Abbott's order turns grid costs into the new mining fight, and Texas just gave other states the template.
Europe is turning compliance into product design, not paperwork, and Zcash is on the wrong side of that line.
The civil case didn't replace the prison sentence. It stacked a permanent market ban on top of it.

The case moves the HyperFund fallout past founders and into the people who sold the dream to everyone else.
