I can’t confirm or deny this… The SEC has ended its decades-old “no-deny” policy that barred settling defendants from publicly disputing SEC allegations, significantly shifting enforcement settlement practice and expanding defendants’ ability to challenge the SEC’s claims after settling.
Why is so little written about the aftermath of investment crazes??? 50% of SPACs from the SPAC boom never found acquisition targets and were forced to liquidate, and 85% of the ones that closed on their target failed (many lost 90% of their value).
“Short people got no reason to”… Citron Research founder Andrew Left, one of Wall Street’s best-known activist short sellers, was convicted on 13 securities-fraud-related counts after prosecutors said he used influential stock reports and media appearances to move share prices before rapidly trading for profit.
Well, if researchers say so… A biotech startup called Bexorg is using donated human brains recovered hours after death and connected to its BrainEx life-support system to preserve cellular and metabolic activity for drug testing, while researchers say the brains remain incapable of consciousness despite ongoing ethical debate – total capital raised to date: $42.5 million.
“Bang, zoom, straight to the moon”!!! Nasdaq just adopted a fast-entry rule to accelerate SpaceX’s inclusion in the Nasdaq-100, as the company plans a roughly $75 billion IPO despite a 2025 GAAP loss, and skeptics are warning that retail investors are at risk from unrealistic valuation metrics, manipulation, forced buying, and deliberate SEC inaction.

Partners Group announced that redemption requests for its flagship evergreen private-equity fund reached 9.8% of net asset value, triggering a redemption gate and signaling that liquidity pressures previously seen in private-credit funds may now be spreading into private equity.
“Privacy is power”!!! Zcash, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, disclosed a critical vulnerability discovered with help from Claude that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit ZEC creation, and because of Zcash’s privacy features developers could not determine whether the flaw was exploited – the token price fell 43% after the disclosure, but has recovered and is now down 33% from pre-disclosure.
Weaker than what??? Cardano, a blockchain platform that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications, fell sharply as founder Charles Hoskinson warned that the crypto market shakeout could trigger a wave of failures across weaker crypto projects.
