Sheila Bair, a top regulator during the 2008 financial crisis, told CNN there are eerie similarities between the dramatic rise and fall of Bankman-Fried and FTX and that of infamous Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernie Madoff. Bair notes that 30-year-old Bankman-Fried, like Madoff, proved adept at using his pedigree and connections to seduce sophisticated investors and regulators into missing “red flags” hiding in plain sight. Up until the bankruptcy filing, FTX even had an application pending with federal regulators to clear derivatives, The Wall Street Journal reported. FTX’s bankruptcy filing indicates it had liabilities of $10 billion to $50 billion at the time of the filing. — If you are an FTX customer and want to discuss how you have been impacted by the bankruptcy, please reach out to Matt.Egan@CNN.com

There's also a hangover effect from the sudden collapse of CNN+, which Zucker pushed relentlessly as the future of the business. The comments heightened anxiety for many CNN staffers, according to six people who were at the company at the time. The changes should also bring workflow alignments to CNN digital and linear, which should help both entities' content and organization. CNN still hasn't named a chief digital officer, although the company's job posting now says it's filled.

☆ Semafor debuts in a tough media environment, with an aim toward decluttering the news

Semafor has been preparing for its launch since January, when former New York Times media columnist Ben Smith and former Bloomberg Media Chief Executive Officer Justin Smith quit their jobs to start the venture. The Smiths will take lessons learned from more than 20 years in digital media to steer Semafor into what they hope will be a global, profitable business. Still, advertising-supported digital media is a sector known for recession droughts and low growth — with plenty of cautionary tales. Semafor will immediately stand out from legacy news publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Steet Journal or CNN.com through its unique article structure. To solve for information overload, a key flaw in the current media ecosystem, according to Justin Smith, outside media analysis will be truncated and found in the Notable section.

Lukaşenko acuză Occidentul că încearcă să „destabilizeze” situaţia din țara sa, pentru a o readuce în situația de anul trecut, când după alegerile prezidenţiale din august au izbucnit proteste de masă care denunțau fraude. Vladimir Putin a subliniat că nu a existat o astfel de reacţie de indignare în Uniunea Europeană atunci când avionul care îl transporta pe preşedintele bolivian a fost constrâns să aterizeze la Viena, la cererea SUA. „Au obligat avionul preşedintelui Boliviei să aterizeze, pe preşedinte l-au dat jos din avion şi nimic, tăcere!” a arătat Putin. Cu o zi înainte, Evo Morales, care participase în Rusia la o conferință pe tema gazelor naturale, declarase într-un interviu pentru televiziunea rusă că este dispus să-i acorde azil politic lui Snowden. La Viena, avionul lui Evo Morales a fost percheziționat, iar președintele Boliviei a fost nevoit să-și petreacă o noapte în Austria înainte ca aeronava să primească permisiunea de a decola.

According to Aidworkersecurity.org, at least 155 aid workers were killed in 2013, a 121% increase on 70 recorded killings the year before. ISIS doesn’t just target aid workers.
