AI helped researchers find a hole in PHP, the code running most of the web. The details leaked, and Cloudflare saw exploit attempts hit the millions within a day.
Marty Bent and Thomas Pacchia are live to ask whether the cyber pandemic is finally here, what Amazon's AI spending says about the slowdown, and why a water heater that mines bitcoin might be the most decentralized miner yet.
On today's show:
š Last week, revisited: the OCC drops its yield presumption in the final GENIUS rule, and Anthropic's prospectus lands after its revenue slowdown
š”ļø PHP2Shell: AI found a decade-old flaw, it leaked early, and 2026 has already produced 21.7% of every CVE ever published
š„ Heatbit's Bitwater: a water heater element with 20 mining chips that screws into the tank you already have
š¤ Amazon's AI spending took it free cash flow negative, with GPUs sitting in warehouses waiting on power. Bitcoin miners lived this in 2021.
š SpaceX's AI revenue is real, Anthropic's $80.7B loss is mostly paper, and the real question is revenue quality
š Black Monday never showed up, but bond convexity and the diesel squeeze did
š Your API key is a bearer instrument: OpenCode, LiteLLM, Railway and a security checklist for the weekend
šŖŖ Someone opened a Cash App in her name and she's the one facing prison
š¼ Wall Street keeps building ways to own bitcoin without owning bitcoin: BlackRock's PBIT and MSCI's new rule
ā”ļø Tokens get cheaper, compute gets scarcer, and miners sit on the power

Bank of America admitted it willfully broke the Bank Secrecy Act for seven years, paid $1.2 billion and nobody is going to jail. The Samourai Wallet devs wrote software that never touched a dime of anyone's money and they're sitting in federal prison.
Marty Bent and Thomas Pacchia are live in New York to break down the two-tier justice system, the central bankers' bank admitting money runs on bailouts, and the rest of the week in bitcoin, AI and freedom tech.
On today's show:
āļø Bank of America's $1.2B fine vs. Samourai and Roman Storm: FinCEN told SDNY Samourai wasn't a money transmitter. They charged them anyway.
š¦ The OCC's debanking report: banks cut off bitcoin businesses and used SAR secrecy to explain nothing
š The BIS says money needs "backstops that socialise the inherent fragility." Translation: bailouts. They also admit bitcoin removes trust in an issuer.
š Ledger drain update: a confirmed hardware implant, $100M+ taken from 300+ wallets, and how to buy and verify a hardware wallet
š¤ If copying is free, what's left to own? AI clones of Word, Xbox embracing decompiles and a dead QuickBooks license
ā”ļø DOE puts PJM's backup generators on standby in October, and why miners are the best load on the grid
š Measured in gold, the average Brit is poorer than in 1975

India | Central Bank Pushes Digital Asset Prohibition
Indiaās central bank is again pursuing a digital asset policy āleaning toward prohibition,ā according to new government documents examined by Reuters. The Reserve Bank of India wants banks and regulated financial institutions barred from holding, trading, or offering exposure to digital assets and stablecoins. Officials also warn that offshore exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms are difficult to track. The documents estimate that India has nearly 39 million digital asset investors holding roughly $2.1 billion in digital assets. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Bangladesh | Central Bank Mandates State QR Payment System
Starting July 1, every merchant QR code in Bangladesh will be replaced by a government-backed standard. This comes after Bangladesh Bank announced that Bangla QR, its QR code system, will become mandatory. Banks and payments providers are required to update their existing merchant QR codes to Bangla QR by June 30 or face financial penalties. Officials claim the system will help create more digital transaction records, shrink the informal economy, improve tax collection, and strengthen anti-money laundering efforts. It also comes as part of the central bankās efforts to reduce reliance on more private payment methods, such as cash. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Cambodia Launches Smart Policing Initiative in Phnom Penh
Cambodiaās Ministry of Interior formally launched a China-backed āSmart Policeā initiative in the capital city of Phnom Penh. The new policing system will connect 487 cameras equipped with AI-powered identity and vehicle tracking and send all video feeds into a new centralized command center. To support the rollout, Chinese-backed regional security partners are providing financial and technical support for the project and have pledged to expand the camera grid in the future. Cambodian officials say the project will protect residents and tourists. But in a country where dissent is overtly and systematically punished, these new AI-powered systems can easily double as a surveillance machine capable of identifying anyone who criticizes the ruling party.
