The SEC has dismissed with prejudice an enforcement action against the Winklevoss twins’ Gemini crypto exchange. This comes after the Winklevosses contributed $4.4 million to Trump, backed his sons’ ventures, and committed $21 million to elect pro-Trump, pro-crypto lawmakers.
To date, the SEC has paused, dismissed, or otherwise ended crypto lawsuits or investigations against Aave, Binance, Coinbase, ConsenSys, Crypto.com, Cumberland DRW, Dragonchain, Gemini (twice), Hex, Immutable, Kraken, Ondoe, OpenSea, PayPal, Ripple, Robinhood, Tron, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, and Zcash.

![The dismissal of the Gemini Earn enforcement action adds to a long list of crypto-focused cases and investigations that the SEC has paused, dismissed, or otherwise ended. That list also includes: Aave [I99], Binance [I85], Coinbase [I78], ConsenSys [I78], Crypto.com [I81], Cumberland DRW [I79], Dragonchain,31 Gemini (a separate investigation) [I78], Hex [I82], Immutable [I80], Kraken [I79], Ondo Finance [I98], OpenSea [I78], PayPal [I83], Ripple [I80], Robinhood [I78], Tron [I78], Uniswap [I78], Yuga Labs [I79], and the ZCash Foundation [I99].](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/980/744/467/963/330/original/1dd8f4c922ef8249.png)
![While “but we gave the money back” isn’t normally a successful defense (just ask Sam Bankman-Fried), contributing around $4.4 million to Trump’s campaign,27 donating an undisclosed amount to Trump’s ballroom project,28 spending $1 million to be among the first members of the Trump family-run Executive Branch club,29 investing in Donald Trump Jr.’s American Bitcoin venture,30 and committing $22 million to political projects backing pro-Trump crypto advocates in the midterms seems to have gone a long way. The SEC case was paused back in April [I81], and, as I wrote then, “it’s widely understood that these [pauses] mark the end of SEC scrutiny for these companies.” Two months later, as the Winklevoss twins stood behind Trump in the Oval Office as he signed the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill, Trump remarked about the crypto industry: “I got you guys out of so much trouble”. Thanking the Winklevosses specifically, he added: “They’ve got plenty of cash, and it’s great that you’re on our side.” [I89]](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/980/743/593/883/124/original/a991b0955a5b44b5.png)

The SEC has dismissed with prejudice its case against the Winklevoss twins’ Gemini cryptocurrency exchange. Filed in January 2023, the agency alleged that the company had violated securities laws with its Earn program, in which Gemini partnered with the Genesis crypto lender to offer Gemini customers up to 7.4% APY on assets they loaned through Genesis. When Genesis suffered major losses on loans to Three Arrows Capital [W3IGG] and Babel Finance [W3IGG], the company went under, and around $900 million in Gemini customers’ assets were suddenly locked up in bankruptcy proceedings [I17, 18, 42]. Now, the SEC has evidently decided no harm, no foul, stating: “The 100 percent in-kind return of Gemini Earn investors’ crypto assets through the Genesis Bankruptcy and the settlements noted above, and in the exercise of its discretion, the Commission believes the dismissal of the claims against Defendant is appropriate.”26](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/980/741/060/144/757/original/3766b7e443e551f9.png)
#SturgeonLake #CreeNation moves to block #AlbertaSeparatist petition in court

"The #SturgeonLakeCreeNation has filed a legal claim challenging the approval of a separatist petition in #Alberta, arguing that any move toward separation from Canada cannot proceed without the consent of #FirstNations.
"In a statement released Friday, the First Nation said it has filed a Statement of Claim in the Alberta Court of King’s Bench against the Alberta government, the federal government and Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer.
"The claim alleges a failure to uphold and implement Treaty No. 8 and argues the approval of the petition violates treaty rights."
As ICE terrorizes communities, crypto executives who spent years posting about freedom have gone conspicuously silent. But behind the scenes, they’ve contributed at least $315 million — more than double their record 2024 spending — to elect more lawmakers to enable this administration.

The Fairshake PAC timed a press blitz about the nearly $200 million they’re brandishing towards members of Congress just ahead of a Senate Ag vote on crypto market structure. It passed, and amendments to address Trump’s crypto corruption or prohibit bailouts of crypto firms were shot down.

I've started the process of selling the US treasuries in my retirement account. I don't want to lend any money to this US regime. I'm just one person, but if enough of us (including central banks from other countries) sell US treasuries, the regime will be weakened.
This is not financial advice.

It is long past the time for news outlets to stop making BREAKING NEWS alerts for Trump's Truth Social posts.
They are barely newsworthy and often meaningless, and allow Trump to manipulate markets and entire populations without having to bear responsibility for his words.
New 100% tariffs on Canada would be news.
The threat is not news; it is just part of an ongoing psychological warfare campaign enabled by our news outlets and social media platforms.

Springfield Haitians were the subject of rightwing attacks from the highest office holders, including JD Vance, over false claims circulated on a social media post, which was later retracted when the poster admitted speaking out of its arse, that they were snatching animals and pets for food in the Springfield community #Ohio
