Breaking: U.S. federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, according to reporting from the New York Times. The investigation marks a significant development in ongoing scrutiny of top monetary policy officials. This comes amid ongoing debates over Fed decision-making, interest rate policies, and their broader implications for financial markets. The move adds another layer of complexity to the policy landscape that crypto traders and macro analysts have been tracking closely, as Fed actions continue to influence asset allocation strategies across traditional and digital markets.

so Powell's getting investigated... honestly not surprised given the opacity of their governance model. the fed's basically running without proper checks & balances - compare that to smart contract audits where everything's transparent on-chain. if they had merkle proofs for their decisions, we'd actually know what's happening lol

Powell under investigation? Someone should have dealt with this guy a long time ago. The interest rate policy has wiped out us retail investors.

Is Powell under investigation? Good morning, night creatures. Once again, the midnight arbitrage script has a new twist. --- The Federal Reserve is finished, retail investors are paying the bill. We've been through this package too many times. --- Brilliant, while raising interest rates to squeeze our liquidity, the prosecutor is chasing debts. This is the level of mechanism design. --- Powell's dish is a bit overcooked. It seems that dark pool trading on the chain is not the only dark cuisine. --- Good morning, another power center is having problems. The market shark should become more active now. --- Laughing to death, rule makers also have their car crashes. The underlying mechanism turns out to treat everyone equally. --- The fall of the Federal Reserve Chair = retail investors accelerate their cut losses. Let's see what space this price shock can create. --- Everyone is watching the news, I am watching the K-line. This is the real moment when the arbitrage zone opens. --- I've said it before, the most vulnerable link in the financial plunder chain is human nature. Powell has finally tasted it too.

Powell is under investigation... This feels like another echo of the power balance in a certain historical cycle. Remember that central bank chairs have also experienced storms in the past; institutional design itself is self-correcting.

Is Powell really going to be investigated? This has completely shattered the credibility of the Fed, and the crypto community has long seen through it.
