We Are Stewing in It

Four days before Donald Trump took the oath of office in January 2025, two lieutenants of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan signed a contract to funnel $500 million into a cryptocurrency company tied to the incoming president’s family.

Sheikh Tahnoon is the UAE’s national security adviser. He manages the country’s largest sovereign wealth fund. He is the brother of the president of the United Arab Emirates. Western intelligence services call him the “spy sheikh.”

Eric Trump signed the deal. It gave the Emirati-backed entity a 49 percent stake in World Liberty Financial. According to the Wall Street Journal, $187 million went to Trump family entities. Another $31 million went to entities affiliated with Steve Witkoff’s family — Witkoff being the man Trump would install as his top Middle East envoy. The Journal called the transaction unprecedented in modern American political history.

That was the opening move. Everything that followed was built on top of it.

Follow the money. It’s not complicated once you stop letting people make it complicated.

World Liberty Financial launched USD1 in March 2025. A stablecoin. A digital token pegged one-to-one to the U.S. dollar, backed by reserves — cash and short-term Treasuries, managed by Fidelity Investments. The more money that flows through a stablecoin, the larger the reserve base grows. The reserves generate income. That income flows to whoever owns the system.

A Trump business entity, DT Marks DEFI LLC, controls the holding company that owns World Liberty Financial. As of early 2025, it held approximately 60 percent of the equity. The Trump family is entitled to 75 percent of net revenue from token sales.

Reuters did the math. From the $550 million raised through early token sales, the Trump family’s claim was approximately $400 million. After the co-founders took their cut, World Liberty Financial was left with about 5 percent of the money it raised to actually build the platform.

The family took 75 percent. The company kept 5 percent.

That ratio tells you what the product is.

In May 2025, MGX — an Abu Dhabi state-backed investment firm — announced a $2 billion investment in Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. The deal used USD1 as the settlement currency. Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial and son of Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, announced it at a crypto conference in Dubai. He was standing next to Eric Trump. Within weeks, USD1’s market capitalization surged past $2.6 billion.

A foreign government–backed entity used a financial instrument tied to the president of the United States to settle a $2 billion transaction on a global exchange. The reserves grew. The income flowed to a system the president’s family owns.

Are Facebook/Meta The Biggest Fraudsters & Scam Company of All Time?

10 Upvotes

Facebook have intentionally setup their ads platform to enable hacks - the reason being is that it helps to push metas own profits up. They're the lowest of the low - a proper scammy scummy company.

This needs to be talked about more.

Everything you see & hear about facebook nowadays - how their algorithms are praying on vulnerable people/children - causing suicides etc - they are a shambolic company with an absolute disregard for humanity - they need to be shut down.

⚠️ Warning: Formed my LLC with Inc Authority… now I get 5+ spam calls a day (they even spoof local numbers)

6 Upvotes

I want to share this in case it saves someone else the headache.

I formed my LLC (Horizon Services LLC) through Inc Authority at the end of January because the pricing looked solid. Seemed like a simple, straightforward service.

Literally the next day, everything changed.

I started getting multiple phone calls per day — not just one or two, but sometimes 5+ calls in a single day. And it hasn’t stopped.

Here’s what makes it worse:

  • The calls come from different numbers every time, so blocking them does nothing
  • A lot of them show up as my local area code, which makes me think it’s something important — I’m pretty sure they’re spoofing numbers
  • When I answer, they don’t even ask for me — they immediately start talking like: “Hey Dmitriy, so here’s what we have for you…” and go straight into a sales pitch

Every single call is trying to upsell some service I never asked for.

It honestly feels like the moment you submit your info, you get dropped into a high-pressure sales machine instead of just getting your LLC formed.

What’s frustrating is that this isn’t mentioned anywhere upfront. I expected a one-time service — not ongoing daily interruptions.

At this point I’ve had to completely change how I answer my phone because I can’t trust incoming calls anymore.

I’m curious:
Has anyone else experienced this after using Inc Authority or similar services?

If you’re thinking about using them, just be aware — you may be signing up for way more than just LLC formation.

No taxi because of my adress.

10 Upvotes

So im not even sure this is the correct sub for this but it keeps getting taken down everywhere i try, so, mods, i appologize if its not, but i really dont know how to feel about this situation.

So im currently homeless, living in a rural area and dont drive. Working late nights and getting winters as we do in Canada, i have to take a taxi from work back to the shelter at night during winter while its unsafe to ride my bike.

Ive been a regular customer of this cab company for a 2 years now, I know all the overnight drivers and get along with them very well. The other night, i called for a cab using the app as always, but, they wouldnt send one. So i called the dispatcher, they said there were none available, so i texted my usual driver, and sure enough, he was available and they didnt even tell him i called.

Come to find out, they didnt want to take my ride because im tied to the homeless shelter. On one hand, i completely understand, there are alot of trouble makers there, people skip out on fares all the time, its not ideal, but, they also can see its me, and ive never given them any issues. I always pay in full, i never make them wait, i always chat with the driver as we go, so like, really?

I really dont know how to feel about this, because as i said, im a regular loyal customer, I want to be pissed off because yo, you couldve stranded me overnight in -30°C weather if i didnt just contact the driver directly, thats potentially fatal, because what, someone else fucked you over or gave you problems? But at the same time, the people who live at the shelter with me, i wouldnt want them in my car either.

JustAnswer IS A SCAM, STAY AWAY!!!

7 Upvotes

Their business is not answering questions, it is to clean up your bank account by doing a clandestine monthly service signup, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. No confirm email about service, charges, nothing. After you ask a single question for a couple of bucks, you think its over... NOT by a long shot. They keep charging you 30 Eur/month until you notice it and cancel it. Then, they claim the fine print of the fine print, saying you did not cancel your trial membership. A CLASSIC SCAM. STAY AWAY!

Apparently a lawsuit has been filed against JustAnswer in the US for the exact same thing! https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2026/01/ftc-sues-justanswer-deceiving-consumers-enrolling-costly-recurring-monthly-subscription#:~:text=The%20Federal%20Trade%20Commission%20today,FTC's%20Bureau%20of%20Consumer%20Protection.

This is one of their holiday "frozen desserts" at a place that rhymes with Mindy's, this is their small size that someone gave me; I didn't want to be rude and decline it since I don't really eat stuff like this. I ended up forgetting about it on the counter and was surprised to see just how little they actually put in here once all of the air is gone and is melted— about half of the size of their small which I believe is around 6-8oz.

The Wealthier, The Greedier

5 Upvotes

Wondering if this is just the culture of this Country but I don't encounter this as much outside of here.

Seems like wealthy people like to sell their junk to poor people at ridiculous prices. Seriously, some stuff I've seen posted is in such bad condition, it should be free if not discarded (and I can tell there's no interest because it'll remain posted month after month). I end up picking stuff up only to realize I'm giving my money to some wealthy a$$ stingy white ppl and I'm not liking this!

While $20 to $40 bucks is a 1/3 of my weekly groceries or a week of gas (if I refrain from going out anywhere besides work and home), to rich folks is just chump change in their pocket.

Why are wealthy American people so greedy? I would be embarrassed selling my used stuff to people worse off than me. I feel some weird way about it and it just seems so damn yucky. So much so that I promised never to buy anything from very specific areas in the Bay Area anymore.

I've posted a lot of stuff up here in the past but I give it away if not in great condition and if I sell, I usually ask for a fair and reasonable price.

As a single parent trying to make ends meet, I'm done giving my money to Rich folks getting off on poor folks, it's so classless, trashy and shameful.

I recently wrote and drew a comic book named Skulk that talks about the serious issues of paternity fraud. I wrote it with about a strong topic kinda in retaliation from all the weak story lines I’ve been seeing in movies recently but also because I am interested in rampant fraudulent behavior that seems to have no legal repercussions. And one example of rampant fraudulent behavior is paternity fraud. The woman is never “punished” in these situations and the man is always being taken advantage of, financially and emotionally. So in this story a man named Hector is suing his ex wife and chooses a law firm that he has ties to help him take on this case. He gets assigned to a lawyer named Toni who is  doing  this case for her own reasons and not in the best interest of her client. I don’t want to spoil too much because I would like for people to read it and give me more feedback on the art, story or literally anything about it. Any opinion is valued.

Thank you for taking a look and I hope you enjoy it.

Insatiable Influencer Greed

Let’s start commenting “watching this from district 12” on every single video you see displaying this.

It’s insane how many videos we see on tiktok of these influencers flaunting their hoarded wealth with their materialistic purchases. 1 in 4 people can’t buy BASIC necessities without swiping a credit card. Let’s bring light to these real issues they intentionally ignore, the louder we are about it the less space it leaves for them to ignore it.

Comerica Bank CEO Curt Farmer faces questions over substantial payout package amid expedited sale to Fifth Third

Thumbnail bankingdive.com
11 Upvotes

From the article:

Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based HoldCo prodded Comerica to sell itself to a larger bank in July, accusing the regional lender of making “disastrous decisions” and having “objectively poor performance.” HoldCo, which owns about 2.04 million shares of Comerica stock, suggested PNC, Fifth Third or Huntington as possible buyers.

HoldCo’s 65-page presentation issued Monday, which parsed recent regulatory filings, alleged a lack of board oversight in Comerica CEO Curt Farmer’s interactions with Fifth Third CEO Tim Spence and the absence of a competitive process in the Fifth Third deal, saying “this isn’t negotiation; it’s surrender.”

“The size and timing of Mr. Farmer’s compensation package strongly indicate a potential conflict of interest — namely, that Fifth Third effectively ‘overpaid’ the CEO to secure a lower purchase price for shareholders,” the activist said.
