Just read any recent SEC regulatory action. You'll get things like: * JPMorgan participated in an illicit scheme for a profit of 5M so they got a 200k fine * Citadel engaged in fraudulent mislabelings of orders for a total of 280.000 a

It depends on the day, but I like to put on some stoner rock/desert rock, or even post rock when I need to concentrate. For example Electric Moon - Inferno, or anything by My Sleeping Karma. Otherwise, classical music is cool. I also l

Ah yes, I remeber the "ricers" trends for cars and then for PCs, and then for gentoo. Good times. And then you got this that is the cost of a used car per meter. I hope no one falls for it.

From the best I can gather, the new CEO is trying to pivot GameStop from a brick-and-mortar company with online presence, to a tech company with a brick-and-mortar presence. Cryptographically proven digital ownership of content has been (ga
