"A French bulldog with “personality and beauty”, owing to his “razzle-dazzle”, is the winner of the National Dog Show, which aired on Thursday following the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.
Winston, who was aptly described by a cheerleader on social media as a “perfect ball of marzipan”, is now the highest-ranked all-breed dog in the country, with this latest win delivering him his 78th best in show title.
The show marked its 21st year this Thanksgiving and featured more than 1,500 contestants from 200 breeds, according to People.
“He
is a show dog with personality and beauty and a perfect fit for the
breed,” Vicki Seiler-Cushman, the 2022 National Dog Show’s “best in
show” judge, said in a statement to People.
“He has a
razzle-dazzle that says, ‘I am here to win tonight,’” Seiler-Cushman
added. “You can just tell that he can also go home and be the perfect
pet.”
A
bouncy, crowd-pleasing French Bulldog, Winston, was declared Best In
Show at Philadelphia’s prestigious National Dog Show Presented by
Purina, Thanksgiving Day. Winston has 78 Best In Shows in his career.

The NFL player Morgan Fox, who partly owns
the group that handles Winston, celebrated his win. “I get excited
every time, and so does Winston,” he said, adding that exposure from a
show like this, with an estimated 20 million viewers, makes it very
special.
“We’ve had a lot of support, and that’s what happens with a dog of this quality,” he added."

SEC Sued By Crypto-Focused Law Firm, Nouriel Roubini Tweets Sarcastic Comment

also known as "Dr. Doom" for his accurate prediction of the mortgage

taken to Twitter to extend his disgust at the cryptocurrency space.

Economist Nouriel Roubini,
also known as "Dr. Doom" for his accurate prediction of the mortgage
market crisis of 2008-2009, who is also a vocal hater of crypto, has
taken to Twitter to extend his disgust at the cryptocurrency space.
He has shared a link to an article on LinkedIn
about crypto-focused firm Hodl Law PLLC that has sued the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that this is based on
"totally bogus arguments." Among them, according to Roubini, is an
accusation against the SEC about the recent collapse of FTX.
As a reminder, the SEC has been involved in a lawsuit against Ripple
Labs and XRP, claiming the latter to be an unregistered security and
suing Ripple's top executives for selling it to investors.
"Crypto crooks now blame SEC"
In his scornful comment, Roubini referred to a LinkedIn post by John
Reed Stark, president of John Reed Stark Consulting and former chief of
the SEC Office of Internet Enforcement.
Stark, as a lawyer and former high-ranking SEC executive, has slammed
the legal complaint against the securities regulator, calling it
"perhaps one of the most ridiculous legal documents" he has ever read
that were related to the crypto space.
Basically, the crypto law firm accuses the SEC of three things: lack
of regulatory clarity provided to the crypto space, violating the rights
of legally approved crypto-financiers and "failing to provide 'fair
notice' of its anti-crypto posture." Besides, the SEC exceeds its
authority by practicing "regulation by enforcement" and stifling
innovation in the sphere of digital currencies and blockchain.
The complaint, in particular, states that the SEC has no jurisdiction
over digital assets from the U.S. Congress and that the SEC's entire
strategy has been "to be deliberately 'confusing' in order to maintain
maximum flexibility to prosecute at will (and without fair notice)." The
complaint also looks into the SEC's attempt to classify the digital
assets of companies attacked by it as securities, while it long ago
labeled Ethereum's ETH as a nonsecurity.
Defendant has refused to provide public guidance on its subjective
belief regarding the classification status of the Ethereum Network and
Ether DCU despite thousands of requests from the American public.
Roubini and Calvin Ayre tweet sarcastic comments
Nouriel Roubini, a well-known critic of cryptocurrencies, stated in
his tweet that the plaintiff is blaming the "FTX debacle and coming
crypto extinction" on the securities regulator.
John Reed Stark on LinkedIn: Crypto-focused law firm Hodl Law PLLC has sued the U.S. Securities ..
based on totally bogus arguments. Crypto crooks now blame SEC for FTX
debacle and coming crypto extinction. What a pile of crypto manure
pseudo-arguments! https://t.co/bFRJik8NJ7
For him, the arguments mentioned in the complaint are
"pseudo-arguments." Billionaire and supporter of Bitcoin SV chain (as
well as of self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto Craig Wright) Calvin
Ayre tweeted to agree with Roubini. He wrote that this legal suit is
likely to harm the entire crypto space as it "underlines how moronic
most everything in crypto is." Besides, he called the name of Hodl Law
PLLC a "ponzi trick to retail consumers in crypto."

Turkish-American economist Nouriel Roubini talked about the seven
C's of the crypto realm. According to Roubini, the seven C's stand for:
concealed, corrupt, crooks, criminals, con-men, carnival barkers, CZ.

Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week, Roubini questioned why
Binance was allowed to operate in the United Arab Emirates.. He also
mentioned that the implosion and eventual collapse of FTX has shown the
world that crypto needs to aware of the bad actors. He included CZ in
the category of 'bad actors'.
"Unfortunately this is an ecosystem
that is totally corrupt. Unfortunately it is and I think the lesson of
the last few weeks is that these people should be out of here," said
Nouriel Robini.
Roubini compared the Binance CEO to a "walking
time bomb". Kevin O'Leary was also on the radar of Roubini. "Kevin O'
Leary is a paid hack of FTX," added Roubini. O'Leary was an early
investor of FTX.
CZ has recently responded back to the comments of
Roubini. "We don't care. There are people who try to become famous by
attacking other people. People with negative energy in their life
generally don't go far in life," responded CZ at the Milken Institute
Middle East and Africa Summit.
Binance CEO did not hold back as he
went on to say it was very impolite of Roubini to say that CZ shouldn't
be here. "When you are a guest of the country, you do not decide who
the country should kick out or not kick out. He should not attack
industry players with pure false information," added CZ.
He
mentioned Binance has 15 licenses all over the world, being the most
licenses crypto exchange in the world. He also stated that Binance has
44 state licenses in the US.
"ADGM is one of the most solid
regulators in the world. ADGM established crypto regulation very early. I
think 2018 or 2019. All these things are contrary to completely
irrational attacks that he is making. We do not think it is important,"
added CZ.
For the U.S. semiconductor industry, forgoing
the China market would mean lower economies of scale and R&D
spending - and a less central role in the full web of global technology
supply chains, according to report by U.S. Chamber of Commerce. ■

Mesa settles lawsuit in deadly shooting case
The widow of an unarmed Texas man fatally shot by police outside his suburban Phoenix hotel room in 2016 has agreed to settle her wrongful death lawsuit.
A
notice of settlement filed Tuesday in federal court in Arizona shows
that Laney Sweet, the wife of Daniel Shaver, and her two children will
receive $8 million from the city of Mesa.
A probate court has approved the settlement’s terms and appointed a temporary conservator.

In exchange, all of Sweet's legal claims will be dismissed with prejudice.
In
a statement released by her attorneys, Sweet acknowledged the
settlement will help her family financially. But "no amount of money can
undo the transgressions that cruelly removed Daniel from his family's
lives forever."
"This settlement does nothing to cure the blatant
lack of accountability by all involved since the night of Daniel’s
death, which stands as an irredeemable blight on the criminal justice
system," Sweet said.

Spokeswomen for the city of Mesa and the Mesa Police Department declined to comment Wednesday.
Sweet
first filed a lawsuit in 2017 against both parties seeking $75 million
in damages. She contended Shaver had not provoked the killing, and it
could have been avoided if officers had investigated more.
The city settled with Shaver's parents in a similar lawsuit last year for an undisclosed amount.
RAW VIDEO: Body camera video shows minutes leading up to deadly shooting of Daniel Shaver
Officer
Philip Brailsford was fired by Mesa police and now goes on trial in the
death of Daniel Shaver. (file video from Oct. 25, 2017)
In January 2016, Mesa police officers went to the hotel after getting a call that someone there was pointing a gun out a window.
They
ordered Shaver, 26, from Granbury, Texas, to exit his hotel room, lie
face-down in a hallway and refrain from making sudden movements — or he
risked being shot.
Then-Officer Philip Brailsford shot Shaver as
the man lay on the ground outside his hotel room and was ordered to
crawl toward officers.
Brailsford was charged with murder in Shaver’s death, but a jury acquitted him of the charge.

Although no gun was found on Shaver’s body, two pellet rifles related to his pest-control job were later found in his room.
The
detective investigating the shooting had agreed Shaver’s movement was
similar to reaching for a pistol, but has said it also looked as though
Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had
fallen down as he was ordered to crawl toward officers.
Mesa initially fired Brailsford, but he was later rehired to apply for a pension and then took medical retirement.

Brailsford has been found not guilty of second degree murder and
reckless manslaughter, in the trial of a hotel guest's shooting death.

The U.S. Department of Justice
opened a civil rights violation investigation against Brailsford. In
March 2018, the Mesa Police Department revealed the DOJ had subpoenaed
the department for all documents about the shooting.
The investigation is still ongoing, according to Sweet and her attorneys who called for the DOJ to "swiftly proceed."
