Cottrell, who was previously convicted of wire fraud in the United States, has been described by Farage’s team as an unpaid volunteer but often travels with Farage to campaign stops.

A document posted on Sam Bankman-Fried’s X account claims the defunct FTX crypto exchange was never insolvent and that its lawyers’ decision to place it into bankruptcy cost investors $66 billion. The document, which says it was written by Bankman-Fried and his team, argues that the exchange faced only a temporary liquidity crunch that was “on track to be resolved by the end of the month” before outside counsel intervened. It accuses Sullivan & Cromwell and former FTX executives of coordinating to seize control of the company. The document says that lawyers were “heavily incentivized” to push FTX into bankruptcy so they could oversee its assets, a move it says derailed recovery efforts. It added that customers could have been repaid “in full, in kind,” with $111 billion left for investors if the exchange had continued operating. “The lawyers then quickly launched a campaign to blame Bankman-Fried for the bankruptcy they c...

Tether, which has cozied up to president Donald Trump through Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who previously assisted the stablecoin with acquiring US treasury notes, and its CEO Paolo Ardoino who was invited to the presidential residence at least twice, is now helping to tear down the East Wing of the White House.

Also donating is the former senator and CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange, Kelly Loeffler. Tether America makes donation, but how? Despite the fact that Tether America doesn’t have a website, a list of leadership, or any presence online whatsoever, the newly minted Tether sister company is supposedly the one donating to Trump. It was also previously discussed as a way for Tether to donate to pro-crypto and pro-stable...
