Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement
by Gunnar Larson 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

Subject: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ajVVx6NGB9wd2GDXfLRftf0RVFpqjl8WWITvdNV… March 10, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Mr. John Marzulli United States Department of Justice Eastern District of New York 271 Cadman Plaza East Brooklyn New York, 11201 John.Marzulli(a)usdoj.gov Re: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dear Mr. Marzulli: The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1, Memo #2 and Memo #3 with our recent inquiry to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred Prosecution Agreement <https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/goldman-sachs-resolves-foreign-bribery…> with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical enforcement being concerned. Memo #4 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with war crimes of aggression (in the planning, initiation, or execution of a large-scale and serious act of aggression), leveraging the world’s only military divided capital city Nicosia, Cyprus. 1. Additionally, Memo #4 aims to earn the DOJ’s assessment of New York State’s regulatory marketplace manipulation deriving the war crime against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. 2. In this case, the first challenge is to observe and consider the simple idea that the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs alone, through means of regulatory arbitrage naively fails to recognize the ‘cause and effect’ relationship at play at the inception of Memo #4’s assertion of war crimes. 3. Even with the best of intentions, perhaps unknowingly the DOJ may be amplifying the effect of potential war crimes by indirectly supplementing the root cause of the problem and financial model of the Deferred Agreement being self-policing. Mr. Marzulli, there has been an active United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cyprus since the 1964 Turkish military invasion and occupation of the northern third of Cyprus. Only Turkey recognises the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, while there is broad recognition that the ongoing military presence constitutes occupation of territories that are under Turkish military control. - The graduate education behind Memo #4 is a product of the University of Nicosia’s (UNIC) main campus, located adjacent to the United Nations Buffer Zone that separates the invaded Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus, which joined the European Union in 2004. - Memo #4 is also a product of United Nations consultancy, based at its Manhattan headquarters, where (today, what is now xNY.io - Bank.org) was credited with increasing the breadth and accessibility of reference content from the world’s most important multinational organization. - Memo #4’s subject of war crimes has preeminent association with such projects as the Audio Visual Library of International Law. Over the following sections, Memo #4 will provide a detailed timeline that would constitute real concern of the war crime of aggression yielding the war crime against peace in active war conflict in the world’s only military divided capital, funded from Manhattan Island. The Bank of Cyprus and Illegal Short Selling Irregularities of Turkey’s Markets Mr. Marzulli, turn this matter as we will, and look at it from any side whatsoever, and it presents the appearance of a cross-border act of aggression. Goldman Sachs’ potential disrespect to the Deferred Agreement’s core values has cultivated new crimes that aim to manipulate cross-border war crime regulatory frameworks. - On April 02, 2021 the Financial Times reported that Turkey fined Goldman Sachs over alleged irregularities in short selling, just a week after foreign investors pulled $1.9B from the country’s stock and bond markets. Turkey’s Capital Markets Board said that Goldman Sachs was among 10 securities firms that had placed orders for short selling without proper notification, violating rules enacted previously that temporarily prohibited such transactions. - On April 20, 2021 the CyprusMail (Cyprus’ only English Language daily newspaper) reported Goldman Sachs International acted as Global Coordinators and Dealer Managers in a $330M bond issuance for the Bank of Cyprus. Given the active military conflict in Cyprus, Memo #4 notes that there is one place on the planet you are not supposed to do this sort of thing. Furthermore, the DOJ’s Deferred Agreement with Goldman Sachs may have been tainted with the potential war crime of aggression, risking international peace and the lives of United Nations peacekeepers, while jeopardizing the United States of America’s financial security. Concern of New York Prime Bank Instrument Fraud and Marketplace Manipulation The United States Department of the Treasury warns that Prime Bank Instrument Fraud schemes have attracted significant international attention, since individuals and organizations have lost billions of dollars worldwide. "Prime Bank Instrument Fraud" is the general term given to prime bank fraud schemes that go by many different names. During April 2021, Goldman Sachs could not in good faith (and, plausible deniability) make any reasonable claim of holding a pristine relationship with Turkey’s Central Bank or with Cyprus’ largest financial institutions, given the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal and then pending Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States of America. - Memo #4 suggests that Goldman Sachs developed a Prime Bank Instrument Fraud program to level out yo-yo market dynamics caused by failed marketplace manipulation exercises in Turkey and Cyprus. - Systematic bank fraud and/or marketplace manipulation of any kind between Turkey and Cyprus could constitute the war crime of aggression. - Furthermore, Memo #4 argues that Goldman Sachs may have tried to bambooze governments in New York, Cyprus and Turkey through regulatory arbitrage loopholes, while Goldman seemingly may have not considered the totality of such actions as war crimes. Turkey has the highest inflation in Europe. It has the second-highest rate of inflation among emerging markets, just behind Argentina. It has the 13th highest inflation rate in the world, ranking it between South Sudan and Nigeria. After Goldman Sachs was fined for illegal stock and bond market short selling by the Turkish government, logic would argue further malfeasance potentially could have been avoided by the DOJ’s 1Malaysia Development Berhad investigation. - On April 15, 2021 CNBC reported that Goldman Sachs (note, the previous section’s milestones of April 02, 2021 and April 20, 2021) crucially removed its bias toward Turkey tightening interest rates. Goldman issued guidance highlighting the fact that the bank thought that, “…the removal of the tightening bias against rising inflation expectations suggests that the TCMB (Turkish Central Bank) now has a more dovish reaction function.” - On August 14, 2021 the CyprusMail reported serious concern among economists about data reporting from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Ahmet Takan, a former official with the office of the Turkish prime minister, acted as a whistle blower, warning that Turkey potentially was manipulating inflation data. - On September 1, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs hiked Turkish growth forecasts. Goldman economists issued guidance stating, "Overall, the Turkish economy has been able to grow faster than we thought without a deterioration in its external balances, as the pickup in foreign demand has been very supportive." - On November 30, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs trimed Turkey’s 2022 growth forecast. Goldman Sachs' Murat Unur stated, "We think that the GDP figures released today tell us little about the pace of economic activity going forward as the recent sell-off in the Lira is likely to impact economic activity significantly" Mr. Marzulli, the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs was signed on October 21, 2021. The timeline of events above do not coincide with terms and conditions of the Deferred Agreement mandated by the United States of America. Furthermore, as an international graduate scholars of the world’s only military divided capital on the planet, xNY.io - Bank.org should be protected from any association of crimes against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. War Crimes Against Humanity Mr. Marzulli, xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned that potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement are impacting our global enterprise. Crimes against humanity can be committed in peacetime as well as during an armed conflict. Even a single act could fall under this exclusion ground provided it forms part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population and the act is committed by any person (including a civilian) who had knowledge of the attack and the link of the act to the attack. 1. We are looking to learn more about the DOJ’s approach to assessing any potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement’s mandates as we determine New York State’s role in cross-border bank regulation and corresponding innovation beyond war crimes against humanity. 2. In order to establish whether a war crime or a crime against humanity has been committed, the case officer should consult the relevant international instruments and case law. 3. Crimes against humanity are fundamentally inhumane acts, committed as part of a systematic or widespread attack. Inhumane acts, which could reach this threshold when committed pursuant to or in furtherance of a State or organizational policy (potentially, New York State bank regulation). 4. Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, or other grounds that are universally recognised as impermissible under international law. 5. Furthermore, we have made 28 highlights to the Deferred Agreement providing supporting reference to Memo #4’s overarching premise. xNY.io - Bank.org submits Memo #4 for DOJ consideration of other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health. Some crimes against humanity would require an additional specific intent, such as Goldman Sachs willfully disrespecting New York State and/or overall peace and security of the United States of America. Memo #1, Memo #2, Memo #3 and Memo #4 outline instances that correspond with the associated definitions of the potential war crimes abroad and jeopardize the future of bank innovation from New York, at great sacrifice to the Homeland. We hope to learn the DOJ’s approach to comment on Memo #4’s subject matter or, without delay refer these concerns to the International Criminal Court and/or International Court of Justice for comment.

Alito, Kagan Top Justices in Supreme Court Recusal ‘Black Box’
by Gunnar Larson 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/alito-kagan-top-justices-in-supre… Justices decide themselves whether to step away from case Recusals over stocks, previous work; pressure to explain US Supreme Court justices recused themselves in roughly 3% of appeals since 2018, with Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan doing so most often, a Bloomberg Law analysis shows. Virtually all of the more than 750 recusals identified in a review of court orders lacked an explanation of why the justices avoided participating. Neither they nor the court are required to give reasons. But financial disclosures, orders, and case records provide insight into their decision-making. The period covers a changing court with advocacy groups, ethics scholars, and lawmakers from both parties pressing for more transparency about how the justices do their work behind closed doors. Legislative proposals and other calls for a code of conduct applicable to the justices have sought more openness about recusal. “Recusal explanations would help the public understand the justices’ entanglements so we’d have a standard by which to hold them to and a way to see if the nine are following the recusal law in a consistent manner,” said Gabe Roth, executive director of Fix the Court. The non-profit watchdog also compiles recusal data, and some of its analysis was included in this report. Nearly all recusals involved petitions that were denied review. A small number occurred at the merits stage and off the so-called shadow docket, leaving the nine-member bench shorthanded when deciding those matters. The court hears about 70 cases each term. Alito’s stock holdings appear to account for dozens of recusals, while Kagan’s stint as US solicitor general in the Obama administration are likely related to most of hers. Justice Clarence Thomas almost never recuses, despite outside pressure to do so. Most recently, Thomas faced calls to sit out a Jan. 6-related case because his wife, Ginni, lobbied the White House to overturn the 2020 election. ‘Black Box’ Federal law requires that justices and other federal judges disqualify themselves when impartiality could be questioned. That includes any personal bias against or ties to a party, as well as conflicts arising from financial holdings. The code of conduct for lower court judges is considered guidance and Chief Justice John Roberts says the high court abides by it. Lower federal courts have for years used software to help flag conflicts. But Indiana law professor and legal ethics expert Charles Geyh called the Supreme Court’s handling of recusals a “black box.” The high court declined to discuss recusals but has said they are largely left to the individual justices and their staffs. The process includes an initial conflict check in chambers. A rule adopted by the court in 2019 to make it easier to identify financial or personal conflicts requires attorneys to disclose certain information about their clients. Roberts has said the justices may seek advice from the court’s legal office or consult their colleagues when weighing recusal decisions. Justices have called recusal a personal decision and have rebuffed suggestions to explain their decisions, which are unreviewable. New Justices, Stocks The recusal review included the October 2018 term through the first half of the current one. The justices recused in roughly 3% of the estimated 24,000 appeals logged during the period. Kagan and Alito recused more than 130 times each. Others varied, with roughly 100 recusals for Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch to about 60 or under for Roberts, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor. Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg recorded a few each for the period. Ginsburg died in 2020 and Breyer retired last year. With two dozen individual stocks listed on his latest financial disclosure form last May, more than a third of Alito’s recusals over the period likely were due to share conflicts. Petitioners had links to businesses like Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie Inc., 3M Co., PNC Bank, a unit of PNC Financial Services Group Inc., and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a unit of J&J. Apparent stock ties to energy and aerospace firms, like ConnocoPhillips Co. and Boeing Co., appeared to also factor in Alito’s recusals. Roberts and Breyer also recused due to likely stock conflicts although they reported fewer holdings over the period than Alito. Breyer appeared to have conflicts with aerospace firm Raytheon Technologies Corp. and home-improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos Inc., while Roberts recused in cases involving AT&T Inc., which was no longer listed on his disclosure form as of 2021, and Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Roberts, Kagan, and Gorsuch also have recused likely due to their fund accounts with financial services firm Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. The judiciary should list investments, bank accounts, and other reportable assets of a certain value they, their spouses, and dependent children hold. Financial conflicts are the “easy cases” to identify since the rules are cut and dry, Russell Wheeler, a Brookings Institution scholar who follows the judiciary, has said. But Samford University law professor William Ross says recusal in other cases can be highly subjective. “In particular, the language ‘personal bias or prejudice’ can be open to many interpretations. And a justice might not believe she is biased and that her partiality could not be questioned even though many third parties might question it,” Ross said. ‘Abundance of Caution’ Recusals often involve ties to previous work, Fix the Court has found. For instance, most of Kagan’s recusals occurred in cases in which the US was a defendant, a nod to her time as the government’s top lawyer at the Supreme Court. The solicitor general’s office supervises appellate litigation involving the US government. With such a broad mandate, it’s not surprising that Kagan has recused more than most of her colleagues, even though she’s been on the bench for over a decade. Wheeler suggests she’s acting out of “an abundance of caution” to avoid the appearance of bias. Recusals also were traced to cases bubbling up from a justice’s time as an appellate judge, whether they participated in them or were simply a member of the court that considered them. All but Kagan sat on federal circuit courts, and recusals tend to swell temporarily for newer justices. The review included the first terms for Trump appointees Kavanaugh and Barrett, and Biden selection Ketanji Brown Jackson, who took her seat in June. Gorsuch, another Trump appointment, was seated in April 2017. Occasionally justices step aside for other reasons. Jackson, who has accounted for about a dozen of the more than 70 court recusals this term so far, said at her confirmation hearing that she wouldn’t participate in the affirmative action case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard due to her close ties to the school. Breyer recused from a number of appeals involving matters heard by his brother, Charles Breyer, a senior US district judge in California. These included cases involving Volkswagen AG over its diesel emissions cheating scandal. Justices also recused when they were named in suits. Roberts also decided against considering a case involving the Smithsonian Institution, likely because he serves as its chancellor, according to a 2021 report by the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh recused when the court rejected a J&J appeal in a case involving talc products and cancer claims. His father was a cosmetic-industry lobbyist. Case Against Georgetown Law visiting professor Caroline Fredrickson said the Supreme Court has come under an unusual amount of scrutiny lately, particularly over questions about its inner workings. An explanation regarding recusal determinations could ease tensions. “It’s low-hanging fruit,” said Fredrickson, a former president of the progressive American Constitution Society. But in making the justices explain recusals, Stetson University law professor Louis J. Virelli cautions “be careful what you wish for.” He’s written that explanations could place a justice in the position of creating “what amounts to a policy decision for the entire court” and put unnecessary pressure on future justices. Mandating written explanations also could have the unintended effect of discouraging recusals, at least in cases where there isn’t necessarily a compelling reason to do so “because justices might not want to take the time and trouble,” Ross said. Virelli pointed to Antonin Scalia’s 2004 decision not to recuse in a case involving Dick Cheney despite going on a hunting trip with the then-vice president. Scalia wrote that recusal could encourage more calls for justices to do so, but explaining his thinking did little to quell concerns that he could be impartial. In another rare instance of a justice explaining his decision to not recuse, William Rehnquist said in 1972’s Laird v. Tatum that doing so outside of rare circumstances wouldn’t be appropriate. Breyer told a House hearing in 2015 that justices have a duty to sit to ensure majority opinions, recusal was a “personal decision,” and that he followed the code of ethics for lower court judges. “I think this is the best way to run this institution,” Breyer said. Methodology Bloomberg Law reviewed Supreme Court orders from October 2018 through January 2023 to determine when and how frequently each justice recused. Reporters also consulted the justices’ annual financial disclosures and certain lower court filings to identify likely reasons for recusal. Findings were also compared to data and analysis compiled by Supreme Court watchdog Fix the Court and the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court. Percentages for each justice are calculated against the court’s total recusals per term, and include rounding. Recusals are counted once per justice per case. All data, case filings, and disclosure forms are publicly available on federal court websites.

SpaceX Interlocking Directors' Intent to Manipulate Markets

Bloomberg Crypto Summit. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Sat, Nov 11, 2023, 12:12 PM Subject: SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets To: <letitia.james(a)ag.ny.gov> Cc: <ir(a)twitter.com>, Harris, Adrienne A (DFS) <Adrienne.Harris(a)dfs.ny.gov>, Reader, Shaun <sreader(a)curtis.com>, Dean, Peter C (DFS) < Peter.Dean(a)dfs.ny.gov> Attorney General James: On November 2, 2023 xNY.io - Bank.org contacted your esteemed office with intent to execute N.Y. Executive Law, Article 15 § 297. Procedure 1. Additionally, § 298-a. Application of article to certain acts committed outside the state of New York, (Israel Crisis). Given several factors, we are reasonably confident in your office and the FBI knowing why xNY.io - Bank.org would seek to engage New York Human Rights Law. As an alumni of United Nations Headquarters in New York, I left the UN as a producer of the Audio Visual Library of International Law. Attorney General James, Nicosia, Cyprus is the only military divided capital city in the world (invaded by Turkey), with active UN Peacekeeping Mission, and is where I have earned my graduate education. When starting my second graduate degree in Cyprus, it is my understanding that the FBI in New York became aware of xNY.io - Bank.org. xNY.io - Bank.org is under investigation by New York for all the logical reasons. However, we are not virtual currency market manipulators and it seems NY-DFS is blaming xNY.io - Bank.org for leading a virtual currency RICO defense. Today we again contact your office seeking New York State Executive Law (Article 15), Human Rights Law as jurisdictional prudence. § 298-a. Application of article to certain acts committed outside the state of New York covers xNY.io - Bank.org various abuses against our enterprise. Furthermore, recent events show that New York State's Attorney General has greater powers than the United Nations in protecting New Yorkers from potential financial crimes. The June 18, 2022 memo below is one such example. xNY.io - Bank.org hopes your esteemed office understands that the dealmakers mentioned in the memo below also bank the United Nations. The flow of money has certainly affected xNY.io - Bank.org with unlawful surveillance, market manipulation and threats. xNY.io - Bank.org will never be deterred and is now motivated more than ever. That said, Attorney General James your office is key to providing New York State greater innovation potential than the United Nations (and New York banks associated). For example, Craig Mokhiber was director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, but last week quit his post over the Israel-Hamas war: https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/11/09/exp-craig-mokhiber-un-human-rig… . xNY.io - Bank.org hopes any virtual currency RICO in New York State will not impact potental obstruction, given commuated conflicts. Furthermore, New York City Mayor Adams' situation could be a postive pathway in creative thinking if we are to be proactive problem solvers. Given several factors, we must engage funding to protect xNY.io - Bank.org's interests.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Sat, Feb 3, 2024, 2:41 PM Subject: SpaceX Corporation Board of Directors One Rocket Road Hawthorne, California 90250 Sales(a)SpaceX.com Re: Potential SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets To: <cypherpunks(a)cpunks.org> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lv9Wt6y1ld4bNap0z3epIxttEGiP_oVpfxH0GTS… May 21, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL SpaceX Corporation Board of Directors One Rocket Road Hawthorne, California 90250 Sales(a)SpaceX.com Re: Potential SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets Dear SpaceX Board of Directors: >From our New York headquarters, xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC embodies the notion that rather than a merry-go-round, the process of change and innovation is like a slide. Today’s memo aims to notify the SpaceX Corporation of concern of potential market manipulation that could impact cross-border digital asset innovation, free speech in the United States of America, the global ESG economy and Moon exploration. We do not see this as a stereotypical democrat versus republican battle (as Mr. Musk alludes). We see this as a risk arbitrage matter for xNY.io - Bank.org’s profit (subject to regulatory approval). Some may argue a scheme to leverage the protection of “free speech” has led to Twitter deal advisors attempting a $44B LBO market manipulation exercise. Further cause for reasonable concern is warranted if similar intent is at play in the form of Tesla’s ESG scam claim. xNY.io - Bank.org indicators signal risk of possible intent to manipulate public and private markets prompting clarification of the SpaceX Corporation’s intent concerning Moon exploration and exploitation as a ESG digital asset vault. To be very clear, SpaceX directors should understand xNY.io - Bank.org’s work to protect cross-border digital asset innovation was born before Twitter's prospective LBO. Our concern specific to the intent of Twitter’s LBO deal makers is party to our work in New York to usurp Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase board directors who may be potentially engaged in similar market manipulation referenced here: 1. xNY.io - Bank.org | DOJ Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement. 2. xNY.io - Bank.org | Memo #2 - JPMorgan Chase Board of Directors ESG Marketplace Manipulation. 3. xNY.io - Bank.org’s work also includes research into oil and nickel marketplace manipulation as an ESG concern. The Twitter LBO includes Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase operating as deal advisors. As referenced above, claims of Twitter robot scams and claims of Tesla ESG scams display a pattern of questionable intent. xNY.io - Bank.org asks SpaceX to clarify your board's intent concerning the Moon and any connection to USDD (now in Moon phase). SpaceX directors may agree that the Moon can also be defined as one of the most valuable ESG digital asset vaults known to modern humanity. Protecting the Moon from explo8itation is fundamental to Space exploration. SpaceX is party to any potential Twitter deal maker advisors that may exercise questionable intent risking the Moon’s ESG vault potential. xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned with interlocking directorate syndicates that include SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, Goldman Sachs and BitGo. This setup breeds a galaxy of third and fourth party risk(s) at the demise of pure cross-border digital asset innovation. Twitter robots are not the focus of the Orlando Police Department Pension Fund, who suggests that Twitter’s LBO is suspected of questionable intent as potentially illegal. - Mr. Musk’s ingenuity as an entrepreneur is historic and greatly respected as a model inside our organization. As a Gates Scholar and Blockchain Scholar holding international law distinction(s) The concept of the Moon being an ESG digital asset vault is logic USDD seemingly embodies. - For obvious reasons, we seek SpaceX’s board to confirm if the intent behind your CEO’s Twitter LBO and Tesla ESG claims and if SpaceX is party to a USDD type matter given your syndicate’s close association with USDP. xNY.io - Bank.org kindly asks the SpaceX Corporation board of directors to respond within 15 days of receipt of this correspondence. Default in the form of no response within 15 days is not an extortion technique on our part. Rather, it is a design benefit in disclosing our intent post 15 days to ask for approval to engage New York’s False Claims Act in response to SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal and Meta interlocking directors potentially engaging in digital asset marketplace manipulation (exemplified by USDP and USDD) that may exploit Space and Moon exploration at xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC’s overall expense.

March 24, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Meta Platforms, Inc. Board of Directors 1601 Willow Road Menlo Park, CA 94025 United States Investor(a)FB.com Re: USPTO, Digital Assets and Moscow Exchange Dear Meta Board of Directors: Today’s memo is to kindly submit xNY.io’s overall concern of Meta Platforms, Inc. and Moscow Exchange mark similarities, specifically, both marks seemingly resemble a geometric design consisting of two loops and/orovals touching or intersecting. See here: xNY.io asks not whether the first work would damage the market for the second (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or criticism), but whether it usurps the market by offering a competing substitute, potentially causing significant damage to digital asset purity and blockchain software technology innovation. 1. The Moscow Exchange operates Russia's central securities depository, the National Settlement Depository, and the country's largest clearing service provider, the National Clearing Centre. 2. Meta Platforms recently filed USPTO applications from the international jurisdiction of Jamaica, seeking mark approval of a geometric design consisting of two loops and/or ovals touching or intersecting and/or other bands, lines or bars. 3. Meta Platforms suggests bonafide intention to use the mark in commerce, on or in connection with the identified goods and services such as financial transaction processing services relating to tokens, blockchain assets, cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets. With all due respect, Meta’s Board may understand xNY.io cannot logically accept that the recent USPTO applications are not a marketplace manipulation exercise at xNY.io’s overall expense. Meta’s Board must ask itself, to the best of its knowledge, information, and belief, if further inquiry is reasonable under the circumstances? - xNY.io kindly asks Meta’s Board to recall all eight USPTO trademark applications reported by Cointelegraph on March 23, 2022. xNY.io kindly asks Meta’s Board to confirm the application recalls by Friday, March 25, 2022 at 5:00pm EST. xNY.io’s factual contentions made above have evidentiary support and recognize Moscow Exchange’s approach to threats that stifle individual and corporate freedom.
