Roblox’s CEO David Baszucki was on CNBC today calling the platform a "a beacon for safety and civility".

We found over 50 Roblox group chat walls that are active right now, with no age restrictions, where users are soliciting child sexual exploitation content or sexual favors with children (many using thinly-coded language).

The list is not exhaustive. It took us only about an hour and a half to find these and there are many more. Roblox was made aware of these issues years ago and has done nothing substantive to address them.

Here are the first 10 (the max allowed by 'X'):

SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Buch’s response to our report includes several important admissions and raises numerous new critical questions.

(1/x) Buch’s response now publicly confirms her investment in an obscure Bermuda/Mauritius fund structure, alongside money allegedly siphoned by Vinod Adani. She also confirmed the fund was run by a childhood friend of her husband, who at the time was an Adani director.

SEBI was tasked with investigating investment funds relating to the Adani matter, which would include funds Ms. Buch WAS PERSONALLY INVESTED IN and funds by the same sponsor which were specifically highlighted in our original report.
This is obviously a massive conflict of interest.
