Watch Notorious Whistleblower Chelsea Manning DJ at a Brooklyn Rave
We did not Chelsea this coming. A former United States Army soldier, Chelsea Manning was famously convicted in 2013 for a myriad of offenses, including violations of the Espionage Act, after leaking nearly 750,000 classified military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. She served seven years in prison, from 2010 to 2017, after her sentence was commuted by former President Barack Obama. After her release from prison in 2017, Manning, a former DJ, made her living through various speaking engagements. And after teasing a return to music earlier this summer, it appears she has dusted off her turntables and updated her Rekordbox library. Manning recently performed at a rave in Brooklyn, throwing down a DJ set at Elsewhere after a hiatus of over 15 years. Scroll to Continue Rec...
For greater good: NY judge allows Celsius to mine, sell Bitcoin
Not even 24 hours after revealing a three-month cash flow forecast that threatens total exhaustion of funds, a New York judge allowed crypto lender Celsius Network to mine and sell Bitcoin (BTC) during its bankruptcy. Since July 2022, Celsius Networks stands at the crosshair of United States officials after reports of bankruptcy surfaced, which risks losing the live savings of numerous crypto investors. Last week many got very upset with me as I said @CelsiusNetwork would run out of money & solutions needed to be acted upon faster. I was told I don’t understand Chapter 11. They have now confirmed they run out of money by October. https://t.co/CyzjgKpId7 pic.twitter.com/vBIRIGEmG2 — Simon Dixon (Beware Impersonators) (@SimonDixonTwitt) August 15, 2022 During the second day of the case h...
