I finished the book in record time. No details about the sharting dog, but it's still an incredible read. My take:
She's a sociopath; like clinically crazy sociopath. It's the only way she could do what she did, and the only way a person could keep all those lies going for over a decade. A flury of bodyguards (more than Rupert Murdock had.) Office visitors had to sign non-disclosures. She had former employees followed by private investigators.
Rich people going all Game of Thrones with weaponized money instead of weaponized dragons, and I liked this part the best. The Holmes family had a major throwdown with their rich friends, the Fuisz family over literally nothing about hurt feelings. They tried to bankrupt eachother with lawyers.
Tyler Schulz's story was the saddest. After Holmes found out he blew the whistle to the WSJ, she sent Silicon Valley's most assholish lawyer to his grandfather George Shultz's house to get him to convince Tyler to sign some kinda "cease and desist" order. Grandpa took Holmes side and berated Tyler for DAYS. To hs great credit, Tyler Schulz never folded. He and his grandfather have parted ways.

Could be worse - I remember a flight I took in the early 1980's, and we had boarded when they announce a delay due to mechanical issues. Truck drives up, couple of guys get out and look at the flaps; one of them takes out a hammer (like a 3lb hand held sledge) and hits the wing/flap/??? about 8-10 times. They look it over, the flaps are moved up & down, they pack up their shit and 20 minutes later we are on our way.
I have never been so excited to land in New Jersey in my entire life.And you're the only person to have said it.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/03/07/quadrigacx_crypto_wallets_empty/
Since Cotten's reported death, at the age of 30 while traveling in India, those left running the exchange have been keen to recover the CAN$184m (US$137m, £105m) in clients' crypto-cash thought to be residing in the aforementioned cold storage. In February, after receiving temporary protection from creditors from a Canadian court, QuadrigaCX said, despite weeks of toiling, it had been unable to recover "our very significant cryptocurrency reserves."
Those reserves now appear to be less significant than suggested. On Tuesday this week, Ernst & Young (EY), the financial powerhouse appointed by the courts to oversee QuadrigaCX's fate, published its third report revealing there's literally nothing to worry about – five of the six offline wallets in question were emptied in April 2018, about eight months before Cotten's death. And the sixth was emptied in December 2018.
The shifting narrative is now being challenged on multiple fronts, with skeptics claiming that the 30-year old CEO faked his death to evade paying customers. A recent report in The Times of India confirms that Cotten did die on Dec. 9 and his widow was granted a death certificate and police clearance to take his body back to Canada.
Without DNA confirmation, though, the report will do to little to douse the skepticism surrounding the saga. Cotten is thought to have methodically gone about his “death,” naming his wife the sole executor of his estate 12 days before passing, and bequeathing properties from a jointly operated company to his in-laws.

I am always surprised by how far down "rock bottom" really is. That country has circled the drain for 5 years now.

Interviewer guy: "Is not Universal basic Income though kind of Socialism by other means?"
Yang: "Um, it's very much not...It's Capitalism where income doesn't start at zero."
Mr. Yang thinks the US has some kinda "Technology Dividend" that we can treat like oil wealth. I disagree with that sentiment. He does though, echo a sentiment from higher up in this thread: Trade jobs are less susceptible to automation, and we'd be good to encourage young folks to pursue them.

No. It had Dick Butkus. Butkus woulda killed Borgnine.
