New York's attorney general did a major settlement with him in 2021.

You can disagree about many things.
One thing we can't disagree about is that this piece of legislation is here and we're only five months in.

I know you got to get back to your day job.
and prioritization of this issue so thank you to all of them for making this happen congratulations to you david hey uh one uh tactical question i forgot to ask you the float on these this is like how tether is making billions of dollars a year and this is how people anticipate they're going to make billions of dollars a year

So did that make it into the final?
And maybe you can give us some background on that.
