☆ The Ukraine war has killed hundreds of thousands of people. His job is to collect the bodies.
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( Katie Livingstone | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

This could translate to tens of thousands of bodies left behind — and many years of work for the body collectors. In 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea and the Donbas region of Ukraine, Yukov helped start the Black Tulip mission. The retrieval process is identical for Ukrainian and Russian bodies, Yukov said. Ukrainian bodies are returned as quickly as possible to their grieving families, while Russian bodies are transferred to Ukrainian government hands so that they can be exchanged for Ukrainians in the possession of Russian forces. Denys Sosnenko, a former Ukrainian national kickboxing champion also from Sloviansk, was killed driving over a buried anti-tank mine while on a Black Tulip mission.

☆ Self-proclaimed bitcoin inventor's $2.5 bln lawsuit can go to trial - London court
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Industry Insight | Upcoming Sec Climate Disclosure Rules Bring Urgency To Esg Data Strategy Planning | Zach Warren | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Self-proclaimed bitcoin creator Craig Wright's lawsuit against bitcoin network developers to try to recover billions of dollars can continue to trial, a London court said on Friday. Wright’s Seychelles-based company Tulip Trading is taking legal action against the developers of three networks, arguing they are obliged to write software patches to help Tulip recover the bitcoin. Tulip’s case was thrown out last year, but the Court of Appeal ruled on Friday that developers arguably do owe duties to owners, which should be determined at a full trial. Judge Colin Birss said Tulip had a realistic argument that cryptocurrency is “entrusted” to network developers, who could therefore have a duty to, for example, “introduce code so that an owner’s bitcoin can be transferred to safety”. He added that the outcome of any trial will affect “all aspects of (decentralised finance), whether it involves value tokens or NFTs (non-fungible tokens) or the wider blockchain system”.

☆ No issue with crypto in India if laws are followed - minister
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

NEW DELHI, Jan 19 (Reuters) - India's junior IT minister on Thursday said there was no issue with cryptocurrencies in India if all laws are followed, in remarks that contradicted the central bank's view advising investors to stay away from crypto. India has been trying to come up with regulation for cryptocurrencies, with a central bank deputy governor even calling for them to be banned, but the government has not been able to formulate legislation yet. In Febraury, a deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), T. Rabi Sankar, said cryptocurrencies were akin to Ponzi schemes or worse and banning them was the most sensible option for India. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das also said in February that cryptocurrencies lacked the underlying value of even a tulip.

"Black Tulip" exhumes bodies of both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers on the battlefield and trades the bodies of deceased Russian soldiers they find for the bodies of deceased Ukrainian soldiers to return to their families. REUTERS/Clodagh KilcoyneYAMPIL, Ukraine, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Combing the battlefields of eastern Ukraine, a group of volunteers have made it their mission to search for the bodies of fallen soldiers and return them to their families. Made up of around 100 volunteers, the group undertakes the at times dangerous task of locating and exhuming bodies of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers close to the front line. Bodies are often found with the remains of explosive weapons, and some are booby-trapped, the group said.

☆ You’re Layering Your Clothes Wrong. Here’s What to Do Instead.
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-27 | by ( Todd Plummer | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

WHEN NEW YORK CITY comedian Jared Freid appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” this fall, he recounted that, back in college, he and his friends would layer on several colorful polo shirts, collars popped—a fashion choice that left Mr. Freid resembling what he ruefully called “an aggressive tulip.”When it comes to layering clothing—that stylist-approved way to keep warm come winter and spruce up the separates in your wardrobe by combining them in fresh ways—it’s easy to mess up even if you’ve never been a noughties frat boy. Done thoughtlessly, it can leave you looking like Joey in the “Friends” episode when he dons every single article of clothing that Chandler owns. Here, five common problems that inept layerers run into—and what to do instead.

☆ As BlockFi files for bankruptcy, what to know about crypto investor protections
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-28 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

The ongoing FTX fallout — and bankruptcies earlier this year for lenders Celsius Network and Voyager Digital — is teaching crypto investors a hard lesson about their protections relative to more traditional asset classes. Howey Co., established the so-called Howey test to determine what constitutes a security, or "investment contract." More on how the Howey test works can be found below. Here's why this is important for crypto: It's unclear in many cases if digital assets are an "investment contract" under the 76-year-old Howey test. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation insures investors for up to $500,000 in the event a brokerage firm liquidates and their holdings are tied up in the insolvent firm.

☆ U.S. Soccer briefly scrubs emblem from Iran flag at World Cup
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-27 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

The U.S. Soccer Federation briefly displayed Iran's national flag on social media without the emblem of the Islamic Republic, saying the move supported protesters in Iran ahead of the two nations' World Cup match Tuesday. The Twitter account of the U.S. men's team displayed a banner with the squad's matches in the group stage, with the Iranian flag only bearing its green, white and red colors. The USSF displayed the official Iranian flag in a graphic showing Group B standings on its website. As comments raged online, Iranian state television described the U.S. federation as "removing the symbol of Allah" from the Iranian flag. In the capital Tehran, anti-riot police — the same ones cracking down on protests — waved the Iranian flag after the Wales win, angering demonstrators.

☆ A 32-year-old rock climber built a treehouse vacation-rental business in Kentucky with 10 retreats that go for up to $950 a night. Check out one of the properties he calls 'Cliff Dweller.'

The business rents treehouses in Kentucky's Red River Gorge, some for up to $950 a night. Kroner moved to the Red River Gorge area in 2009 because of the location's world-renowned rock climbing. It was after Kroner's friends began to visit his treehouse when he came up with the idea for The Canopy Crew. When he's scouting a new location for a treehouse, Kroner said, he looks for a place in the woods where he'd like to hang out. It also has a giant net that serves as a hammock and unbeatable views of the gorge, Kroner said.

☆ Why protections for crypto investors are linked to orange groves
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-21 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

watch nowHow orange groves impact crypto protectionsThe reason why largely hinges on a 1946 Supreme Court case about investors in Florida orange groves. Howey Co. — established the so-called Howey test to determine what constitutes a security, or "investment contract." (More on how the Howey test works can be found below.) Here's why this is important for crypto: It's unclear in many cases if digital assets are an "investment contract" under the 76-year-old Howey test. Why the 'security' distinction mattersThe Howey test has four parts to determine if something like bitcoin is an "investment contract."

☆ FTX flop evokes history’s great financial swindles

As Walter Bagehot wrote in “Lombard Street” in 1873, “The good times too of high price almost always engender much fraud. As cryptocurrencies declined in value, FTX provided a line of credit to BlockFi, a stricken crypto-lender. He talked about Three Arrows Capital, the failed crypto hedge fund, as engaged in “punting”. His firm launched a product based on a basket of crypto assets that it called Shitcoin Index Perpetual Futures, with the unsubtle ticker SHIT-PERP. He commissioned an advertisement, aired during the Super Bowl, in which the comedian Larry David casts doubt on the viability of FTX.

☆ 'Bulldog' lawyer Thomas Lauria Lauria predicted a crypto 'liquidation boom' well before Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX filed for bankruptcy
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Jack Newsham | Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +14 min

Thomas Lauria runs the bankruptcy team at White & Case where clients have included Hertz and Johnson & Johnson. But Lauria told Insider that the ability of crypto companies to reorganize will depend on whether they have any real assets. Notably, when Lauria represented Hertz in its Chapter 11 case during the coronavirus pandemic, even its unsecured creditors were repaid in full. So I'm not sure that what's happening in crypto right now is really going to be a reorganization boom, but really probably more of a liquidation boom. About $10 billion of Hertz debt, when they filed, was related to financing in connection with their US fleet.

Lam Yik | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesWith a nod to Gertrude Stein, "there's no there there," in the world of cryptocurrencies. Whether it's manias in Sumerian grain markets, Dutch tulip bulbs, railroad bonds and everything from internet service providers to digital currencies, leveraged speculation is as old as markets themselves. Digital assets that don't exist in reality have been used as collateral to buy and sell other non-existent assets with a heavy dose of borrowed money. This creates a daisy chain of interlocked digital tokens that have no inherent value except what people are willing to ascribe.
