Of Manipulators and Markets: Crypto Fraud Already Is Illegal, Defi Innovation Should Not Be
Jack Solowey andJennifer J. SchulpThis week, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)civilly charged Avraham Eisenberg with violating commodity exchange laws by allegedly manipulating crypto token and swap contract prices on Mango Markets, a decentralized crypto exchange (DEX). This follows on the heels of Eisenberg ’sarrest in Puerto Rico foralleged criminal commodities fraud and manipulation in connection with the same scheme.Contrary to a common narrative, these cases show that manipulation and fraud in crypto markets are not unregulated. They also highlight the regulatory uncertainty that decentraliz...

Productivity Starts With Courage
I recently starting developing a new deep dive course, which I expect to launch later this calendar quarter. It’s called Engage, and my intentions for it are ambitious.
Engage is about optimizing personal productivity and creating a powerfully engaged life. It’s going to be unlike any productivity course or book you’ve ever seen before. This will be our 6th course, and I want it to be our very best one – helping a wide range of people experience major productivity breakthroughs. I’m framing this as our one course to rule them all. I want this to be our #1 flagship course.
These are the big r...

Infrastructure is available nationally for states to leverage and customize locally for their unique Health Information Exchange needs

More Labor Market Margins of Adjustment
Ryan BourneMany people worry about the existence of labor market outcomes such as low pay, the absence of business family leave policies, or gender pay gaps. A typical response is to demand the government pass laws to ban these outcomes, or else to mandate business practices that avoid them. This is thought to help the affected workers.In a recent Cato book chapter, I explained that things rarely work out so simply. Profit‐making businesses find new ways to make up for higher labor costs or the diminished flexibility imposed upon them as new mandates are passed down. Some cut employment or hiring levels. But rec...

DE & I Initiatives Can Help Address Healthcare Workforce Challenge According to Deloitte
Implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives and addressing the workforce challenge in healthcare are not mutually exclusive. In fact, improving DE&I may be one of the quickest ways to alleviate the pressure of finding and keeping healthcare talent. How? Indigenous groups, visible minorities, and women are underutilized talent pools. With encouragement and training they could be a great source of healthcare staff.
Shanil Ebrahim, a Partner and the National Life Sciences & Healthcare Consulting Leader at Deloitte Canada, is a firm believer that strategies designed to improve the diversity of ...

Blockchain Could Save Healthcare Billions Every Year
The following is a guest article by Michael Kim, Senior Vice President/CIO at MultiPlan.
In recent years, blockchain has been one of the most-hyped technologies: A public ledger that lives on a network of computers, each validating any changes in real-time. Unlike traditional distributed databases with centralized management, blockchain offers a shared database, providing security, transparency, traceability, and speed. While the shared ledger idea can be traced back to the 80s, blockchain technology emerged in 2008 as the foundation for decentralized currency, namely Bitcoin.
While it is true the cryptocurrency mark...

One family ’s disastrous experience with a growth-driven long-term care company
by “E-PATIENT” DAVE DEBRONKART
Continuing THCB’s occasional series on actual experiences with the health care system. This is the first in a short series about a patient and family experience from one of America’s leading ePatients.
I’ve been blogging recently about what happens in American healthcare when predatory investor-driven companies start moving into care industries because the money’s good and enforcement is lax. The first two posts were about recent articles in The New Yorker on companies that are more interested in sales and growth than caring. I now have permission ...

The IRS Spares the Side ‐Hustlers (For Now)
Scott Lincicome and Ilana BlumsackAs our colleague Nick Anthonywrites, the IRS in late ‐Decemberpostponed a new rule requiring Americans to report to the IRS gross annual online sales (including taxes, fees, canceled orders, or even the nontaxable resale of goods at a loss) of as little as $600 – considerably lower than the current reporting threshold of $20,000 in payments and 200 transactions. As Nick notes, the new requirement (reported primarily on IRS Forms 1099‑K and now punted to next year) constitutes a major invasion of Americans’ financial privacy.As weexplain in a chapter of the new Cato book,E...

Baseball, Taxes, and Apple Pie
David BoazKen Rosenthal of The Athleticwrites:TheAngels were in the mix for free ‐agent right‐handerNathan Eovaldi, but faced two disadvantages. One was Eovaldi ’s desire to return to his native Texas; he is from Alvin, about a five ‐hour drive from theRangers ’ home in Arlington. The other was the difference in state income taxes. California ’s top rate is 13.3 percent. Texas has no state income tax.So let ’s see. If Eovaldi is making $17 million a year, as reported, then that California tax would cost him about $2,226,000. Look at it another way: First, the feds take 37 percent of income ...
