Please find the attached memo with reference footnotes. -- March 10, 2023 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Ms. Camille Joseph Varlack Office of the Mayor of New York City City Hall Park, 260 Broadway New York, NY 10007 United States PressOffice(a)CityHall.NYC.gov Re: Mayor Eric Adams NYCCoin Touting Dear Ms. Joseph Varlack: Today’s memo is to kindly submit xNY.io - Bank.org's inquiry into Mayor Eric Adams' promotion of NYCCoin. 1. The federal securities laws are clear that any celebrity or individual who promotes digital assets must disclose the nature, source and amount of compensation they received in exchange for the promotion. 2. As a matter of ethics, risk and compliance associated with digital asset innovation, xNY.io asks if NYCCoin promotion by the Mayor of New York City damaged the market for the xNY digital asset (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or sealed via embossed criticism). 3. xNY.io - Bank.org concerns made above have evidentiary support to interlocking director and officer conflicts recognized by the Department of Justice as potential threats that stifle individual and corporate freedom. Ms. Joseph Varlack, as a matter relating to working at one of the world's most ethical companies, famous for risk management and corporate governance, and as an internationally recognized Blockchain Scholar, I must adhere to federal securities laws. - As such, I classify Mayor Adams as an individual who promoted the digital asset NYCCoin and must disclose the nature, scope, and amount of compensation associated. A failure to disclose this information may violate the anti-touting provisions of the federal securities laws. Mayor Adams' making these endorsements may also be liable for potential violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, for participating in an unregistered offer and sale of securities, and for acting as unregistered brokers. xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully requests the Office of the Mayor of New York City to respond to this request by Wednesday March, 15 2023 by Noon EST.

NY-DFS Superintendent Harris D&O Malpractice - HK Asylum AU Assange Paradox
by Gunnar Larson 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Thu, Dec 5, 2024, 5:37 PM ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Thu, Dec 5, 2024, 5:37 PM Subject: NY-DFS Superintendent Harris D&O Malpractice - HK Asylum AU Assange Paradox To: cypherpunks <cypherpunks(a)lists.cpunks.org> Today, I drafted a creative monograph Christmas message for Asia Feminists. You see, Assange did not seek HK asylum because how the money ran. Ecuador is on the USD, so asylum has pass through insurance. Mr. Assange is now freed back in Australia this Christmas. NY and HK are the world's preeminent digital asset regulatory innovators. 2024 is wrapping up to xNY exhausting another NY regulator. The Lacewell to Harris saga continues... HK has been a jurisdiction for xNY's ambition all along. Disney HK has been a personal best for me to drive next to whilst in HK many moons now ago. Below is a love letter of sorts. There are mistakes and misspellings. Systematic racism is much like a booze crooze: A ship of fools. James, Harris and Larson are black. One is not an attorney. One is product of the United Negro College Fund. One is man. Singular, yet a Feminist. Below is a statistical monograph. See, Microsoft bought LinkedIn. Just like Melinda Gates had that King interview endorsement. To be between Microsoft and LinkedIn is a dream for someone like Gunnar Larson. Already a Gates Scholar you would think DOD Hoffman conflicts extending to BLOOMBERG would be too exotic to handle. ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN was not mentioned in the Melinda Gates interview with King. Harris brand likeness recognition has impacted an election via Systematic racism. But, help is on the way. ATUCHUNG all spelling and grammar mistakes Below ... Anything said here beats Ron and JD in the HK crypto scene. -- xNY is looking to raise $100M for HK digital asset recovery of $1B. Here is the pitch to the one women who can shut me down on Christmas 🎄: ------ Ms. James, Honorable New York Attorney General: HALLELUJAH! Marking it in history, NY-DFS Superintendent Harris is a New York Directors' and Officers success story. This is a dramatic finish to 2024 considering FTX's founder imprisoned at Metropolitan across town as I write Attorney General James. Yes, while Superintendent Harris is likely culpable of STX/POX malpractice, she is not the first, considering her former boss, Ms. Lacewell holding a University of Miami law degree. Attorney General James, we have learned so much from our time with Ms. Lacewell and Cumo, the former Governor. However, xNY.io - Bank.org cannot be certain if the fate should be indifferent for Ms. Harris. Ms. James, the United Negro College Fund partnered with Bill and Melinda Gates to launch Gates Millennium Scholars in 2000. Gunnar Larson (me), Ms. James is one of Bill and Melinda Gates' Millennium Scholars, class of 2003. Ms. James, how does DFS Superintendent Malpractice act and operate like a distance derrivitive to ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN, a Goldman Sachs program? How does the same relate to STX and the protocol POX? Ms. James, finally, how do STX interact with USD, AUD and HKD (derrivitive XXD*) to degradate the purity of Bitcoin? The software behind these systems extract revenue by mass segregation. POX's entire ecosystem is derived as a pyramid. POX then interacts between STX and Bitcoin to exploit the Bitcoin blockchain. New York’s BitLicense is the world's exemplary regulatory regime. Ms. James, Superintendent Harris is the BitLicense regulator of Bitcoin to the worl, according to NYMAG. Attorney General, no one can really foretell how much Superintendent Harris has banked by trading STX while DFS Superintendent. While only at DFS for a short time from Lacewell's resignation ... Harris' Malpractice can be traced to Hong Kong (HK) at OKX, a famous F1 trading house as sponsor. From HK, the OKX platform launched MIA Coin and NYCCoin. OKX potentially laundered STX proceeds from HK to Miami using POX. MIA Coin and NYCCoin were derrivitived in Miami, layering one POX instance ontop of another POX, a program resembling cascading windows. Ms. James, xNY.io is considering a $50M compliance failure claim against OKX in Hong Kong (HK), naming DFS' Harris as potential conspirator against xNY. Jurisdictionally, xNY would need to seek claim recovery in HK, or build a close OKX relationship otherwise. Respectfully, we do not aim to add insult to injury, things only get more complicated for Superintendent Harris with Goldman Sachs' sponsorships of STX in Miami. Harris knew POX tainted monies were sloshing Bitcoin Blockchain purity of STX in Miami. Proof of Miami's FTX Stadium is a STX success story, while Bitcoin purity waned from POX pyramids. Ms. Jams, to make matters more interesting, POX instances can be layered with mutually independent protocol settings. Segregation can be programmed using computer software simply explified by POX protocols. Attorney General James, xNY.io has University D&O research from China that references xNY.io's claim ambitions for HK recovery. Frankly, Ms. James you should ask Superintendent Harris for this D&O research paper, shared several times with Superintendent Harris. Meanwhile, Ms. James, today I contacted FinCEN and Treasury with new Malpracticee of Superintendent Harris fingerprints. Harris' close connections with Goldman Sachs perhaps further inquiry to you as Attorney General. You, Letitia James made history by history launching a fule-to-fire investigation of former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Ms. James, this may shock you: xNY will soon liaise with Mr. Cuomo for another xNY program at Penn Station dubbed 'Atuchung'. No kidding! Getting to the point of this email: As founder of xNY, I ask the Attorney General if Superintendent Harris' oversight has will to post a mega fine (100M+) to the DFS regulated intities culprit to ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN and UNICAF initiatives. I hold a MSc in Digital Currency from Cyprus' UNIC. Ms. James, Goldman Sachs is an Africa investor in UNICAF. Friday, 13 December by 6:00am EST we demand DFS Superintendent Harris' recusal from litigation investment by Mr. Reid Hoffman. No Harris-Hoffman recusal will exasterbate xNY's ambition sto explore additional Malpractice line items in HK asset recovery. New York’s Attorney General is famous for asset innovation, and so are we at xNY.io. Ms. James, Harris' recusal would satisfy xNY's litigation investment conflict with Mr. Hoffman's funding of Adult Survivor's Protection Act litgation by current New York State Governor, Ms. Kathy Hochul. Goldman Sachs does not share xNY's ambitions. B12 and F1 fraud at Goldman Sachs has ripped unnecessary investment from xNY greater than the $1B in FTX legal waived in FTX's historic rise and fall. Ms. Harris' former firm represented FTX to bankruptcy. FTX's founder was imprisoned, with Ms. Harris as regulatory arbitrage loophole to FTX assets. xNY is now forced to pursue all OKX recovery options available in HK. xNY has been credited with exhausting all DFS Avenues with Superintendent Harris without Harris' Hoffman third party investment recusal. xNY will take this notarized recusal for HK third party exploration. xNY holds unique, rare and prudential HK standing. Privileged segregation at SDNY is a Harris conflict wrapped in POX straddling Hong Kong and New York's tri-state. Harris' Regulatory confidence in conflict is a basic Benzentine General's Problem.* xNY exhausted 2024 in SDNY vs HK recovery debate. Harris is no Firewall, w/ Hoffman recusal. DOD PI* SDNY, xNY is probably plausible in deniability to harming any animals in aforementioned. Bank.org is a champion for the North Atlantic Right Whale. A Caribbean winter whale, summering in the Atlantic's North famous feeding grounds. *AU, CY, HK are Bank.org HQ locations, outside Superintendent Harris' New York State oversight of United Nations Headquarters at 42nd and 1st in Manhattan. *UNODC does not share common AU, CY, NY judicial themes. However, UK, HK themes emerge that fit PI standards. *ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN could be a Supreme Court case for white national equality. FTX could lobby rights for HK in sophisticated after the event derrivitive vehicle, option for world wide Syndication. 2025 UN Goals reasults out soon! xNY.io - Bank.org reserves all Interjurisdictional rights. -- Noel, to Attorney General Letitia James! -Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson Founder, xNY.io BA. Journalism and International Relations, BOND, Australia MSc. Digital Currency, UNIC, Cyprus Find us online: http://www.xNY.io -- Post Scripture 1: BLOOMBERG has a documentary of FTX's founder imprisoned at New York's Metropolitan. xNY will seek to buy the FTX founder's claim against BLOOMBERG in the event defamation is proven of FTX's Caribbean Pent House. FTX has substantial injury prospect, only if BLOOMBERG had malicious intent to parallax footage of said Pent House. Post Scripture 2: POX Crimes Against Humanity, systematic computer sofware to segregated Bitcoin Blockchain performance, aka Crypto RICO syndicate. We cannot trust Harris after FTX, forced to flee to Asia Courts seeking justice (HK). Post Scripture 3: Business Casual prudential example. Fort Peter, too can see the 4th air show, for birthday girl America and Mom (SDNY-ID).

Oops, never mind: Ending U.S. participation in the U.N. Human Rights Council and severing funding for the U.N. main agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA.
by Gunnar Larson 29 Mar '25

29 Mar '25

Oops, never mind The White House yesterday *abruptly withdrew the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik* to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations amid fear her departure could weaken the Republican Party’s thin majority in the House of Representatives. The move *leaves a cabinet-level vacancy at the United Nations* as the Trump administration is carrying out large-scale cuts across the world body, ending U.S. participation in the U.N. Human Rights Council and severing funding for the U.N. main agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA. On Feb. 4, Trump also ordered a 180-day review of all international organizations, including the United Nations, to determine whether their activities advance U.S. interests.
