Doesn't seem to have helped so far either. Eric Trump tweeted about the case earlier calling it "ridiculous"

Sam Bankman-Fried has filed his purported reply to the court order to answer whether an attorney (or his mother, a former attorney?) has been writing his pro se submissions.

It raises more questions.

It is also not "under penalty of purjury" as required by the court's order.

Oh I should probably check on my home one huh

Oh I know

This is more a joke on something I saw once when I was younger

Previewing Consensus' Policy Summit: State of Crypto Every year policy discussions get more important, and this year's even more so.

One of my main goals is to walk through policy issues around crypto through a critical lens -- and I'm hoping I succeed. We'll find out next month, but if any of this sounds interesting, this'll be May 7 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Previewing Consensus' Policy Summit: State of Crypto Every year policy discussions get more important, and this year's even more so.

And, of course, we're going to close the policy summit with a dissection of prediction markets, including whether they're actually swaps and who should regulate these products (ie one of the questions we may end up seeing before SCOTUS).

Previewing Consensus' Policy Summit: State of Crypto Every year policy discussions get more important, and this year's even more so.

We're going to discuss the 2026 midterm election and how crypto is going to engage with it. I'll have more to say about this later but obviously there are some big questions heading into November, including whether crypto is even remotely close to any voter's radar.

Previewing Consensus' Policy Summit: State of Crypto Every year policy discussions get more important, and this year's even more so.

This includes whether and how AML/KYC regulations could be applied to DeFi platforms, tax regulations, what to make of all these banks getting into blockchain (and crypto cos becoming banks), market structure regulation and state regulation of crypto.

I'm going to shill for a second: For the last few months I've been helping put together some of Consensus Miami's policy sessions. My goal is for learned voices to discuss some important regulatory issues around digital assets.

Two things I've done when I'm not quite sure how to write what I want to write --
1. I just throw random details into my document. I might not know how to start an article but I'll throw the middle part in and eventually work my back towards my lede
2. A blank piece of paper and a pen

This bit was quoted by Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) in yesterday's House Ag hearing with CFTC Chair Selig

Hahahahahahahaha 🫠

Years of the crypto industry arguing that the Major Questions Doctrine applies to their cases and judges saying no and the first case I cover where it comes up may be the CA9 consolidated hearing about prediction markets?

This 9th Circuit panel hearing on prediction markets has so far been pretty interesting www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/live-o...

CFTC Chair Mike Selig argues for agency's 'exclusive regulatory authority' in prediction markets fight: State of Crypto Selig said states do not have the ability to police prediction market providers, echoing his agency's stance as it pursues court cases to cement its authority.

I spoke to CFTC Chair Selig last week about his agency's fight with states over prediction markets. "It doesn't matter if it's on sports, politics or anything else; if it's a validly offered product within a CFTC-regulated exchange, then we regulate that," he said.
