May 25, 2020 boss

The media have been full of reports about “Harry & Meghan’s million-dollar LA home.” The problem is, the property doesn’t belong to them, despite how the media frame their coverage. The couple needs a decade to pay back a bill of $3 million to Harry’s family. It’s safe to say that somewhere like Tyler Perry’s pad is a tad outside their budget. I’ve noticed a rather disturbing trend of late when it comes to media coverage of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. In fact, I kind of understand where the…

A message signed by 145 wallets containing Bitcoin (BTC) mined in its first years calls Craig Wright a “liar and a fraud.” The message was published on May 25 with a list of 145 addresses and their corresponding signatures.
