  1. more great reporting from Jason Mikula on the #a16z / #MarcAndreessen backed financial disaster known as Synapse, the middleman behind Yotta and others that lost track of (and maybe lost) most of their customers’ money.

    Andreessen’s desire to eliminate the #CFPB for “terrorizing” #fintech companies like Synapse suggests a desire to keep backing companies that will strip mine the wallets of uneducated consumers.

    Seen also: Evolve Bank & Trust (a bank popular with players like #FTX and #GeorgeSantos), #VoyagerDigital (a crypto company backed by #MarcCuban that incinerated user deposits in 2022), and #MetropolitanCommercialBank (#MCB), a NY institution beloved by the far right in Israel.

  2. George Santos is not the greatest #fabulist / #conman politician — but he's well on his way to being a contender if he manages to dodge prison.

    Like Santos, Ignaz Trebitsch Lincoln was elected to a national legislature under dubious circumstances (ITL won a seat in UK's house of parliament before obtaining citizenship). Like Santos, ITL also participated in a coup attempt (the Kapp Putsch). ITL's lifestory is much more incredible and wide-ranging than Santos, but Santos is still young.
