☆ Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried says he didn't 'try to commit fraud'
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Elizabeth Napolitano | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +5 min
A growing number of regulators are investigating Bankman-Fried and his former company, and the fallout from the collapse of FTX is only expanding. The broader industry consequences also continue to play out, with the crypto firm BlockFi filing for bankruptcy last week. Days after the CoinDesk report, FTX rival Binance announced it would sell its FTX holdings, setting off a bank-run-style rush of withdrawals. What matters here are the stakeholders in FTX," Bankman-Fried said. Bankman-Fried and his associates greenlighted lavish expenditures, including $300 million for real estate purchases in the Bahamas for FTX and Alameda employees, according to filings from current FTX attorneys.
☆ Yellen says U.S. firms should be mindful of China-Taiwan geopolitical risks
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( David Lawder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
But we are seeing a range of geopolitical risks rise to prominence, and it's appropriate for American businesses to be thinking about what those risks are." U.S. companies are beginning to think about such supply chain risks more seriously, including over Taiwan and Chinese practices that have raised national security concerns, Yellen said. But she said continued strong business ties between the United States and China were important for the global economy. It would not be beneficial "either to the United States or to China or to the global economy to see that erode." Yellen also said China's persistent COVID-19 lockdowns were disrupting production and hampering efforts to end disruptions to global supply chains and rebuild goods inventories.

☆ Amazon CEO explains thinking behind layoffs as unionized warehouse workers protest outside
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Catherine Thorbecke | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Amazon, more than most tech companies, experienced a staggering pandemic boom as more customers shifted their spending online during the health crisis. Despite the landmark union victory in April, Amazon has so far refused to formally recognize the grassroots worker group known as the Amazon Labor Union, or come to the bargaining table. The company has aggressively pushed back against the workers’ victory through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Jassy also emphasized that the last two Amazon union elections held resulted in workers voting not to unionize, and that Amazon prefers to have a direct relationship with fulfillment center workers rather than going through unions. Labor activist Chris Smalls joins members of the Amazon labor union and others for a protest outside of the New York Times DealBook Summit as Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, will be appearing on November 30, 2022 in New York City.
☆ Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's App Store policies are not 'sustainable or good place to be'
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Jonathan Vanian | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is perfectly willing to return the favor. "Apple has sort of singled themselves out as the only company that is trying to control unilaterally what apps get on a device," Zuckerberg said. "They've always made it so you can sideload and have other app stores and work directly with phone manufacturers," Zuckerberg said. "I would guess that not everything is going to work, but I think some things might work," Zuckerberg said. "I tend to think that I don't want one person or one company making those decisions, which is why we pioneered this oversight board for our content decisions," Zuckerberg said.

Nov 30 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) co-founder Reed Hastings said on Wednesday he was "wrong" to resist ads for his streaming service.

NEW YORK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday that she was not sure what an acceptable unemployment rate is for the current economic outlook, but said that the Treasury has considered jobless rates in the 4% range as indicative of a healthy labor market. Asked at the New York Times Dealbook summit to describe a politically palatable unemployment rate, Yellen said, "I'm not sure what the right number is, but certainly, historically, we would have considered numbers with unemployment in the force to be a very healthy labor market. The October unemployment rate was 3.7%, close to a 50-year low, and the Labor Department is due to report jobs data for November on Friday.

☆ U.S. Treasury Yellen: Twitter should be held to certain standards for content

NEW YORK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday said social media company Twitter should be held to certain standards for content, arguing that it is "not that different" from radio stations and broadcasters subject to such rules. Musk on Monday accused Apple of threatening to block Twitter from its app store and said Apple was pressuring Twitter over content moderation demands. Yellen said she believed it was appropriate for mobile technology giants Apple (AAPL.O) and Google (GOOGL.O) to demand certain content standards. And Twitter's not really that different than other broadcast stations," Yellen said. Asked if it was good that such platforms were overseeing content, Yellen said.
☆ FTX would still be solvent if 'SBF was as good at running a crypto exchange as he was at bribing media': Musk
  + stars: | 2022-11-24 | by ( Britney Toh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Musk tweeted Wednesday FTX would still be ok if SBF was as good at leadership as at 'bribing media'. He was responding to a tweet which questioned whether SBF will continue to fund certain media outlets. Musk has been hitting out at the media after reports surfaced SBF may still own a stake in Twitter — which Musk robustly denied. He seemed to be referring to FTX investing in media outlets during the three years that Bankman-Fried, or SBF, was CEO. SBF/FTX do not own shares in Twitter," Musk tweeted Wednesday.
