From deep inside your audio device of choice. Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes you need a permit, sometimes you don't. Pents who you are, and where you are, you know by now I think, if you've been listening to this show for a while, that TePco, the giant, wounded giant power company in Japan that ran the damaged FUK plants, has been accumulating an awful lot of irradiated water, it's water that has gone through the damaged plants and accumulated some Twitter. General Tritium can't get the Tritium out of the water, so, and they have these tanks, you're welcome, full of irradiated water more every day, and so over the last four years TePco has been planning, if not plotting, to dump the irradiated water into the ocean.
You know the ocean is so big, it's a lot of oceans really, when you stop to think about, when you look at a map, okay, and they still haven't done it yet, still going through the motions of checking with everybody, getting permits and trying to calm down the neighboring fishers who are concerned that, you know, they might be catching irradiated fish, and who wants that? But now, we switch our focus to Plymouth Massachusetts. Activists there are angry over the latest message from Holtec. Holtec is the increasingly large business that's in the increasingly large business of decommissioning nuclear power plants. You know, it is Holtec's canisters full of spent fuel that's sitting on the beach near
San Clemente, California, near the, in the midst of decommissioning nuclear power plant there. But this is what they're doing in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the company is decommissioning the Pilgrim nuclear power station, and guess what Holtec wants to do? Dump radioactive wastewater into Cape Cod Bay. It insists it's safe and legal, and if you can't believe Holtec, representative for Holtec says it's now working with the EPA to amend its permits, so it can dump the wastewater. Apparently, they hadn't thought of that when they applied for the permits. You know, get the rods out of there, and oh yeah, dump the wastewater. The plant has been shut down since 2019. More than one million gallons of radioactive
wastewater is in pools inside the plant. During a meeting this week, Holtec senior compliance manager, does your company have one of those mine doesn't? That says the company believes it is already legally allowed to dump the water. The EPA has signaled that the amending the permit may be the smoothest road ahead, as opposed to contesting the issue in court. When asked if there would be no discharge of the water prior to the resolution of the permit issue, the senior compliance manager said, quote, I can't say that. He said tests taken seven years ago show the radio activity is well below federal limits. And he said Holtec has dumped in the bay in the past without any issues. Perhaps that's because nobody knew. Except Holtec. Hello, welcome to the show.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you know, I believe that French President Macron late this week paid a one-day visit to New Orleans, supposedly he liked what he saw. Me too. From New Orleans to Louisiana, I'm Harry Scherer welcoming you to this edition of the show, and now ladies and gentlemen.
Well, continuing our theme of water, who knew? Who knew we had a thing? I just figured it out myself. Officials announced that Cotera. This is in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, Cotera formerly known as Cabot Oil and Gas, and are to plea this week in relation to water pollution charges. The United Attorney General, newly elected Josh Shapiro, says the company pleaded no contest 14 criminal counts related to water pollution problems in many homes, namely in Daimock, Pennsylvania, the plea forces Cotera to pay $16.5 million towards a new water line in the county, as well as pay the water bill for people affected for the next 75 years. I don't want to be checking in on that from time to time. The documentary gas land, travel to Daimock, to highlight the pollution affecting the area and one striking scene, one resident was able to light his water on fire.
Sounds like something Jim Morrison would have done. Shapiro said this plea is a reversal for the company. They've denied any wrongdoing for the past 14 years. Despite testing which revealed the pollution was related to the company's fracking. For late comers, that's a form of oil drilling, which involves shattering, shale formations to release the gas trapped within. And there's more that's worse. Residents of Daimock avoided far too long for the clean water. Pennsylvania's constitution is supposed to guarantee all of us. This is a quote. Today Cotera took full responsibility for the crimes that the previous company, Cabot committed committed that polluted residents water under the historic settlement. Cotera will now pay to build a new public water line that will provide clean, reliable drinking water. For generations to come, unquote, attorney general Josh Shapiro. Residents of Daimock were told their water would be clean again in the next few years.
That was a while back, according to the attorney general, the issue still persists a decade later. Hard to keep that water clean when you got that fracking going on, isn't it? What the frack? And now. Is a smart world after all is a smart world after all is a smart world. Ireland has a data protection commission. Did you know. They just hit Meta, formerly Facebook, with about $276 million fine after a data leak a year and a half ago exposed the information of more than 500, 3, 533 million users.
The Data Protection Commission of Ireland started the investigation shortly after news of a leak broke and evolved an examination into whether Facebook complied with Europe's data protection regulation laws. You know, the GDPR, the leak information was posted to an online hacking forum and included the full names, phone numbers, locations, and birth dates of users on the platform from 2018 to 2019, according to the Verge. At the time Meta, the new name for Facebook, you're not fooling me, it's still Facebook, said the bad actor obtained the information through a vulnerability to the company fixed in 2019 and this was the same information involved in a prior leak reported by Motherboard in January of 2021. This was the third fine, the Irish Data Protection Agency imposed on Meta this year. Never met a fan I didn't like.
In March, the DPC fine met $18.6 million for bad record keeping in relation to a series of 2018 data breaches that exposed the information of up to 30 million Facebook users. The European regulator also slapped Meta with a $402 million fine in September following an investigation into Instagram's handling of teenager's data. Well, that's got to be safe. It has been fined nearly $700 million by the Data Protection Commission of Ireland just this year and that doesn't include the $267 million fine that WhatsApp, owned by Meta, incurred for violating Europe's data privacy laws last year. Racking up the fines. It looks like progress, doesn't it? Data is reportedly trying to plug its drop in advertising revenues by concocting a series
of inducements to convince some brands that have paused, spending on the platform, convince them to reopen their wallets, according to the register. In one mailer that was dispatched to advertising agencies seen by the Financial Times, the troubled social media biz, i.e. Twitter, said it was scheduled to roll out the largest advertiser incentives ever this month, pledging additional impressions. I don't do pledging additional impressions depending on the level of budget to use. Twitter reportedly said it would mirror the spending of clients to pay at least half a million dollars. With a ceiling limit of a million per advertiser, customers forking over 350,000 were told they'd get 50% value add, into getting the extra impressions valued at half the amount they spend. The mail also included a tier for those with only a $200,000 budget.
They can have a 25% value add. This was backed up by a separate email to agencies that included the same offers to US advertisers that have slight modifications for advertisers in the UK, willing to risk a brush with the current Twitter chaos. How can it be chaos? Musk is in charge. According to writers, the author is only valid for advertising that runs before the end of 2022, since his purchase of Twitter at the close of October forced by a contract he was trying to get out of. Musk has been seemingly doing everything in his power to alienate advertisers, which nutty are believed to account for about 90% of Twitter's revenue before they started fleeing the scene. Calls from advertising groups encouraging their customers to leave Twitter came within days of Musk's takeover, largely driven by a spike in racist language, and fears that
Twitter wouldn't be able to assure brand safety for its advertiser since then brands including Pfizer, General Mills, United Airlines, and Apple have all cut back or stopped advertising on the platform. Where's the safety they cry? The situation for advertisers was made even worse when Twitter rolled out its short-lived pay for verification scheme. That allowed anyone who subscribed to Twitter blue for $8 a month to get a blue verification check mark, which verifies that they paid $8.00. Brand and celebrity impersonation? Oh no, not that, began almost immediately, causing actual damage for some insulin maker Eli Lilly, Tom? Uh, insulin maker Eli Lilly. So close. Reportedly lost billions of dollars when it's billions of dollars. Yeah, when its stock dropped 6% after a Twitter troll said the company would make insulin free.
The chaos has continued since then only a few days ago as you probably know Musk picked a fight with Apple for slashing its ad spending. Yes, I'm going to say spending not spend on Twitter. Two days later, Apple's CEO Tim Cook had a little chat with Musk, describing the meeting between the pair as a good conversation. Musk clarified Apple had no plans to pull Twitter from the App Store as he had charged striking an almost meek tone for the richest man in the world. At the, as of the end of November, it's estimated Twitter ad revenue is down 15% weekly bookings of advertising down by a whopping 49%. Is the incentive program going to work, according to ad industry leaders interviewed by the financial
times its doubtful clients simply aren't willing to take the risk when said another predicted the incentives will have exactly zero impact, exactly zero, like somebody who speaks in good round numbers. This now from Binance, part of the smart, smart, smart world, it's a blog of a crypto exchange called Binance, the blog is called the Binance blog, as a leading player in crypto. We understand we have a responsibility to lead the charge when it comes to protecting consumers and rebuilding the industry. That's why we've established the industry recovery initiative, the IRI, a new co-investment opportunity for organizations eager to support the future of Web 3. I'm going to interrupt the quote just to say, co-investment opportunity means you could
give us some money. Now back to the blog, key facts about the industry recovery initiative, it is not an investment fund to access investment opportunities that come through the IRI application process. This participant is required to set aside committed capital, those are funds, it can be in stablecoins or other tokens, within public addresses to ensure transparency, each participant including Binance will review investment opportunities and make investment decisions independently of each other on a deal-by-deal basis. We recognize that traditional financial institutions may want to participate but we're unable to send money, but they are unable to send money to a public address, we're open to exploring other deal structures under the broader theme of the IRI with such institutions who may be keen.
We anticipate this initiative will last about six months and will be flexible on the investment structure. We expect individual situations to require tailored solutions, each participant can withdraw any remaining unused funds from public addresses at the end of the initiative. Initially Binance will commit one billion US dollars to IRI themed investment opportunities with an intent to ramp up that amount to two billion in the near future if the need arises, just trying to keep the boat afloat. We've already received around 150 applications from companies seeking support under the IRI co-investor, within it will have the opportunity to review potential deals and decide for themselves whether they wish to participate.
The mandate of this new-everdive support, the most promising and highest quality companies and projects built by the best technologists and entrepreneurs that through no fault of their own are facing significant short-term financial difficulties. What makes this initiative unique is the collaborative approach to restoring confidence in Web 3. We'll be looking for projects characterized by innovation and long-term value creation, a clearly delineated, enviable business model, and a laser focus on risk management. Yes, that's what's new, a laser focus on risk management. This sounds like Web 4. Aside from funding support, we plan to provide founders and projects with comprehensive support from formation, technical execution, fundraising, and more, so they can emerge and grow stronger from this crypto-winter.
That's what this is, ladies and gentlemen, crypto-winter. That's because the prices of the tokens have to use a technical term tumbled. And pop star Justin Bieber started off this year purchasing his first board ape yacht club NFT. Remember those? For 500 Ethereum, that's a blockchain currency equivalent to 1.3 million, but they market value or price floor for individual NFTs from the board ape collection has tanked to $70,000 to recently, that's a 95% drop in value according to the data from the NFT price floor revealed by insider.
Sinking NFT prices follow the collapse of crypto exchange giant FTX, you know, the Sam Bankster fraud scandal, it lowered overall crypto prices and hurt NFT valuations. That's because NFT owners panic sold them to avoid prices from dropping even further, that's according to a report from crypto news site decrypt. Where's decrypt? You're standing in a board ape, comprises more than 10,000 NFTs depicting cartoon monkeys wearing different outfits, it's one of the most successful NFT art collections, once valued at more than 1 billion to what happened before the crypto crash, board apes, NFT prices peaked at about half a million dollars in late April. That was in response to hype around the use of NFT land plots for its personal metaverse
platform, other side, since NFT sales of dipped its prices have fallen by 82%. Other NFT collections are facing lower values, crypto punks down by 37%, DeGods never heard of that one, by 66% according to Forbes. While Bieber never specified why he purchased an NFT, some critics speculate that celebrities buy NFTs as a state assemble. Hmm, I could use some status. As a way to flaunt their wealth and exclusive purchases, talk Joe Hose Jimmy Fallon, model Paris Hilton, and rapper Snoop Dogg and M&M, also own board ape NFTs. Not envying them so much anymore, are we?
It's a smart, smart, smart, smart, smart world. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a note worthy edition of this broadcast. It's today marks the 39th anniversary of the first Lichot, hitting the airwaves and the airwaves, of course, hitting back. 39 anniversaries don't normally merit much attention, but as some of you might know, I began my, as we call it in America, my journey through show business at the mentorship of one of the great American comedians of the 20th century Jack Benny, and part of his stick, aside from pretending to be a miser, and a guy who fancied himself a better violin player than we heard, although these were made up, he was a fine violin player and he was
a very generous man. But you know, the, the, the stick, the persona, and another part of it was that he refused to acknowledge his advancing age, insisting, always, he was just 39. And as I say, I start my career under his mentorship. So the number 39 has outside, outside significance for me. And so this is the 39th anniversary of the show. Really, okay, all right, and being told we have a call in the newsmaker line. So I was just rambling anyway. Let's take the call. Hello. You're on the show. Hello. This is Donald. And I just, I just wanted to congratulate you, Harvey Harry, Harry, on your 39 and 39th anniversary of Lee Show.
It's an amazing accomplishment and accomplishments are always amazing. Wow. Thank you, sir. I'm amazed that you were aware of the show and wanted to express those sentiments. Well, I originally wasn't and now, of course, I'm running for president, and it's incumbent upon me, especially since I should be the incumbent, as you know, to take note of notable accomplishments, wherever they may be, and clean whatever I can from that. Is there a telling me you're proud to talk to a Jew? Excuse me, who was that? That's a friend of a Yeesh, who's over here for coffee at Mara Lago, and it's a good coffee.
I didn't catch his name. Howard Himmler, yeah. Can he hear me, or are we on the speakerphone over there? Howard, it sounds like a name that you may have changed at some point in your life. Yeah, how did you know? It just sounded like an unusual name. Yeah, it was Howard Himmler, but I changed it. Why? It sounded too on the nose. It brings a bell with me. Listen, anyway, I've got a lot of these to do. You'd be amazed how many people are celebrating something every friggin' day. So, congratulations again, Harry. All the best for another 39, Jesus, I wouldn't want to be doing that. Well, and thanks, you know, and remember, come 2024, remember you got this call. Okay, thanks so much for being on our NewsMaker line today. Yeah.
Thanks for your kind thoughts, and Howard. Yeah. Bye. Little Stormy was a handful, despite all the hype. I paid a load of truck change, but no way was she my type. Now, when anybody asked me, I don't care if I upset her, but this, I could tell you, I never even had her. One Kelly was a chief of staff, like I needed one of those. I never liked his manner, I was creeped out by his clothes.
Now he's talking lots of trash, I probably should sue him, and here's the beauty part. I never even knew him. Gracie Rudy was the mayor of my personal hometown, when I was helping that ground zero. I didn't see him around. He offered help with the Russian thing, so I told my staff, okay, let it. He's not my real warrior anyway.
Hi, you don't think I ever met him. My wife was such a lovely girl, the kind of immigrant I approved. She saw her first at a modeling gig, then I made my trademark move. Now she's raising my last son, at big events you can view her. I'm sure she's a very fine person too, too bad. I never knew her, I never knew her. From New Orleans, this is La Show, and now...
News of the Olympic Movement. The former Chief of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee expressed concern this week that a widening corruption scandal related to last year's event, the Tokyo Olympics, which may negatively affect Sepuro's bid, does the 2030 Winter Games. Quote, it seems very severe, unquote, Seiko Hashimoto. An Olympic medalist turned legislator. He told that to reporters when asked how a series of revelations have suspected wrongdoing regarding test events for the Tokyo Games could affect efforts by the Northern Japan
City to host a Winter Games. Hashimoto, who also served as the country's Olympic Minister, said it's important to get to the bottom of the allegations as soon as possible so Sepuro can proceed in its campaign to host the 2030 event. Hokkaido hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics. It's also in Japan. Japanese authorities launched a full investigation earlier this year into allegations of accepting bribes in the selection of Olympic and Paralympic sponsors and of rigging the bidding process for companies to get involved in test events for the Games. That sent shockwaves through post-Olympics Japan. They know something about shockwaves. The significance and value of the Tokyo Games have come into question, said Hashimoto, who became Chief of the organizing committee months ahead of the Games. He succeeded former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori.
He resigned after making sexist remarks. It's a movement, and we all need one every day! And now in the latest discovery on where microplastics might be found on this planet of ours, tiny pieces of plastic, according to MedScape.com, are now being detected in the water that forms on plant leaves. This is a discovery that shows how prevalent microplastics are in our ecosystems. According to biologists at Slovakia's University of Presov, Tizel plants, I said Tizel plants have unique leaves that grow on the stem above each other in several levels. So as they clasp the stem, they form cup-like structures that collect fresh water, known as Telmata. Telmata.
Telmata, you're going out for dinner. Little water puddles that form in Tizel leaf axles create short-term aquatic microcosms, known as Tizel Phytotelamata. You got it so far? A close look at the makeup of these water puddles, determined that they contained differently-colored fragments and fibers, which were identified as microplastics. No nearby source of plastics where they were growing, so it was believed that microplastics most came from polluted atmosphere. The first findings of microplastics in small short-term water reservoirs created by plants is just further evidence that contamination from microplastics spreads through various pathways and poses a potential threat to the plants themselves, as well as organisms bound to them by ecological relations. Just one word, microplastics.
Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. My heart is full of fiber and illusion of the front of my head. And I'm going to have an illusion of power, dream, stupidness. Just one word, microplastics.
Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics. Just one word, microplastics.
I had to turn on the citizens and on the magical wind their sounds and what a stupidity for being razors and my вмension but at night and thirsty I was scared none of my time was yet scared I remember you once fre 43 Now ladies and gentlemen, the Apologies to the Week.
Hey, you want big names on the radio? We've got a big name apology for you this week. Bob Dylan. How big is that? He'd rather have Megan trainer. Bob Dylan has issued a rare public statement to apologize for using a machine to duplicate his signature on books and artworks since 2019. The star said he regretted making an quote error of judgment, unquote, and allowing the works to be sold as
hand signed. He said he'd started using an auto pen after developing a vertigo in 2019. That can wreck your hands, can it? Vertigo. The issue came to light when fans who bought $600 limited edition copies of Dylan's book. The philosophy of modern song compared photos of a signature. The publisher Simon and Schuster initially refused requests for refunds, assuring buyers at the signatures were legitimate and validated by a quote letter of authenticity, unquote. After continued pressure, publishers admitted the books contained a pen replica of the star's autograph, offering full refunds to everyone who had bought one of the 900 supposedly hand signed editions. The rile also raised questions over Dylan's artworks, prints of which can sell up to $15,000.
Why that's as much as a board ape. In a statement released this week, the singer-songwriter admitted some of those had also been signed by machine. I've hand signed each and every art print over the years and there's never been a problem he wrote. However, in 2019, I had a bad case of vertigo and continued the pandemic years. It takes a crew of five working in quotes quarters with me to help enable those signing sessions and we could not find a safe and workable way to complete what I needed to do while the virus was raging. So during the pandemic, it was impossible to sign anything and the vertigo didn't help with contractual deadlines looming. The idea of using an auto pen was suggested to me along with the assurance that this kind of thing is done all the time in the art and literary worlds. I use a machine with an error in judgment and I want to rectify it immediately. I'm working with Simon and Schuster and my gallery partners to do just that.
Unquote Bob Dylan. Thanks for dropping by. You want big names, big name apologies. How about Lady Susan Hussie, Queen Camilla's former right-hand woman and Prince William's godmother? She caused quite a stir at the Queen consort's violence against women and girls reception and the royal family is now apologizing for her actions. What happened? Gozy Fulani is the director East London charity Sister Space. She attended the Buckingham Palace event as Camilla's guest. Lady Susan Hussie approached her. She repeatedly and aggressively asked Gozy where she was from because she's black refusing to accept the fact that she's British and was born in the United Kingdom. No, but where do you read it come from? Where do you people come from?
What part of Africa are you from? Gozy reflected it was such a shock to me and the other two women we were stunned to temperate silence. I just stood in the room smile and engaged briefly with who spoke to me until I got leave. Following the tweet Buckingham Palace released a statement apologizing for this incident. We take this incident extremely seriously and have investigated immediately to establish the full details in this instance unacceptable, deeply regrettable comments have been made. We've reached out to gozy Fulani on this matter and right here to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes. Unquote the Buckingham Palace spokesperson and Lady Susan Hussie the former lady in waiting to the queen has a resigned from her role as Camilla's companion.
The individual concerned said the palace. You know the talking palace would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and is stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect. Bam! On behalf of the Colombian state that would be the country of Colombia the president Gustavo Petro apologized this week to the victims of the massacres committed by paramilitaries in La Granja and El Arro described them as genocides in which the state took part either by action or omission. Quote on behalf of the Colombian state I asked the victims for forgiveness the Colombian state recognizes that the people killed were not enemies of anyone. They were humble and hardworking people who were killed for no reason the state was present at their deaths and was complicit in the murders he said. Those statements occurred during
an event that took place at the Museum of Memory. What a good idea! Where Colombians recalled the massacres occurred in these two hamlets La Granja in 1996 and El Arro in 1997. The Colombian state killed its own citizens Petro said recalling that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights blamed the Colombian state in 2006 for those killings and required it to investigate the facts to find and prosecute those responsible. Petro also regretted that public recognition of what happened took more than 16 years to arrive. Babe! We got excuses for forgetting that are older than that. He promised to do everything possible so the Colombian state compensates the victims of the violence committed by the united self-defense forces of Colombia. Those were paramilitary militias which operated when former president Alvaro Uribe
was the governor of the state in question. The president's tweet continued, our courts were not capable of judging the murders. We must tell the world that the Colombian state was by action or emission a murderous state. What happened in Colombia was a genocide that must be judged. Unquote Colombian president Petro. Dayline Flathead County Montana. The local library director Ashley Cummins apologized to the library's board of directors this week following the public revelation of her application for another job in Oregon after she had a stressful first few months in her Montana position. Even in the Montana position, don't you? I think it's in the bow-biden materials. Cummins addressed trustees during her report at their December board meeting. Cummins was recruited for a director's position in seaside Oregon.
She described the library where she was then currently employed, a mansion if as becoming a flashpoint amid worsening culture wars. She said it had been a stressful time in Flathead County. Then at the boards December 1st meeting, Cummins said the job opportunity in Oregon did not work out and she wanted to apologize for how the then the Oregon newspaper painted the Flathead school board in a very bad light. Contrary to popular belief, the board is kind of low on my list of those reasons for finding the job difficult. It's just been a lot so I wanted to kind of apologize to you all. Not y'all, she's in Montana. Do you have any idea who the liver king is?
I didn't. After denying using steroids for months, the liver king has admitted he is currently and has in the past been on steroids revealing the details in a brand new apology video. He's a popular fitness coach, real name Brian Johnson, best known as liver king. So to me, not known at all, has become a notable figure only thanks to his motivational videos and extreme workouts and diet content. However, since being catapulted into the public eye, much discussion has been had about whether or not he's natural or take some sort of steroid supplements. A late email from last month revealed his current cycle of fitness enhancement drugs, totally over, totaling over $10,000 worth of anabolic steroids per month. The news took the world by storm, really? My world was storm free. Many claiming it'd be more of a
surprise of the massive bodybuilder didn't take steroids. Now that the steroid use has been made public knowledge, liver king chose to upload an apology video to his YouTube channel, explaining why he lied and expressing his regret at not admitting the truth sooner. Quote, I'm making this video to apologize because I effed up because I'm embarrassed and ashamed because I lied and I misled a lot of people. Before social media, I was rich and anonymous and after social media, I'm still rich but no longer anonymous and I never experienced this kind of exposure in the public eye. It's been tricky as F to navigate. Clearly, I did it wrong and I'm here now to set the record straight. Yes, I've done steroids and yes, I am on steroids monitored and managed by trained hormone clinicians. Liver king, the public figure, was an experiment to spread a message. He said, the messaging being to raise awareness for the high suicide rates that plague the world in relation to young men who struggle with depression
and low motivation. He added, I've been on several podcasts and when asked if I've ever taken steroids, I've always said, no, I don't touch this stuff. Not going to stuff the stuff that never going to touch this stuff. That was a lie. Unquote. Liver king lied. I continually dismissed and dug myself into a deeper and deeper hole. I have only myself to blame. I did that and it was all wrong. I will be better. I will talk about it openly. I'm as sorry as a man can be and all I can do is take extreme ownership right now. Is he as sorry as a woman can be though? That's the question we're left with. Sam Bankman Fried apologized to an FTX user this week. He was said he had lost two million dollars after the crypto exchange. FTX went bankrupt. He was interviewed at the New York Times
Dealbook Summit where he was described as crypto king. I wonder if he's ever met liver king. And Ross Sorkin shared this email from a gentleman who said he lost his life savings. He had his subject land. Sam Bankman Fried stole two million dollars from me. Please ask him if he thinks what happened was fraud. Sorkin said what do you tell his man? Said banks to fraud at Bankman Fried. I'm deeply sorry about what happened. He added the FTX US platform was still fully funded and he believed withdrawals could be opened up today. He blamed an all out PR assault which led to a total market collapse in a pretty short period of time. Sorkin raised the question of money being mixed between Alameda a trading outfit and FTX an exchange
supposed to have separate money but they're both owned by Sam. None of the digital assets in your account are the property of shall be loaned to FTX trading. Said the terms of service that the email guy had mentioned. Bankman Fried eventually said I didn't knowingly commingle funds. He doesn't think he's criminally liable for FTX's explosion. But he's sorry. He's sorry even more because it's not criminal. And the police chief of Tampa Florida is apologizing as asking for a disciplinary review of herself. After she flashed her badge to get out of a stop for traveling in a golf card without a license plate. She and her hubby were tuteling around a development outside a golf course
but you need a license plate to tutel around the development. That's the latest development the apologies of the week a copyrighted feature this broadcast. Ladies and gentlemen that's going to include this
