Description
How is Hamas funded? TRM Labs Head of Global Policy and former federal prosecutor Ari Redbord discusses how his company tracks Hamas fundraising on the blockchain, and how Israeli and US law enforcement are tracing terror financing on crypto networks. Plus, Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan, a University of Pennsylvania alumni and Chairman of its Wharton School board, is urging fellow alumni to halt donations to the university. Rowan calls the university’s response to the Israel-Hamas War, in conjunction with the school’s controversial bookings at its Palestinian literary festival last month, ‘morally confused and bankrupt.’ He’s pushing back on what he says is the university’s failure to condemn antisemitism, and he is not alone in critiquing universities and corporations for their leadership on Hamas’s attack on Israel. Other business headlines of the day include CPI data, post-IPO Birkenstock, and the drama at the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried.
