💰Die Demokraten sind trotz eines Wahlkampfbudgets von knapp einer Milliarde Dollar(!), welches deutlich über dem von Trump lag, am Ende mit einem zweistelligen Millionenbetrag im Minus gelandet, so dass Trump jetzt sogar anbot, offene Gehälter von Wahlkampfhelfern der Demokraten zu bezahlen.
Zig Millionen Dollar gingen alleine an Stars der Musik- und Unterhaltungsindustrie. Oprah Winfrey bekam eine Million Dollar für ihr Pro-Harris-Statement. Die Rapperin Megan Thee Stallion erhielt für einen Kurzauftritt 5 Millionen Dollar. Die Sängerin Beyonce soll für ihre Promotion sogar 10 Millionen Dollar kassiert haben. Petr Bystron: "Wie alle Sozialisten der Welt, sie können mit Geld nicht umgehen."

Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. 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. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
