Russian Central Bank Sues Euroclear As EU Tries To Ram Through Assets Seizure

In what could prove a well-timed preemptive attack and shot across the bow, Russia’s Central Bank (CBR) announced Friday it has initiated legal action against Euroclear, one of Europe’s largest securities depositories, which is holding 185 billion euros ($217 billion) of Russia’s frozen sovereign assets.

The CBR has filed a lawsuit against the Belgium-based bank in the Moscow Arbitration Court over “illegal actions” – just as European Union leadership is making a move to approve a plan to fund the Ukrainian government for the next years by using income from the Russian assets immobilized under EU sanctions.

“Euroclear’s actions caused harm to the Bank of Russia by preventing it from managing the funds and securities that belong to it,” the Russian Central Bank said in the statement. The lawsuit seeks compensation for losses as a result of Euroclear indefinitely blocking access to the funds.

Fed meeting recap: Fed’s starts stealth easing, Powell rules out hike and markets rally

The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday a quarter percentage point, or 25 basis point, cut to its overnight lending rate, bringing the targeted range to between 3.5% and 3.75%.

However, the third interest rate cut of the year was far from an easy decision, with some members favoring cuts to head off further weakness in the labor market and others thinking the easing has gone far enough and threatens to aggravate inflation.

The increasingly divided Federal Open Market Committee made its call with a 9-3 vote. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid both voted for no decrease, while Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran called for a half-point cut.

The Astounding Scale Of Gold & Silver’s Approaching Repricing From Asset Reallocation

Western bullion banks have repeatedly been calling the top for silver’s price over the past 5 years as it has hit $28, $38, and $48 /oz. With silver recent rise to $58 /oz., they are at it again calling the top. However, each time to date, these bullion banks have been wrong.

Swiss bank outlier UBS recently announced that they estimate the silver supply deficit for 2026 has climbed to 300 million (M) oz. in a 1.34 billion (B) oz. annual market.

Climbing supply deficits don’t comport well with prices rolling-over, so what’s up with the top-calling by bullion banks?

$208 million wiped out: Yieldstreet investors rack up more losses as firm rebrands to Willow Wealth

As Yieldstreet tries to distance itself from a rocky past with a new name and ad campaign, its customers are dealing with a present reality that is increasingly dire.

The private markets investing startup, freshly rebranded as Willow Wealth, last week informed customers of new defaults on real estate projects in Houston and Nashville, Tennessee, CNBC has learned.

The letters, obtained and verified by CNBC, account for about $41 million in new losses. They come on the heels of $89 million in marine loan wipeouts disclosed in September and $78 million in losses revealed by CNBC in an August report.

Denver Fail

@mrosazza

Jena Griswold is going down Colorado.   Sources claim Pam Bondi is going to indict Jena Griswold under 18 USC §1519—a federal law against destroying or hiding records to interfere with any U.S. government probe or process.  Tina Peters will be taken into Federal custody with full whist-blower protection. 

Griswold’s Team wiped the digital evidence clean. Second, they swapped out the hardware to make sure no one could dig into it. And third, they pinned it all on Tina Peters, turning her into the scapegoat. They destroyed the proof, replace the props, and jail the whistleblower.

Griswold’s office ordered the “Trusted Build” update in May 2021, right after Peters raised red flags about 2020 glitches (like unexplained vote surges in her county). It reset Dominion machines statewide, erasing logs, security files, and audit trails that could prove fraud or errors.  Tina Peters’ pre-wipe backup shows what got deleted:  vote adjudication records and firmware histories.

Penalty:  Up to 20 years in prison, plus fines.   This will happen fast, as the statutes of limitations are up in May 2026.   It’s about to go down Colorado!    The question is; who is Jena going to take down with her?   #copolitics #freetinapeters #colorado #elections  # tinapeters #jenagriswold

“No one is talking about this; the carry trade which virtually funded the entire financial bubble was built on the Japanese Yen and their 0% interest rate policy. 0% is no longer as rates are exploding higher. Running a very close 2nd to silver in blowing up the derivatives complex…!”

Prosecutor Used Flawed A.I. to Keep a Man in Jail, His Lawyers Say

When Kyle Kjoller, a 57-year-old welder, was ordered held without bail in Nevada County, Calif., in April, he protested. The charges against him — multiple counts of illegal gun possession — were not grave enough under California law to warrant keeping him in jail for months awaiting his trial, he argued.

Prosecutors disagreed, and offered 11 pages’ worth of reasons. But the brief they filed, Mr. Kjoller’s lawyers contend, was rife with errors that bear the hallmarks of generative artificial intelligence.

The lawyers soon turned up briefs in four separate cases, including Mr. Kjoller’s, that were filled with mistakes, all of them from the office of the same prosecutor, District Attorney Jesse Wilson. The mistakes included wholesale misinterpretations of the law, as well as quotations that do not actually appear in the cited texts.

🚨@Porsche

just bricked thousands of Russian-registered & internet-connected vehicles overnight. Engines dead. Electronics locked out. No warning.

Speculation is that the German automaker acted on EU orders. Porsche isn’t denying it.

Canadians should pay attention.

In 2022, the Trudeau government illegally froze bank accounts of political opponents with no due process.

Do you really think the Mark Carney government won’t disable your internet-connected car because you said something “offensive” under their new censorship laws?

Fair warning.
