Happy Monday Folks! According to Robert Kiyosaki, famously known as the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author, buying Bitcoin now will make you smile later. There appears to be something big brewing with the emergency Fed meeting today and news is brewing about a Lehman 2.0 event; Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse appears to be in trouble. Meanwhile, Alex Mashinsky withdrew $10MM to pay taxes it appears and a hacker has returned 70% of the 21MM tokens from the Transit Swap Dex. 

Other news gaining traction is Kim Kardashian being charged by the SEC, COINBASE funds are okay after outage, and DOJ is blocking Celsius motion to reopen withdrawls. I think this will be a crazy news day so buckle up and once again - welcome to Uptober?!
