И последнее на сегодня про такую странную Америку. New York Post пишет, что миллиардер и «делатель королей» Сорос (по происхождению - этнический еврей из Венгрии) финансировал несколько пропалестинских организаций в США. С 16 г. его фонд «Открытое общество» выделил более $15 млн «осуждающим израильскую оккупацию». Из них около $14 млн получили те, кого сейчас обвиняют в оправдании нападения ХАМАС. А в 18м Сорос г. дал грант на $60 тыс. Арабо-американской ассоциации Нью-Йорка. 21 октября с.г. та провела жесткий антиизраильский митинг в Бруклине, во время которого произошли стычки с полицией.

At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels." Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. He adds: "Telegram has become my primary news source."
