If you watched the Netflix documentary on the 2015 Ashley Madison hack (which I'm interviewed in), and you're wondering what happened to then-CEO Noel Biderman, I have an answer for you in @the_logic today

Two former Dragons, an activist hedge fund, a controversial executive and talk of a takeover. Is it any wonder there’s been drama?

In 2015, I had some of the most fun of my career covering the Ashley Madison hack. I'm a talking head in this new documentary about it. It's a fun watch! The first part is available now on Disney+ in Canada.

This Bloomberg story on whether big crypto companies are meeting basic business standards like having independent boards and getting audits (spoiler: many are not or won't say) is very good

Big news in Canadian crypto: Binance is exiting Canada.
Unfortunately, today we are announcing that Binance will be joining other prominent crypto businesses in proactively withdrawing from the Canadian marketplace. We would like to thank those regulators who worked with us collaboratively to address the needs of Canadian users.

Happy Monday, is still the only platform with a pre-registration undertaking on the CSA's website and the Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini sites all still say they're serving Canadians.
crypto.com
Over 140 million users buy, sell, and trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs and more on Crypto.com. Join the World's leading crypto trading platform.
OKX stopped serving Canadians this morning. It couldn't meet today's deadline for filing with securities regulators. Next up: Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini. Unless they file by today, all three will have to exit Canada, else they'll be operating here illegally.
