Unusually, Eric Adams has done the most predictable thing possible.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

For a group that so strictly controls what it communicates — one that debates intensity over a may, a shall, vs a could — to say this so bluntly is shocking.

Really looking forward to markets tomorrow...just not doing nothing at all. Just completely shrugging as all fundamentals collapse around them.
this is just patently ridiculous, Trump is now running a sham investigation into Chair Powell just because he wants him to lower interest rates faster
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell related to the Federal Reserve’s Washington headquarters, the New York Times reports.
