2023.03.24 20:44 Gordon_Law NFT Taxes in the United States
As a crypto tax law firm, we've seen quite a few questions about NFT taxes come up, so we are going to break down top 5 NFT tax questions.
1) Am I taxed when buying and selling NFTs?
Buying NFTs with cryptocurrency is a taxable event and is subject to capital gains/losses. Selling an NFT in exchange for cryptocurrency, fiat, another NFT, or any good/service is also considered a taxable event.
2) Are airdrops taxable?
Yes! Airdrops are taxed as ordinary income at the time of receipt.
3) How can I save money on my NFT taxes?
Tax-loss harvesting. Sell your NFT at a loss and use that loss to offset gains. If you have a bunch of old NFTs sitting in a wallet, this is a great way to help yourself in the future.
4) I want to pool funds together with a friend to buy a NFT, how will taxes work?
This is where things get a bit tricky tax wise. It’s best practice to set up an LLC with its own separate accounts before purchasing NFTs with someone else. Reselling or trading the NFTs will create capital gains or losses, and it’s much easier to keep track of all that if you properly set up a business.
5) If I earn tokens in a video game, is that taxable?
If tokens earned within a game can typically be traded and sold and have real-world value, these awards are taxed as ordinary income. Spending crypto to buy in-game items; spending in-game tokens for items; or trading in-game tokens, are all taxable transactions as well.

2023.03.23 16:36 someguyfromnj Simple Guide to Marketing your Law Firm
someguyfromnj here, Im posting this on behalf of a friend because he has no karma.
Simple guide to Marketing your law firm.
My name is Sahil and I own a boutique tech company in Orlando, FL called smallfirmware.com.
I dont want to come off as SPAM, I reached out to the mods before posting this and they confirmed as long as I dont get flagged and my content is informative, it should be fine.
Just an FYI but Ive worked with many Redditors in the last two years...many of them for free.
So here goes.
Website You must have a website in this day and age. No way around it. I suggest using something simple initially - Wix, Godaddy Builder, even Canva is fine. Then you should move to Wordpress.
Why Wordpress? Wordpress is free, open source and you can host it almost anywhere. It’s tech heavy but you can hire anyone to customize it through an online freelance site. You just have to have the right vision.
If you hire someone to make the Wordpress site, you’ll need to guide them precisely on what to do - “put this image here, or put this booking link there.” I suggest using a free app called Awesome Screenshot, it’s an add on to Chrome - you can use it to point and direct your developer to what is it that you want.
Any tech company you hire will likely make a site quickly but they will lack the right content...this is key. You must have a great “About Us” section, an easy to access “Contact” section, laymen content in terms of “Practice Areas” and some sort of call to action. I hate to say it but you, as a legal expert, should draft the initial content first or at least have someone with a legal background do it (creative writing law students are perfect for this).
The call to action. Potential clients come to your site, if your site doesn't have a call to action, they will likely leave. A call to action is something along the lines of“Let's schedule a consultation now.” or “Let's chat and go over your concerns. Something that makes them want to interact with your firm.
Social Accounts This isn't just about Facebook and Instagram, you need to have a Google Business profile, a Linkedin personal and business profile, etc. Potential clients will likely Google you and your firm before they call you…you want to make sure you have as many of the playing fields covered as possible. The profiles are free, and with the right tools you can easily manage all of them.
Yelp is another good one because it almost always comes up on the first page of search engines.
Im sorry but most of these social media networks will annoy you to spend money with them, but for now it's not needed.
Landing Page Once you have a website and social media accounts setup, you want to look into landing pages. When I create a site (even for my pending firm), I make sure every page acts like a landing page. A landing page is essentially the first page your potential client will see. On that page, you want as much targeted content with a call to action as possible.
For example, let's say you want to target potential clients who need wage garnishment hearing representation. Then your landing page should talk about the various options for a wage garnishment defense and allow the potential client to schedule an appointment with your firm.
Another example would be, let’s say you want to target potential clients who need traffic court representation for speeding. So your landing page should talk about the various defenses to a speeding ticket, along with a range of consequences. Then allow the client to schedule an appointment or even contact you with further questions. Text messaging works wonders for this, the potential client text messages your firm an image of the ticket, you can respond with a price range and link to schedule a consultation.
Funnel The funnel is key. For years funnels have been ideal in the eCommerce industry (my previous industry) but in the legal industry, they are just starting to be popular. A funnel is simply a fancy way of saying you target your content to your ideal potential client base AND have the potential client interact with your business.
For example - Let’s say you do criminal law and you want to focus on getting more DUI clients. So you target your content and/or advertisements to people who might drink heavily. I know that sounds crazy but think of college kids in wealthy zip codes who have lots of friends and go to “party,” schools.
Another example would be targeting estate planning clients - You can focus your content and advertisements to families in wealthy zip codes who own a home and have median income far above the state average.
Data Analytics This is the icing on top. Once you get a site, social accounts and landing pages ready. You can focus all your marketing efforts to your ideal client base. This gets a bit creative but think about it, you are a Bankruptcy attorney in PA, why are you marketing your keywords to personal injury victims in FL? I see this very often, complete wastage of marketing funds. By the time you realize you're wasting money and tell your marketing team, you’ve spent hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
Instead, you find your ideal client base by working backwards. Let's say you want immigration clients…specifically clients who need advance parole help. So you target wedding planners, wedding planning sites, online wedding magazines, international matrimonial sites, etc. Dont waste your ad spend on blanketing the entire spectrum, go after your ideal client base.
Another example is Bankruptcy clients. Let's say you want to focus on getting Chapter 7 clients…so you focus your keywords to people in lower income levels, who have lower credit ratings and high amounts of debt to income ratios.
Disclaimer Most bars have rules on advertising, you want to make sure you comply with these rules so it's (I can't stress this enough) very important you work with a tech/marketing company that knows the rules.
When I was in law school, lady buddy of mine got sued by Amex. She called a lawyer and thought she could get out of the debt. The lawyer she spoke with explained how it would affect her C&F in FL and gave her a run down about advertising…he told her (I actually heard this, it's shocking) that his firm got fined over $1500 for using the wrong color on their envelopes. He explained that their inkjet printer started to run out of ink and a few dozen marketing envelopes went out with not too prominent ink showing the words “Advertising.”
Another recent situation is a immigration lawyer who accidentally listed his paralegal as an attorney on their site. The site and content was made by a tech company overseas, the paralegal was an actual attorney overseas but not in FL. The lawyer took down his entire site and ended up hiring us to redo it because the Bar confronted him.
Other marketing avenues that work
Physical Mailers - Buddy of mine did 600K in revenue in 2019, just from mailers in Bankruptcy.
Geotag Marketing - Estate planning lawyer who I graduated law school with did 250K in revenue from marketing to folks who enter specific types of areas. Think ads to folks at country clubs.
Cultivation of your Existing Client base - Estate planning firm had a revenue boost in 2022 from simply offering will prep to their existing clients who had legal insurance. They went through their list of clients, flagged anyone who had legal insurance and hired the firm for another service and simply called them.
Employer Targeting - There are many legal insurance providers out there, you can figure out which employers offer which providers and then target your advertising to those employees. The employee gets “free,” or low cost services, you get a boost in revenue.
Now a bit of self promo (not trying to spam)
I went to law school in FL, I passed the early 2021 bar. I am waiting on C&F to start my own law firm but until then, Im using my tech skills to help small and solo firms around the country. Prior to law school, I worked in eCom and built numerous small tech companies, won a bunch of awards and decided to torture myself later in life (haha, with law school).
Im here to help, yes I offer paid services but Im having fun here and will happily point folks in the right direction, for free, if I can. I've worked with many redditors all over the country in terms of their practice.
My user ID is smallfirmware but my karma is low so Im asking someguyfromnj to post this. someguyfromnj and I went to law school together, he graduated years before me but we keep in contact. He is a good dude.

2023.03.23 15:35 throwawaylurker012 The Citadel Big 3? Revisiting how Citadel’s sphere of influence has its fingers stuck not just in the stock market, but the municipal/bond market and sovereign debt/sovereign debt credit default swaps to dangerous degree
 | Quick heads up: this is "non-technically" a repost that I stupidly decided to post 30 min before the earnings call so hoping gets more eyes now! submitted by throwawaylurker012 to Superstonk [link] [comments] TL;DR:
https://preview.redd.it/3eds85o10ipa1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=85a5703e6478347b82613d47d361309b192bda3e Hi y’all. Been some while since have been able to post regularly here, so I’m returning alongside my recent post on FHLB with a bit of a “DD". Partial rush job, so all errors are mine and mine alone (obviously) 0. Sphere of InfluenceOver the past 84 years (/s), you lovely apes at Superstonk have been able to fish out many of the finer points of corruption crystallized into pure, unadulterated financial terrorism and financial terrorist-level crime undertaken by Steve Cohen (Point 72), Jeff Yass (Susquehanna), Doug Cifu & Vincent Viola (Virtu), as well as Wolverine Trading, Jane Street, TwoSigma, and more. But, of course, much of it has centered on our Mayo-artist-in-residence and his firm, that of none other but Ken Griffin and Citadel. One of the biggest finds that has come to light has been the complete and utter bullshit of having (1) a hedge fund and (2) owning a market making firm that most DEFINITELY does not use that non-public information to its benefit? I mean, it would be easy for us to check except that we need 5 swipes to even access that level of inner sanctum at Citadel, which–per DLauer’s words–is more than the fucking Pentagon. https://preview.redd.it/y4ixbyn20ipa1.png?width=606&format=png&auto=webp&s=86b2cb5fcb0c2ace5c9cda6e2fcbc575717b7224 But despite Ken Griffin’s reach into every aspect of the most influential stock market in the world, that is not his ONLY level of his sphere of influence. For we, dear apes, can step back and revisit this idea that Citadel’s power duo (its market making firm and hedge fund) is more like a single part of a Big 3. 1. Meet the Big 3Citadel’s sphere of influence includes not JUST (1) the stock market business, but directly or indirectly, the (2) U.S. municipal and bond markets, plus (3) the sovereign debt/sovereign debt credit default swap markets. Yes, you heard that right. Citadel not only has some sufficient level of influence to tank your favorite stock–and, in turn–retirement fund, but can also effectively drive your city into the fucking ground, or even your country. I’ve written about each of these at length, and wanted to revisit some pieces in the wake of our recent dick twitchings of the coming financial crash. 2. Meet the Municipal Bond MarketCitadel has an indirect grip tickling the taint of the municipal bond market, believe it or not. I first wrote about the municipal bond market here (“Headlands: How ex-Mayo mercenaries copy pasted Citadel’s model in the muni bond market”): https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/sy6ubj/headlands_how_exmayo_mercenaries_copy_pasted/. For those unfamiliar with municipal bonds, I’ll reiterate what they are and why many push them as a safe investment in most times (with some caution being thrown intermittently due to the collapse of regional banks like FRC and Silicon Valley Bank): https://preview.redd.it/ait36dy30ipa1.png?width=1326&format=png&auto=webp&s=5195530511eabaffb4859bae25a17cd3e5271a10 “Municipal bonds (or "munis" for short) help towns/cities raise money for projects like building schools, parks, and fixing highways. Many retail investors--admittedly, on the wealthier side--invest in munis for tax incentives like not paying federal tax on bond returns. In certain cases, certain muni buys also mean no state taxes are paid…Just like what had happened to stocks, the old-school market for buying and selling muni bonds is going electronic. This is mainly done through an ATS, or "alternative trading system" known also as a dark pool. This speeds up the process of buying and selling munis, making it closer to a "house auction".In the wake of the SVB (Silicon Valley Bank), there have already been rumblings of its effect on the municipal bond market (Bloomberg “Bank Woes Create Bond Bargain in Obscure Corner of Muni Market”): “Investor concerns over the crises within the financial industry are bleeding into a corner of the $4 trillion municipal-bond market where major investment banks guarantee energy for public utilities…. 3. San Jose, Revisited That part about “large institutional banks” acting as facilitators of the transactions is what we saw in part in this post by [redacted]. https://preview.redd.it/ujro45850ipa1.png?width=1128&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a851f93463c9ed49de07eb0d4e8265285573006 A commenter spoke about this, and how it wasn’t Wells Fargo in doo doo but the city of San Jose. “I believe in theses cases it’s not Wells Fargo that has a problem but the city of San José. „Because presentments are currently processed automatically at DTC, IPAs have the option to refuse to pay (“RTP”) for maturing MMI Obligations to protect against the possibility that an IPA may not be able to fund settlement because it has not received funds from the relevant issuer. „ -> Wells Fargo didn’t receive the money from San José city. https://preview.redd.it/ak40o0x50ipa1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a388e2e714a02e41c601c8445c35b5577a794b5 Wells Fargo has no liability or influence on the money that comes from the city and is distributed to the investors. If the money doesn’t come or isn’t sufficient, the assets are sold or liquidated and used to pay investors. In this case, we might be seeing one of the first of MANY issues of cities up shit’s creek over this. 4. The Municipal Bond Market Time BombThe size of the municipal market is A SHIT TON BIGGER than the corporate bond market, which will already show even more signs of being turbo fucked due to borrowing at low interest rates for years. Here’s the size of the municipal bond market for scale, sans banana: https://preview.redd.it/j1j958070ipa1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb23e5ac0b04867c4eb1bc86d50502c41b87ce23 Unfortunately, just like retirement funds, many muni investors are “buy and hold”: they buy a muni expecting a safe, long-term return with no federal income tax and then, welp, shit hits the fan. The market is heavily illiquid too, meaning if shit needs to move, then you might be fucked. Only about 1% of municipal securities trade any given day, in auctions that often take HOURS: “Now, the primary method of trading on this doesn't look like the New York Stock Exchange or like Nasdaq. It looks like an auction. It takes about 4 hours. An auction is initiated. Participants who come in can bid on this, and it is a competitive auction that yields a very good price.” Now to my understanding you can’t short these bonds, but the long time frame means its hard to sell these illiquid assets. Not only that, THERE IS NO NATIONAL NBBO (National Best Bid Offer)...you’re flying blind while this shit happens. Now if you’re wondering what magnanimous souls are helping municipal bonds be sold or fixed in a timely manner for cities like San Jose, well have I got news for you. 5. Meet Headlands, U.S. Municipal/Bond Market Making Firm…Run by 3 Ex-Citadel EmployeesTwo months after the sneeze (March 2021), TD Ameritrade bought municipal bond market maker Headlands. Yes, that’s right…an electronic market maker just like Citadel, this time for bonds for cities and towns vs. stocks. Now let’s check the fine fellows that run this: https://preview.redd.it/gjsjlhx70ipa1.png?width=1886&format=png&auto=webp&s=3876cc44a9043edac5e761be5f161247737ef53c
Of note, Matthew Andresen founded Island, one of the 1st dark pools EVER and 2nd only to “Instinet” (who also got an even bigger wave of funds during the sneeze, info courtesy of Ringing Bells) and was featured heavily in the Scott Patterson book “Dark Pools”. Ol Matty told us that Headlands is completely automated, and where some muni traders make 75-100 muni bond sales a day (sometimes over the phone), Headlands currently bids on 10,000+ bond auctions a day with its algo. Matty Boi even said if that number ever 10x’d “we wouldn’t notice.” Even more sus, Headlands has been growing its own “holdings” of muni bonds on its books. 6. In Bros We Trust So remember, this branch of 3 ex-Citadel bros is front and center to the issues already rearing their head. In my previous post, these were just SOME of the already teetering municipal bond issues:
https://preview.redd.it/vbtjqkl90ipa1.png?width=1217&format=png&auto=webp&s=a1e62096a8be6cd8192501c467288b5fea4e674b
7. HurricaneWhat began this rabbit hole was the one and only welp 0 0 7, who caught wind of some fuckery in the municipal bond market: https://preview.redd.it/q74g4wba0ipa1.png?width=1324&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4432794327c285076f5a9ae31cb19083a03a190 In the post, he mentioned how "American Thinker" 's Joseph Lawler mentioned the SEC has been giving fucking STIFF Heismans nonstop (or per [redacted] the ol' Dustin Martin "don't argues" for you Aussie apes!) on FOIA requests (Freedom of Information Act) related to the municipal bond default in Puerto Rico, the BIGGEST bond default in America's history EVER. https://preview.redd.it/6cqn442b0ipa1.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=2129dfd14b4eb72a71a14d758a85d5e1342a786d You see, because this level of municipal bond includes fuckery includes not just cities and towns, but U.S. TERRITORIES. In my post about Hurricane Maria’s effect on Puerto Rico, I talked about how UBS and others loaded up Puerto Rico with debt because of what’s called a “Treasury Put” guarantee that was even called “an exit strategy” for banks (“They describe the "treasury put" as "...the implicit guarantee -- as perceived by investors -- from a government agency to provide support in the event of financial distress by the issuer of Puerto Rican bonds."”). Puerto Rico’s default was the largest in US history, EVER. And all this the same while guess who was holding the bag? Let’s see what W S O P tells us: “The reality is that a large percentage of Puerto Rico’s debt is held in tax-free municipal bonds and municipal bond mutual funds, owned not by Wall Street banks or tycoons, but by mom and pop investors seeking tax-free income.” https://preview.redd.it/c5884e2c0ipa1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=3070f4d655a09076ae08560feff9e303359fe8ca So once again, whether its retirement funds or municipal bonds, its retail caught holding the bag. And this hasn't changed for years. We’ve seen similar fuckery with bonds for NYC in the 70s, and more recently in the 00s for Detroit. One astute wrinkle by the name of [redacted] posted this on that original post trying to dig into how it could all be related: …how the MMLF fund that expanded money/credit to towns/cities started including commercial paper…but also leveraged near the 15 to 1 ratio perhaps under the Net Capital Requirement limit: 8. Don't Bet Against America...Says the Banks and Hedge Funds That Already DidCommercial Paper? Municipals related? Now where does that sound familiar? Ah, yes…the city of San Jose got its call-out by Wells Fargo over COMMERCIAL PAPER. This comes as the push for ppl into municipal bond markets continues, trying to sell it as a “safe haven” to retail investors. Vanguard just recently launched its first ETF–surprise, its first US-listed ETF in 2 years– for municipal bonds (selling point: “hey everyone it’s tax-exempt! Give us money plz!”) for example: https://preview.redd.it/cjg28jvd0ipa1.png?width=1780&format=png&auto=webp&s=a35e61948fbe2e86b9b6f51b1cc6f1344674aac9 Many of us can see all of it for what it is. Bullshit. In the wake of the SVB collapse, there is still a strong push that these regional banks–many of which lend to municipalities–will be fine. This “safe haven” theory continues, even as articles try to have them appeal abroad (such as a few days ago, “ ESG Factors of Munis May Attract Non-US Investors” “https://www.marketsmedia.com/esg-factors-of-munis-may-attract-non-us-investors/”) FWIW also I found an interesting research paper talking about hedge funds buying up credit default swaps, and how they could potentially bankrupt towns/municipalities through some of these moves if they wanted: https://openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.13051/8264/MingJieWangCreditDefaultS.pdf?sequence=2 **** This is all while we have 3 ex-Citadel heads in charge of just how the municipal bond market moves, like that of San Jose. So is this where Citadel’s reach stops? Clearly, no. It doesn’t stop at the US border, just like how Mayo Force One doesn’t. 10. ELI5: What’s a Soverign Credit Default Swap?https://preview.redd.it/s07orbqe0ipa1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=062e391541c1ad1bdf4ea997195f391a0e701689 That’s right, mofos. You read that sub-header right. In case you’re wondering, not only can you take out credit default swaps on a failing Swiss bank like CS, but you can do so ON ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRIES. In one of my old posts “Sovereign Debts & Ransom Notes: Pt. 1 The Importance of Being Non-Linearly Destabilized through Sovereign Credit Default Swaps” (“https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/t35rdi/sovereign_debts_ransom_notes_pt_1_the_importance/”), I talked a little more about the insanity of these things even existing. Sovereign credit default swaps exist. Long story short: sovereign credit default swaps are insurance policies that if a country defaults (usually on its debt)then you get paid! Like many other shit that we’ve seen in the GME saga, they are a form of financial derivative (a bet that something goes up, a bet that something goes down) on an underlying (the thing you’re betting on)....They can be used to insure government debt for a country in case that country is unable to pay its debt, for example. However, just like other instruments, naked sovereign credit default swaps also exist. Naked sovereign credit default swaps are used to bet that a country or a country's debt will fail without you owning that country's debt. In part, they were destabilising during the Euro-crisis immediately after the 2008 financial crash. Greece was one of the countries that got naked shorted in 2008. In fact, the country got shorted so bad they were worried about fucking SHORT SQUEEZES on Greek debt and the sovereign CDSs! There were a tons of perhaps “we will see soon” if relevant additional points in that old research, including:
https://preview.redd.it/681b62rf0ipa1.png?width=1295&format=png&auto=webp&s=c40e04802645aa92ef5804a2b68e0f8750c29282
Crazy shit. So you might say, now this post is meant to be about Citadel’s sphere of influence you might say? “Where does Citadel fit into all this? ” 11. Meet the CDDC (Credit Derivatives Determination Committee)...Where Citadel Sit and Helps Decide Which Countries Default on their DebtOne of the biggest GFC 2008 scenarios of sovereign credit default swaps being misused was against Greece. Afterwards, one of its biggest cases of misuse was by Elliot Management (ran by Paul Singer) who was using their position on the Credit Derivatives Determination Committee, or CDDC, to help decide when their sovereign credit default swaps against Argentina would pay out. Wait, Eliot Management doesn’t sound big enough. Who else is on this committee? https://preview.redd.it/n4rwjbug0ipa1.png?width=928&format=png&auto=webp&s=3df40ea209415311e6b923d4af83348c94ef08c2 Oh wait, so Citadel is ALSO on this committee? Alongside our favorite fucksticks like Chase, Goldman, Deutsche, and BNP? It’s not lost on me with seeing now that Credit Suisse has been sucked up into UBS, maybe its position on the CDDC has been absorbed further by UBS. Back then, I wrote about the fact is we know next to nothing about the sovereign credit default swaps that might be opened up against countries (be it Russia, Sri Lanka, or otherwise): https://preview.redd.it/prznd98j0ipa1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=118af8ed538c3534042472c8837af793236e2bce Here's one such example of a swap dealer: Swiss financial terrorist aficionados UBS AG, who registered to be a swaps dealer with the US at the end of 2012. (UBS had also been a member of the CDDC through the Greek crisis in early 2012, alongside Citadel. In Mar. 2012, they were also one of the members pressing to ask whether Greece had defaulted already.) Not only that, but the CDDC even can say when CORPORATE BONDS even shit the bed: late last year, they were the ones who were deciding to let everyone know whether Sunac (an Evergrande-related company) went tits up. 12. We Say WhenFor months, there has been talk of a looming debt crisis (alongside all the other ones) in the sovereign debt world. And shit continues to hit the proverbial fan. Apart from Russia, Sri Lanka and others, emerging markets like Ghana and Zambia are beginning to feel the hits from their sovereign debt (oftentimes, trying to restructure it with creditors like China). https://preview.redd.it/u0ig0dyj0ipa1.png?width=2458&format=png&auto=webp&s=e4fe48b8de16b139f03e31199c01db36174b5173 Even further, now that Credit Suisse has gone under. We may have another thing to worry about: what banks and prime brokers are housing these opaque sovereign debt structures, loans, and swaps? Even worse, what happens when they go under? Roll that less than beautiful bean footage: https://preview.redd.it/6phyguxk0ipa1.png?width=1134&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba4a2a46b568db8e13f2c0ab2cd8223af036df47 https://www.livemint.com/news/world/before-collapse-credit-suisse-quietly-conquered-an-obscure-debt-market-11679395660932.html “Before collapse, Credit Suisse quietly conquered an obscure debt market Credit Suisse was the sole structurer and arranger of the world’s largest debt-for-nature swap, a $364 million deal that it orchestrated in 2021 along with The Nature Conservancy, a charity, for Belize. Last year, it sealed another $150 million deal for Barbados. Credit Suisse has in recent years helped revive interest in the instruments and for the first time opened them up to institutional capital. The bank raised money for Belize and Barbados from pension funds including Sweden’s Alecta and Nuveen LLC, a unit of the US’s TIAA, by issuing so-called blue bonds tied to the deals. https://preview.redd.it/yxrf9sol0ipa1.png?width=734&format=png&auto=webp&s=2acd065b4e1488ae397fd201771b93b5b4df76b0 he convoluted setup has drawn criticism from sovereign debt experts for its high cost and lack of transparency. And the opaque terms of the Belize and Barbados deals — the first of their kind — mean outside analysts will struggle to assess precisely what comes next. A lot of poorer, especially emerging market countries were already in dire straits. Now as opaque deals meant to help these countries might not come to light (are these some of the Level 3 assets that UBS was talking about?), we can ask ourselves wtf will happen when the same banks looking to save their own ass while holding these sovereign, are the same fuckers that sit on the same board that can decide when they are worthless (while I’m sure being positioned net short). All in all, these banks and holders of sovereign debt credit default swaps, who decide when a country goes boom, are sitting arm in arm alongside Citadel, who themselves potentially hover their greasy mayo-covered finger over the button that decides just when and how the US stock market will eventually implode. 13. Everything Everywhere All at Onceapes stay zen, but that doesn't mean that this blast radius will dig deeper than we expected To recap, we then have Citadel with (1) the biggest market maker and arguably one of the most influential hedge fund able to decide which stocks rise and which fall as the US stock market teeters on the brink of collapse… …with having (2) three of its ex-employees in charge of (not even counting other Citadel employees working there) operating at Headlands ready to help position themselves when the municipal bond market gets nuked, whether as a continued result of regional bank failure or in spite of it… …while (3) sitting on the board that determines when ENTIRE COUNTRIES FAIL, in such a way that their hedge fund and associated pals can be ready to short and profit off failing nations that they and their fuckstick friends help cause. Did I miss anything? Because remember, Citadel is not just Citadel, the market-maker that we all love to hate; Citadel’s sphere of influence via the Big 3 means the grip that it holds over the US and world economy is even greater than we think…and as such, far far more dangerous.

2023.03.23 14:36 Watershed511 VP of Legal at Exro Participating in Upcoming Webinar
Webinar: Raising the Profile of IP within Your Company
https://ipwatchdog.com/anaqua-april-6-2023/In-house IP attorneys need to explain the importance a sound, thoughtful intellectual property strategy plays in the long-term strategic development of the company. This role is even more important now as corporations across the spectrum of innovation seek cost-savings and engage in budget cutting. But how should the strategic vision be conveyed so those in the C-suite with financial and decision-making authority who are not steeped in intellectual property practices can best understand?
Join us on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at 11 AM ET, for a conversation about how IP leaders can and should discuss their efforts to decision-makers in the C-suite and on the Board of Directors. Our conversation will focus on how best to engage company teams and senior management on the importance of intellectual property protection as a driver of value and not as a cost center for the company. Learn about their successes and failures, training and reporting methods, and best practices for communicating about innovation and intellectual property protections.
This panel will be moderated by Gene Quinn, President & CEO of IPWatchdog, Inc. Gene will be joined by Christof Wolpert, Vice President Global Legal Innovation, adidas, Raymond Millien, VP of Legal at Exro Technologies Inc., and Vincent Brault, Senior Vice President of Product & Innovation at Anaqua.
In addition to answering as many questions as possible, the panel will discuss:
- Expanding the perception of IP beyond legal protection
- Forging a strong partnership with R&D teams
- Cultivate senior IP champions in the C-Suite and on the Board
- Explaining why IP drives value (and revenue) and is not merely a cost center
- Creating awareness of competitive IP positioning relative to competitors and market opportunity.

One McGrift, Over Easy
There’s still no movement on the multiple-indictment front facing disgraced former president Donald Trump, and in the words of Carrie Bradshaw, I couldn’t help but wonder…did ole’ Donny wriggle his way out of legal accountability again?- Communications dating back five years between adult film actress Stormy Daniels and one of Trump’s current attorneys, Joe Tacopina, have been turned over to the Manhattan district attorney’s office. In 2018, Daniels was seeking representation and spoke with Tacopina and others at his firm, including about details related to her allegations against Trump, according to her current attorney. If Daniels disclosed confidential information pertaining to her case to Tacopina while vetting him to be her prospective lawyer, that could prohibit him from representing Trump in this case altogether.
- Tacopina denies that there is a conflict of interest, and further says he never met with or spoke to Daniels, but the fact that she has already turned their communications over to the DA suggests that there is, in fact, something there. Trump hasn’t even been indicted, and already his legal team looks unprepared and disorganized.
- The grand jury presiding over the hush-money case was told by prosecutors not to come in on Wednesday, dashing our collective anticipation that Trump may be indicted today. But the district attorney reportedly plans to convene the grand jury again on Thursday, at least according to some reports. A longer pause in the grand jury’s activity would likely delay the vote and possible indictment into next week at the earliest.
- A federal appeals court ruled that one of Trump’s other lawyers in the “allegedly” (wink) stolen documents case, Evan Corcoran, must provide evidence to prosecutors in the form of notes, transcripts, etc. related to the case that would ordinarily be protected by attorney-client privilege, because Trump may have used Corcoran’s legal services to facilitate obstruction of justice. Wow! Always one to diversify his grift portfolio, Trump raised $1.5 million in contributions after he announced on Truth Social that he expected to be indicted on Tuesday.
- One thing Trump doesn’t seem to have going for him this time around, however, is his usual hordes of frothing supporters ready to commit violence on his behalf. Even the far-right chuds who showed up in droves on January 6 have been reluctant to meet the former president’s calls for mass protests. (Strange what happens when you tell people to riot, they riot, they all go to jail, and you walk away.) The alt-right message boards have been buzzing with theories that protests might be “traps” set by federal law enforcement, and even apart from that, there seems to be little appetite for organized pro-Trump action. A demonstration on Monday organized by the New York Young Repubican Club outside of the Manhattan court where Trump’s arraignment would take place if indicted drew less than 50 people, and anti-Trump counter-protesters far outnumbered them.
Under The Radar
Last year, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) unveiled a new unit of election police to harass voters and election workers in the name of “election integrity.” But the first string of cases brought by prosecutors related to supposed election fraud disproportionately flopped, because, well, election fraud is mostly nonexistent according to countless studies and all available data, no matter how many times Republicans try to fearmonger with it, and so the charges were ginned up. (Perhaps Donald Trump can add this to his rolling, scathing critique of DeSantis’s record?) Now, a new law in the Sunshine State allows prosecutors to pursue more election-related cases, an overt attempt to sidestep judicial scrutiny of sham voter prosecutions. What’s more, other red states are following in DeSantis’s footsteps at an alarming rate. Lawmakers in 20 states have introduced at least 57 bills targeting elections, and four Republican-led states are working to add new police agencies with the specific purpose of targeting “voter fraud.” Making the same false claim over and over again doesn’t make it true, you freaks!What Else?
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates one-quarter of a percentage point today, and Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that increases should be nearing an end.Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and his administration are moving to expand Florida’s infuriating “Don’t Say Gay” law to all school grades, in what is no doubt a sick bid for attention as he continues his shadow presidential campaign.

What In The World?
Lawmakers in Uganda passed some of the world’s most punitive anti-gay legislation on Tuesday. The new laws, which make some crimes punishable by death and others subject to up to life imprisonment, is evidence of a further crackdown on LGBTQ+ people in the country, where same-sex relations were already illegal. Merely identifying as LGBTQ+ would subject Ugandans to up to 20 years in prison. The laws target other activities as well, including a ban on “promoting and abetting homosexuality” and “conspiracy to engage in homosexuality.” The bill also defines a charge of “aggravated homosexuality” as a confusingly broad term encompassing non-consensual sex acts against children, blood relatives, or people with disabilities. (Pretty sure the term they were looking for is just…“rape”?) LGBT advocates say that the law could lead to mass arrests of queer people and mob violence against them, which could also lead to an epidemic of suicides. Human-rights groups have roundly condemned the legislation and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the laws, “would undermine fundamental human rights of all Ugandans and could reverse gains in the fight against HIV/AIDS.”What A Sponsor

2023.03.23 02:01 Sportawhorus Lateral to Big Law Tax outside of big 4?
Throwaway in order to avoid doxxing myself.
Hey guys, I’m in a bit of a crisis right now. I know there are plenty of examples in here of people lateraling to big law tax from a big 4 public accounting firm. However, is it possible to lateral from outside the big 4 (Grant Thornton)?
I’m currently a senior JD tax associate and I do m&a and international tax law. It’s been roughly 2.5 years, and I do like my job, but as others have previously stated, I do not feel like a lawyer at a PA firm. For example, delegating memos to non-JD tax associates makes no sense to me, considering all the errors I have to fix. My firm has stated that they are aggressively hiring JD tax associates for my team this fall, so I'm sure that will help a little bit. Anyway, I'm definitely working big law hours for 110k a year with a 5-20k annual bonus. The hours aren't an issue, but I'd feel much better if I were paid more and felt more like a lawyer.
With that, I really want to lateral. Although I am licensed, I do not have a tax law LLM. However, I now have experience and booked my tax classes in law school. Any suggestions? Do big law firm recruiting companies actually work? Do I need to go big 4 for a couple years and then lateral?
Thanks in advance for reading and for any advice you have for me.

2023.03.22 23:26 CasusBellum Ivy Day Results + End of March Results from 2 yrs ago~
Hey all, as Ivy Day comes around and some selective colleges are releasing apps, I thought I'd put my results out from a couple years ago (post-pandemic year) since I never ended posting them. Hope some people will find it interesting - I tried to make it as detailed as possible~
Demographics
Academics
List the highest scores earned and all scores that were reported.
List all extracurricular involvements, including leadership roles, time commitments, major achievements, etc.
Awards/Honors
List all awards and honors submitted on your application.
I won't numerically rate my LoRs because... just how would I do that?
Entrepreneurship Mentor (CEO): Had a very strong relationship with him, he provided and advanced a lot of my extracurricular opportunities and he was from the entrepreneurship incubator (gave me a scholarship to attend). He wrote letters for a few other students a year above me at the incubator and they were admitted to Harvard, JHU, Purdue, NYU Stern. Those other students say I was his favorite.
AP Phys Teacher: Well enough, I've known him for 4 years and he's well aware of my entrepreneurial activities and podcasting (actually had him on the podcast once). Generally on amicable terms, been good and ambitious student.
APUSH Teacher: Only takes 10 LOR requests a year, I requested mine a year in advance. Very good terms, probably one of best students in our APUSH class. Had out of class conversations that espoused my personality. Aware of my writing and my authorship.
Peer (for Darty): Co-founder in firm, went through a lot together at entrepreneurship incubator and later reconnected as mentors in same incubator. Read it myself and its quite professional for a peer rec.
Interviews
UPenn: Not great, really didn't click. She was a doctor who was really questioning my want to go to big city Philly and asked me verbatim what I did for fun again (after my initial response of fall into Wikipedia rabbit holes and podcast) with a straight face. Never making that mistake again.
Duke: Pretty good, was able to make them laugh at end, had an engaging conversation about Duke entrepreneurship and leadership programs.
Princeton: Recent grad who was probably the best so far, she described me as a "gift to the world" (flattered) and she said she was impressed by my responses compared to other applicants. She said to update her on my decision in April.
Harvard: Would say it was good. Really stoic guy who was in President Clinton's cabinet, had an engaging conversation about journalism and the new media forces (Vox, ProPublica) and my ambition to do the same. Ended with a bit about him talking about imposter syndrome as his biggest dislike with his Harvard experience.
Stanford: Short (~40 min) where halfway through interview I became the interviewer. Talked a lot about her daughter who was a Stanford senior and the easily accessible small research grants. Apparently she welcomes the ~60-70 Stanford admitted students every year with a reception at her home.
Dartmouth: Really down to earth conversation with a guy, standard interview questions, he still sends me material and updates from Dartmouth here and there now based on things I said in our interview (like swim team changes, pitching opportunities). I also update him in April.
MIT: Fairly standard interview. Nothing really to note here, talked about my journalism and my view on media for the most part.
Essays
After being rejected by Penn, I think I went through maybe like 15 CA drafts in total but only the last two mattered. I applied to half my colleges with one CA draft (that I thought showed how I thought, albeit maybe not as personal as I wanted it). I ended up applying to all the colleges with deadlines 1/3/20 and after using my Harvard supp as my CA since a friend and a college counselor both read it, suggested no changes, and said it was my best work. All sups went through 2-4 drafts and were reviewed by either my friend or college counselor. I had half of them coming into Winter break then I crammed out the rest during break. I'm proud of my CA essays and most of my sups and have realized throughout all my revising and editing, that I lost a great deal of my own voice in the essays that I initially sent to Penn. Which is why I resolved to keep editing minimal and my original voice a priority in my later essays (and rewrote my CA).
Decisions (indicate ED/EA/REA/SCEA/RD)
Acceptances:
In March, I was selected for a 12-person cohort in a career development program following my entrepreneurial activities where I was selected to participate in funded projects ranging from Harvard case studies and startups. This was discontinued owing to the COVID pandemic but will be resuming the latter half of my senior year.
I was interviewed by major news networks (November 2020) about the launch of the entrepreneurial incubator clubs chapters in the midst of COVID-19, interview expected to be in outlets like USNews and the like in February (Hopefully in time for RD)
I was invited to join the student council of a social science research program for high school students around the world, hosted by the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) on the basis of my journalism and the entrepreneurship incubator clubs program. This just began this February and am currently meeting with the director.
Final words:
I made a lot of mistakes back then but I won't deny I was and am happy with how I handled the college app process back then. Happy to answer any Qs - I chose Cornell at the end of the day and am now heavily involved the entrepreneurship/VC scene in uni.
Edit: Much of this was written in present tense in March 2021 FYI~

I won't numerically rate my LoRs because... just how would I do that?
Entrepreneurship Mentor (CEO): Had a very strong relationship with him, he provided and advanced a lot of my extracurricular opportunities and he was from the entrepreneurship incubator (gave me a scholarship to attend). He wrote letters for a few other students a year above me at the incubator and they were admitted to Harvard, JHU, Purdue, NYU Stern. Those other students say I was his favorite.
AP Phys Teacher: Well enough, I've known him for 4 years and he's well aware of my entrepreneurial activities and podcasting (actually had him on the podcast once). Generally on amicable terms, been good and ambitious student.
APUSH Teacher: Only takes 10 LOR requests a year, I requested mine a year in advance. Very good terms, probably one of best students in our APUSH class. Had out of class conversations that espoused my personality. Aware of my writing and my authorship.
Peer (for Darty): Co-founder in firm, went through a lot together at entrepreneurship incubator and later reconnected as mentors in same incubator. Read it myself and its quite professional for a peer rec.
Interviews
UPenn: Not great, really didn't click. She was a doctor who was really questioning my want to go to big city Philly and asked me verbatim what I did for fun again (after my initial response of fall into Wikipedia rabbit holes and podcast) with a straight face. Never making that mistake again.
Duke: Pretty good, was able to make them laugh at end, had an engaging conversation about Duke entrepreneurship and leadership programs.
Princeton: Recent grad who was probably the best so far, she described me as a "gift to the world" (flattered) and she said she was impressed by my responses compared to other applicants. She said to update her on my decision in April.
Harvard: Would say it was good. Really stoic guy who was in President Clinton's cabinet, had an engaging conversation about journalism and the new media forces (Vox, ProPublica) and my ambition to do the same. Ended with a bit about him talking about imposter syndrome as his biggest dislike with his Harvard experience.
Stanford: Short (~40 min) where halfway through interview I became the interviewer. Talked a lot about her daughter who was a Stanford senior and the easily accessible small research grants. Apparently she welcomes the ~60-70 Stanford admitted students every year with a reception at her home.
Dartmouth: Really down to earth conversation with a guy, standard interview questions, he still sends me material and updates from Dartmouth here and there now based on things I said in our interview (like swim team changes, pitching opportunities). I also update him in April.
MIT: Fairly standard interview. Nothing really to note here, talked about my journalism and my view on media for the most part.
Essays
After being rejected by Penn, I think I went through maybe like 15 CA drafts in total but only the last two mattered. I applied to half my colleges with one CA draft (that I thought showed how I thought, albeit maybe not as personal as I wanted it). I ended up applying to all the colleges with deadlines 1/3/20 and after using my Harvard supp as my CA since a friend and a college counselor both read it, suggested no changes, and said it was my best work. All sups went through 2-4 drafts and were reviewed by either my friend or college counselor. I had half of them coming into Winter break then I crammed out the rest during break. I'm proud of my CA essays and most of my sups and have realized throughout all my revising and editing, that I lost a great deal of my own voice in the essays that I initially sent to Penn. Which is why I resolved to keep editing minimal and my original voice a priority in my later essays (and rewrote my CA).
Decisions (indicate ED/EA/REA/SCEA/RD)
Acceptances:
- USC Merit (Presidential) - Marshall
- UCLA (Regents Invite) Biz Econ
- UCI Honors

In March, I was selected for a 12-person cohort in a career development program following my entrepreneurial activities where I was selected to participate in funded projects ranging from Harvard case studies and startups. This was discontinued owing to the COVID pandemic but will be resuming the latter half of my senior year.
I was interviewed by major news networks (November 2020) about the launch of the entrepreneurial incubator clubs chapters in the midst of COVID-19, interview expected to be in outlets like USNews and the like in February (Hopefully in time for RD)
I was invited to join the student council of a social science research program for high school students around the world, hosted by the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) on the basis of my journalism and the entrepreneurship incubator clubs program. This just began this February and am currently meeting with the director.
Final words:
I made a lot of mistakes back then but I won't deny I was and am happy with how I handled the college app process back then. Happy to answer any Qs - I chose Cornell at the end of the day and am now heavily involved the entrepreneurship/VC scene in uni.
Edit: Much of this was written in present tense in March 2021 FYI~
2023.03.22 14:42 SnooRevelations7316 HOA Dispute- Roof needs to be replaced. HOA wants one unit owner to pay full cost to remove and reinstall serviceable deck on top of roof. Who pays?
Jurisdiction: Philadelphia, PA
Entity: HOA/Condo Assn. comprised of six owners, myself included. One person owns two of the six units.
Key question: Roof needs to be replaced and there is a deck on the roof that is well maintained and serviceable? HOA says that the unit owner is responsible for all costs associated with the deck removal/repayment and unit owner says the deck is a “limited common element” per the HOA bylaws. Who pays?
Situation: A leaky roof needs to be repaired. A roof deck needs to be removed and replaced to fix the roof. The HOA bylaws have some conflicting language that could be interpreted a couple different ways.
Bylaws: Very old doc that’s been scanned several times. Some key language:
Section 2.7 Decks There are three (3) private decks which are accessible from certain Units and are allocated to the use of the Owners of those Units as Limited Common Elements.
Section 1.10 Common Expenses’ means and includes the actual and estimated expenses incurred by the Association from time to time for the general benefit of all Unit Owners, including but not limited to the actual and estimated costs and expenses of (i) operating the Association; (ii) obtaining insurance coverages required or permitted herunder; (iii) maintaining, operating and repairing the Common Elements and the Limited Common Elements, and the establishment of reserves for future costs of maintenance, repair or replacement of any of the Common Elements or Limited Common Elements, and the establishment of reserves for future costs of maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Common Elements and Limited Common Elements. (iv) promoting the community and interest of the owners as they relate to the community (v) settling or satisfying any claim made by any person against the association and (vi) all other costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred or to be incurred by the association in carrying out its rights, duties, and privilege pursuant to this declaration and the bylaws. It is the discretion of the association and I’m accordance with this declaration and act, common expenses may be designated as “general” (benefitting all unit owners) or “limited” (benefiting fewer than all unit owners).
Section 1.6 This Declaration shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Question: Can the HOA force the unit owner with the deck to pay the full cost to remove and reinstall the deck so the roof can be replaced?

Post# of 579251 GoSUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: On 3/20/23, NWBO received the MHRA's MIA certificate. This provides authorization that DC VAX L can be made at the Company's Sawston (UK-Cambridgeshire) manufacturing facility for patient use in the U.K.and globally.In effect, the MHRA has made DC VAX L fully commercial on a global basis; this, all before formal approval to do so . AVC expects the MAA (formal approval of DC VAX L as a drug to be given to GBM and other solid tumor cancer patients) to be filed about 4/5/23 , and approved 45 days later. NICE patient cost coverage for the U.K. would then come 60 days later. FDA approval we estimate to come before yearend '23.
Prior to formal final RA commercial sale approvals, DC VAX L would be sold on a compassionate use basis with the cost ( $200,000) born by the patient. There are 50,000 new GBM cases , and 1.5 million new solid tumor cancer cases annually .Of these , AVC estimates 4% can afford to self pay.These 6,200 possible patients for Sawston are within the Sawston facility's 12,000 annual dosage capacity.
AVC believes the commercial ramp implications deriving from NWBO's 3/20/23 MIA approval are generally not understood.
1) Post# 578985 of 579013 Gregory Zivic, MD u/metacollectiveG $NWBO People don’t understand the weight of what just occurred. As a Physician I can now send a patient’s frozen tumor to Sawston as well as a Leukapheresis. A “treating Physician” in the UK signs off for the Specials Program. the patient’s vaccine dose shipped to me, I inject it 1:38 PM · Mar 21, 2023
NWBO 3/20/23 PR: "Under this commercial manufacturing license(MIA), cell therapy products manufactured in the Sawston facility may be exported globally. Products (e.g., immune cells) may also be imported into the U.K. for production or release of cell therapy products under the facility's licenses.
Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio, commented, "We are very excited to reach this major milestone, as it is an essential step towards submission of our application for regulatory approval of our lead product, DCVax®-L. It is especially exciting to be able to operate globally from this base in the U.K."
Dr. Mike Scott, President of Advent BioServices, commented, "It is always challenging to be one of the trailblazers. The field of personalised cell-based immunotherapy is rapidly evolving and we are collectively navigating our way through the regulatory landscape. We are therefore thrilled that the extensive preparatory work undertaken by our skilled and dedicated team has met the extremely high standards set for this commercial level of manufacturing license."
2)Gregory Zivic, MD u/metacollectiveG Replying to u/hoffmann6383 I believe the recent MIA has a special license of some sort that allows import to the US; at least this is the case under the Specials Program right now since the MIA. NWBO would not have mentioned specifically global export capability if import not allowed on the other side 2:31 PM · Mar 21, 2023
3)The MIA license allows for global export of the vaccines and global import of immune cells/tumor resected material. Anyone in the entire world that is diagnosed with GBM can NOW ship their tumor samples to Northwest/Advent/Sawston to have their personal vaccine made and stored, all to be shipped back to the patient/doctor on a prescribed injection schedule. The beauty of this process is that patients everywhere can NOW receive their vaccine on a compassionate care basis. https://twitter.com/alphavestcap/status/1638149821004406786

One of the First UK Licenses for Commercial Manufacturing of Cell Therapy Products;
Allows Global Delivery of the Products
BETHESDA, Md., March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Biotherapeutics (OTCQB: NWBO) ("NW Bio"), a biotechnology company developing DCVax® personalized immune therapies for solid tumor cancers, and Advent BioServices, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) based in the UK, jointly announce that a MIA license has been approved and issued by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for commercial manufacturing of cell therapy products at the GMP facility in Sawston, U.K.
This MIA is one of the first licenses for commercial manufacturing of cell therapy products in the U.K. To the companies' knowledge, there are only two other such licenses, one of which was just granted as well.
This license is the culmination of more than 3 years' work, including development of the facility, the teams of specialized personnel, the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and systems, well over 1,650 regulatory documents, and a successful operating history under the initial manufacturing licenses previously obtained to produce cell therapies in the Sawston facility for clinical trials and compassionate use. All of this work was carried out by Advent BioServices under contract with NW Bio.
Under this commercial manufacturing license, cell therapy products manufactured in the Sawston facility may be exported globally. Products (e.g., immune cells) may also be imported into the U.K. for production or release of cell therapy products under the facility's licenses.
Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio, commented, "We are very excited to reach this major milestone, as it is an essential step towards submission of our application for regulatory approval of our lead product, DCVax®-L. It is especially exciting to be able to operate globally from this base in the U.K."

About Northwest Biotherapeutics
Northwest Biotherapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing personalized immunotherapy products designed to treat cancers more effectively than current treatments, without toxicities of the kind associated with chemotherapies, and on a cost-effective basis, in both North America and Europe. The Company has a broad platform technology for DCVax® dendritic cell-based vaccines. The Company's lead program is a 331-patient Phase III trial of DCVax®-L for newly diagnosed Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). GBM is the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer, and is an "orphan disease." This Phase III trial has been completed, and the results have been presented in scientific meetings and published in JAMA Oncology. The Company has also developed DCVax®-Direct for inoperable solid tumor cancers. It has completed a 40-patient Phase I trial and, as resources permit, plans to pursue Phase II trials. The Company previously conducted a Phase I/II trial with DCVax-L for advanced ovarian cancer together with the University of Pennsylvania.
About Advent BioServices
Advent BioServices is a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) based in Sawston, U.K. The Company operates the 88,000 square foot GMP facility in Sawston, which includes a large, HTA licensed, cryostorage facility capable of storing several million vials of tissues and cells, and includes capabilities for all stages of cell therapy development and production. During the past three-plus years, the Company has recruited staff members with a wide spectrum of specialist skills in the cell therapy space. The Process Development and QC teams provide significant expertise in complex assay development, GMP manufacturing, product release and GMP-related monitoring which has underpinned the work leading to MHRA licensing for commercial manufacturing, as well as the prior licenses for manufacturing for clinical trials and compassionate use (Specials).

Re: hoffmann6383 post# 578889 Tuesday, March 21, 2023 1:55:12 PM Post# of 579111 Go People, People, People!!! It's your friendly "hillbilly" here with some more great news!! Don't know if I can "one up" my earlier post about the "Dog eating the license", but I'll try. So here we go!!
I don't think everyone realizes how dynamic and important the manufacturing license really is so I'll take a shot at giving you my take on it. First of all, the marketing approval (MAA) and the government subsidy approval(NICE) are pretty much in the bag before the manufacturing team gets the "green light" to proceed. The MAA and NICE teams talk to the MIA team and say," This stuff looks really cool and we wanted to let you know before you run off and do a lot of work on something that we won't approve when you're finished!!" Okay! So that's the first part.
Now for the second part and this is the part that involves a lot of money so read very carefully!!! The MIA license allows for global export of the vaccines and global import of immune cells/tumor resected material. Anyone in the entire world that is diagnosed with GBM can NOW ship their tumor samples to Northwest/Advent/Sawston to have their personal vaccine made and stored, all to be shipped back to the patient/doctor on a prescribed injection schedule. The beauty of this process is that patients everywhere can NOW receive their vaccine on a compassionate care basis. No more waiting!! No more opportunities for the "dark forces" to delay or deny suffering cancer patients their desperately needed treatments !!!
People, as of yesterday, Northwest is now IN BUSINESS !!!! AND that opens the door for institutional investors and an uplist to the New York or Nasdaq exchanges!!!!
All of the above is as good as that first sip of ice cold buttermilk on a hot summer day!!!! AND for those unfortunate shorts and haters it adds a whole new description to the letters FTD and I'll let you guess what that might be!!!
Cheers,
BB
MISCELLANEOUS SPECULATIONS ON WHAT'SNEXT:
Since today's MIA manufacturing certificate puts NWBO on the road to commercial approval in the U.K by 8/1/23, and in the U.S. by 12/31/23 , let's list what might be in an S-1 to get institutional ownership up from the current zero. None of these top biotech funds have any ownership of NWBO.( https://www.fiercebiotech.com/special-report/top-7-life-sciences-public-investors). By '29, FCF should be $3.5 billion from $ 4 billion in revenues.
Therefore, let's speculate on what could be in the S-1:
1) MAA filing by 4/1/23.
2) NICE commitment letter for patient cost coverage by 6/1/23.
3) Full U.K. commercial approval by 8/1/23.
4) Full FDA approval by 12/31/23.
5) Stock priced at $4.00 .
6) 250 million shares for 5 institutions.250 million shares for retail.$ 2 billion in proceeds.
7) New COO announced.
8) Announced CRL global manufacturing agreement.
9) Uplist to NYSE when the S-1 goes effective.
10) Major bracket firm investment banker on board.
11) Absent the short side activities of the past 10- year , DC VAX L could have come to market 5 years ago. 3 million cancer deaths have occurred during the last 5 years. DC VAX L could gave prevented 5%, or 150,000 . At a damage award of $ 5 million per patient , the total damage award is $750 billion. Settlement: Citadel et al pay $ 5 billion to NWBO; $ 5 billion to cancer research.
12) As to criminal charges (murder 1), federal agencies sue Citadel et al principals .Since they are bankrupted by the civil suit settlement , the penalty becomes 10 years in jail.
13) https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66579590/northwest-biotherapeutics-inc-v-canaccord-genuity-llc/ One legal expert said, " Nwbo's spoofing lawsuit has perhaps the best proof the FEDS have ever seen. See page 69 and onward. " Therefore , it's doubtful the FEDS not go ahead with criminal allegations.
14) The MIA award today validates NWBO's cancer life saving capabilities. U.K. final commercial approval will accelerate other RAs to do the same.

Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio, commented, "We are very excited to reach this major milestone, as it is an essential step towards submission of our application for regulatory approval of our lead product, DCVax®-L. It is especially exciting to be able to operate globally from this base in the U.K."
Dr. Mike Scott, President of Advent BioServices, commented, "It is always challenging to be one of the trailblazers. The field of personalised cell-based immunotherapy is rapidly evolving and we are collectively navigating our way through the regulatory landscape. We are therefore thrilled that the extensive preparatory work undertaken by our skilled and dedicated team has met the extremely high standards set for this commercial level of manufacturing license."

Re: hoffmann6383 post# 578889 Tuesday, March 21, 2023 1:55:12 PM Post# of 579111 Go People, People, People!!! It's your friendly "hillbilly" here with some more great news!! Don't know if I can "one up" my earlier post about the "Dog eating the license", but I'll try. So here we go!!
I don't think everyone realizes how dynamic and important the manufacturing license really is so I'll take a shot at giving you my take on it. First of all, the marketing approval (MAA) and the government subsidy approval(NICE) are pretty much in the bag before the manufacturing team gets the "green light" to proceed. The MAA and NICE teams talk to the MIA team and say," This stuff looks really cool and we wanted to let you know before you run off and do a lot of work on something that we won't approve when you're finished!!" Okay! So that's the first part.
Now for the second part and this is the part that involves a lot of money so read very carefully!!! The MIA license allows for global export of the vaccines and global import of immune cells/tumor resected material. Anyone in the entire world that is diagnosed with GBM can NOW ship their tumor samples to Northwest/Advent/Sawston to have their personal vaccine made and stored, all to be shipped back to the patient/doctor on a prescribed injection schedule. The beauty of this process is that patients everywhere can NOW receive their vaccine on a compassionate care basis. No more waiting!! No more opportunities for the "dark forces" to delay or deny suffering cancer patients their desperately needed treatments !!!
People, as of yesterday, Northwest is now IN BUSINESS !!!! AND that opens the door for institutional investors and an uplist to the New York or Nasdaq exchanges!!!!
All of the above is as good as that first sip of ice cold buttermilk on a hot summer day!!!! AND for those unfortunate shorts and haters it adds a whole new description to the letters FTD and I'll let you guess what that might be!!!
Cheers,
BB
MISCELLANEOUS SPECULATIONS ON WHAT'SNEXT:
Since today's MIA manufacturing certificate puts NWBO on the road to commercial approval in the U.K by 8/1/23, and in the U.S. by 12/31/23 , let's list what might be in an S-1 to get institutional ownership up from the current zero. None of these top biotech funds have any ownership of NWBO.( https://www.fiercebiotech.com/special-report/top-7-life-sciences-public-investors). By '29, FCF should be $3.5 billion from $ 4 billion in revenues.
Therefore, let's speculate on what could be in the S-1:
1) MAA filing by 4/1/23.
2) NICE commitment letter for patient cost coverage by 6/1/23.
3) Full U.K. commercial approval by 8/1/23.
4) Full FDA approval by 12/31/23.
5) Stock priced at $4.00 .
6) 250 million shares for 5 institutions.250 million shares for retail.$ 2 billion in proceeds.
7) New COO announced.
8) Announced CRL global manufacturing agreement.
9) Uplist to NYSE when the S-1 goes effective.
10) Major bracket firm investment banker on board.
11) Absent the short side activities of the past 10- year , DC VAX L could have come to market 5 years ago. 3 million cancer deaths have occurred during the last 5 years. DC VAX L could gave prevented 5%, or 150,000 . At a damage award of $ 5 million per patient , the total damage award is $750 billion. Settlement: Citadel et al pay $ 5 billion to NWBO; $ 5 billion to cancer research.
12) As to criminal charges (murder 1), federal agencies sue Citadel et al principals .Since they are bankrupted by the civil suit settlement , the penalty becomes 10 years in jail.
13) https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66579590/northwest-biotherapeutics-inc-v-canaccord-genuity-llc/ One legal expert said, " Nwbo's spoofing lawsuit has perhaps the best proof the FEDS have ever seen. See page 69 and onward. " Therefore , it's doubtful the FEDS not go ahead with criminal allegations.
14) The MIA award today validates NWBO's cancer life saving capabilities. U.K. final commercial approval will accelerate other RAs to do the same.

2023.03.21 21:23 throwawaylurker012 Everything Everywhere All At Once: The Citadel Big 3 and how Citadel’s sphere of influence has its fingers stuck not just in the stock market, but the municipal/bond market and sovereign debt/sovereign debt credit default swaps to dangerous degree
| | btw yall taking ya'll advice and reposting this now, ty for the reads and upvotes!TL;DR: Citadel doesn't just have a major outsized influence in the US stock market via its market making firm/hedge fund, but also a major indirect influence via Headlands (biggest municipal bond trading firm made of 3 ex-Citadel employees), and direct influence on sovereign debt (can decide when sovereign credit default swaps pay out) with its seat on the CDDC (Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee). https://preview.redd.it/ltb4s44yl5pa1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=68fc21cf2ea5bf9f1fcdf49738d7a36e77869ff6 Hi y’all. Been some while since have been able to post regularly here, so I’m returning alongside my recent post on FHLB with a bit of a “DD". Partial rush job, so all errors are mine and mine alone (obviously) 0. Sphere of InfluenceOver the past 84 years (/s), you lovely apes at Superstonk have been able to fish out many of the finer points of corruption crystallized into pure, unadulterated financial terrorism and financial terrorist-level crime undertaken by Steve Cohen (Point 72), Jeff Yass (Susquehanna), Doug Cifu & Vincent Viola (Virtu), as well as Wolverine Trading, Jane Street, TwoSigma, and more. But, of course, much of it has centered on our Mayo-artist-in-residence and his firm, that of none other but Ken Griffin and Citadel. One of the biggest finds that has come to light has been the complete and utter bullshit of having (1) a hedge fund and (2) owning a market making firm that most DEFINITELY does not use that non-public information to its benefit? I mean, it would be easy for us to check except that we need 5 swipes to even access that level of inner sanctum at Citadel, which–per DLauer’s words–is more than the fucking Pentagon. https://preview.redd.it/4fu0w15el5pa1.png?width=606&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c47c25197fb9f5543fcad01a4dc0e30b48ebeac But despite Ken Griffin’s reach into every aspect of the most influential stock market in the world, that is not his ONLY level of his sphere of influence. For we, dear apes, can step back and revisit this idea that Citadel’s power duo (its market making firm and hedge fund) is more like a single part of a Big 3. 1. Meet the Big 3Citadel’s sphere of influence includes not JUST (1) the stock market business, but directly or indirectly, the (2) U.S. municipal and bond markets, plus (3) the sovereign debt/sovereign debt credit default swap markets. Yes, you heard that right. Citadel not only has some sufficient level of influence to tank your favorite stock–and, in turn–retirement fund, but can also effectively drive your city into the fucking ground, or even your country. I’ve written about each of these at length, and wanted to revisit some pieces in the wake of our recent dick twitchings of the coming financial crash. 2. Meet the Municipal Bond MarketCitadel has an indirect grip tickling the taint of the municipal bond market, believe it or not. I first wrote about the municipal bond market here (“Headlands: How ex-Mayo mercenaries copy pasted Citadel’s model in the muni bond market”): https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/sy6ubj/headlands_how_exmayo_mercenaries_copy_pasted/. For those unfamiliar with municipal bonds, I’ll reiterate what they are and why many push them as a safe investment in most times (with some caution being thrown intermittently due to the collapse of regional banks like FRC and Silicon Valley Bank): https://preview.redd.it/e8bqxn3wk5pa1.png?width=1326&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc1e3c44bced207ca23105ae48110eb7298441f1 “Municipal bonds (or "munis" for short) help towns/cities raise money for projects like building schools, parks, and fixing highways. Many retail investors--admittedly, on the wealthier side--invest in munis for tax incentives like not paying federal tax on bond returns. In certain cases, certain muni buys also mean no state taxes are paid…Just like what had happened to stocks, the old-school market for buying and selling muni bonds is going electronic. This is mainly done through an ATS, or "alternative trading system" known also as a dark pool. This speeds up the process of buying and selling munis, making it closer to a "house auction".In the wake of the SVB (Silicon Valley Bank), there have already been rumblings of its effect on the municipal bond market (Bloomberg “Bank Woes Create Bond Bargain in Obscure Corner of Muni Market”): “Investor concerns over the crises within the financial industry are bleeding into a corner of the $4 trillion municipal-bond market where major investment banks guarantee energy for public utilities…. 3. San Jose, Revisited That part about “large institutional banks” acting as facilitators of the transactions is what we saw in part in this post by [redacted]. https://preview.redd.it/5pp1500xi5pa1.png?width=1128&format=png&auto=webp&s=b4f48ce1f6d11fff15d44cc47b2174882e34eb03 A commenter spoke about this, and how it wasn’t Wells Fargo in doo doo but the city of San Jose. “I believe in theses cases it’s not Wells Fargo that has a problem but the city of San José. „Because presentments are currently processed automatically at DTC, IPAs have the option to refuse to pay (“RTP”) for maturing MMI Obligations to protect against the possibility that an IPA may not be able to fund settlement because it has not received funds from the relevant issuer. „ -> Wells Fargo didn’t receive the money from San José city. https://preview.redd.it/nc8lbgwsk5pa1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=35e2c386534eb904608db679a9954affe0338c9a Wells Fargo has no liability or influence on the money that comes from the city and is distributed to the investors. If the money doesn’t come or isn’t sufficient, the assets are sold or liquidated and used to pay investors. In this case, we might be seeing one of the first of MANY issues of cities up shit’s creek over this. 4. The Municipal Bond Market Time BombThe size of the municipal market is A SHIT TON BIGGER than the corporate bond market, which will already show even more signs of being turbo fucked due to borrowing at low interest rates for years. Here’s the size of the municipal bond market for scale, sans banana: https://preview.redd.it/9pcmm2c9j5pa1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=869c0863c6ecc788c29d6dbe37da76521a700d1e Unfortunately, just like retirement funds, many muni investors are “buy and hold”: they buy a muni expecting a safe, long-term return with no federal income tax and then, welp, shit hits the fan. The market is heavily illiquid too, meaning if shit needs to move, then you might be fucked. Only about 1% of municipal securities trade any given day, in auctions that often take HOURS: “Now, the primary method of trading on this doesn't look like the New York Stock Exchange or like Nasdaq. It looks like an auction. It takes about 4 hours. An auction is initiated. Participants who come in can bid on this, and it is a competitive auction that yields a very good price.” Now to my understanding you can’t short these bonds, but the long time frame means its hard to sell these illiquid assets. Not only that, THERE IS NO NATIONAL NBBO (National Best Bid Offer)...you’re flying blind while this shit happens. Now if you’re wondering what magnanimous souls are helping municipal bonds be sold or fixed in a timely manner for cities like San Jose, well have I got news for you. 5. Meet Headlands, U.S. Municipal/Bond Market Making Firm…Run by 3 Ex-Citadel EmployeesTwo months after the sneeze (March 2021), TD Ameritrade bought municipal bond market maker Headlands. Yes, that’s right…an electronic market maker just like Citadel, this time for bonds for cities and towns vs. stocks. Now let’s check the fine fellows that run this: https://preview.redd.it/i1jnj88bj5pa1.png?width=1886&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6ea375e929a247f0b9618fed703ef519561a6a2
Of note, Matthew Andresen founded Island, one of the 1st dark pools EVER and 2nd only to “Instinet” (who also got an even bigger wave of funds during the sneeze, info courtesy of Ringing Bells) and was featured heavily in the Scott Patterson book “Dark Pools”. https://preview.redd.it/ibr2d9xcj5pa1.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea86240da04d87d28dd9561b4afdb13d600de764 Ol Matty told us that Headlands is completely automated, and where some muni traders make 75-100 muni bond sales a day (sometimes over the phone), Headlands currently bids on 10,000+ bond auctions a day with its algo. Matty Boi even said if that number ever 10x’d “we wouldn’t notice.” Even more sus, Headlands has been growing its own “holdings” of muni bonds on its books. 6. In Bros We Trust So remember, this branch of 3 ex-Citadel bros is front and center to the issues already rearing their head. In my previous post, these were just SOME of the already teetering municipal bond issues:
https://preview.redd.it/s8wqbdtej5pa1.png?width=1217&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2ee309462354293b1a4907d0966889bd841089f
7. HurricaneWhat began this rabbit hole was the one and only welp 0 0 7, who caught wind of some fuckery in the municipal bond market: https://preview.redd.it/rsul8xsmj5pa1.png?width=1324&format=png&auto=webp&s=f593d8b9d18e962df50609ba114d0b7093c0cdaf In the post, he mentioned how "American Thinker" 's Joseph Lawler mentioned the SEC has been giving fucking STIFF Heismans nonstop (or per [redacted] the ol' Dustin Martin "don't argues" for you Aussie apes!) on FOIA requests (Freedom of Information Act) related to the municipal bond default in Puerto Rico, the BIGGEST bond default in America's history EVER. https://preview.redd.it/te7m9b5pj5pa1.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=72fccaee202099011c280636e1501bd570544a2c You see, because this level of municipal bond includes fuckery includes not just cities and towns, but U.S. TERRITORIES. In my post about Hurricane Maria’s effect on Puerto Rico, I talked about how UBS and others loaded up Puerto Rico with debt because of what’s called a “Treasury Put” guarantee that was even called “an exit strategy” for banks (“They describe the "treasury put" as "...the implicit guarantee -- as perceived by investors -- from a government agency to provide support in the event of financial distress by the issuer of Puerto Rican bonds."”). Puerto Rico’s default was the largest in US history, EVER. And all this the same while guess who was holding the bag? Let’s see what W S O P tells us: “The reality is that a large percentage of Puerto Rico’s debt is held in tax-free municipal bonds and municipal bond mutual funds, owned not by Wall Street banks or tycoons, but by mom and pop investors seeking tax-free income.” https://preview.redd.it/1a2vz6brj5pa1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=529db6c15522fd84560746523f76bc180207a496 So once again, whether its retirement funds or municipal bonds, its retail caught holding the bag. And this hasn't changed for years. We’ve seen similar fuckery with bonds for NYC in the 70s, and more recently in the 00s for Detroit. One astute wrinkle by the name of [redacted] posted this on that original post trying to dig into how it could all be related: …how the MMLF fund that expanded money/credit to towns/cities started including commercial paper…but also leveraged near the 15 to 1 ratio perhaps under the Net Capital Requirement limit: 8. Don't Bet Against America...Says the Banks and Hedge Funds That Already DidCommercial Paper? Municipals related? Now where does that sound familiar? Ah, yes…the city of San Jose got its call-out by Wells Fargo over COMMERCIAL PAPER. This comes as the push for ppl into municipal bond markets continues, trying to sell it as a “safe haven” to retail investors. Vanguard just recently launched its first ETF–surprise, its first US-listed ETF in 2 years– for municipal bonds (selling point: “hey everyone it’s tax-exempt! Give us money plz!”) for example: https://preview.redd.it/1v8qrfctj5pa1.png?width=1780&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e15ea68094ecdc212a18677fa1966158e362134 Many of us can see all of it for what it is. Bullshit. In the wake of the SVB collapse, there is still a strong push that these regional banks–many of which lend to municipalities–will be fine. This “safe haven” theory continues, even as articles try to have them appeal abroad (such as a few days ago, “ ESG Factors of Munis May Attract Non-US Investors” “https://www.marketsmedia.com/esg-factors-of-munis-may-attract-non-us-investors/”) Even further, one last find is that . I mean it’s not like credit default swaps can be taken on cities and towns in theory right? FWIW also I found an interesting research paper talking about hedge funds buying up credit default swaps, and how they could potentially bankrupt towns/municipalities through some of these moves if they wanted: https://openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.13051/8264/MingJieWangCreditDefaultS.pdf?sequence=2 **** This is all while we have 3 ex-Citadel heads in charge of just how the municipal bond market moves, like that of San Jose. So is this where Citadel’s reach stops? Clearly, no. It doesn’t stop at the US border, just like how Mayo Force One doesn’t. 10. ELI5: What’s a Soverign Credit Default Swap? https://preview.redd.it/x5z73ef9k5pa1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3f0155a2015cecae29d739aca7729e44565566f That’s right, mofos. You read that sub-header right. In case you’re wondering, not only can you take out credit default swaps on a failing Swiss bank like CS, but you can do so ON ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRIES. In one of my old posts “Sovereign Debts & Ransom Notes: Pt. 1 The Importance of Being Non-Linearly Destabilized through Sovereign Credit Default Swaps” (“https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/t35rdi/sovereign_debts_ransom_notes_pt_1_the_importance/”), I talked a little more about the insanity of these things even existing. Sovereign credit default swaps exist. Long story short: sovereign credit default swaps are insurance policies that if a country defaults (usually on its debt)then you get paid! Like many other shit that we’ve seen in the GME saga, they are a form of financial derivative (a bet that something goes up, a bet that something goes down) on an underlying (the thing you’re betting on)....They can be used to insure government debt for a country in case that country is unable to pay its debt, for example. However, just like other instruments, naked sovereign credit default swaps also exist. Naked sovereign credit default swaps are used to bet that a country or a country's debt will fail without you owning that country's debt. In part, they were destabilising during the Euro-crisis immediately after the 2008 financial crash. Greece was one of the countries that got naked shorted in 2008. In fact, the country got shorted so bad they were worried about fucking SHORT SQUEEZES on Greek debt and the sovereign CDSs! There were a tons of perhaps “we will see soon” if relevant additional points in that old research, including:
https://preview.redd.it/6fp1njsck5pa1.png?width=1295&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ea74b772735a79d5aca4b0d41a658231435dd8f
Crazy shit. So you might say, now this post is meant to be about Citadel’s sphere of influence you might say? “Where does Citadel fit into all this? ” 11. Meet the CDDC (Credit Derivatives Determination Committee)...Where Citadel Sit and Helps Decide Which Countries Default on their DebtOne of the biggest GFC 2008 scenarios of sovereign credit default swaps being misused was against Greece. Afterwards, one of its biggest cases of misuse was by Elliot Management (ran by Paul Singer) who was using their position on the Credit Derivatives Determination Committee, or CDDC, to help decide when their sovereign credit default swaps against Argentina would pay out. Wait, Eliot Management doesn’t sound big enough. Who else is on this committee? https://preview.redd.it/gcvfc4shk5pa1.png?width=928&format=png&auto=webp&s=f968f2765e15103295c91bc4dc7ec74836f916a4 Oh wait, so Citadel is ALSO on this committee? Alongside our favorite fucksticks like Chase, Goldman, Deutsche, and BNP? It’s not lost on me with seeing now that Credit Suisse has been sucked up into UBS, maybe its position on the CDDC has been absorbed further by UBS. Back then, I wrote about the fact is we know next to nothing about the sovereign credit default swaps that might be opened up against countries (be it Russia, Sri Lanka, or otherwise): https://preview.redd.it/t3kx1tk2l5pa1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=f829d1a1c14d4df74fe7a2ad7d832d1409662e76 Here's one such example of a swap dealer: Swiss financial terrorist aficionados UBS AG, who registered to be a swaps dealer with the US at the end of 2012. (UBS had also been a member of the CDDC through the Greek crisis in early 2012, alongside Citadel. In Mar. 2012, they were also one of the members pressing to ask whether Greece had defaulted already.) Not only that, but the CDDC even can say when CORPORATE BONDS even shit the bed: late last year, they were the ones who were deciding to let everyone know whether Sunac (an Evergrande-relate company) went tits up. 12. We Say WhenFor months, there has been talk of a looming debt crisis (alongside all the other ones) in the sovereign debt world. And shit continues to hit the proverbial fan. Apart from Russia, Sri Lanka and others, emerging markets like Ghana and Zambia are beginning to feel the hits from their sovereign debt (oftentimes, trying to restructure it with creditors like China). https://preview.redd.it/gd0ocjuyi5pa1.png?width=2458&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb1fe0ade2f3401b2e081f8d0b55ef55cfb95ae2 Even further, now that Credit Suisse has gone under. We may have another thing to worry about: what banks and prime brokers are housing these opaque sovereign debt structures, loans, and swaps? Even worse, what happens when they go under? Roll that less than beautiful bean footage: https://preview.redd.it/wt5v7uu0j5pa1.png?width=1134&format=png&auto=webp&s=df9cf3379be7ce881d7704013f4e6d92e287f08c https://www.livemint.com/news/world/before-collapse-credit-suisse-quietly-conquered-an-obscure-debt-market-11679395660932.html “Before collapse, Credit Suisse quietly conquered an obscure debt market Credit Suisse was the sole structurer and arranger of the world’s largest debt-for-nature swap, a $364 million deal that it orchestrated in 2021 along with The Nature Conservancy, a charity, for Belize. Last year, it sealed another $150 million deal for Barbados. Credit Suisse has in recent years helped revive interest in the instruments and for the first time opened them up to institutional capital. The bank raised money for Belize and Barbados from pension funds including Sweden’s Alecta and Nuveen LLC, a unit of the US’s TIAA, by issuing so-called blue bonds tied to the deals. https://preview.redd.it/ysibqfz5l5pa1.png?width=734&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a1b42cd1d630041b337a008e539facc8781c4d5 he convoluted setup has drawn criticism from sovereign debt experts for its high cost and lack of transparency. And the opaque terms of the Belize and Barbados deals — the first of their kind — mean outside analysts will struggle to assess precisely what comes next. A lot of poorer, especially emerging market countries were already in dire straits. Now as opaque deals meant to help these countries might not come to light (are these some of the Level 3 assets that UBS was talking about?), we can ask ourselves wtf will happen when the same banks looking to save their own ass while holding these sovereign, are the same fuckers that sit on the same board that can decide when they are worthless (while I’m sure being positioned net short). All in all, these banks and holders of sovereign debt credit default swaps, who decide when a country goes boom, are sitting arm in arm alongside Citadel, who themselves potentially hover their greasy mayo-covered finger over the button that decides just when and how the US stock market will eventually implode. 13. Everything Everywhere All at Once To recap, we then have Citadel with (1) the biggest market maker and arguably one of the most influential hedge fund able to decide which stocks rise and which fall as the US stock market teeters on the brink of collapse… …with having (2) three of its ex-employees in charge of (not even counting other Citadel employees working there) operating at Headlands ready to help position themselves when the municipal bond market gets nuked, whether as a continued result of regional bank failure or in spite of it… …while (3) sitting on the board that determines when ENTIRE COUNTRIES FAIL, in such a way that their hedge fund and associated pals can be ready to short and profit off failing nations that they and their fuckstick friends help cause. Did I miss anything? Because remember, Citadel is not just Citadel, the market-maker that we all love to hate; Citadel’s sphere of influence via the Big 3 means the grip that it holds over the US and world economy is even greater than we think…and as such, far far more dangerous. |
