SBF Claims FTX Was Never Bankrupt, Blames Lawyers for Bogus Filing

Everyone had enjoyed bagels and lox from Zabar’s and was looking through hats, preparing for the frigid temperatures expected on Inauguration Day.
Crypto vs. Massachusetts: Who Will Win the Battle of the Boring Bureaucrats?
Neal Kumar, Polymarket’s chief legal officer (and presumably the person who gets to say “Objection!” in a dramatic courtroom voice), announced that the firm has filed a federal lawsuit. Why? Because apparently, Massachusetts doesn’t know its place. Kumar quipped, “Congress gave the CFTC, not states, exclusive authority over event contracts.

Okay, so I just finished binging the latest Wonder Man episode on Disney+, and wow, it’s officially the shortest Marvel show episode ever.

It’s definitely a quick watch!
