The President’s Council of Podcasters

Coinbase is accused of holding the crypto industry hostage over stablecoin rewards in the Clarity Act, while Medjedovic, a wanted crypto fugitive, reportedly seeks a presidential pardon. Two lobbyists, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, were paid a $300,000 retainer to pursue the pardon, according to a February Foreign Agents Registration filing. Arca executive Jeff Dorman wrote on Twitter that Coinbase is "still holding the whole industry hostage," and Delphi Digital co-founder Tommy Shaughnessy urged a compromise before Democrats potentially retake the House.
