⚡️💬 NEW - Sam Altman answered Elon’s “money won’t matter in 2036” statement Sam Altman: “Clearly I think money will still matter in 10 years.” “One of the greatest concerns I have with AI is the concentration of power and concentration of wealth.” “There are all of these ways where I think it will make a lot of things much cheaper and better, and you don’t have to buy a car, and that’ll be great.” “But yeah, I think that there are many reasons to think that it won’t just magically solve wealth inequality.”

⚡️🚨 NEW - A cybersecurity expert is currently on trial in the United States for allegedly stealing nearly $55 million in cryptocurrency… before laundering a portion of it through extremely rare Pokémon and Magic cards. Jonathan Spalletta is accused of hacking Uranium Finance twice in April 2021. The main attack reportedly exploited a vulnerability in a smart contract to drain 26 liquidity pools and steal approximately $53.3 million. He has pleaded not guilty, and the charges have yet to be proven at trial. According to prosecutors, some of the cryptocurrency was then routed through Tornado Cash before being laundered into collectibles. Among the alleged purchases were a complete first-edition Pokémon Base Set for $750,000, a sealed first-edition Pokémon box for $257,500, a Magic: The Gathering Black Lotus for $500,000, and 18 Alpha booster packs for over $1.5 million. Authorities also say they seized approximately $31 million in cryptocurrency linked to the case in 2025. Although chat logs show Spalletta allegedly writing “I did a crypto heist,” his defense argues that the prosecution will not be able to prove who was actually behind the keyboard at the time of the attacks.

⚡️⭕️ BIG - Jared Kushner's investment firm is the largest shareholder in an Israeli financial company with at least $456 million invested in nine firms supplying Israel's military, CNN reports. Kushner's Affinity Partners holds a 7.4% stake in Phoenix Financial, worth over $1 billion. Phoenix's holdings include: 
➤ $265 million in Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms maker 
➤ $40 million in Reshef Technologies, which makes fuzes for shells used in Gaza 
➤ $68 million in Next Vision, which makes cameras for military drones ➤ Phoenix also holds stakes in Caterpillar, whose D9 bulldozers are used by the Israeli military to ethnically cleanse communities in Gaza (as well as other parts of occupied Palestine and Lebanon), and in Israel Shipyards, a key Israeli Navy supplier. Kushner sits on the Board of Peace overseeing Gaza. In August, after Hamas accepted a Board of Peace disarmament roadmap, Gaza saw its first week-long lull in new killings since October 2023. Kushner then met Netanyahu in Jerusalem, who showed him public opinion polls finding most Israelis want strikes in Gaza to continue, Axios reported. The talks ended with Kushner giving Israel a “green light” to keep striking Gaza, Haaretz reported. Israel has killed more than 200 Palestinians since. Kushner said last year he meets Phoenix's leadership every few weeks. The White House called the conflict-of-interest concerns a "tired narrative."

⚡️🎮 GAMING - Path of Exile co-creator Chris Wilson thinks Diablo 5 might miss its spring 2029 release window.

Wilson notes Path of Exile took around eight years to develop and says Diablo 5 will also need a huge amount of content at launch. “My best guess here is the game won’t be ready for spring 2029,”
