今天，我的律师团队出席了加州联邦法院的听证，反对世界自由金融（World Liberty Financial）@worldlibertyfi 试图将我们的争议强行推入秘密仲裁程序、并将文件封存于公众视野之外的做法。 我们据理力争，主张本案应在公开法庭审理——法院支持了我们的立场。 这是一场重大胜利： 法官裁定，我的全部个人索赔请求都将留在公开法庭审理。 法官同时驳回了World Liberty关于所有公司相关索赔均应仲裁的主张，并命令双方协商确定其中哪些索赔留在法院、哪些提交仲裁。 这是一场意义重大的胜利。 World Liberty试图把这个案子推到密室之中，而法院说：不行。 代币持有者有权看到，这些项目是如何对待信任他们的人的。我相信，如果World Liberty的所作所为经得起检验，他们就不会如此拼命地掩盖。在社区获得应有的透明度之前，我不会罢休。 对于刚开始关注这场争议的朋友，简单介绍一下背景：我是World Liberty最早、也是最大的投资人之一。我投入4500万美元换取$WLFI代币，因为我相信了该项目所宣称的"让去中心化金融走向大众"的愿景。 但正如我在起诉状中所指控的：在我的4500万美元投资帮助他们将一场原本举步维艰的代币销售扭转为5.5亿美元的成功募资之后，World Liberty却在$WLFI智能合约中秘密植入了后门，赋予自己单方面冻结、限制、销毁任何持有者代币的权力——无需通知，亦无正当程序。 起诉状进一步指控：World Liberty对我动用了这一权力，非法夺取我的财产（即我的$WLFI代币），并在我试图行使合法权利时，以刑事移送相威胁。 我的诉讼索赔金额达数亿美元。 提起诉讼后，我第一时间取得了法院命令，禁止World Liberty销毁、损毁、重新分配或以任何其他方式永久处置我的任何代币。 这道命令是必要的——因为正如我在起诉状中所指控的，World Liberty不仅威胁要销毁我的代币，还确保了自己拥有单方面兑现这一威胁的权力。 我现在了解到，World Liberty已在其USD1稳定币中植入了同样的后门功能。 在我看来，USD1的用户应当明白：World Liberty已赋予自己随时冻结或销毁用户资产的技术能力——而且正如我在起诉状中所指控的，他们已经展示过对$WLFI持有者动用这些功能的意愿。 我并不是起诉状中所指控的World Liberty欺诈计划的唯一受害者。虽然未经他人同意、我无权代为讲述他们的遭遇，但已有其他人私下向我表示，他们认为自己同样受到了World Liberty的侵害，只是担心公开站出来提起诉讼。 我理解他们的顾虑。 正如我在起诉状中所指控的，World Liberty已经证明，他们会对挑战者实施报复。 基于我本人与这个行业里不良行为者打交道的经历，我还想给投资者一句忠告。在这场争议之前，我曾被ARIA欺诈——该公司卷走了支撑TUSD稳定币的约5亿美元抵押资产。 就在ARIA资不抵债、坐拥数亿美元被挪用资金的同时，其代理人Vincent Chok正通过他的公司First Digital Trust推出一个名为FDUSD的新稳定币。 那个稳定币最终信心崩塌、脱锚，其交易对被币安交易所下架。 那段经历教会我更审慎地审视自己投资的项目，也是我如今对World Liberty深感担忧的原因之一。 在我看来，对$WLFI和USD1都有充分的理由保持警惕。 我对World Liberty的索赔金额达数亿美元，而我没有看到任何证据表明他们有能力履行如此规模的判决。 USD1的市值据报道为40亿美元，但那是用户的钱。 那是本应支撑稳定币的抵押资产，不能被用来支付法院判决。 除去这部分抵押资产之外，我没有看到任何迹象表明World Liberty拥有足以覆盖数亿美元判决的资本。 而这还只是我一个人的索赔。如前所述，据我了解，其他人也可能提起类似诉讼。 在这些潜在索赔之外，World Liberty自身的行为让我更有理由怀疑他们能否兑现自己的义务。 根据公开报道，World Liberty将约50亿枚自家发行的$WLFI代币作为抵押品存入了借贷平台Dolomite——而该平台的联合创始人正是World Liberty自己的首席技术官。据报道，这一数量接近其金库持仓的一半，约占代币总供应量的5%。 通过这一安排，World Liberty据称借出了至少7500万美元的稳定币，其中包括其自家发行的USD1。正如我在起诉状中所指出的，业内分析人士已将这种循环借贷与导致SBF在FTX酿成巨额欺诈的那类杠杆操作进行了直接类比。 此外还有World Liberty管理层的问题。正如我在起诉状中所指控的，World Liberty联合创始人Chase Herro此前曾创立另一个DeFi协议Dough Finance，该协议声称遭遇黑客攻击、用户资产被盗。 但有投资者提起诉讼，指控所谓黑客攻击根本不存在，而是Herro先生本人将平台资产变现转入了自己的钱包。 据公开报道，这些资金中的绝大部分至今下落不明。公开报道同样记录了：当年参与Dough Finance的许多相同人员，如今正在运营World Liberty。 所有这些因素——我提出的巨额损害赔偿主张、其他尚未起诉者的潜在索赔、Dolomite上的借贷安排，以及Dough Finance的诉讼——都让我严重怀疑：一旦发生挤兑，World Liberty和USD1是否有足够的资金来履行判决、偿还债务、或让投资者得到全额补偿。 我认为投资者应当追问：World Liberty和USD1是否拥有足以覆盖其全部潜在义务的资源。 基于我所审阅的公开信息，我对此没有信心。 我敦促投资者自行做好尽职调查，并保持极度谨慎。

Very welcome recent news from Signal: they are working on letting you register an account without a phone number. That said, an important counterpoint about what this would and would not accomplish. The good #1#: reducing dependence on phone numbers. Even aside from privacy benefits, reducing dependency on a highly oligopolistic system of chokepoints is good in itself. The good #2#: phone numbers are for many people not a good "root" of identity from an access control perspective. Phone numbers get sim swapped all the time. The good #3#: allowing phone-number-free accounts will make it harder for them in the future to discriminate against people by country - and so make it harder for governments to pressure them to block their own citizens. Now, on privacy. Significantly better than status quo, so yes it is good #4#, but... In practice, in 2026, I believe that pseudonymity (a long-term persistent account that is not tied to your primary identity) is a dead concept. There are just too many channels by which we accidentally slowly leak data about who we are - timing of messages, the pattern of who we send messages to with what frequency, size, etc. And too many highly effective AI-based means (both using LLMs per-user, and LLMs helping every person and agency under the sun use math that we had all along) to uncover and piece together those hints. As a trivial example, whatever server you interact with learns your IP address, but even if you hide *that* with a VPN or Tor, there are many other identity leakage vectors. And so the only defensible form of privacy is *message-by-message unlinkability* - no one except sender and receiver knows the (sender, receiver) pair, ideally even not knowing who the sender or the receiver are. A natural taxonomy of privacy is the following 2x2: * Sitting duck: adversary knows "X did Y" * Confidentiality: adversary knows "X did ???" [E2E encryption provides this] * Anonymity: adversary knows "??? did Y" [aka message-by-message unlinkability] * Ideal: adversary knows "??? did ???" Signal has already had confidentiality for a long time. (Note: in other contexts, "confidentiality" sometimes means "someone knows X did Y, and we trust that someone to not reveal it", ie. not true privacy. Here, by confidentiality we mean hiding contents from third parties) This adds pseudonymity: in the above schema, adversary knows "0x8b512c... did Y", where they don't initially know who 0x8b512c... is, but may figure that out over time. The ideal is getting to message-by-message unlinkability. Actually accomplishing that gets into territory that is currently being explored by mixnet projects as well as newer messengers, eg. @session_app and @SimpleXChat. Once we get deeper into this territory, I suspect the primary frontier will be spam and DoS protection. Right now, much of the internet blocks all Tor exit nodes - not because they personally hate privacy, but because that's where DoS attacks come from. So we need ways for people to prove their non-spammer status while maintaining message-by-message unlinkability. See here for one direction (which complements nicely). So I hope that we appreciate the victory that is mainstreaming of end-to-end encryption, that we actually get Signal accounts without phone number dependency (it's a great thing even if it had zero privacy consequences), and then that we keep moving forward and pushing the frontier of data leakage minimization.

"I thought he just pushed him... what actually happened, I guess, was a screwdriver in the guy's chest," a woman who witnessed the stabbing of a Jewish man in New York City told CBS News' @annaschecter Raul Morales, 51, has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, assault as a hate crime, and criminal possession of a weapon for stabbing 50-year-old Moshe Grunhaus on Thursday. Morales also faces several charges in connection with the stabbing of Chok Sung, a 57-year-old Asian man, but he is not facing a hate crime charge in this instance. Both victims are expected to survive, and Grunhaus's former Rabbi says he is "in good spirits."

BREAKING 🚨: Airline passenger insults flight attendant and is asked to leave the plane He refuses So an off-duty cop puts him in a chokehold and makes him leave This is how we make America great again

Feels bad, -49.4% drawdown this month after the recent crash. My portfolio is mainly AI chokepoints and bottlenecks. In the memory, photonics, robotics, and upstream semis, (on margin) which all tend to be higher beta than others. But reduced leverage recently from the crash. I see a lot of people making fun of the drop or AI names, saying it’s obvious that: - “AI is a bubble” - “memory/kospi is a bubble” - “photonics is a bubble” - “humanoids won’t get anywhere” - “neoclouds will get replaced by hyperscalers like Meta” And a bunch of retail + bots saying “sell everything, it’s never going to recover”. But I have conviction that all these themes are backed by structural revenue growth or technological shifts. And I’ve had similar drawdowns back when there admin threatened global tariffs, before markets pulled off a recovery. I personally have a longer horizon + higher tolerance for volatility than others, to see how this plays out. Especially considering a lot of retail view things on a week to week basis: no, my thesis isn’t wrong yet if I project revenue inflection in H2 2027 and it’s 2026 now. Anyway, feels bad short term just wanted to share anyway for transparency.
