Update (1415ET): U.S. District Judge Edward Davila just sentenced Elizabeth Holmes, the criminal founder of Theranos convicted of fraud, to 135 months, or 11.25 years, in prison, capping the historic downfall of what the media and the Clinton Foundation unabashedly dubbed as a "one-time Silicon Valley wunderkind."
Prosecutors had asked the judge for a 15-year sentence, while Holmes' defense attorneys had asked for 18 months of house arrest.
Ms. Holmes has 14 days to appeal her conviction.
The judge ordered Ms. Holmes to surrender on April 27, 2023.

Depends on who you are, who your parents are. RU and Aristocrat?
**A Smoldering Fuse***
Thirty-seven billion more dollars for Ukraine? (That’s thirty-seven thousand millions of dollars, by the way.) Bringing the total this year to a click-or-two over ninety billion (ninety-thousand millions), on top of whatever Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX company funneled through that sad-sack international money laundromat — soon to be the darkest backwater of a European failed state since Field Marshal Melchior von Hatzfeldt of Westphalia left Bohemia a corpse-strewn wasteland after the Battle of Jankau (1645).
It really doesn’t matter how much more money we pound down that rat-hole, you understand, because by the time various parties — the weapons-makers, Volodymyr Zelensky, sundry members of the US House of Representatives, The Biden family, the World Economic Forum — are finished creaming off their fair shares, poor Ukraine won’t have enough cash-on-hand to replace six fuse-boxes in Zaporizhzhia.
The extended family Bankman-Fried is the quintessence of Woke aristocracy. Dad Joe Bankman and mom Barbara Fried are both law professors at Stanford. She also acted as a money-bundler for the Democratic Party and ran two non-profit “voter registration” orgs (against the IRS laws which only permit non-partisan organized voter registration). Brother Gabe Bankman-Fried headed a non-profit named Guarding Against Pandemics (funded by Sam), which lobbies Congress to construct new platforms for medical tyranny. Aunt Linda Fried is Dean of the Columbia U’s Public Health school, and is associated with Johns Hopkins, which ran the October 2019 Event 201 pandemic drill (sponsored by the Gates Foundation) months before the Covid-19 outbreak.
Sam’s girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, ran the Alameda Investments arm of the FTX empire (that is, FTX’s own money laundromat). Her dad, Glenn Ellison is chair of MIT’s Econ School. His former colleague on the MIT Econ faculty, Gary Gensler, who specialized in blockchains there, is now head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, an agency that Sam Bankman Fried was attempting to rope into a regulation scheme to eliminate FTX’s crypto-currency competitors. Caroline’s mom, Sara Fisher Ellison is an MIT econ prof specializing in the pharmaceutical industry (fancy that!). Caroline Ellison is currently on-the-run.
The sum total of all this professional and academic accomplishment is also the quintessence of Woke-Jacobin turpitude in service to a political faction that seeks maximum moneygrubbing while acting to overthrow every norm of behavior ...................It’s also a lesson in why the managerial elite of our country are no longer trustworthy. They have gotten away with crimes against the nation for years, which has only made them bolder and more reckless.

Homes in Bahamas
New court documents show that the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which is another example of financial impropriety, used corporate funds to buy homes in the Bahamas and other personal items in the names of employees and company advisers. Newly appointed FTX CEO John Ray III confirmed that a paucity of corporate controls for accounting purposes resulted in spending that wasn’t “appropriate for a business enterprise.”
It was recently reported that Alameda Research, an investment fund started by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, quietly borrowed billions in FTX client funds and then traded the deposits without explicit consent. The current CEO of Alameda, Carolina Ellison, admitted that she, Bankman-Fried, and other executives knew about transferring customer funds to the investment firm.

Thanksgiving Week Trading Alert
Reply
As we look ahead to next week it is important to be aware that this is not a normal trading period.
The week encompassing the US Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday is one characterized by thinning liquidity. Many in the US will start traveling by Wednesday and those still trading on that day will be looking for early exits. So, while US markets are open on Friday, trading will essentially wind down in the US by mid-week.
This suggests...

Does Lagarde really believe that interest rates of 1,5% will bring down demand and inflation?
At the same time, she keeps expanding the ECB's balance sheet by reinvesting principal and coupons at higher interest rates.

Is This the End Game for Crypto?
Reply
Recent events have made clear the need to regulate crypto, an industry that grew from nothing to a $3 trillion market capitalization a year ago, although most of that has now evaporated. But it also seems likely that the industry couldn’t survive regulation.
