Income and net worth matters when qualifying as an investor. Single investors need $200K income over the past two years. Married couples filing jointly need $300K combined income. Or, a net worth of $1M+, excluding primary residence equity. We break down the requirements and...

The SEC doesn't know how to regulate a company with no CEO The IRS doesn't know how to tax an entity with no address Banks don't know how to serve a business with no humans But crypto doesn't care Zero human companies will emerge...
Must Read: Important new blog on what the SCOTUS tariff ruling does and does not actually change by @KClausing Obstfeld @PIIE
Exactly. Strong and important from NYT Editorial Board: “The investigation becomes the punishment, forcing media companies to spend millions on legal defenses and deterring them from publishing material that the Trump administration does not like.” 1/2

In the 1990s, a legal assistant managed deadlines, documents, and court dates without a single productivity app. No fancy dashboards. No 47 tabs open. No endless notifications. Just a brutally simple system that worked. Maybe the problem isn’t that we need better tools. Maybe we need...
Ticketmaster - LiveNation has got to be the leading candidate for a return of the Standard Oil style breakup (i.e., the dissolution of an anticompetitive merger)
Yikes. If this is true, then it’s both pretty ingenious and supremely negligent. I wonder what percentage of users have done a code audit of Openclaw. And what other fun ToS-voiding surprises lurk in there.
I spoke with DAT’s leadership tonight. They clarified that the language was not as clear in the Terms and Conditions as it should have been and that it was not intended for fleets. They told me they have not filed...
News: Paramount is investigating a litigation threat against its president Jeff Shell by a man with an *interesting* background who claims to have represented Shell as a consultant and now says Shell disclosed confidential company information to him. This is...
If you are a small fleet that has struggled to get another factor because of a UCC filed by DAT, you should report it to the Federal Trade Commission.
There are nearly no good reasons for an AI to ever impersonate a human. Making that illegal in as many countries as possible, and improving state capacity to enforce it, would be a good trial balloon for human civilization's ability to...

The fact that I need to stop working on moving deals forward for a few minutes and draft four (4) commission agreements ... is a good sign

Anthropic is guilty of stealing training data at massive scale and has had to pay multi-billion dollar settlements for their theft. This is just a fact.
Google proxy Chamber of Progress has really unleashed on Meta over its debate on the right and wrong way to protect children from harm. Playing out in LA, New Mexico and NdCal courts. Making it all about age-gating rather than...
Online News Act is a “trade irritant “to Google and Meta, and govt carrying its water, but it’s a “game changer” for a free and plural press living with a massive imbalance in bargaining power - now in the case...

The Clarity Act, promoted as good for crypto, is actually a win for banks. It allows them to enter the crypto space while keeping any interest earned, effectively regulating stablecoin companies and preventing them from offering interest. #CryptoRegulation #ClarityAct #IvanClips...
No Cheap Squeeze-Outs: My Process Letter to the Weedmaps Board The settlement AIP cleared the path for insiders to strike. With a renewed take-private looking imminent before the proxy, I just served formal notice to the $MAPS Special Committee. See full presentation,...
It's only Monday and I've already heard 2 people refer to a "clean" environmental. There is no such thing. It's just a casual way of describing an environmental site assessment that ostensibly has no issues or concerns. But not only is it misleading,...
What letter grade does my audience of lawyers and law students assign to the #SCOTUS opinions in the tariffs case? The pick of the plurality is where I end up (for reasons given in my analysis of the ruling). LINK: https://t.co/6HIRtu5Cha https://t.co/Q1m3W3MmMQ
The key deadline your company needs to be aware of to make sure you're eligible for tariff refunds is June 13, 2026. After that date you will not be able to file protests for entries filed on February 4th,...

The president's comments about Netflix/Susan Rice shouldn't have bearing over the approval of any WBD deal — a decision to sue to block would be made by the DOJ which would face an indp judge in court — BUT his...
My unsolicited comms advice: if you're going to go on at length about making it more "efficient" to move money to places like Venezuela (sanctions risk) and Colombia (narcotrafficking/money laundering risk), also explain how (if?) you mitigate these risks. https://t.co/rN8g9ibBhf
Risk says "model risk." Tech says "ML system." Compliance says "automated decision tool." Legal says "algorithm." US Treasury just fixed this: AI Lexicon + Risk Framework for financial services. 230 control objectives. NIST-adapted. "Treasury releases AI lexicon and sector-specific risk framework"...
Trump's IEEPA tariffs are illegal, as per the SC, and he's going to have to work with Congress and subject to the law now to sustain the tariff regime in various other ways. Or go back to court. China and...
This is sketchy even for DAT standards. DO NOT SIGN DAT’s standard agreement without an attorney reviewing. We’ve had multiple reports of DAT filing UCCs against companies that sign their standard agreement. They snuck language into their terms and conditions that...

As we see nonbanks getting more and more involved in lending, payments, holding funds, etc. you’re going to see a lot more money laundering, breaches, and data selling with very little regulatory authority to fine or discipline.
On the IEEPA ruling and refunds. As we see many posts saying that it will be the importer who gets the money back, it’s good to remember that this will not be an easy process. Just like in the UK,...

🇺🇸 it’s a clause in his contract that he insisted on before taking the job
The ELDT is one of the worst regulation ever created in the history of trucking. It eliminated accountability and created an environment where anyone can get a CDL without ever demonstrating proficiency. Some of these CDL mills do little more...
