Let us watch what happens to the Trump, he who shall be very busy during his post 20th January sojourn.

I hope he is allowed to get back on twitter; need the energy input into the system encompassing all voices, just in case he knows and are willing to share some deep-state secrets that he should be privy to.

He can write a heck of a best-selling book.

In the meantime let's also watch G7 economies snarf up NTC, that which is produced in China, Iran, Russia, and N Korea, and its governance at largess / dispensation of the CCP. Cannot make this stuff up

CoinShares Is Starting an Exchange-Traded Bitcoin Product

CoinShares, a St. Helier, Jersey-based asset manager, is launching an exchange-traded Bitcoin product amid a fierce rally for the world’s largest digital currency.

The CoinShares Physical Bitcoin product will go live on Jan. 19 and be listed under the ticker BITC on the SIX Swiss Exchange. It will charge a 0.98% expense ratio. Komainu, a venture developed by Ledger, Nomura Holdings Inc. and CoinShares, will serve as custodian.

“A lot of institutional clients have a very strong due-diligence process, and we wanted to bring to market a best-in-class product to embrace that demand,” said Frank Spiteri, chief revenue officer at CoinShares. “We are ready, as of January, to embrace the forthcoming demand from institutional clients.”

CoinShares, which has about $4 billion in assets under management, was among the first to debut a crypto product. It launched a regulated Bitcoin investment vehicle in 2015, when the coin traded around $400.

BITC will be physically backed, meaning it will hold the underlying assets it is designed to track. Each unit of the product will be backed with 0.001 Bitcoin.

The launch is happening in the midst of a red-hot rally for the world’s largest cryptocurrency as a greater number of Wall Street firms take interest in it. Bitcoin gained 300% in 2020 and recently set a record high of more than $41,000.

Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.

"So if I understand you correctly," Ortiz said, "you're telling me that an unauthorized, non-employee individual was allegedly living within a secure part of the O'Hare airport terminal from October 19, 2020, to January 16, 2021, and was not detected? I want to understand you correctly."

Man 'lived undetected in Chicago airport for three months'

Maureen O'Hare, CNN • Published 19th January 2021

(CNN) — A Californian man who was "scared to go home because of Covid" lived undetected in Chicago's O'Hare Airport for three months, according to multiple reports.

Aditya Udai Singh, 33, was arrested on Saturday morning local time at O'Hare and charged with impersonation in a restricted area of the airport and theft of less than $500, the Chicago Police Department confirmed to CNN.

Singh appeared in bond court the following day where, according to the Chicago Tribune, prosecutors said that Singh had arrived at O'Hare on a flight from Los Angeles on October 19. He is then alleged to have lived undiscovered in the airport's security zone until his January 16 arrest.
Singh is reported to have been apprehended after being approached by two United Airlines employees who asked to see his identification. He's said to have then shown them an airport ID badge that belonged to an operations manager who had reported it missing in late October.

Assistant State's Attorney Kathleen Hagerty said in court that Singh claimed to have been "scared to go home due to Covid" and that other passengers had provided him with food, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Cook County Judge Susana Ortiz expressed surprise at the unusual circumstances of the case, the newspaper reported.

"So if I understand you correctly," Ortiz said, "you're telling me that an unauthorized, non-employee individual was allegedly living within a secure part of the O'Hare airport terminal from October 19, 2020, to January 16, 2021, and was not detected? I want to understand you correctly."

Assistant Public Defender Courtney Smallwood told the court that Singh is a resident of the Los Angeles suburb of Orange and does not have a criminal background, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Singh's bail is said to have been set at $1,000, with the condition that he does not re-enter O'Hare Airport, and he is due back in court on January 27.

O'Hare Airport is the busiest airport in the world for takeoffs and landings, with pre-pandemic passenger numbers of 84.6 million per year.
CNN has contacted Cook County State Attorney's Office and Chicago Department of Aviation for comment.
