Prediction: #Binance is going to get out from under the independent monitoring and billions of dollars in #moneylaundering fines (which, contrary to the way it is phrased in WSJ, I’m pretty sure have not all been paid yet - payment was to take place over the course of several years) it was hit with in exchange for helping grow the market share of the Trump + Witkoff family stablecoin #USD1 (launched by #WorldLibertyFinancial / #WLFI).

WSJ Binance Seeks to Curb US Oversight While in Deal Talks With Trump’s Crypto Company Executives for the cryptocurrency exchange met with Treasury officials last month after the company entered into talks with a Trump family venture Executives from cryptocurrency exchange Binance met with Treasury Department officials last month and discussed loosening U.S. government oversight on the company, while it was also exploring a business deal with a Trump family crypto venture, according to people familiar with the talks. The Binance executives asked Treasury officials in Washington to remove a U.S. monitor that oversees the exchange’s compliance with anti-money-laundering laws, some of the people said. The move would mark a first step toward returning the company, which in 2023 pleaded guilty to violating those laws, to the U.S. market. Binance has also been in talks to list a new dollar-pegged cryptocurrency from World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture backed by President Trump’s family, other people familiar with the discussions said. Listing the token, known as a stablecoin, could catapult it into a huge market and potentially bring in billions in profit for the family. Those dealings mark the progression of a growing alliance between the Trump family and Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, which paid a record $4.3 billion fine for allowing terrorists, drug traffickers and sanctioned actors

An the last quote from Carole Cadwalladr's TED talk "This is what a digital coup looks like":

I chose to come back to TED because I'm reclaiming my story, my words.

We are not powerless.

The 30,000 people who supported me proved that – we ar not powerless.
Because we know who we are, and we know what we stand for.

And my question to Silicon Valley is, do you?

Carole Cadwalladr:

Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk. Your are not gods. You are men, and you are careless.

You think that by allying yourself with an autocrat you will be protected. That's not how history works. It's not even how oligarchy works.

[…]

You are sucking up to a tuyrant who is trying to destroy the laws who made your businesses possible.

You are collaborators.

You are complicit in a regime of fear and cruelty.

Der #TedTalk von Journalistin #CaroleCadwalladr ist meine dringende Empfehlung.

Sie will aufmerksam machen, wachrütteln und gibt ein paar kleine Empfehlungen. Ihr Rede ist Teil einer modernen Aufklärung.

This is what a digital coup looks like

Tech bros' unchecked power fosters a digital coup, undermining democracy with tools they create. Resist by reclaiming data privacy.

JW Prince of CPH, Radicalized

Corporations won't save us, courts won't save us - we, the people, all of us, YOU, ME, we are the last line of defense & the first line of attack.

An understandably emotional Carole Cadwalladr explains why, and what we need to do.

"We can't win every battle, but we definitely don't win if we don't fight [...] We are not powerless!"
