Money & Crypto
- NYT hosted annual Dealbook summit, where SBF was interviewed live for over an hour and said things like “I’ve had a bad month”. It’s surprising that he would agree to talk for that long on air given what’s been happening….Maybe his strategy is to try to endear himself to the public? I honestly am not sure what the upside is here…
- More details emerging about what was happening behind the scenes when FTX first started imploding
- 263k jobs added in November and jobless rate remains low at 3.7%
- Austan Goolsbee, former economic advisor to Obama, named as next President of Chicago Fed. (His class was one of my favorites during the MBA.)
- FinTechs oversaw a high number of fraudulent COVID/PPP loans
- Trouble at crypto firm Genesis? Allegedly some customers say they are owed $1.8B
Etc.
- New York is searching for a rat czar to take care of its growing rat problem
- World Cup pictures so far. It’s been such a fun one to watch so far.
- 🎥 Knives Out: Glass Onion (the sequel to the fantastic original) was also pretty fun
- 📺 The White Lotus season 2 has made me look forward to Sunday evenings. And the reddit thread conspiracy theories have been just as good.
