In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Jostein Hauge, a Cambridge economist, pointed out that from 1969 to 2025, none of the 99 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences winners listed a mainland Chinese affiliation, sparking lively discussion. Some blame bias toward Western free-market ideas and exclusion of critics or state-led models, while others stress the award rewards theoretical work with a long impact lag, not policy outcomes. Chinese success, they note, came from pragmatic reforms like Deng Xiaoping's rather than prize-winning theories, highlighting tensions between global economic power and academic recognition.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

China's rise to the world's second-largest economy has lifted millions from poverty, yet no economist from a mainland institution has claimed the Nobel in economics.

Mark Ruffalo urged signatures for a petition with over 32,000 backers, praising the city's solidarity, while conservatives mocked the idea by citing crime and past riots. The symbolic push highlights U.S. divides on immigration, though no city has ever won the prize and nominations closed February 1.

In a GB News documentary released this week, British journalist Steven Edginton interviews 'Andrew,' who calls himself a former Antifa member. Andrew explains how the group dehumanizes targets by labeling them fascists or Nazis, comparing it to ISIS tactics and saying it now applies to anyone who disagrees. He describes members discussing guns and preparing for conflict, driven by fears of genocide or Nazi takeover. While some doubt his claims due to Antifa's loose structure, his account echoes concerns about rising political tensions, including recent terrorism charges by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Cambridge University honored barrister Philippe Sands with a Doctorate in Law, praising his work in international law, including his role advising Mauritius against the UK over the Chagos Archipelago. Sands helped secure a 2019 ICJ opinion deeming the UK's 1965 detachment unlawful, pressuring a 2025 sovereignty deal that collapsed in April 2026 after U.S. withdrawal. Critics called the award tone-deaf, with posts decrying it as rewarding a 'Chagos sell-out' and questioning the optics alongside honors like Angela Merkel's. The university nominated Sands in February and has stayed silent on the uproar.
