There's an assumption that cryptocurrency is particularly useful to bad actors and terror organizations... but how true are these assumptions?

Jordan Fried was fully living the entrepreneur life in Puerto Rico... until the attack in Israel happened on 10/7. Then, Jordan found himself chartering, and then boarding, a plane to deliver aid to Israel.

But as Jordan will tell you, you don’t need a million dollars to make a difference. Jordan walks through the strategy he ...

Nicole and Lizzy talk about what that experience felt like, which television shows do a good job of representing the Jewish experience and which ones ...

Dr. Small illuminates the money trail of funds to American universities from Qatar— a country known...
