profit per employee comparison of:
- #Tether
- #Nvidia
- #GoldmanSachs
- #Meta
- #Apple
shows very clearly how profitable it can be to run a noncompliant bank / money laundry for terrorists, drug lords, and rogue nuclear states that derives 100% of its income from the government teat (especially when you put the owners of that noncompliant bank / money laundry in the White House and let them write their own financial regulations).

"The Criminals' Go-To Cryptocurrency Has a New Friend in the White House"
Missed this great #FT reporting last month:
> "The eye-popping constellation of gangsters and sanctions evaders using #Tether includes cocaine cartels, North Korean hackers, Iranian and Russian spies, and #fentanyl smugglers."
Tether is the most profitable company in the history of the world on a per employee basis and it's not even close. Crime pays, obviously (or at least collecting interest from the US government while you look the other way about terrorists and rogue nuclear states commiting crimes pays).

new article from #ZekeFaux in Bloomberg about the chairman of the #Trump transition team #HowardLutnick taking an ownership stake in "#Tether, the stablecoin used by drug traffickers, terrorists and scammers to move money around the world" and more specifically about $300 million in terrorist connected transactions:
> It turns out that particular crypto wallet was controlled by Sa’id al-Jamal, a financier of the #Houthi fighters attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea, according to the US Treasury Department... Still, he was able to use those crypto wallets to send and receive more than $300 million of Tether.

@su_liam @PattyHanson @FantasticalEconomics well i mean the #crypto guys do have a lot to be grateful for - if not for trump they'd probably eventually end up in prison for #moneylaundering or #sanctionsevasion.

#Russia_Sanctions: Raiffeisen Bank is reflecting on what to do with its branch in Russia. There are two options: 1) Sell it to a Russian entity or one associated with a “friendly country”; or 2) to swap it with the assets of Sberbank Europe, which are frozen in the EU.⤵️
