Theodore is 22 years old. He just got a $30 million investment via Lux Capital valuing his new "perpetual futures" exchange at $300 million.
Lux Capital is a venture capital firm based in New York City. It holds assets in AI, defense and biotech.

"For her part, Senator Gillibrand has been a key Democratic ally for the crypto industry, which itself is an advocate for perpetual [futures]. The New York senator was part of a group of lawmakers who first introduced the Genius Act, or legislation that regulates stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to real-world assets like the U.S. dollar. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law in July.
"Gillibrand’s son, Theodore, graduated from Stanford University on Sunday. He previously was a fellow at the venture capital firm Paradigm and an intern at Andreessen Horowitz".

Kazakhstan got infamy on the global stage thanks to Borat, and for a brief moment back in 2012 Uzi Uzi Becky Stan got to share the limelight thanks to GOP presidential aspirant and professional moron Herman Cain. Cain died of Covid after attending a 2020 Trump rally and the Uzbeks are in the #WorldCup with a match against #Columbia tonight. Who got the last laugh? #Uzbekistan #uspol

"Palestinian Activist Mohsen Mahdawi: Trump Admin “Weaponizing Immigration Laws” to Deport Me

Palestinian activist and green card holder Mohsen Mahdawi, who was targeted by the Trump administration last year as part of a crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus activism, faces a new deportation threat. A federal immigration judge has sided with the administration and renewed removal proceedings against him, reviving a case that had been dismissed by an earlier immigration judge. Now he is taking his case directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit, telling Democracy Now! that he is “technically without a backup plan” and relying on the federal courts for justice “because I believe that what the Trump administration has done is unconstitutional.”"
