> On June 29, two months after Zondacrypto’s website shut down, the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit revoked the license of its parent company.
Zondacrypto has been the subject of speculation in both Poland’s Parliament and its news media over whether it was a legitimate company simply upended by bad bets on crypto, or a criminal enterprise that had been set up to launder money. Bitcoin has lost half its value since October. Prosecutors in Katowice have opened an investigation into the “circumstances surrounding the establishment and operation” of Zondacrypto.
Perhaps the one person who could provide answers is Mr. Kral, who has not been seen in four months.
There have been several unconfirmed sightings of him, in Israel, Botswana and Dubai. Mr. Nogacki, the lawyer representing the exchanges’s clients, thinks Mr. Kral is probably in Southeast Asia. But he says he is sure of only one thing about Zondacrypto: “It was a fraud from the first day.”
In one picture, there is a rail line, a stadium, a casino, a leafy boulevard, some large sculptures, public transport (busses running in the early morning) and parking sports. Actual open parking spots! Even the park benches are nice. Not stupid anti-homeless structures but plain benches where people can actually sit comfortably. And the buildings, at least a half-dozen different styles in one photo. There are so many reasons why none of that is possible in north america.
You might like Melbourne, Federation square is beside Art galleries, trams, heritage train station, casino across the river, stadiums a short journey, though empty parking spots would be rare.
You just cited most cities in Europe. Except the one you want to live in is probably one of the ones where Europeans wouldn't actually want to live (due to, but not only, pollution).
Believe me you don't want to live in Katowice, trust the locals [1]. Nowadays the city is a vehicle where cash is allocated into real estate and nothing more.
Demographically the city received once in a century opportunity - millennials - and they basically kicked them out from the city in the 1990s and 2000s.
This situation stinks from afar with a cover up operation of Polish, Israeli and perhaps some other intelligence agencies. How easily they dissappear people into thin air and to Monaco and Israel. For a moment Zonda was everywhere in Poland - from prime minister's t-shirt to many stadiums. I don't think criminals are capable of this, but Poland is a rotten state so who knows. Russia is such an easy explanation for politicians and public officials right now.
After the final failure Polish media announced instantly that "the boss is in Israel there's nothing that can be done". Polish prosecutor travelled informally to Middle East to meet him and... beg him to cooperate.
"Through a right-wing Polish TV station, it also partly financed a gathering last year in Poland of the Conservative Political Action Conference, an American organization close to Mr. Trump’s MAGA movement."
This is a low bar to praise though, literally anybody can show DJT in a bad light just by rolling raw footage.
How about singling out Fox News and Newsmax for their efforts in always showing DJT in a good light, day in, day out, no matter WTF he "truths" or how hard he bombs.
There's some dedicated goal orientated journalism of note.

I want to live in that city!

Problem is the most retarded gouvernement in the world that goes with this place...

I remember smelling the coal the moment I stepped off the plane. I was there for work a few times, unfortunately only in the winter.

Israel won’t extradite citizens if they don’t want to and there’s nothing a western government can do.
Why is that the case you might ask, given that they’re “our greatest ally”?
Well that’s a good question
He was granted Israeli citizenship while Zonda was already disintegrating, awaiting for it in Monaco.

Scammers of a feather...

NYT can always find a way to present DJT in a bad light in any article with any context. This is another fine example.

Oh I think DJT is doing a splendid job at that himself, I don't believe the NYT has to try particularly hard.
It'd be a lot harder to present Trump in a positive context in reference to crypto, not quite sure how it could be done. How would that be framed?
