Is @CreditSuisse safe?

1/12 Credit Suisse's #CDS premiums have soared to higher levels than during the 2008 financial crisis, fueling speculation of a crisis. Image
2/12 A credit default swap(CDS) premium is the rate at which an insurance policy guarantees the principal in the event of a default,
3/12 and a higher #CDS premium means that the risk of default is higher, and therefore the policy requires a higher fee. #CreditSuisse blames three events in 2021 for the rise in CDS premiums. First, around March 2021, Bill Huang's Archegos Capital collapse. Image

Hi folks. If you’ve read The Pyramid of Lies about the Greensill scandal, then you’ll know about Lex Greensill’s plans to “rewild” a vast tract of land near his home in the northwest of England. Thread:
Well, it seems that despite Greensill’s collapse and ongoing investigations in multiple jurisdictions, the rewilding plans are still in play and occupying Lex’s time. Here is what is happening.
Back in 2019, years before Greensill imploded in spectacular fashion, the parish council in Saughall and Shotwick Park held consultation meetings and essentially backed Lex’s plan to buy a large piece of land there for rewilding.

Corrupt Government contracts which favoured insiders, also known as VIP Lane contracts, have still not been investigated says @premnsikka - we need transparency

#CollusiveCorruption
When companies greenwash, gaslight, and pretend to have respect gender, human rights, and other characteristics, how can they actually be held to account?

While lockdown has been slow for some, it's certainly not been for others who have smelt the winds of change!

#SPACs are bypassing Direct Listings & IPO's in a race to market - Sucking up all that 💰 hunting for returns 📈

#Fintech joining 'Democratise & Digitalise everything'
#China seem poised to become the worlds leading power - #US are on guard! 🧐

Little bit like their former communist friends (Russia) the leadership are getting their Oligarchs/Titans in-line & on-message before their potential big push.

Everything seems to be changing around us

It cannot be right that a Prime Minister can grant high levels of access to a business seeking government support, and then potentially offer him over £20million in shares when he leaves office and presses his friends and colleagues to help the business. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

#Newsnight digs up a clip of @David_Cameron (then PM) saying that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen".

Oops.

#Greensill
@David_Cameron .@campbellclaret on #Newsnight, saying that Johnson and his ministers regularly break all 7 of the #NolanPrinciples - and he finds it "scary" that no one seems, with this government, to care very much about those breaches of public standards, or to view them as scandals.
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret Prof Elizabeth David-Barrett says on #Newsnight that the matters around Cameron/Arcuri are not so much about rule-breaking as "declining [public] standards".

And she gives examples, including those around (lack of) transparency.
