  + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Angel Au-Yeung | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
High interest rates have put many financial-technology companies in a tight spot. They are trying to course-correct by cutting jobs and other costs. Investment in private fintech companies fell 46% globally in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, according to research firm CB Insights. The number of deals slid back to 2017 levels.

WONDER BOY: Tony Hsieh, Zappos and the Myth of Happiness in Silicon Valley, by Angel Au-Yeung and David JeansA few chapters into “Wonder Boy,” Tony Hsieh sells his first company to Microsoft for $265 million. At 24, he is fabulously rich and one of the rising stars in the tech firmament. So he sits down to write a list of the happiest periods in his life. “Connecting with a friend and talking through the entire night until the sun rose made me happy,” he writes. Lying on the freezing ground on a filthy blanket, he suffered smoke inhalation that would kill him.
Former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh died in 2020 following injuries he sustained in a house fire. Hsieh devised a scheme called "10X" that demanded achievement in multiples of ten, Forbes reported. In the last weeks of his life, the former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh spent much of his wealth in a scheme he devised called 10X. The LLC had $10 million to fund documentary film projects, which entitled Grande to a $1 million commission. The 10X scheme sometimes caused disputes.

WASHINGTON—Conservative activists are coordinating a multimillion-dollar national campaign to make ESG the next CRT. Their goal: Transform the acronym for environmental, social and corporate-governance investing into a rallying cry against “woke capitalism,” much the way critical race theory became shorthand for broader criticisms about how race is taught in schools. The same conservative money is behind both efforts, documents and interviews show.
NASSAU, Bahamas—Last year, an FTX executive walked into a bank office here and put $4.5 million of the company’s money behind an ambitious plan to buy an oceanside parcel of land and turn it into the crypto giant’s new headquarters. The executive, Ryan Salame , closed the deal in short order, people familiar with the matter said, just part of the company’s whirlwind real-estate shopping spree in and around Nassau. In April, the Bahamas prime minister appeared with FTX executives at a ceremonial groundbreaking on the new land. But construction never really got under way. FTX collapsed this month, its real-estate holdings now subsumed in bankruptcy.
NASSAU, Bahamas— Sam Bankman -Fried’s $32 billion crypto-trading empire collapsed in an incandescent bankruptcy last week, prompting irate customers, crypto acolytes and Silicon Valley bigwigs to ask how something that seemed so promising could have imploded so fast. The emerging picture suggests FTX wasn’t simply felled by a rival, or undone by a bad trade or the relentless fall this year in the value of cryptocurrencies. Instead, it had long been a chaotic mess. No one could say exactly what belonged to whom. Prosecutors are now investigating its collapse.
Encouraging renewable-energy alternatives to coal-fired power plants is a goal of environmental, social and governance, or ESG, investment. Terrence Keeley had been at BlackRock Inc. for about a decade when he reached a contrarian conclusion: ESG doesn’t work. Mr. Keeley spent much of his time at the asset manager overseeing a group that nurtured relationships with central banks, finance ministries, family offices and sovereign-wealth funds. Under pressure from politicians and activists, some of these investors were looking to distance themselves from companies that fall short on environmental, social and governance factors. BlackRock obliged, helping clients funnel money toward companies whose values they share.
