When is the investigation into Boris Johnson’s partying with a now sanctioned “former” KGB agent?

Surprised @RhonddaBryant didn’t mention it on #BBCR4Today

Be a shame if people retweeted this clip of @YvetteCooperMP from July

#Boris4PM #BorisAndBust

"As far as I'm aware…” 🤔

“…no government business was discussed” 😳

@mrjamesob reacted in July to Boris Johnson's answer to the liaison committee about partying with ex-KGB spy Alexander Lebedev, whilst he was our foreign secretary
“This is about what appears to be a fundamental breach of our national security.

A breach that potentially endangered not just our country but the entire Nato alliance.

And we still know almost nothing about it.”

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
