State of the World from NPR - Ukrainian soldiers speak bluntly about the challenges they face

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - New Bill Would Make Ticketing Illinois Students Illegal

A $200 ticket for truancy. A $175 fine for having a vape pen. A $450 ticket for disorderly conduct. In schools across Illinois, students are being ticketed and fined for minor offenses that previously may have warranted a trip to the principal’s office or detention.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CRYPTO CROOKS: Lunacy Episode 2 – Confidence Game

This week we delve into terraUSD’s winners, its losers and the rules of the whole twisted game.

"Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.

TerraUSD and its so-called “ecosystem” were always a game – one only some investors realized they were playing. 

As we fall deeper into the death spiral, we look at the retail investors who were indisputable victims of Do Kwon’s scheme. Many of them lost life savings and even, ultimately, their lives, in the wave of suicides which followed the depeg. We also look at the more complicated role of financial professionals in propping up Do Kwon’s empire, many of whom got out of the racket millions of dollars richer than when they’d gone in. 

After this, two more episodes to come – plus a bonus fifth on the bombshell revelations of a new SEC investment suit against Do Kwon and Terraform labs.
