Argentine statists select a SHITCOINER statist as head-of-state
by professor rat 02 Jan '24

" . . . Milei defines himself as a minarchist rather than an ‘anarcho-capitalist’, although his horizon is ‘anarcho-capitalism’. In any case, we do not know what his degree of pragmatism will be; in that case, he may become an extreme neoliberal. It is difficult to imagine that he can carry out his ‘anarcho-capitalist’ postulates of eliminating the State since the State and capital are complementary and necessary elements in the capitalist system. . . ." https://anarchistnews.org/content/argentina%E2%80%99s-new-president-%E2%80%… Collective proffer and plea bargain of the century! There being so many patently bad anarchists and punks out there now I’m running a limited time offer. If they just get off the net and never come back I may not kill them. Maybe. This magnanimous gesture of noblesse oblige expires on Jan 1 of CYPHERPUNK 2027. AWAY WITH YOU

Fwd: NY-DFS Proposed Guidance on Character and Fitness (Extension Appeal)
by Gunnar Larson 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Scott, Kathleen (DFS) <Kathleen.Scott(a)dfs.ny.gov> Date: Fri, Jun 30, 2023, 4:59 PM Subject: RE: NY-DFS Proposed Guidance on Character and Fitness (Extension Appeal) To: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Dear Mr. Larson, The Department has reviewed your request and at this time is not extending the deadline for comment on the proposed guidance. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that the proposed guidance is not asking anyone to complete the sample questionnaire. The sample questionnaire is merely provided for review and comment by entities regulated by the Department. Very truly yours, Kathleen Scott *From:* Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> *Sent:* Wednesday, June 28, 2023 12:05 AM *To:* Scott, Kathleen (DFS) <Kathleen.Scott(a)dfs.ny.gov> *Cc:* dfs.sm.BankingComments <BankingComments(a)dfs.ny.gov>; cypherpunks(a)cpunks.org *Subject:* NY-DFS Proposed Guidance on Character and Fitness (Extension Appeal) You don't often get email from g(a)xny.io. Learn why this is important <https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> *ATTENTION: This email came from an external source. Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails.* Ms. Scott: NY-DFS recently asked for public comment concerning "Proposed Guidance on Assessment of the Character and Fitness of Directors, Senior Officers, and Managers" mentioned here: https://www.dfs.ny.gov/industry_guidance/industry_letters/il20230509_guidan… . xNY.io - Bank.org asks if the NY-DFS will extend deadline for public comment to August 5, 2023 from June 30, 2023. As requested by NY-DFS, today we provide (in a separate attachment) evidence of any documented exceptions to compliance with the "Suggested Questions to Facilitate Initial and Ongoing Assessment of Designated Persons’ Character and Fitness." We have collated 19 references comprising 205 highlights that touch on the five key areas below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FTRRFFhQHDxf-oR9WOZz0a2gRtC9ZWVO. -Harassment and Discrimination Policies -Conflict of Interest Policy -Insider Trading Policy -Records Management Policy -Corporate Opportunity Policy xNY.io - Bank.org is seeking NY-DFS' extension for public comment to August 5, 2023 so that the New York Banking community has time to complete Q2-23 earnings call disclosures. As documented in the above 19 references, we feel extra time for public comment is warranted to ensure that xNY.io - Bank.org did not play a significant role or otherwise contribute in a meaningful way to the conduct that led to regulatory action or proceeding without ample notice. Per point one of NY-DFS' "Suggested Questions to Facilitate Initial and Ongoing Assessment of Designated Persons’ Character and Fitness," can you kindly acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand our appeal seeking extension for public comment to August 5, 2023? We hope to hear from you before June 30, 2023 given obvious factors. Sending you the very best regards. Thank you, Gunnar -- Gunnar Larson xNY.io | Bank.org MSc - Digital Currency MBA - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-917-580-8053 New York, New York 10001

No wonder the SoB looks so miserable lately. Truth is a defence in any libel action! " . . . Addressing the severity of the allegations, Nerayoff said, “The truth is so bad that they can’t show on-chain data that would prove I’m lying about the DAO Hack being an inside job.” He added, “They know that we know even this heist is the tip of the iceberg. Their silence has never been more deafening.” FROM https://bitcoinist.com/ethereum-dominoes-fall-other-whistleblowers/?utm_sou… Freak!
