National banks are not meant to buy stuff, such is my understanding. They create money for others to use. That's where QE ends. However national banks, of England (BoE), Switzerland etc are actually using money created out of thin air and buying up assets. I'm actually not bothered by it. However I do find one thing very interesting, which is not being talked about. The stock market as it is right now is being pushed up by the hands of the few not the many. A few private national banks. They are effectively controlling S&P 500. Am not making this up, the information is freely available. A snap shot of the Swiss national bank below.
Crypto-money falls on its own sword or creates value where others see it, demand it. That simple. It is quite another thing to create additional currency already used to purchase assets when ordinary people have to work for it to buy the same assets. I'd be burning down the house if someone was doing that to me.

National banks are investing money they created out of thin air. Think about that for a minute and tell me with a straight face there's no mega correction coming. They are transforming thin air into assets and no one is protesting it.

Is it ironic to be moaning about them creating money out of thin air when also investing in cryptos created out of thin air? Not sure, I'll ask Alanis Morissette.

There are many facets to this story and many different threads that contributed to this result so it depends how you tell it really.

I think that might be another fine - if they can prove that Trump knew about the specific blackmail attempt and Cohen did not just act on behalf of his client.
Find something that can stick, please.

RBS's downfall of 2008
Reading this is fascinating... gives you some insight as to the thinking behind the curtains. Many assumed previously RBS were caught out in a bad situation, but as more and more of these files become available it is clear they were instrument in causing the crisis. Why on earth would the UK bail out such a rotten apple? I've utterly no idea why these people are not in jail for this level of fraud.
