U.S. seeks 15 years for Elizabeth Holmes over Theranos fraud
Nov 12 (Reuters) – Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes should spend 15 years in prison and pay $800 million in restitution to investors defrauded in the blood testing start-up, U.S. prosecutors recommended late on Friday.
The Department of Justice recommendation, made in a court filing, came as Holmes prepares to be sentenced next week.
“Considering the extensiveness of Holmes’ fraud… the sentencing of 180 months’ imprisonment would reflect the seriousness of the offenses, provide for just punishment for the offenses, and deter Holmes and others,” the prosecutors said.
She duped a lot of elite folk. That can’t help.
NYT Essayist with Soros Ties Pushes ‘Climate Reparations’ for ‘Third World Corruptocrats’
A climate extremist tied to billionaire George Soros was grilled online for pushing thinly veiled climate reparations as the world’s elites converge for another United Nations conference in Egypt on the environment.
World Resources Institute (WRI) President Ani Dasgupta exploited the suffering of “millions of people in vulnerable countries” to advocate for climate reparations in a New York Times Nov. 11 essay. To be absolutely clear, emphasized Dasgupta: “It’s not a matter of charity.” Soros funded the WRI’s radical support of climate reparations with $1,053,207 between 2016 and 2019.
The fall of Sam Bankman-Fried is crypto’s Enron moment
The ‘next Warren Buffett’ looks more like Jeff Skilling
In recent weeks, the world’s richest man and his flailing attempts to figure out what to do with Twitter have dominated the news cycle. However, his unhinged management-by-tweets reality show are nothing compared to an almighty tussle between two crypto-bros.
Internet magic money (aka crypto) billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, better known as SBF, is the man behind FTX, a crypto exchange. He seems to have angered fellow magic money billionaire and fremeny, Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ and CEO of the rival exchange Binance. It might have to do with FTX cozying up to regulators to get the regulations beneficial to the FTX but not its rivals.
A Ponzi scheme if ever there was.
Trudeau feeds his ego, dumps 333 million tax dollars on foreigners
Trudeau puts cash behind Indo-Pacific pledges during visit to Southeast Asia summit
PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic and academic ties with Southeast Asia, after decades of sporadic engagement with the region.
“This is a generational shift,” Trudeau told leaders gathered in Phnom Penh for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
“I am announcing concrete investments that are part of our commitment to this relationship,” he said, before listing $333 million in new funding.
What a shitty assed punk. People will be worried whether to heat or eat this winter and Justin is out masturbating with their money.

Mittel-kaput? German industry stares into the abyss
Facing a prolonged energy crisis, many German firms face the unpleasant option of either shutting down or relocating elsewhere.
FRANKFURT — Is this the beginning of the end for German industry?
Europe’s manufacturing powerhouse is set to scrape by this winter thanks to gas reserves built up over the last eight months, avoiding an energy blackout.
But a darker scenario lurks just over the horizon, as high energy prices and lower gas reserves could conspire to trigger a wave of shutdowns among mid-sized companies unable to weather the storm as larger firms with deeper pockets seek safer economic ground in other countries.
Woke multiculturalism is national suicide: Canada is proof
In 1988, Canada officially became a multicultural country. “Did Canada culturally commit suicide?” a Catholic writer now wonders.
“Let’s not be surprised: for some years Canadian elites have dreamed of this scenario, hoping to make Canada a country of one hundred million inhabitants by the end of the century and they have just gone from dream to action”, writes Mathieu Bock-Coté, the sociologist star of French TV. “500,000 immigrants a year correspond to Canada’s vision of itself, a post-national country without an identity. The only identity is his cult of multiculturalism, which it presents as a celebration of diversity, which can even lead ot to pay homage to the niqab. Canada is engaged in an unprecedented ideological experience ”.
Biden’s DOJ raids home of Area 51 researcher, holds girlfriend at gunpoint: report
Joe Biden’s Department of Justice sent agents to raid the homes of Joerg Arnu, a Rachel, Nevada man who runs a website dedicated to information about Area 51. Arnu described the raids as “humiliating” and that the feds “held his girlfriend at gunpoint.”
Local news reporter George Knapp broke the story Thursday on Twitter and wrote, “FBI agents came down hard on the operator of a popular website devoted to all things Area 51-its programs, lore, and legacy. More than a dozen agents served a no-knock warrant on the Rachel, NV home of Joerg Arnu, owner of dreamlandresort.com
The Bank of Canada is warning Canadians to brace for a rough winter
For years now, central banks around the world have helped consumers and businesses weather economic storms. In crisis after crisis, they cut interest rates to help people get through. They printed money and bought bonds to prop up markets.
This time, those same banks are actively making life more difficult.
“I’m sure some of this does feel a bit counterintuitive,” said Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem.
I get the impression Tiff really enjoys his work.

Predatory Unions planned insurrection to counter Ford’s use of notwithstanding clause
Unions planned nationwide protests to counter Ford’s use of notwithstanding clause
Before Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he would rescind his use of the notwithstanding clause to ban an education union from striking, labour leaders discussed a potential nationwide protest that would have temporarily shut down not just the province’s auto plants, but the country’s ports and even the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island.
In the end, the full-scale show of force never happened. It was called off last Monday after Mr. Ford and his Education Minister, Stephen Lecce, decided they would back down.
Sounds like an insurrection to me.

Amazon’s new ‘Sparrow’ robot threatens to take warehouse worker jobs
Amazon unveiled its new ‘Sparrow’ sorting robot that could soon replace some human workers in its warehouses.
The robot is designed to identify and sort specific products along Amazon’s fulfillment line, a task that previously could only be done by humans.
“Sparrow is the first robotic system in our warehouses that can detect, select, and handle individual products in our inventory,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement alongside the product’s debut during Amazon’s Delivering The Future conference near Boston on Thursday.
Canada Has Become A Hotbed For Low-Wage Foreign Labour Under Trudeau … Amazon Biggest User
… But since Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals have come to power, the country has doubled down on its use of foreign labour. At the end of 2021, more than 775,000 people from abroad had temporary work permits, an increase of 92 per cent from 2015, and 600 per cent from 2000.
Behind-the-scenes moments are being revealed at the Emergencies Act inquiry. Will they add up to a story Canadians can support?
… So how much closer are Canadians to an answer to the big question: was the federal government justified in invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time?
The answer is, they’re not close to an answer. Or maybe not yet.
