, and it ended up being the lioness, who now is qualinesti not kagonesti I guess. She took the elves and rewarded the knights with their lives for saving the elves. Then she gave a flag with a lion on it and the words freedom’s pride beneath, wrapped around a cannon ball. I assume this story is connected to another story I have yet to read. For when Vitrad returns it to his Lord Livskil and reiterated what happened, he is assigned to hunt down and capture the lioness. It was an okay story, I wish there was more character to the characters. They all felt like cutouts of bad guys rather than individuals. Sargas' Night of Revenge by Don Perrrin Lord Trenak, Minotaur Vras, died Lekras, female minotaur Emas, having affair, married to Lekras Vromas, Vras' dad This was a fun story about clan Trenak, minotaurs who on Sargas' Night, ended up betraying one another and killing each other. Sargas was so upset by their actions and dishonor, he cursed them to repeat the act every year on Sargas' Night. They were tormented for a thousand years, until the chaos war, and one night Sargas didn't return. They slowly learned that he wouldn't return and were led by the grandson Vras in recognizing why they all turned against one another, his mother killed his father for having an affair, and that made fighting inevitable. They all realised they didn’t have to repeat this act, and began enjoying themselves, learning to accept that which they cannot control, and broke the cycle of violence. It was a fun story, and boy are they going to get a surprise when Takhisis starts commanding the dead, and Sargas eventually returns! Sharing the Luck by Linda P. Baker Grako, old man, tophite Risha, male Meryl Ark Lyric, old man This is an interesting story about two thieves who begin the story by killing a mountain dwarf and robbing him. They return to an inn to split the goods, and one of them, Risha, is wearing a bracelet from their robbery. The other Grako begins to distribute the loot but Risha seems disinterested, acting very strange. Then he leaves and Grakop decides to test him, thinking he is going to try to kill him and take it all. But Risha really is disinterested and this change in behavior is worrying Grako. Then the next morning Risha is gone, and Grakjo goes after him, certain he is being swindled somehow. He finds Risha talking to an old wizard, and Grako demands to hold the bracelet, Risha refuses and a struggle ends in Risha’s death. Grako dons the bracelet and its power begins to work, making him whole. Meaning, a whole thoughtful and respectable person. He planned on killing the mage, but instead thinks he will let him go. This is interesting to me because we never really discuss what makes a thief or murderer a thief or murderer. It's really because there is something broken in them, something that they either never had or lost, a semblance of humanity. This bracelet restores that, and it's a crazy interesting item to consider dro[[ping into a campaign and seeing it play out. The War Chest by Kevin T. Stein Sir Dammerman, Knight of Solamnia, teacher Sir Ray Stick Man Hourglass – glory forever Abraxis, warrior – dark knight This was a story about glory, and the seeking of it even when you are past your prime. Sir Dammerman is a Solamnic Knight who teaches the younger generations. The young knights grow restless and ask about glory and riches. The knights end up sharing some loot acquired in battle against ogres. Dammerman sees a chest and instantly, as if in a dream only he experiences, a stick man appears offering him glory in battle against Abraxis, a renown Dark Knight warrior. At first he refuses, then through cajoling, he relents and says that he is interested. He is shown an hourglass with sand the color of the Abyss. He is presented with a bargain, the chance to find glory against Abraxis before the sand drains. He accepts the bargain and wins in battles, making him seem a true hero with endless energy and strength. His knights cheer his anime and he has glory. Finally it comes time to face off against Abraxas and he is defeated. Stick man appears and tells him that he tricked him into taking his soul, and he will fight in the abyss for eternity never knowing rest now. He will also offer it to his son, as he has offered it to many knights before Dammerman. As he was dying in defeat he tells his son not to make bargains for glory, and dies. It’s a long winded story that I enjoyed, though I wish they would have named the Stick Man. It addresses our innate capacity vs our desires, and in fantasy there is always a price to be paid if we are to exceed our ability. Flight of Fancy by Jeff Crook Klaus, Solamnic, flying machine Professor H, gnome Bee Juice Extractor This was a silly story about a human named Klaus who was piloting a gnomish flying machine toward Sancrist when he crashed. He was saved by gnomes who brought him to Mount Nevermind, and introduced him to famous gnome inventors. THey explained the machine was a bee juice extractor not a flying machine and they were perplexed on how a human could have repaired a crashed Bee Juice extractor in Solamnia. Pyrothraxus heard through the grape vine that a Solamnic was in Mount Nevermind and insisted it must be aspy, and that the gnomes should turn him over. They decided to make improvements to the bee juice extractor and fly Klous home instead. Pyrothraxus left the mountain and started chasing them when the gnomes decided to dump the honey to increase their speed. It fell into Pyrothraxus' mouth and when he breathed fire, it exploded in his face, sending them crashing into Solamnia, where they found another human inventor who said he may be able to fix the fBee Juice Extractor when a fully bandaged up Klous came in insisting he should not repair the ship, clearly traumatized both physically and emotionally by the experience. And that was it. It was the best case of a gnome story, short, silly, and done. The Deep, Deep, Dark, Dark Place by Kevin James Cage Glug, gully dwarf male Blurd, gully dwarf female Raddoc Stonebuilder, dwarf Thurgood Strongarm, dwarf Warden What!? This story was crazy. So two gully dwarves, Glug and Blurd are in a deep deep dark dark place when they hear singing and commotion. They investigate to see dwarves mining and talking about unionizing. They decide the dwarves are looking for treasure and they think they can lead the dwarves, but they don't want to be seen in case they are mean. So they use their stick which makes them invisible, but it doesn’t, and they start helping the men by throwing gems at them. The dwarves see the Aghar but don't want to engage with them, so they pretend they can’t see them, only pick up the ems. Then one time the Aghar directs them to the treasures cave, and the dwarves all go to it, only to be consumed by a stone dragon or sorts. The Aghar thank their pet treasure for getting rid of the dwarves. That was the story, the gully dwarves were working with the dragon to lure the dwarves to their deaths, it made a whole new view of the symbiotic nature of gully dwarves with the denizens of the deep, and recontextualized the whole story from the beginning. It was a lot of fun. Catch of the Day by Jean Rabe Redge, kobold, fishing Malay, kobold Scar Chest, Bugbear Bear Snout, Bugbear One Eye, Bugbear Ettin Brown Spider What an unexpected story. This begins with a pair of kobolds who are fishing. They say that they took the magic fishing pole from some gully dwarves they killed, consuming one of them. Then three bugbears came upon them, and killed some of them, but the bugbears also wanted to fish. Next came an ettin who attacked the bugbears and killed them, then began fishing as well. Finally a brown spider climbed onto the ettin and bit it, poisoning the ettin, which died and sank beneath the river. The fishing pole floated down stream, then turned around and came back upstream. The whole story is about one creature consuming another all the while each were the catch of the pole's itself. It's a very odd, quick little tale that subverted all expectations. Lost Causes by Nancy Varian Berberick Usha Majere Haria, elf Maddoc Aquestos, mage Eline Carowel Take her to haven, white rush river Taria, elf What a beautiful story. Usha Majere is needing someone to escort a homely woman named Eline to a to-be husband in Haven. A handful of elves and a mage named Maddoc accepted the task. Usha gave Maddoc a charm to give to the husband. Maddoc looked at this homely girl and reflected how ugly she was, she should feel lucky to have any husband. As they began to travel, they were set upon by brigands. The elves and brigands were all killed, and Maddoc was swept away by the White Rush river. He was awakened by Eline, and they realised they were safe, they began preparing to continue the trip to Haven, when they saw a Qualinesty man and woman enter a boat with their baby, and arrows reach them from the shore. THey were fleeing for their lives, but went under the water. Maddoc and Eline ran to the river as the mother tried to pass off her baby. Before they could get to it, they were swept away, and so they hid from the archers on the other shore. They eventually left and Eline was sobbing as if the baby were her own. It was relayed that Eline was marrying the old man so he would fund her fathers efforts at saving others from the Dragon overlords and Dark Knights. Then Maddoc looked at the necklace and was overcome by love for this homely girl because he finally saw her inner beauty. They made love that night, and the next morning Eline was distant and demanded Maddoc take her to Haven. He didn’t want to, he wanted her, but she insisted it was the only way to help others, which is all she cared about. While this made Maddoc love her more, he relented and delivered Eline. He left and began returning to Usha in Solace. It was such a beautiful story that is so similar to a ton of 80's films I watched as a kid. In the end Maddoc was the lost cause, not the girl, for he only saw outward beauty until Eline. Blood Ties by John Brown Elium, brother, older, dead Oleth, brother, younger 15 Tylor Hunchback/Spawn of Onysablet Fessik Father dead Mother, 2 sisters wounded This was a touching story about two brothers, Elium and Oleth, who were out hunting and chased by a Taylor. Once the creature passed them, they raced back home to find their family gone. They asked the neighbors and a slave came and took many of the villagers. The brothers chased down the wagon and attacked the hunchback wagon driver, let out their family and neighbors, but their father was dead. Many of the family members were hurt. The older brother nearly killed the hunchback wagon driver but Oleth talked him down from it. They left, only to have the hunchback catch up and attack them, revealing himself as a Dragonspawn of Onysablet. He killed Elium, the older brother, and Oleth wrestled the spawn, throwing him off the wagon over a bridge and it smashed on the rocks below. Then he collected his brother’s body and set it on the seat next to him. It is just a brutal tale of two brothers trying to do right in a cruel dystopian world. I enjoyed it. Shard's Memory by Chris Pierson Morovik Narrowchap, male dwarf 5 years after Chaos War Shard Ironsmelt, female dwarf Shadow Wight can return memory Severus stonehand Skree, tavern owner This is set 5 years after the Chaos War. The dwarves who now call themselves the twice born, after having forgotten all of the dead in Thorbardin, are reclaiming the kingdom, and cleaning it up. However there are still random shadow wights roaming its halls. There is also a rumor that if you capture a shadow wight, it can tell you about the dead, those who were wiped from memory. We start with Morovik and Shard, two dwarves who have found each other, as they repopulated the kingdom and have started connecting on a romantic level. Shard however is obsessed with her past, as she cannot recall any of it. In fact, only the etchings of buildings are left to tell of who was lost in the war. She believes she is of the ironsmelt clan, but has no proof, as that entire clan has been wiped from memory. Then she overhears of a shadow wight in deep tunnels from a bartender friend, and plans to go find and trap it so she can learn who she is. Morovik is trying to talk her out of it due to its inherent danger and wants to leave Thorbardin with her and start a whole new life as Morovik and Shard. But she cannot move past her, well past. She leaves and he goes with her as he loves her and wants to protect her. They find the shadow wight and discover that there are two! They engage in battle, and she accidentally kills the one she is fighting. Then Morovik is wounded and close to dying from a wound. She tells the shadow wight she will kill it if it doesn’t tell her who she is. It says that it can tell her, if she watched her lover die. All she has to do is nothing, and she will know her past. But that is more than she can do. Content, finally, with who she is rather than who she was, she kills the shadow wight, and saves Morovik's life. It’s a beautiful story about love conquering all. And the notion that your past is less important than who you are now, and where you move into the future. It again, reminds me of the film the Iron Giant and that wonderful phrase, you are who you choose to be. Tactics by Richard A. Knaak Sir Tempian, Knight of Solamnia Lord Cornwell, Knight of the Rose Chieftain Geyver, male half-ogre half-elf This was an interesting story about the evolution of Ogres in the Fifth Age. The Knights of Solamnia under Rose Night Lord Cornwell decided to train the ogres to defend against the Knights of Takhisis, a sort of ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend' situation. The ogres are led by their Chieftain Geyver, a half elf, half ogre. The Solamnics don't trust the ogres but they continue to struggle to train them. Then it is noted that Dark Knights are in the area, the chieftain leads the knights to them, and they defeat them in battle, but one knight flees and they have to stop him, lest he tell others that the Knights of Solamnia are training ogres. This must be kept secret. When they give chase and catch him, the Dark Knight relays that they fight without honor and have killed their men, this leads Cornwell to realise Geyver has been double dealing and killing without the honor they were trained. Then the Dark Knight’s main force surrounds them as they try to flee. Suddenly, ogres hidden in the mountains above trigger massive rock slides defeating many of the Dark Knights, and they mop up the rest.Geyver tells the Knights that they have learned all they can from the Knights, but ogre tactics clearly win out against the Dark Knights. He lets them leave with their lives. This is a great story about the necessity of breaking conventions to live in the troubled fifth age of Krynn, and the lengths organizations will go to defeat their enemies. The Raid on the Academy of Sorcery by Margaret Weis Palin Majere Ulin Majere Lucy Thunder Powder Caramon Majere This final story is one I have read and reviewed on this channel before. Ulin Majere is frustrated at his progress in learning and mastering magic. In fact, all magic has begun to fail, even the wild sorcery. But this is affecting everyone, even the Dragon Overlords. Ulin is interested in a sorceress Lucy who thinks she will leave the Academy of Sorcery to go teach elsewhere, when word comes of an impending attack on Solace. Most of the town gathers together as they create a militia to confront the Dark Knight and Dragon Overlord forces coming from Qualinesti. Berylinthranox is slowly losing her magic and has set up this diversion so that she can have her forces assault the Academy to steal its magical artifacts. Ulin has created what he calls Thunder Powder, it's just black powder, and when they learn of the coming forces, they build aton of it, setting it up to explode if the dragon's forces reach the artifact room. As the forces invade, Ulin and Lucy try to ignite the powder to no avail, and flee before being captured. Simultaneously, the militia learns of the feint and Palin flees to the Academy. Then the draconian forces break open the door and it ignites the powder completely destroying the Academy in jets of flame. As the dragons flee wounded, they see Palin standing in shock at his beloved academy in ruins and capture him, bringing him to Beryl. This leaves Ulin scarred and swears of ever using the Thunder powder again. This was fun to revisit and reflect on how Palin was caught and how the Academy was destroyed, as this assets up the War of Souls wonderfully. Look, the collection wasn't the best, but it had some entertaining stories, and it just reinforces my love of reading rather than listening to these stories. The narrators do their best but frankly, it's never as good as it sounds in my own head. If you are a Dragonlance fan, definitely tread the collection. If you want a bit of a prequel of the War of Souls, it would also be worth a read. But if you are just a casual fan, I think you could skip this collection without missing out. Outro And that's it for my review of Rebels and Tyrants edited by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. What did you think of the anthology? Did you connect with any of these stories?

1. Purpose of the Sanctions The sanctions aim to cripple Russia’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine by targeting its oil revenue, which is a major source of economic and military support. The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control stated the move is intended to degrade Russia’s war machine and economy. 2. Political Context The sanctions follow a canceled meeting between Trump and Putin, signaling rising tensions and frustration. Trump’s administration is positioning this as a shift toward “peace through strength”, emphasizing economic pressure over diplomacy. 3. Economic Implications Russia may be forced to lower oil prices or reduce production, both of which would hurt its economy. The sanctions could lead to global oil price spikes and affect energy markets. The effectiveness depends on international coordination, especially with major buyers like India and China. 4. Domestic Political Support There is bipartisan support in Congress for the sanctions. Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Mullin both expressed strong backing, framing the move as overdue and necessary. Trump described the sanctions as “very big and tremendous,” indicating a serious escalation. 5. Strategic Considerations The podcast suggests this is just the first step in a broader strategy, potentially including: Secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. Tariffs on Russian oil imports. Military aid to Ukraine via European purchases. 6. Diplomatic Messaging The sanctions are also framed as a lever for diplomacy, with calls for a ceasefire. Trump’s rhetoric and canceled meeting with Putin reflect a hardening stance after failed diplomatic efforts. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The Trump administration announced on Wednesday that it was placing Russia's two largest oil producers — Lukoil and Rosneft — on the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions list. The move is aimed at targeting Russia's war finances, as the two companies account for nearly half of the country's crude exports. In this edition, we'll explore how this decision could affect global buyers of Russian oil, particularly in India.

Ghost takes listeners on a sweeping journey from Africa's mineral wars to China's bold calls for a new global system. He breaks down Trump's quiet role in negotiating peace in the Congo through Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, exposing how decades of corruption, Israeli diamond cartels, and corporate exploitation left $24 trillion in minerals at the center of global conflict. Ghost explains how Rwanda-backed militias, black-market smuggling, and coups tie directly to deep state networks, while Qatar positions itself as the world's new mediator. Shifting to China, he unpacks the SCO summit where Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, and Iran's president pledged multipolar cooperation against Western hegemony, with Trump's tongue-in-cheek Truth Social posts adding another layer of intrigue. From Ebola outbreaks in the Congo to Putin's Arctic deals and Kim's pledge to Russia, Ghost connects the dots between cartels, coups, and competing world orders. A dense, fiery episode that blends history, geopolitics, and narrative warfare into one.

Interview with George Salamis, President & CEO of Integra Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/integra-resources-tsxvitr-developer-transforms-into-cash-flowing-gold-producer-7094Recording date: 9th June 2025Integra Resources has successfully completed its transformation from a gold developer to a cash-flowing producer, marking a pivotal shift in the company's eight-year trajectory. The Nevada-focused mining company now operates the Florida Canyon mine, which began production six months ago and serves as the financial engine for developing two additional projects in the state's prolific Great Basin region.President and CEO George Salamis emphasizes that many institutional investors still perceive Integra as a developer rather than a producer. "The concept of Integra actually producing gold and having cash flow is new," he explains. "About two-thirds of the funds that we're meeting this week don't know Integra as a gold producer - they know Integra as a gold developer."The company controls a substantial 10 million ounce portfolio across three Nevada projects, targeting 300,000 ounces annually when all assets reach production. This scale would position Integra among mid-tier gold producers, representing a significant step-change from typical junior developer models.Florida Canyon's restart has generated impressive financial results, with $60 million in treasury and cash margins of approximately $1,000 per ounce. This financial strength enables self-funded development of the DeLamar and Nevada North projects without dilutive equity financing. "Six months ago we would have been not contemplating going fast this year on Nevada North," Salamis notes. "Now with the cash balance that we have and the money that we're generating from Florida Canyon, we can afford to go much faster."The company benefits from favorable regulatory tailwinds under the current US administration, which has designated gold as a critical mineral and promised 30-day permitting turnarounds. Integra sits among the top three projects in the US permitting queue, positioning it advantageously in a sector with limited new development opportunities.Despite operational progress, Integra trades below typical producer multiples, creating a valuation gap that management expects to close through consistent quarterly performance and market education efforts.View Integra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/integra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

When a high-value case walks through your door, you know this could be the catalyst that transforms your practice. But without substantial resources, you're faced with difficult choices: refer the case out for a fraction of its value or risk your entire practice. Elizabeth Larrick discovered a third option. In this episode of Personal Injury Mastermind, learn how virtual focus groups provide an innovative solution for small and mid-sized personal injury firms. Elizabeth explains how this approach allows firms to maximize case value without requiring the extensive resources traditionally needed to handle high-value cases. Key insights: Virtual focus groups can help firms identify case strengths and weaknesses early in the process These cost-effective alternatives to traditional focus groups help small firms make strategic decisions about whether to litigate or settle The approach allows attorneys to identify blind spots before major depositions and expert testimony Focus groups can be conducted throughout the case timeline - as short as one hour early on, with longer sessions as trial approaches Guest Details Elizabeth Larrick works primarily with solo practitioners and small to mid-sized firms, helping them make strategic decisions about high-value cases without requiring the traditional "war chest" that larger firms maintain.

The REAL reason the Establishment is backing Kamala Harris is the Biden-Harris war chest the Left doesn't want to lose. Team Trump prepares a new legal battle against the DNC as congressional hearings into the attempted murder of President Trump unveils the true corruption of the alphabet agencies. Why would the heads of the Secret Service, FBI and DHS refuse to appear to answer America's questions? You decide as the DEI push at the Secret Service means male and female agents are held to dramatically different standards.

This week in Sea of Thieves we got some much-needed update to ship speeds that addresses the imbalance between the three different ship types. It's been broken for a long time and thankfully it feels like things are working as intended. Aside from the game crashing, that may still need some attention. We got some much-needed changes to the Double Barrel Pistol and some adjustments to the throwing knives.  Additionally, there were changes to the commendation values for the War Chest which brought in the new features in Season 12. I wanted to take some time at the beginning to explain what's been going on and apologize for the infrequency of the episodes.   KEEL24 for $10 off Fest of Legends tickets Contact Info: Email: Captlogun@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/capt_logun Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/capt_logun Gamertag: CaptainLogun Community: Keelhauled Podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/5VRabwR Other Places to Listen: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/keelhauled-a-sea-of-thieves-podcast/id1351615675?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BrEqA6prz6t31wlFgaWaS Merch: Teespring: https://teespring.com/stores/keelhauled-podcast Use code: KEELHAUL10 at checkout for 10% off your order

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the longtime publisher of BeaverBlitz.com, Angie Machado, talking about the state of the Oregon State athletic programs as the Beavers head into uncharted territory. With the breakup of the Conference of Champions, Oregon State and Washington State were left trying to put the pieces back together, forming a two-team conference under the Pac-12 banner during the two year NCAA grace period. Over the next 24 months OSU and WSU will try and rebuild the Pac-12 into at least an eight team conference and work their way towards the future equivalence of "Power Five" status. The War Chest of the Pac-2 will at least be healthy thanks to the recently signed settlement between OSU and WSU and the departing 10 members, giving them $65 million and assurances that the Pac-2 can remain a conference for the next two years. They also discuss how Oregon State has looked this spring, the reported TV deal with the CW, players hitting the transfer portal and lots more. As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat. For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!
