The Next Big Collapse

The bitcoin bubble may play out at an accelerated pace:

U.S. Regulators Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether

U.S. regulators are scrutinizing one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges as questions mount over a digital token linked to its backers. 

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission sent subpoenas on Dec. 6 to virtual-currency venue Bitfinex and Tether, a company that issues a widely traded coin and claims it’s pegged to the dollar, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The firms share the same chief executive officer. 

Tether’s coins have become a popular substitute for dollars on cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide, with about $2.3 billion of the tokens outstanding as of Tuesday. While Tether has said all of its coins are backed by U.S. dollars held in reserve, the company has yet to provide conclusive evidence of its holdings to the public or have its accounts audited. Skeptics have questioned whether the money is really there.

More background here but the gist is that Tether is what you'd get if you had a cryptocurrency "pegged" to the US dollar, backed by bank deposits, and managed by Bernie Madoff.

The good news, this is only a $2 billion scam we are talking about. The NY Times just had a story about financial scams in China which cited four recent instances in the billions. The lead is the now-collapsed Qianbo, with $5 billion in losses but this is included:

Just four months ago, a Beijing court handed down a lifetime prison sentence to the founder of a $9 billion online lending platform called Ezubao that authorities now say had been a Ponzi scheme. Last summer, Chinese police arrested the head of Fanya Metals Exchange, which offered investment products promising double-digit returns, after it lost $6 billion of investor money. One month later, investors in a company called Shanxinhui lost billions of dollars and many hundreds of protesters took to the streets. In response to protests in Beijing at the time, Guo Shengkun, then China’s police chief, pledged to rein in fraudulent financial schemes.

People want to believe.

Wonder what the exchange rate is Tulips:Bitcoins?

[daddy]

Had a guy I flew with about a month or so ago who was consumed with BitCoin. Couldn't get him to shut up about it in the cockpit---he was totally obsessed with it. I let him talk himself out and told him I had zero interest of any kind whatever in it. And again, and again, and again, and again, etc. He had bought a few coins from some lower rated Exchange like Lightcoin or some such for x amount of thousands and I simply thought he was nuts. Whatever, that amount of passion for some theoretical thing caused me to take all the challenging landings:)

[lyle]

Tulips are real...

[JimNorCal]

Hard ball. (h/t BJG)

[JimNorCal]

Ya think?

[lyle]

WSJ had an article about the Millennials flocking to Etrade and Schwab to open accounts so they could start trading...bitcoin and pot stocks/ETFs. I'm sure there's no larger point to be gleaned from this. None whatsoever...

[Clarice Feldman]

About time on that bitcoin scam.

TJ, fingers crossed for you.

[Porchlight]

That is so sad, JimNorCal. But yes, hardball.

[GUS]

The end of the LIBTARD PARTY as we know it, is upon us. They stand for STASI, they stand for ABORTION, they stand for TRANNY SOLDIERS, they stand for HIGHER TAXES. Not a single one of them had the BRAINS NOR BALLS to vote for the tax cuts. They stand against AMERICAN CITIZENS and for ILLEGALS.
Every single time a FULL COMMIE LIBTARDOCRAT TALKS, he is lying. EVERY TIME.

It's hard for even fukwad trolls not to notice now.

[Catsmeat]

Alright, major catching up--

first, before I forget, Ig, you have been very funny all day--as I know you know...

JiB--were you in Dulwich to think of cricket pasts or Wodehouse's?

Clarice--your first idea wasn't that bad--I read the link and the Sardinian fellow was very proud of the island's history as resistance against tyranny (real tyranny, like the Romans) and described his ancestors (a claim we take with a grain of salt) as being like Bravehearts.

MM--we have a copy of All About Dinosaurs by Roy Chapman Andrews!

Daddy, that photo of Anchorage looked like an N.C. Wyeth--so beautiful!

I sure hope Trump does not release the memo right after the SOTU because I want to go to bed.

[GUS]

When CHRIS WRAY SHITCANNED McCABE, was he ATTACKING the FBI and our INTEL AGENCIES???

[Clarice Feldman]

*TK* that is..

Whose order was Wray carrying out in sacking a Deep State player and putting the body on display for all to see, in advance of the "memo"?

My dream SOTU
(h/t BJG comments)

[Catsmeat]

Jane, I've been thinking of your lively concern--that we as a country cannot afford to get into what might be perceived as perpetual tit for tat among the presidential losers and winners. Madness lies ahead. I hate Obama and Hillary, truly a lot--but for comity in the state and a break in the pattern, I would want Pres. Trump to pardon both of them as soon as the public record confirms what we here already know, their confirmed villainy and violation of federal statutes. I do think he would probably have no sweeter moment as president than signing those pardons--can you imagine? Jackie Gleason, "How Sweet It Is," has nothing on it.

[JimNorCal]

DNC is relatively in great shape! For example they were once $30 million in debt, whereas now they are only broke.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-30/dnc-unraveling-ceo-quits-after-8-months-amid-bailing-megadonors-and-cash-panic

[Extraneus]

I'd be ok with that, Catsmeat, and I actually think it's a great idea, but the lower-level criminals who sold out for Hillary need to do time, including Comey.

[Rocco]

I don't think the FBI will survive it's reincarnation unless those at the top, all of them, pay dearly. Early retirements with pensions intact won't remove the stench. Because right now, they all smell like Hillary's urine, that's how she marks her territory.

[Extraneus]

Those are the people that need to be made an example of and taught a lesson.

[Extraneus]

(I assume you'd prefer who over that, btw.)

[anonamom]

Is there any benefit whatever, in any circumstance you can think of, where bleeding a patient actually improves a condition? I ask because it seems our ancestors were very sharp in so many ways in sensing what prevents or relieves various ailments. I know the thought of the bile's and the multiple phlegm's and all that, but prior to all that mountain of ancient and medieval theory, can you think of any reason why they would have tried or observed bleeding and concluded "Hey, that's a good therapy. Let's try it in all sorts of conditions."

Bleeding a patient (withdrawing blood) is used now in cases of hemosiderosis(a disorder of iron accumulation) and polycythemia vera (too many red blood cells)..

It's thought by some to be a good thing to donate blood regularly, as men with lower total body iron levels---not pathologically low, but low normal--seem to live longer and to enjoy better overall health. Theory is that Iron can accumulate in tissues---the problem in hemosiderosis--and cause organ disfunction.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I have been thinking about Jane's comment as well.

I will be satisfied if both the Clintons and Obama are shown to have been up to illegal stuff. I don't think a trial would be a good idea, even with a pardon afterwards.

I know this sounds wimpy, but once Pandora's box is opened, who knows what evils would fly out? I can see the democrats mounting a presidential campaign based on nothing but revenge, and there are enough nut cases out there that who knows what violence would come out?

I have said before that I think this entire Russia thing was designed as revenge by Obama (for the birth certificate) and Hillary (because she viewed Trump as a threat to her power). I point again to David Plouffe's "destroyed not just defeated" tweet.

I think all of the rest of this stuff was covering their tracks afterwards.

Proving that they were doing this should be enough. It should horrify Americans.

I don't know the answer. Maybe just keeping them out of the public eye would be enough, although Obama probably wouldn't adhere to it.

So far the President's instincts have been remarkably good. I guess I will trust him to know the wisest course.

[Jane]

Catsmeat, I agree but the push back would be ugly and should be ugly. And if the lower people do time while Hillary is sipping chardonnay, that works but it's also very ugly.

No real good answer but I don't want to destroy the republic over it. Boy was I mad when Ford pardoned Nixon.

[Kevlar Kid]

I want to see The Bath House Rat and Hillary to be hung as traitors and spies for Iran and the uranium.

The message must be clearly sent to the American People who want to see that *NO AMERICAN IS ABOVE THE LAW*.

I am really doubt that future presidential victors would be able to legitimately do (and therefore would not be able to fabricate enough real evidence) what Donald J. Trump is doing.

1) Because they would be new and their apparatus in Washington would be new.

2) They won't have a 30 plus year mole (like Mueller, Comey, and Lynch) in key leadership positions with cutout records of integrity etc.

3) The DNC is nearly defunct. A new party would need years to develop the teeth to replicate the Trump victories that are starting to emerge.

4) The American Left are greedy children. And the only thing they hate more than Republicans are leaders who lie to them. Bernie, Feinstein, Pelosi---> they were all in on this charade. They lied and the EmoCrat Party died.

Once the evidence comes out even some of the diehards are going to abandon any semblance of loyalty to the DNC, the memory of the Clintons ("Bill, was that a lie too? Or did you have real feelings for us?")

It's kind of like going into a world war twice. The people began to say puck you to Uncle Same when Korea happened; and, the "false flag" event in the Tonkin Gulf led to a giant single digit salute to the "old business" model.

Sacking former presidents will have the same lack of appeal. Banana Republix and African politics are nowhere near the trajectory the Nation and its patriots have set for ourselves with the Trump election and the MAGA sentiment we expect to continue no matter the cost to our adversaries.

This is the Second American Revolution. The civil war people were saying that we're in the middle of will come 100 years from now as political opposition to MAGA dig in and continue to plant seeds of secession and the break-up of the US into "bio-regions" (a commie watermelon idea).

One man's opinion.

[Captain Hate]

First of all best wishes to TK.

but for comity in the state and a break in the pattern, I would want Pres. Trump to pardon both of them as soon as the public record confirms what we here already know, their confirmed villainy and violation of federal statutes.

I've always assumed this is what Trump will do. I think he wants to be known as a great President and being magnanimous to people who wanted to use the state to destroy him would aid in that effort. Plus I think he considers this an impediment, albeit an unfortunately necessary one, to MAGA.

[Skoot]

Trump should send in Uncle Ted to warm the crowd up. Get this thing off proper!

[Catsmeat]

Trump was in fact very magnaminous in victory, signaling that he wasn't going to go after former rivals, no matter how steeped in criminal offenses. It got him nothing, because given what they had already done they had no choice but to go full steam ahead with Russia and whatever they thought they had. Silly asses--now all exposed, and Trump's generosity stamped on with wicked muddy boots--IF he can find it in him to be generous NOW for the nation would not surprise me (I think he is really a gentleman at heart), but it is certainly far better than Hillary or Obama deserve.

DOJ Inspector General Focused On McCabe’s Role In The Final Weeks Of The 2016 Election

Hang them two ranks deep. A public hanging in the Washington Mall on July 4th 20XX.

Posterity will ask: what were their crimes?

"oh. I would've hanged them too. No one is above the law."

At least send them to GITMO for 25 to life. These people do not deserve to have a country. Fines, losses of pensions---> that's bull shite.

Make treason and sedition *UNTHINKABLE* crimes. Or we'll go the way of being lenient on pedophiles and rapists and murderers. Do it and suck it up. You'll get out on good behavior and false tales of "finding Jesus."

But the offenses are just as grievous.

[Kevlar Kid]

During this part of the maturation cycle of Democrat Party/President/apparatchik overreach we saw that followers were willing to kill the political opposition,or at least to inspire lethal caliber violence with bike locks and arming anarchist elements in "peaceful protests."

We've seen university faculty participate in direct propagandizing and disinformation campaigns (Robert Reich of Cal Berkeley telling the press "It was Breitbart News. Breitbart was here.")

If we do not kill the ringleaders, the wave will build again. Infrastructure will be allowed to stay in place (I can hear it now:" What's the harm of allowing minor actors in this conspiracy to keep their DC jobs and pensions? Surely they've learned their lesson. They don't deserve retribution. They've suffered enough."

All of them. From the neck until dead.

I've pretty much adapted to my 2-meal-per-day diet, just black coffee in the morning. Sometimes I'll be hungry and eat meal #1 (usually involving eggs) at 10:30, sometimes if I'm busy or active I won't eat till 1:00.

That plus exercise 5-6 days/week, a lot of walking, and limiting carbs, and I'm about 20% off my peak weight, pretty close to where I want to be.

Serpenthead performed his function of poisoning the political waters to keep Slick from being removed from office by the Senate limpdicks. His penance for that is watching LSU suck the Tide's exhaust for the next forever. He never made any sense anyway once you sifted through his cornpone blather, which most people never bothered to do.

[Rocco]

They maligned his character, reputation, family and friends. And if they hadn't been outed they'd be plotting who knows what? Nah...I hope the punishment is so severe that it deters anyone from even thinking about it again. I hope Comey does time in the same prison that he put the Gambino mobsters in.

I think I will go get in the shower since I don't think I can take 2 hours of "what Trump must do in this speech".

McCabe was the man when they found out about Weiner's laptop.

The New York FBI office alerted FBI headquarters to the new email issue within days — accounts differ as to when precisely, but McCabe was aware of the matter by late September or early October at the latest, according to the people familiar with the matter. The agents on the Weiner case wanted to talk to the Clinton email investigators and see whether the messages were potentially important…

McCabe’s defenders in law enforcement say that there was nothing nefarious going on — officials were pursuing a careful process of determining whether the emails might be relevant, and that took time.

Other law enforcement officials, however, have said they are concerned that the issue seemed to die for a period of time at McCabe’s desk, without explanation.

given what they had already done they had no choice but to go full steam ahead with Russia and whatever they thought they had.

Sure they had a choice: they should have kept their stupid yaps shut and gone about their business of just doing the jobs they were being paid to do and hoping the GOPe didn't have the guts to scrutinize things in the past other than what IG Horowitz had in motion which would produce some manageable casualties but they would still have most of their embedded bad actors in place.

But they had a mentally ill harridan refusing to accept defeat and agitating her subgroup of lunatic adherents to begin a quixotic undertaking that would only end badly. And a few of the more sane people are starting to see just how badly it will end up.

MM - hopefully if there is a "crowd" of illegals they can at least get their photos and take notes for future arrests.

It is so infuriating that they have NO fear of anything because the Dems are protecting them. To have the gall to march into the halls of Congress with the expressed intent to make a point and/or a scene in front of the President is bad enough.

But now you tell me that one of the leaders of the President's own party has promised them they would not be arrested!

How twisted things have gotten!

One of the essential elements of our Republic is the peaceful transition of power. Hillary and Obama used the power of the state to interfere with the election and then set a lie in motion to try and overturn those results. They have to be punished to the full extent of the law.

As Gen. McCaulife famously replied to another request for unilateral surrender: 'Nuts.'

[d.u.d.a]

"That is so sad, JimNorCal. But yes, hardball"

It is a sad story. However, the premise Jim puts forward is deeply flawed; if one DACA recipient is guilty of committing a crime....then all DACA recipients are guilty or potentially guilty of committing crimes, therefore DACA recipients should not be granted amnesty because they are violent criminals.

It's the kind of logical fallacy a fuckin retard could work out in 3 seconds....but in this group it passes for sound reasoning.

[Frau Kopp Ab]

Catsmeat - the Capitol centaurs should be able to give the pink hat harpies a bum's rush to remember.

The satisfaction of getting those miscreants arrested would be far outweighed by the TV cameras catching them weeping and wailing a they were led away, disrupting President Trump's speech and that would be ALL you would hear about on the news on Wednesday.

Far better for President Trump to cast a paternal eye on them and ask which they would rather have, a temporary seat or citizenship. (I doubt he says anything at all, but sure don't want a ruckus in the gallery.)

That is why Ryan said no arrests. It is in his interest to have a good speech as well.

I have no experience with this so can't provide any insight. I've encountered dogs whose owners told me they'd had ACL problems and they seemed perfectly fine but I don't know if they went through anything to get to that point.

Captain Hate,

Most vets canoperate on small dogs ass well as large. Spaying involves an incision in the abdomen through both skin and muscle; then the vet reaches in and pulls out the Fallopian tubes, removes the ovaries, and sews up where they were removed. Replace and suture the main incision.

I was a cheap vet assistant for my ucle when he first started his practice. We did all sizes of dogs.

I'd brand the old Hilligula cowhide for you, Frau. My brother still has some irons from the ranching days 40+ years ago.

BUFORD:I will never ignore you, Beasts. You're way too good of a guy, and very entertaining.

BEASTS:How am I supposed to respond to that, Buford? After everything that's happened.

BUFORD: I wish I knew how to quit you.

Our Federal Furuncle - there are things worse than death or the orange jump suit. Their names must live in infamy. We should be working on the name of the biggest scandal in our history.

Let 'er rip...
