New from me: a deep dive on why the media—and the New York Times in particular—were so slow to investigate the Wuhan lab linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Alex Mashinsky has finally given his side of the story on the collapse of Celsius, the crypto exchange that held $40 billion at its peak … and he is blaming SBF and FTX. In a response to the NY lawsuit on securities law violations, @Mashinsky says: “The complaint...parrots misinformation online about Mashinsky and Celsius and borrows others’ baseless conclusions, demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of Celsius...and Mashinsky’s role."
