Video: Funding Offshore Litigation

Check out my new article: Video: Funding Offshore Litigation A new video exploring offshore litigation investment is a must see. The joint Brick Court and Hereford Litigation seminar with Vernon Flynn QC, Benjamin Woolgar and Ben Mays profiles thoughts, ideas and trends driving offshore litigation funding innovation. *Here are some key takeaways from the **YouTube film* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vTlKDhkXTk&t=18s>*: * - Litigation funding as a tool is still being digested by the broader public. Such public awareness campaigns have yet to be groundbreaking. Over the lifetime of the industry, key historic moments will be linked to developments in public exposure. - In theory, there is no limit to the amount of litigation investment dollars associated with large scale offshore litigation portfolio assets. - Litigation finance is more than a finance tool. Some are embarrassed by the outdated view of the litigation finance industry. - Sophisticated relationships and trusted partners are the core of offshore litigation investment. It is a long term relationship. - Offshore – onshore ligation partnerships are smart. Cross border litigation funding is less developed than onshore practice. - There is a spectrum reflected between offshore and onshore litigation innovation. - Cultural change is an international movement. Yet, issues of principles are still evolving. - Enforcement of offshore litigation claims is emerging. Some argue case litigation costs should be recoverable assets. - Fraud and asset recovery is earning new offshore investment. - Case analytics powered by data seem important, but fundability is still heavily subjective. https://litigationfinancejournal.com/video-funding-offshore-litigation/ -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

"Africa has been a Pharma colony for over a century. It is the venue of choice for companies seeking cooperative government officials, compliant populations, the lowest per-patient enrollment costs, and lax oversight by media and regulatory officials. Powerless, often illiterate, and, if necessary, disposable quasi volunteers allow Pharma’s PIs to paper over even catastrophic side effects and mistakes. In 2005, FDA officials learned that Dr. Fauci’s DAIDS team had concealed scores of deaths and hundreds of injuries during HIV drug trials in Africa with another of his toxic chemotherapy vanity products, Nevirapine"

Wikileaks Belarus Branch Office

He had already passed some to the state-backed publication Russian Reporter. He travelled on to Belarus, ruled by the Soviet-style dictator Alexander Lukashenko, where he met regime officials. The Russian Interfax news agency reported that Shamir was WikiLeaks' "Russian representative", and had "confirmed the existence of the Belarus dossier". According to him, WikiLeaks had several thousand "interesting" secret documents. Shamir then wrote a piece of grovelling pro-Lukashenko propaganda in Counterpunch, claiming "the people were happy, fully employed, and satisfied with their government". So yes, despite knowing Shamir's extremist background, his desire for cables about "the Jews," his meetings with Belorussian dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko, Julian Assange continues to work with his Russian distributor (and his son, the equally dubious Johannes Wahlström) and is indeed paying him for his role in spreading the cables in Russia.

Miami Herald: Criminalizing free speech? Group challenges Miami Beach law used to cuff people filming cops

Miami Herald: Criminalizing free speech? Group challenges Miami Beach law used to cuff people filming cops. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article257768808.html "After last year’s unruly spring break on South Beach, the Miami Beach city commission passed an ordinance that allowed for the arrest of people who “interrupt” and get too close to cops doing their job on the streets. The result: Miami Beach police, over a crowded weekend in July, arrested over a dozen people, almost all Black and in the process of video recording police officers." "Since then, nearly every one of those cases has been quietly dropped. But in one of the few remaining cases, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers asked a court to dismiss the case against an Ohio tourist, saying the ordinance unconstitutionally punished the right to free speech." "Given the opportunity to defend the law in court, Miami Beach’s city prosecutor last week backed down — simply dropping the case."
