Memo #2 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement

2022-12-06 Thread Gunnar Larson

 Re: Memo #2 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement


Dear Mr. Marzulli:

The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1 with our recent
inquiry

to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred
Prosecution Agreement

with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical
enforcement being concerned.

Memo #2 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with the Middle
East.



The Bank of London vs. The Bank of London and the Middle East

   -

   November 30, 2021 two New York based firms lead investment in The Bank
   of London based in the United Kingdom.
   -

   July 1, 2007 The Bank of London and the Middle East opened in the United
   Kingdom.
   -

   The Bank of London and the Middle East confirms they have no association
   with The Bank of London (correspondence referenced here
   

   ).

The Bank of London seemingly has been funded from New York to irritate the
Middle East.  Recently, we made 91 highlights of research

associated with The Bank of London and the Middle East's recent sale to a
firm in Kuwait.

Harvey Schwartz is the Chairperson at The Bank of London, after spending
over 20 years at Goldman Sachs Group, where he oversaw sales and trading,
finance, technology, and operations. He completed his tenure as the firm’s
President and Co-Chief Operating Officer. He joined Goldman Sachs in 1997
and subsequently held numerous senior leadership positions including Chief
Financial Officer, Global Co-Head of the Securities Division, amongst other
positions. He additionally served as a member of the firm’s Management
Committee and co-headed its Risk Committee, Steering Committee on
Regulatory Reform and Finance Committee. Mr. Schwartz established the
firm’s Investment Policy Committee on which he also served as a member.

It would appear that Mr. Schwartz has no friendly diplomatic agenda in
London banking, potentially looking to profit off of The Bank of London and
the Middle East.

Furthermore, Goldman Sachs seemingly has a part in the scheme from New York.

Bank of London and the Middle East is listed on the NASDAQ, Dubai.

   -

   Mr. Marzulli, during a recent telephone discussion together it was your
   general assessment that the Deferred Agreement in question was self
   policing.  Can you kindly advise at your earliest convenience what (if any)
   DOJ systems, processes and control mechanisms are in place to monitor the
   purity of the Deferred Agreement?
   -

   Furthermore, if the Deferred Agreement is self-policing, can the DOJ
   kindly share any and all supporting material information that would prevent
   the agreement from being violated without the DOJ's general oversight?
   -

   Finally, we have made 28 highlights to Deferred Agreement
   

   as a reference resource tool.

Memo #1 and Memo #2 both outline instances that correspond with the
associated highlight references. We are concerned that potential breaches
to the Deferred Agreement are impacting our global enterprise.

We are looking forward to learning more about the DOJ’s approach to
assessing any potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement’s mandates.

Respectfully yours with anticipation,

Re: Dishonest Tor relay math question - tor-talk is to lazy

2022-12-06 Thread Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many
Back in the days people were used to using mixmaster etc, whereas
others migrated to then-modern p2p systems like i2p [and the word on
the digital street was that "real" anonymous people had custom built
onions that propagated through compromised systems -- and one saw a
lot of those, and there were simple tools all around]

If you look back at the history of mixmaster, it really stagnated at a
point, and it looks now like a struggle of very few devs to keep a
maintained codebase.

I don't know, of course, I was never involved with mail relays, but
it's an interesting parallel to the Tor situation.

Similarly, it is quite hard, nowadays, for me, to find modern
anonymity research papers. As Tor was getting more criticized, a lot
of new research was cropping up.

It used to be that most of the internet was anonymous, really. A lot
of the norms or topics of discussion still assume this, when it has
possibly been no longer true in general.

A bit of a chicken-and-egg situation: you may need to be anonymous to
produce a popular anonymity product that works. Still, they have been
happening.

Any project or paper people would point out nowadays?

Tor still seems quite useful.

The Role of the Tor Project Board and Conflicts of Interest

https://blog.torproject.org/role-tor-project-board-conflicts-interest/

by isabela | October 3, 2022

Over the last couple of weeks, friends of the Tor Project have been
raising questions about how Tor Project thinks of conflicts of
interest and its board members, in light of the reporting from
Motherboard about Team Cymru. I understand why folks would have
questions, and so I want to write a bit about how the board of
directors interacts with the Tor Project, and how our conflict of
interest process works.

The Role of the Board

First off, a word about non-profit boards of directors. Although every
non-profit is unique in its own way, the purpose of a board of an
organization like The Tor Project, with a substantial staff and
community, is not to set day-to-day policy or make engineering
decisions for the organization. The board's primary role is a
fiduciary one: to ensure that Tor is meeting its obligations under its
bylaws and charter, and “hire/fire” power over the executive director.
Although staff members may consult board members with relevant
expertise over strategic decisions, and board members are selected in
part for their background in the space, the board is separate from the
maintenance and decision-making on Tor's code, and a board seat
doesn't come with any special privileges over the Tor network. Board
members may be consulted on technical decisions, but they don't make
them. The Tor Project's staff and volunteers do. The Tor Project also
has a social contract which everyone at Tor, including board members,
has to comply with.

When we invite a person to join the Board, we are looking at the
overall individual, their experience, expertise, character, and other
qualities. We are not looking at them as representatives of another
organization. But because Board members have fiduciary duties, they
are are required to agree to a conflict of interest policy. That
policy defines a conflict as “...the signee has an economic interest
in, or acts as an officer or a director of, any outside entity whose
financial interests would reasonably appear to be affected by the
signee's relationship with The Tor Project, Inc. The signee should
also disclose any personal, business, or volunteer affiliations that
may give rise to a real or apparent conflict of interest.”

Handling Conflicts of Interest

Like most conflict processes under United States law, non-profit
conflicts rely on individuals to assess their own interests and the
degree to which they might diverge. The onus is often on individual
board members, who know the extent of their obligations, to raise
questions about conflicts to the rest of the board, or to recuse
themselves from decisions.

It also means that conflicts, and perceived conflicts, change over
time. In the case of Rob Thomas's work with Team Cymru, the Tor
Project staff and volunteers expressed concerns to me at the end of
2021, spurring internal conversations. I believe it is important to
listen to the community, and so I worked to facilitate discussions and
surface questions that we could try to address. During these
conversations, it became clear that although Team Cymru may offer
services that run counter to the mission of Tor, there was no
indication that Rob Thomas's role in the provision of those services
created any direct risk to Tor users, which was our primary concern.
This was also discussed by the Board in March and the Board came to
the same conclusion.

But of course, not actively endangering our users is a low bar. It is
reasonable to raise questions about the inherent disconnection between
the business model of Team Cymru and the mission of Tor which consists
of private and anonymous internet access for all. Rob Thomas's reasons
for choosing to resign from the board are his own, but it has become
more clear over the months since our initial conversation how Team
Cymru's work is at odds with the Tor Project's mission.

What's Next

We at Tor, me, the board, staff and volunteers, will continue these
conversations to identify how to do better from what we have learned
here.

I have been working with the board to see where things can be done
better in general. One of these initiatives is changing the Tor
Project's board recruitment process. Historically, recruitment for
board slots has been ad hoc - with current board members or project
staff suggesting potential new candidates. This selection process has
limited the pool of who has joined the board, and meant that we do not
always reflect the diversity of experiences or

## How it works?

- **Petals** runs inference or fine-tunes large language models like
[BLOOM-176B](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) by joining
compute resources with people all over the Internet.
- One participant with weak GPU can load a small part of the model,
then team up with people serving the other parts to run inference or
fine-tuning.
- Inference runs at ≈ 1 sec per step (token) — 10x faster than
possible with offloading, enough for chatbots and other interactive
apps. Parallel inference reaches hundreds of tokens/sec.
- Beyond classic language model APIs — you can employ any fine-tuning
and sampling methods by executing custom paths through the model or
accessing its hidden states. This combines the comforts of an API with
the flexibility of PyTorch.

###  Terms of use

Before using Petals to run a language model, please make sure that you
are familiar with its terms of use, risks, and limitations. In case of
BLOOM, they are described in its [model
card](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) and
[license](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license).

###  Privacy and security

If you work with sensitive data, you should only use a private swarm
(or a subset of servers in the public swarm) hosted by people and
institutions you trust, who are authorized to process this data.

This is important because it's technically possible for peers serving
model layers to recover input data or model outputs. Also, if there
are malicious peers, they may alter their outputs to influence the
model outputs. See a more detailed discussion in Section 4 of our
[paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.01188.pdf).

## FAQ

1. **What's the motivation for people to host model layers in the
public swarm?**

People who run inference and fine-tuning themselves get a certain
speedup if they host a part of the model locally. Some may be also
motivated to "give back" to the community helping them to run the
model (similarly to how
[BitTorrent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) users help
others by sharing data they have already downloaded).

Since it may be not enough for everyone, we are also working on
introducing explicit __incentives__ ("bloom points") for people
donating their GPU time to the public swarm. Once this system is
ready, people who earned these points will be able to spend them on
inference/fine-tuning with higher priority or increased security
guarantees, or (maybe) exchange them for other rewards.

2. **Why is the platform named "Petals"?**

"Petals" is a metaphor for people serving different parts of the
model. Together, they host the entire language model 
[BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom).

While our platform focuses on BLOOM now, we aim to support more
[foundation models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.07258) in future.

Responsibility Of The Employer In Dangerous And Very Dangerous Jobs - Health & Safety - Turkey

Turkey: Responsibility Of The Employer In Dangerous And Very Dangerous Jobs
05 December 2022
by Ece Nur Karakaş
CottGroup
In the concrete case, which is subject of the decision of the 12th Criminal
Department of the Court of Appeal with Basic 2020/1413, Dated November 17,
2021 and Decision numbered 2021/8051,it has been determined that the
employee who lost his life due to a work accident worked as an electrician
in the electrical work included in the dangerous work class, but he did not
have a diploma or vocational education document related to electrical work.
Since this situation is prohibited in the Occupational Health and Safety
Law and the employer does not fulfill its obligations listed in
Occupational Health and Safety Law, the Court of Appeal decided that the
crime of killing by gross negligence was committed against employee.

REVIEWING OF THE DECISION
In the Occupational Health and Safety Law (in Turkish) ("Law"), some jobs
are separated from others and classified as dangerous and very dangerous
jobs. The main reason for this distinction is to keep the employer's
supervision and control obligation at the highest level and the minimize
both the degree of damage and the number of work accidents that may occur
with it.

OBLIGATIONS OF EMPLOYER
The Law has brought more than one obligation to the employer to ensure the
safety of life and property of the employee. Some of them as follows;

General obligation of the employer (art. 4),
Supporting occupational health and safety services (art. 7),
Obligation to have risk assessment, control, measurement, and research
(art. 10),
Obligation to determine emergency and evacuation plans (art. 11-12),
Obligation to inform employers (art.16).
The obligation, which is the basis of this decision of the Court of Appeal
and which is violated by the employer, is regulated in the Article 17/3 of
the Law. "Those who do not certify that they have received vocational
training cannot be employed in the dangerous and very dangerous jobs that
require vocational training." The legislator clearly protected the employee
who works in dangerous and very dangerous jobs and brought the employer to
control the requirement process. As in the concrete case, the employer who
does not fulfill its inspection obligation will be the most reasonable
party in the case of work accident.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE
In addition to these obligations for which the employer is responsible, the
Law also imposes an obligation on the employee to comply with the
instructions of the employer. According to the art. 19 of the Law;
"Employees are obliged not to endanger the health and safety of themselves,
and other employees affected by their actions or work, in line with the
training they receive regarding occupational health and safety and the
employer's instructions this matter."

DECISION OF THE COURT OF APPEAL
Considering the obligations of both the employee and the employer, the
Court of Appeal has included the following statements in the Decision;

"The deceased employee did not have a diploma related to the electrical
profession and did not receive any professional training in this regard,
In the article 17/3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Law the clause,
"Those who do not certify that they have received vocational training
cannot be employed in the dangerous and very dangerous jobs that require
vocational training." is included,
In this context, according to the content of file, defendant who employs
the deceased as an electrician despite the absence of a diploma or
vocational training document related to electrical work, which is in the
very dangerous work class, it has unanimously decided on November 17, 2021,
that the provisions of deliberate negligence should be applied in
accordance with the art. 22/3 of TCK ("Turkish Penal Code")."
CONCLUSION
It should be noted that these obligations imposed on the employer within
the scope of the Occupational Health and Safety Law and all relevant
legislation are brought to prevent work accidents and that employers should
not employ persons who cannot certify their professional competence in
dangerous and very dangerous jobs.


Directorates Who Discredit Truthful Witnesses (W/80 Highlights)

2022-12-06 Thread Gunnar Larson
“And the persons who ultimately are harmed by all of this, of course, is
the average consumer, the average citizen, who has no knowledge, unless it
paid attention to this hearing, of the extent of the manipulations that
have been carried out by the largest financial institutions in America and,
indeed, probably the world.” - Senator John McCain

*Highlights and working notes on the ethical limits of discrediting the
truthful witness, observing modern directorates and ethics rules that fail
to prevent truth distortion by unethical means (Source research by
Marquette Law Review).*

History provides the epic example of Enron and a cunning Board of Directors
of misleaders, a team of flimflam artists who used sly rhetorical skills to
bamboozle the public, turning night into day. In this conception,
directorates tell stories only in order to seduce and beguile regulators
who fall prey to the advocate’s star-crossed tricks.

Why do company Directors employ unethical, false story techniques to
advance a false defense when ethical means are available? The exponential
effects of this troublesome behavior requires that the firm’s every word,
action and attitude be consistent with the conclusion that is dishonest.
Board directors are the ultimate self policing body of an organization,
responsible for setting the tone for ethical rules and standards.
Not only are modern ethical rules unable to prevent directorates who use of
false-story techniques, but little can be done in the way of reforming the
rules themselves so that they can more effectively regulate the unethical
means by which honesty is systematically discredited and made to look
untruthful.

   As witnessed in New York State recently, top leaders sometimes ignore
   ethical rules by rationalizing away conduct known to be unethical standards
   of professional behavior.
   -

   More abstract-oriented discussions concerning whether society’s best
   interests are advanced with attempts to distort outcomes by discrediting
   the truth has even impacted virtual currency innovation out of New York.
   These points simply seem invented as an outrageous scenario presented to
   the public by way of question, yet they are indeed true.
   -

   There is a pattern of routinely using an arsenal of tricks to subvert
   the truth. The culprit may argue that the version of events is untruthful,
   because of a motive to fabricate the truth. In actuality, incompetence is
   the only true motive to fabricate directorate supported dishonesty.

Now more than ever, honest and ethical leaders know that each time a
directorate uses talents and skills to pollute the marketplace with lies
(either explicit or implicit) to manipulate profits is an act that
initially diminishes the chances of a prosperous society.
Such practice of engaging in conduct that involves dishonesty, fraud,
deceit or misrepresentation is impermissible and should not be tolerated.
Without swift action, the public may lose confidence in both system wide
innovation and maximizing the whole human potential of our species.

   -

   Alternatively, employing truthful answers to string together a series of
   inferences that collectively weaken the case of interlocking directorates.
   -

   Vigorously defending potentially problematic interlocking directorates
   can be systematically re-purposed with the goal of protecting the innocent.

We share 80 highlights to Todd A. Berger’s (published by Marquette Law
Review) “The Ethical Limits of Discrediting the Truthful Witness: How
Modern Ethics Rules Fail to Prevent Truthful Witnesses from Being
Discredited Through Unethical Means.”

Dear Attorney General Letitia James:

xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC seeks to earn your esteemed approval to engage the
New York False Claims Act under urgent pretences.

Today's correspondence marks the first time in history, a self-titled
"mafia" (aka, the "PayPal Mafia '') is compelled to answer publicly the
decision to manipulate both the New York False Claims Act and the Martin
Act against one another.

   - Madam Attorney General, your leadership approach has historical context

case
   precedent.
   - xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC research and development notes our hawkish
   approach to ESG, D and LBO innovation.
   - xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC sees this not a democrat vs. republican concern
   as Mr. Elon Musk (CEO, SpaceX and Tesla) claims. False pretense to
protect
   free speech are now being debated as party to a $200B pryamid scheme.

Ms. James, on May 21, 2022 xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC
<
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lv9Wt6y1ld4bNap0z3epIxttEGiP_oVpfxH0GTSK9lk/edit?usp=sharing

contacted the SpaceX Corporation with reasonable concern of CEO Musk's
intent behind the $44B Twitter LBO. The Orlando Police Pension Fund shared
similar concerns to the intent behind Twitter's LBO as illegal.

Since, market forces suggest that SpaceX and Tesla directors are part of
interlocking directorate, self proclaimed the PayPal Mafia. The racket
could waterfall to problem(s) at the New York State Department of Financial
Services with Superintendent association to D insurance regulation.

Ms. James, xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC seeks your office's urgent assessment of
this matter. We aim to earn approval to explore the New York False Claims
Act to confront SpaceX as a racket.

*Like a house of cards, the PayPal Mafia  racket could risk a waterfall of
D  interlocking directorate insolvencies. In summary: *

   1. xNY.io - Bank.org's May 21, 2022 memo to SpaceX questioned intent
   behind baseless claims pioneered by SpaceX's CEO, branding ESG a scam via
   Exxon Mobil. Obviously, Exxon Mobil vs. New York State
   <

alludes
   Mr. Musk party to a false claim.
   2. SpaceX has failed to establish a preponderance of evidence and burden
   of proof not a racket.
   3. SpaceX has failed to prove that Twitter's LBO is not false claim to
   free speech protection.
   4. True social innovation cannot sponsor a fake news racket that could
   jeopardize space exploration and war.
   5. Twitter's LBO dealmakers (Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase) company
   balance sheets, financial statements and other corporate records do not
   impact xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC holding a racket accountable to false
claims.

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla leveraging Exxon Mobil as an ESG
securities scam does not preclude the PayPal Mafia's intent to engage false
claims at the sacrifice of New York State's financial future.

Madam Attorney General James, we hope to hear from your esteemed office and
learn assessment of best next steps.

Thank you,

Gunnar

Secretary Yellen, We’ve Got a “Staggering” Problem: New Report Shows Foreign Banks Have Secret Derivative Debt that Is “10 Times their Capital”

2022-12-06 Thread Gunnar Larson
https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/12/secretary-yellen-weve-got-a-staggering-problem-new-report-shows-foreign-banks-have-secret-derivative-debt-that-is-10-times-their-capital/


 their Capital”
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 6, 2022 ~

Janet Yellen
Janet Yellen, U.S. Treasury Secretary

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has the dual role of Chairing the
Financial Stability Oversight Council (F-SOC), whose role is to provide
“comprehensive monitoring of the stability of our nation’s financial
system.” Heads of each of the federal agencies that supervise Wall Street
and the mega banks sit in on meetings of F-SOC.

One would think that such an august body would have a handle on
“staggering” threats to the U.S. financial system – especially since F-SOC
was created under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation to
prevent a replay of the off-balance sheet derivatives that crashed the U.S.
economy in 2008 and forced an unprecedented and secret bailout of U.S. and
foreign global banks by the Federal Reserve to the tune of $29 trillion. If
Yellen is aware of the latest threat to financial stability, she’s not
sharing the details with the public. That information came yesterday by way
of a stunning report authored by Claudio Borio, Robert McCauley and Patrick
McGuire for the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

The report focuses on the amount of derivative debt that is not being
captured through regular statistical reporting because it is held off the
balance sheet. These derivatives consist of foreign exchange swaps,
forwards and currency swaps. The authors call this exposure “staggering”
but focus primarily on the potential for upsets to dollar swap lines to
settle it as it comes due. A greater concern, in our estimation, is this
line from the report: “For banks headquartered outside the United States,
dollar debt from these instruments is estimated at $39 trillion, more than
double their on-balance sheet dollar debt and more than 10 times their
capital.” Their on-balance sheet dollar debt is $15 trillion.

This is reminiscent of Goldman Sachs engaging in derivative trades with
Greece to hide its mountain of debt prior to it blowing up.

Global foreign banks are – for better or worse – an integral part of the
U.S. financial system. When there is a crisis, such as the Wall Street
implosion in 2008 or the pandemic in 2020, the Federal Reserve bails out
global foreign banks along with global domestic banks. Why does it do that?
Because the trading units of foreign global banks, as well as domestic
global banks, make up what the Fed calls its “primary dealers.” The primary
dealers are contractually obligated to make purchases of U.S. Treasury
securities at each U.S. Treasury auction and to trade with the New York Fed
to carry out Federal Reserve monetary policy.

Since the financial crisis of 2008 and the eventual disclosure of the Fed’s
unprecedented bailouts, the Fed has made a big show of conducting stress
tests and bragging about the high level of capital it requires of the
G-SIBS (Global Systemically Important Banks). So to learn from the Bank for
International Settlements yesterday that foreign banks have $39 trillion in
derivative debts that are not showing on their balance sheets and that
represent “10 times their capital” makes the Fed, F-SOC and its Chair,
Janet Yellen, look very Alan Greenspan-esque. Greenspan, Chairman of the
Fed for an unprecedented 19 years from 1987 to 2006, was asleep at the
switch as Wall Street built up its off-balance sheet toxic derivatives that
would blow up the U.S. economy in 2008. Greenspan had argued against the
regulation of derivatives.

An equal concern for Yellen, Congress, and every engaged American is the
fact that all it takes is one heavily interconnected global bank (foreign
or domestic) to set off a wave of contagion in global financial markets.
And, there is no question that the counterparties to a significant amount
of that $39 trillion in off-balance sheet derivative debt at foreign banks
are the big five derivative banks in the U.S.: JPMorgan Chase, Goldman
Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley.

How do we know that? Because the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
publishes a “Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities.”
In the most recent report for the second quarter of this year, those five
bank holding companies listed above represented $221.539 trillion in
notional derivative exposures, or 84 percent of the derivative exposures of
the largest 25 bank holding companies in the U.S. (See Table 14 in the
Appendix of the OCC report linked above.)

Furthermore, it’s not like the share price of these global foreign banks
aren’t screaming that there’s a big problem. Credit Suisse (Ticker CS)
closed yesterday at $3.34, 35 cents from its all-time low and down 65
percent year-to-date. Mizuho Financial Group (Ticker MFG) is also trading
in the low single digits, closing yesterday in New York at $2.38.

Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement

Eastern District of New York

Brooklyn New York, 11201

Re: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement

Dear Mr. Marzulli:

The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1, Memo #2 and Memo
#3 with our recent inquiry to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred
Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred Prosecution Agreement

with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical
enforcement being concerned.
Memo #4 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with war crimes of
aggression (in the planning, initiation, or execution of a large-scale and
serious act of aggression), leveraging the world’s only military divided
capital city Nicosia, Cyprus.

   1.

   Additionally, Memo #4 aims to earn the DOJ’s assessment of New York
   State’s regulatory marketplace manipulation deriving the war crime against
   peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or
   participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of
   aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed
   conflict.
   2.

   In this case, the first challenge is to observe and consider the simple
   idea that the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs
   alone, through means of regulatory arbitrage naively fails to recognize the
   ‘cause and effect’ relationship at play at the inception of Memo #4’s
   assertion of war crimes.
   3.

   Even with the best of intentions, perhaps unknowingly the DOJ may be
   amplifying the effect of potential war crimes by indirectly supplementing
   the root cause of the problem and financial model of the Deferred Agreement
   being self-policing.

Mr. Marzulli, there has been an active United Nations peacekeeping mission
in Cyprus since the 1964 Turkish military invasion and occupation of the
northern third of Cyprus. Only Turkey recognises the Turkish Republic of
Northern Cyprus, while there is broad recognition that the ongoing military
presence constitutes occupation of territories that are under Turkish
military control.


   -

   The graduate education behind Memo #4 is a product of the University of
   Nicosia’s (UNIC) main campus, located adjacent to the United Nations Buffer
   Zone that separates the invaded Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the
   Republic of Cyprus, which joined the European Union in 2004.
   -

   Memo #4 is also a product of United Nations consultancy, based at its
   Manhattan headquarters, where (today, what is now xNY.io - Bank.org)
   was credited with increasing the breadth and accessibility of reference
   content from the world’s most important multinational organization.
   -

   Memo #4’s subject of war crimes has preeminent association with such
   projects as the Audio Visual Library of International Law.

Over the following sections, Memo #4 will provide a detailed timeline that
would constitute real concern of the war crime of aggression yielding the
war crime against peace in active war conflict in the world’s only military
divided capital, funded from Manhattan Island.

The Bank of Cyprus and Illegal Short Selling Irregularities of Turkey’s
Markets

Mr. Marzulli, turn this matter as we will, and look at it from any side
whatsoever, and it presents the appearance of a cross-border act of
aggression. Goldman Sachs’ potential disrespect to the Deferred Agreement’s
core values has cultivated new crimes that aim to manipulate cross-border
war crime regulatory frameworks.

   -

   On April 02, 2021 the Financial Times reported that Turkey fined Goldman
   Sachs over alleged irregularities in short selling, just a week after
   foreign investors pulled $1.9B from the country’s stock and bond markets.
   Turkey’s Capital Markets Board said that Goldman Sachs was among 10
   securities firms that had placed orders for short selling without proper
   notification, violating rules enacted previously that temporarily
   prohibited such transactions.
   -

   On April 20, 2021 the CyprusMail (Cyprus’ only English Language daily
   newspaper) reported Goldman Sachs International acted as Global
   Coordinators and Dealer Managers in a $330M bond issuance for the Bank of
   Cyprus.


Given the active military conflict in Cyprus, Memo #4 notes that there is
one place on the planet you are not supposed to do this sort of thing.
Furthermore, the DOJ’s Deferred Agreement with Goldman Sachs may have been
tainted with the potential war crime of aggression, risking international
peace and the lives of United Nations peacekeepers, while jeopardizing the
United States of

This mural, created by Banksy, portrays the Apple co-founder as a Syrian
refugee, drawing attention to his roots.BANKSY

As civil war and Islamic State-related violence rend Syria, thousands are
fleeing the country and looking to resettle.

While some countries, such as Canada, are welcoming Syrian refugees with
open arms, others, such as the United States, have been more xenophobic.

Renowned graffiti artist Banksy recently did an installation in a Calais
refugee camp depicting Steve Jobs as a Syrian refugee.


BANKSY

"We're often led to believe migration is a drain on the country's resources
but Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant," Banksy said in a rare
public statement obtained by BBC.

Indeed, Jobs's biological father is Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, a
Syrian-born man who emigrated to the United States.


BANKSY

"Apple is the world's most profitable company," Banksy added. "It pays over
$7bn (£4.6bn) a year in taxes - and it only exists because [the United
States] allowed in a young man from Homs."

Directorates Who Discredit Truthful Witnesses (W/80 Highlights)

2022-12-06 Thread Gunnar Larson
“And the persons who ultimately are harmed by all of this, of course, is
the average consumer, the average citizen, who has no knowledge, unless it
paid attention to this hearing, of the extent of the manipulations that
have been carried out by the largest financial institutions in America and,
indeed, probably the world.” - Senator John McCain

*Highlights and working notes on the ethical limits of discrediting the
truthful witness, observing modern directorates and ethics rules that fail
to prevent truth distortion by unethical means (Source research by
Marquette Law Review).*

History provides the epic example of Enron and a cunning Board of Directors
of misleaders, a team of flimflam artists who used sly rhetorical skills to
bamboozle the public, turning night into day. In this conception,
directorates tell stories only in order to seduce and beguile regulators
who fall prey to the advocate’s star-crossed tricks.

Why do company Directors employ unethical, false story techniques to
advance a false defense when ethical means are available? The exponential
effects of this troublesome behavior requires that the firm’s every word,
action and attitude be consistent with the conclusion that is dishonest.
Board directors are the ultimate self policing body of an organization,
responsible for setting the tone for ethical rules and standards.
Not only are modern ethical rules unable to prevent directorates who use of
false-story techniques, but little can be done in the way of reforming the
rules themselves so that they can more effectively regulate the unethical
means by which honesty is systematically discredited and made to look
untruthful.

   -

   As witnessed in New York State recently, top leaders sometimes ignore
   ethical rules by rationalizing away conduct known to be unethical standards
   of professional behavior.
   -

   More abstract-oriented discussions concerning whether society’s best
   interests are advanced with attempts to distort outcomes by discrediting
   the truth has even impacted virtual currency innovation out of New York.
   These points simply seem invented as an outrageous scenario presented to
   the public by way of question, yet they are indeed true.
   -

   There is a pattern of routinely using an arsenal of tricks to subvert
   the truth. The culprit may argue that the version of events is untruthful,
   because of a motive to fabricate the truth. In actuality, incompetence is
   the only true motive to fabricate directorate supported dishonesty.

Now more than ever, honest and ethical leaders know that each time a
directorate uses talents and skills to pollute the marketplace with lies
(either explicit or implicit) to manipulate profits is an act that
initially diminishes the chances of a prosperous society.
Such practice of engaging in conduct that involves dishonesty, fraud,
deceit or misrepresentation is impermissible and should not be tolerated.
Without swift action, the public may lose confidence in both system wide
innovation and maximizing the whole human potential of our species.

   -

   Alternatively, employing truthful answers to string together a series of
   inferences that collectively weaken the case of interlocking directorates.
   -

   Vigorously defending potentially problematic interlocking directorates
   can be systematically re-purposed with the goal of protecting the innocent.

We share 80 highlights to Todd A. Berger’s (published by Marquette Law
Review) “The Ethical Limits of Discrediting the Truthful Witness: How
Modern Ethics Rules Fail to Prevent Truthful Witnesses from Being

   - xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC sees this not a democrat vs. republican concern

contacted the SpaceX Corporation with reasonable concern of CEO Musk's
intent behind the $44B Twitter LBO. The Orlando Police Pension Fund shared
similar concerns to the intent behind Twitter's LBO as illegal.

Since, market forces suggest that SpaceX and Tesla directors are part of
interlocking directorate, self proclaimed the PayPal Mafia. The racket
could waterfall to problem(s) at the New York State Department of Financial
Services with Superintendent association to D insurance regulation.

Ms. James, xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC seeks your office's urgent assessment of
this matter. We aim to earn approval to explore the New York False Claims
Act to confront SpaceX as a racket.

*Like a house of cards, the PayPal Mafia  racket could risk a waterfall of
D  interlocking directorate insolvencies. In summary: *

   1. xNY.io - Bank.org's May 21, 2022 memo to SpaceX questioned intent
   behind baseless claims pioneered by SpaceX's CEO, branding ESG a scam via
   Exxon Mobil. Obviously, Exxon Mobil vs. New York State

alludes
   Mr. Musk party to a false claim.
   2. SpaceX has failed to establish a preponderance of evidence and burden
   of proof not a racket.
   3. SpaceX has failed to prove that Twitter's LBO is not false claim to
   free speech protection.
   4. True social innovation cannot sponsor a fake news racket that could
   jeopardize space exploration and war.
   5. Twitter's LBO dealmakers (Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase) company
   balance sheets, financial statements and other corporate records do not
   impact xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC holding a racket accountable to false
claims.

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla leveraging Exxon Mobil as an ESG
securities scam does not preclude the PayPal Mafia's intent to engage false
claims at the sacrifice of New York State's financial future.

Madam Attorney General James, we hope to hear from your esteemed office and
learn assessment of best next steps.

Thank you,

Gunnar

United States: Cannabis A Changing Outlook

2022-12-06 Thread Gunnar Larson
https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/cannabis-hemp/1257490/cannabis-a-changing-outlook?email_access=on


In 2016, Colombia opened the doors to the use of cannabis for medical and
scientific purposes. Since then, we have come a long way to the point of
having the regulation of recreational use being discussed within the
congress.

In 2021, the rules for the production of cannabis were changed and the
possibility of the promotion and advertisement of the cannabis was included.

However, the regulation of said advertisement was only issued in 2022.

Given the possibility of the new use of cannabis upon to be accepted it is
very important to note that by far, the only real rule issued concerning
the advertisement of cannabis is that it can only be done by a subject part
of the National Registry of Commercial Farmer managed by the Agricultural
Colombian Institute.

Other than that, the rules to be followed are the ones directed to the
specific king of good, for example:

Over- the- Counter'/Non-Prescription Medication: The advertisement has to
be approved by the Health Authority before it reaches the public.
Prescription Medication: Prescription medication can only be advertised or
promoted in technical or scientific publications, addressed exclusively to
health professionals.
Taking into account the nature of the new use, it is possible that new
rules concerning advertisement are going to be set.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the
subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific
circumstances.

This has obviously already been happening in various manners, and
reflects power balances regarding present use of these technologies.

In a normal world, a wiki with AI contribution works great, because
there are more benevolent AI bot devs than malicious ones.

We don't need any ChatGPT

2022-12-06 Thread professor rat
So long as we have Semich, Garofalo and Gramps

 ' . . .  To date, there’s been little evidence of the harmful effects of LLMs 
in the real world. But these recent events at Stack Overflow support the 
argument that the scale of these systems does indeed create new challenges. The 
site’s mods say as much in announcing the ban on ChatGPT, noting that the 
“volume of these [AI-generated] answers (thousands) and the fact that the 
answers often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject 
matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has 
effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure.”

The worry is that this pattern could be repeated on other platforms, with a 
flood of AI content drowning out the voices of real users with plausible but 
incorrect data. Exactly how this could play out in different domains around the 
web, though, would depend on the exact nature of the platform and its 
moderation capabilities. Whether or not these problems can be mitigated in the 
future using tools like improved spam filters remains to be seen."
