In one recent case, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock agreed to cut its gender studies minor after Republican lawmakers threatened to block its budget. They argued th
A major crypto failure doesn’t always ruin reputations. In fact, it can sometimes lead to a new career. One trader, known as 0xSisyphus, lost $60 million in a failed project called AnubisDAO back in 2022. The money vanished, victims got nothing back, and no one faced legal consequences. Yet instead
