The man who co founded the world’s largest stablecoin was arrested by Interpol in a Spanish villa with guns, machetes and child pornography His name is Brock Pierce If you’ve ever held USDT, the $140 BILLION stablecoin that settles more daily volume than Visa in some months you’ve used a product he co founded Brock Pierce was a Disney child actor. He starred in The Mighty Ducks, D2, and First Kid At 16 he met a 40 year old businessman named Marc Collins Rector Collins Rector was building Digital Entertainment Network. A pre YouTube streaming platform funded by David Geffen, Microsoft, and Dell They raised $60 MILLION and were planning a $75 MILLION IPO At 17 Pierce was VP at a base salary of $250,000 Pierce, Collins Rector, and Collins Rector’s boyfriend lived together in a 12,600 square foot mansion in Encino The mansion hosted parties attended by Hollywood’s A list: Bryan Singer, David Geffen and Gary Goddard DEN’s flagship show “Chad’s World” was co-written by Collins Rector, produced by Pierce, and targeted “gay and questioning teen boys” In October 1999 a young man filed a lawsuit alleging Collins Rector had sexually molested him for three years starting at age 13 The IPO collapsed In July 2000 three more former DEN employees filed a sexual abuse lawsuit naming Pierce, Collins-Rector, and Shackley together alleging rape, assault, drugging of minors and death threats Collins Rector was indicted for transporting minors across state lines for sex All three men fled to Spain Interpol arrested them in Marbella in 2002. Guns, machetes, and child pornography were found in the house Pierce was released without criminal charges. Collins Rector pleaded guilty to eight counts of child enticement and registered as a sex offender The civil lawsuits against Pierce were “dismissed and/or settled out of court.” He settled with at least one plaintiff for $21,600. He has consistently denied all allegations In 2014 Pierce co-founded Tether originally called Realcoin Tether became the largest stablecoin in crypto. By 2019 USDT was processing higher daily volume than Bitcoin itself Tether has never been audited by a Big Four firm. Their first audit attempt with Friedman LLP was abruptly disbanded in 2018 with no explanation In 2021 Tether settled with the New York Attorney General for $18.5 MILLION over misrepresenting their reserves The connections kept growing Pierce founded Blockchain Capital. In that role he helped Jeffrey Epstein become an early investor in Coinbase He spoke at Epstein’s “Mindshift” conference in 2011 - three years AFTER Epstein had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor In February 2026 the US Department of Justice released emails from Epstein’s files. One email from Pierce to Epstein read: “a boat in Antigua full of amazing Ukraine’s finest” was waiting for him The system runs on USDT. USDT was built by Brock Pierce. And Brock Pierce has answered the same questions about the same allegations for a quarter century

The “Success Narrative” being publicly pitched smells worse than the sewage they are treating. A handful of well-connected engineering giants and contractors (Black & Veatch, Parsons, Shimmick, Trussell) pocketed hundreds of millions in prime and management contracts while the already overtaxed public ratepayers foot the bill for repeated overruns and delays. A Black & Veatch executive slipped a donation to Mayor Gloria’s reelection committee right as votes lock in the project—perfectly legal, of course, but the pattern is as old as public works itself. Environmental NGOs get their ocean-discharge permit carve-out in exchange for public cheerleading, turning potential opposition into a green-washed endorsement. Meanwhile, the public is fed press releases about “proven technology” while vendor dollar amounts stay conveniently buried in subcontractor black boxes and long-term safety data is deferred until the checks have cleared. Although noone in the Mayors’ office or City Council ends up with suitcases of cash…This is a prime example of the sophisticated, legalized corruption of modern infrastructure. Influence via campaign committees, revolving-door expertise, and “cooperative agreements” that conveniently align corporate profit with political legacies. The real “product” isn’t purified water to use on freeway irrigation , it’s guaranteed future rate hikes and political capital for the insiders who made it happen. Classic San Diego grift, always dressed up in “green” sustainability branding and “affordability”. Stay on their necks, bro.

Soooo what happens to the Pure Water system when they have to make future budget cuts? Do they turn the poop filters off a few days a week? It may sound ridiculous but everyone should start asking hard questions about the “drinking water” because we actually do need it to survive.
Adam Huntington for Congress CA50@Adventuring_RE

Follow up on the main "Pure Water" project up the freeway and it is equally bad. Nowhere near completion "by 2026" which is years behind schedule and $300M over budget at last count. A 🧵

I hope they're not learning anything from you? Maybe you could teach them how to blow $1.55 million on mustangs for parking attendants. Maybe you can teach them how to spend $30 million on a rainbow colored Street in the middle of $250 million deficit. Or maybe you can tell them how to completely ignore the people that they are supposed to be serving in regards to the local spaces they have been allowed to frequent freely in the past. Or how to write deceptive legislation to trick people into paying for trash services that they were already paying for. Or how to waste even more money destroying the trash cans that were perfectly fine only to replace them with ones that are exactly the same.

The long run meaning of Trump is to delegitimize the system. He was never going to save us. But he has made the ruling class ridiculous. He used social media to show we are ruled by fools. Whatever comes next - this was a necessary revelation.

@realestatedude0 Or They will just fake “growth” on their sheets with franchisee cash for 3 years to flip it for 3-5x up the PE chain like every other SYSCO-filled slopmarket. Judging from the Angeleno comments this brand is already in zombiemode.

From: Iran is begging for negotiations so I'm sending Jared and Witkoff to: We're not sending anyone because we have all the cards. All within 24 hours. Iran kept saying they won't negotiate with Jared Kushner (who they correctly see as an agent of Israel) or with Witkoff (who they think is dumb). They want someone on Vance's level. And they kept saying they won't negotiate under a US blockade. But a huge group of people believe anything Trump says, even if he says the exact opposite the day before or they after. Hence: Iran is on its knees begging for a deal and will give us everything we want: as we've been hearing for two months now.
Aishah Hasnie@aishahhasnie

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told me over the phone he has unilaterally cancelled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranians. "I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'."

Ft Bragg soldier indicted for insider trading on the Maduro raid was definitely JSOC. Profile suggests a support soldier but he could be an operator from an obscure SMU like The Activity. Either way, Fort Bragg continues to be the center of crime and profiteering in the military.
