PapaPug··on A.G. Schneiderman Launches Inquiry into Cryptocurrency “Exchanges”
The prices of BTC, Ether and XRP have hardly budged today. I find this surprising. Worth watching market prices, especially futures activity around BTC as the story develops. It will take time for the screws to be tightened by AG Schneiderman's team. Note that the questionnaire also focuses on who the major investors / board members are of the exchanges that are the target of this inquiry. As Warren Buffet famously quipped in 2008: "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."
PapaPug··on Clarity Money Acquisition
Goldman Sachs just purchased Clarity Money, an early stage FinTech company. GS is making a bigger push into the consumer finance / financial planning space via its “Marcus” on line platform. Does anyone have any further intel on what the terms of this deal were? Further, does anyone know why Adam Dell, the founder of CM, was willing to exit now?
