- Bridge, Lead Leverage Earthquake Sanctions Relief to Operate in Venezuela
Hey all, Jason here. Today’s newsletter ended up quite a bit longer than I had originally intended, so there is no paid subscriber exclusive section this week. Had I had time and space, it would’ve included analysis of the latest developments in U.S. bank chartering and some updates on the “Revolut hacker” situation, as the group is now releasing sensitive Italian government files they claim were exfiltrated during the same email compromise scheme. I’m still keeping tabs on that story, as I expect it’s not the last we’ve heard on it. Subscribe or Support by Upgrading Build Products That Move…

- Regulators Move To Rescind Post-Synapse Risk Guidance, Lay Groundwork For Fintech Standards
Hey all, Jason here. I won’t lie, I had a bit of FOMO last week, seeing posts from folks in New York to attend Finovate — both because of the event, but maybe more so missing a good excuse to travel to NYC. I actually lived in New York twice, in Brooklyn both times. During my second stint, I lived in downtown Brooklyn, a short commute from Goldman’s headquarters across the street from 1 WTC. The post-9/11 reconstruction of that area was still ongoing during my time at Goldman, and I remember when the visually stunning Oculus finally opened. Subscribe or Support by Upgrading Five neobank…
