Here’s another citizen detective analyzing the now failed QuadrigaCX cryptocurrency exchange. One guy has already analyzed some Bitcoin addresses and deduced that the exchange seemingly had no cold storage for customers’ assets. Instead, the now-deceased CEO was allegedly using customers’ deposits to cover customer withdrawals, while apparently also using customer funds to trade on other exchanges.
Now someone has analyzed some Ethereum addresses and has concluded that QuadrigaCX probably did have cold storage for ETH, but those wallets were empty. Instead, it appears funds were being moved from other exchanges and, using another service, exchanged for other cryptos like bitcoin and Litecoin. IOW, it looks like QuadrigaCX was running an elaborate shell game, robbing Peter to pay Paul in an effort to satisfy some customers’ withdrawals.

I mean prejudice unfortunately is everywhere. I’m not naive enough to think that only white Americans practice it. But with white Americans as the dominant representative culture and yes “ruling class”- politics, business, the media, etc, that’s why white prejudice is singled out and of course because it’s the most enduring on our country. The colorism that exists in some Hispanic and Asian people is deplorable. No mistake about it. But that hasn’t influenced our overall culture. In fact, I don’t think most white people know what colorism is.
Ironically, Kondo Marie is more famous abroad than in Japan. As my wife says, there’s nothing extraordinary in what she says or does for most Japanese women.

Thank you for describing me in this category, too.
Utah Republicans, continuing the GOP tradition of cheating to win:
Harkening back to the tactics of white-flight segregationists, a Utah state representative has proposed that a heavily white region within Navajo-majority San Juan County secede and form its own county after Navajo-backed candidates for county offices won historic majorities in 2018’s elections. That election outcome was the byproduct of a successful lawsuit that struck down the racially gerrymandered districts for county commission and school board that had enabled candidates backed by the white minority to maintain a stranglehold on local government for decades.
The proponent of this plan, state Rep. Phil Lyman, isn’t just a Republican legislator. He was also a San Juan County commissioner who chose to run for the state legislature in 2018 after his illegally gerrymandered district was struck down. Lyman claims he’s not necessarily in favor of secession and merely thinks it should be debated, but he’s consistently (and baselessly) rejected the court’s ruling striking down the districts as illegitimate.
Normally, splitting an existing county would require supporters to gather signatures from one-quarter of residents in each portion of the proposed division. Voters in both sections of the proposed split would also have to approve the plan in a referendum. However, GOP state Rep. Kim Coleman has introduced a bill to drop the requirement that voters in both sections of the proposed division favor a plan to split the county. If these proposals become law, it could pave the way for white voters like those in San Juan to simply secede and take their tax base with them now that they’ve lost majority control in fair elections to candidates backed by a community of color.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) today announced a settlement with Mark Corbett, a broker of contracts offering high-interest credit to veterans.
…
Under the terms of the consent order, Corbett is permanently banned from brokering, offering, or arranging agreements between veterans and third parties under which the veteran purports to sell a future right to an income stream from the veteran’s pension. Corbett must also pay a civil money penalty of $1, an amount that accounts for Corbett’s inability to pay more based on sworn financial statements that he provided to the Bureau and Corbett’s ongoing cooperation with the Bureau’s investigation.

I bet Beto outdraws him.
So, Trump is complaining about the Whitaker testimony yesterday.
I didn’t watch it all, but have seen many videos of the low/high points.
Did any Democrats display their complete outrage with the Republicans the way Lindsey Graham feigned during the Beer Kavanaugh nomination process?
Donny is getting as dramatic as Lindsey. Also sounding more and more like a tin-pot dictator with his election warnings.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
keep telling yerself that, you moron
We have a great economy DESPITE the Obama Administration and all of its job killing Regulations and Roadblocks. If that thinking prevailed in the 2016 Election, the U.S. would be in a Depression right now! We were heading down, and don’t let the Democrats sound bites fool you!

I really wish people would read just a little bit about Kondo before deciding who she is and how she thinks. She doesn’t try to make everyone’s environment the same. She tries to figure out what brings you joy and get rid of what doesn’t. If things bring you joy you should be able to see them and not have them stored away.

ICE is angry and is deciding to act with spite and vengeance to terrorize American communities. https://t.co/YnpT0fPpSd
— Faiz (@fshakir) February 9, 2019
After North Carolina’s largest counties cut ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency said it’s been forced to adopt a “new normal”: one that resulted in the arrest of hundreds of immigrants living here illegally this week.
“This is the direct conclusion of dangerous policies of not cooperating with ICE,” said Sean Gallagher, who oversees the agency’s operation in the Carolinas and Georgia. “This forces my officers to go out onto the street to conduct more enforcement.”
Since December, newly elected sheriffs in the state’s two most populous counties — Mecklenburg and Wake — have reversed a policy that notifies ICE about the legal status of inmates in county jails. The Durham County Sheriff’s Office also ended the practice of honoring ICE detainers.
These changes, Gallagher said, have given the agency “no choice” but to conduct targeted enforcement across the state this week. “This is politics over public safety at its worst.”
the “you leave me no choice” excuse…

What did ancient Babylonians eat? A Yale-Harvard team tested their recipes. https://t.co/AcYeH3t33g #Archaeology via @CRollston
— Ticia Verveer (@ticiaverveer) February 9, 2019
There are only four remaining ancient Babylonian culinary tablets detailing the world’s oldest known recipes — and they might have remained, unused, forever in a display case in the Yale Babylonian Collection were it not for an invitation to a cooking event at New York University in early May in which teams prepared foods from around the globe and different time periods.
Agnete Lassen, associate curator of the Yale Babylonian Collection, and Chelsea Alene Graham, digital imaging specialist at the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, were part of the team that painstakingly recreated — step by step — three stews from one of the tablets as closely as possible to how they would have been prepared and eaten almost 4,000 years ago.
“Our idea was to revisit the old translations and see where we could improve our understanding of the terminology and approach a better understanding of these recipes,” says Lassen, explaining that the recipes come from the same period and probably from the same place. “They might not have been written by the same person but they relate to the same interest in culinary recipes,” she says.
The event, “An Appetite for the Past,” was hosted by NYU’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World and Department of Nutrition and Food Studies. Seven teams were invited to attend. Some chose to focus on the archaeological or textual aspects of the cuisine they represented, while others created modern interpretations of ancient dishes from ancient China, the Mediterranean, and Roman and medieval times. On the last day of the event, each of the teams presented the fruits of their collaborative research at a tasting symposium, where attendees were invited to sample the various foods that had been prepared.
Sounds like it was a fun event last year.
