  As I keep saying, crypto has only two uses: gambling and criminality. I have personal experience of this as crypto scammers hacked my account recently.

  This whole Iran thing is such theater. Don't forget about Baku and the IRG. 'Investigations published in 2017 revealed that a luxury hotel project in Baku, Azerbaijan, which was branded and managed by The Trump Organization, was deeply connected to a powerful Azerbaijani family

  This is an absolutely wild, must-read story from @kowsmann, @AABerwick and @BenFoldy. Hard to see how the Administration could square not aggressively following up on this reporting while being on the precipice of a major bombing campaign...
