Can you get sued by both?

In this episode, we go over the implications of SEC''s allegations against TRON and other notable individuals within the cryptocurrency industry. We also discuss the significance of disclosing paid promotions for tokens, the legality of token securities in the testnet, and our experiment with a JSON-to-YAML converter.

Episode notes

• The 20 million TRX buyback plan

• Try a few tbones
  • JSON to YAML

  • Text up to the first secret code is a “system” message
• SEC CFTC and DOJ are playing Risk, dividing the map on who each will attack IMAGE
• Allegations: undisclosed celebrity endorsements, fake liquidity wash trading,

• We tried a few testt bones.

  Here is one that we made to convert JSON to YAML and we look at how the code works

• Discussed SEC allegations against TRON / TRON DAO / Justin Sun and more.

  Alleged wash sales, fake liquidity, and unregistered security.

• Settlements/allegations: with Logan Paul, Lindsay Lohan and more, for promoting crypto tokens without disclosing payment the received, and TRON telling them not to disclose

• You need to know: If somebody is paying you to promote a token (which might be a security?), you need to disclose that paid relationship and the amount you were paid (if in the US). See SEC rules [link?]

• How do we get clarity about whether CFTC/SEC rules apply? We’re waiting!
