Apple is a designer and manufacturer of electronic devices and related software and services. Apple Card, created by Apple, is the only card issued by Goldman Sachs.
Honestly, communicating with Mr. Dhanani (Apple Senior Machine Learning Engineer:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdhanani/) has been enjoyable. He is very open and honest, specific to his role with MIA Coin and NYCCoin (email thread below). Mr. Dhanani seems bright and one can only wish him the very best. That being said, what role (if any) does the Apple Card have to do with interlocking directorates and the future of blockchain software technology? Apple was the #1 Harvard Management Company holding as of September 30, 2021: https://whalewisdom.com/filer/harvard-management-co-inc#tabholdings_tab_link Harvard Management Company also holds large positions in Facebook (Meta) and Affirm, sharing common Board Directors at Kiva.org: https://www.kiva.org/about/leadership Since 2014, John D. Muller, Associate General Counsel, Facebook has served on Kiva.org's Board of Directors. John Muller is Head of Legal for Novi Financial, Inc., a subsidiary of Facebook. Novi is building mobile wallet and exchange services for the new Libra blockchain, with an emphasis on making it faster, cheaper, and easier for people to move money safely around the world. Previously, Muller was General Counsel (2000-2013) and Vice President of Payments Policy (2013-2017) for PayPal. He helped PayPal through its regulatory licensing, acquisition by eBay, launch of merchant services and international expansion. PayPal, Facebook and Kiva.org interlocking directorates lead to the Apple Card and Goldman Sachs' Board of Directors ... Specifically to Audit Chair, Mr. Oppenheimer, formerly Apple's CFO: https://www.goldmansachs.com/about-us/people-and-leadership/leadership/board-of-directors/peter-oppenheimer.html What would Steve Jobs say about protecting blockchain software technology from manipulation? Probably something memorable. New York holds such an awesome future. The horizon is bright. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xny.io/> | Bank.org <http://bank.org/>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Search&utm_campaign=MSc-Digital-Currency-North-America&utm_term=blockchain%20unic&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyJOBBhDCARIsAJG2h5ctwwMz0MRbVSk-LaYD-GMU5UgDSw7ynxbGr_a7SkaFAZzJc1-pzxEaAi4NEALw_wcB> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovation-mba-1-5-years-or-3-semesters/> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) [email protected] +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 1:35 PM Subject: Re: Mining.NYC To: Jamil Dhanani <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Jamil: 1. Serotonin.co seems to be running PR for Mining.NYC. Ms. Cassatt is the former CMO of Consensys. Jamil, can you please go back to your team and check to see if there is a relationship with Consensys? 2. Who is the custodial wallet? We were told a firm out of Nebraska? Can you get back to us on this? As you can imagine, it is very important and should be common knowledge. 3. With the Stacks.co and OKCoin.com's relationship with China and/or Hong Kong, how are you and Mining.NYC approaching China's new cross- border Data Security rules <https://www.orrick.com/en/Insights/2021/09/Chinas-New-Data-Security-Law-What-International-Companies-Need-to-Know>? Is CityCoins planning to send MIA and NYCCoing data back to Beijing as the rules suggest? Sending you the very best regards.
