Trump’s Venezuela Oil Gambit: Exxon Excluded, Chaos Included 🛢️💥

Venezuela, which somehow claims to hold the world’s largest oil reserves (a cosmic joke if ever there was one), has seen its energy sector devolve into a post-apocalyptic wasteland of mismanagement, sanctions, and political chaos.

Blockchain’s ‘White Knight’ or Just Fancy Code? 😏💸

The Financial Action Task Force, that ever-watchful sentinel of financial morality, recently released a missive praising T3 FCU’s “real-time” crime-fighting prowess. One imagines suited bureaucrats cheering as digital handcuffs clinked over $300 million in crypto. How thrilling. 🎉
