I protect people from technology, and technology from people. Focused on all things security, defense, risk, and resilience. I brake for wildflowers and chase art history mysteries.
It’s possible that the pieces are being used as collateral to finance other OCG activities and were stolen without the intent to rip them part and resell, it does happen. In that case there would be more of a chance that the pieces remain intact and potentially together.

(If this were a movie we’d expect to see a montage of a chop shop with a seedy bench jeweler and lapidary tucked away in Antwerp)

If they need to move the pieces through the market, they would have to convert them into a usable form. That would mean full on destruction: recutting historic stones (pink diamonds, emeralds, sapphires), pulling small diamonds out of settings to sell in bulk, melting down mountings.

Personally, I would look into a screen replacement if it's an option, and hold off until the new phones with the new hardware and hw backed security features are available. Q4 shipping times without tariff uncertainty mean some phones arrive mid Oct/early Nov. Gives you more time if you need it.

Here's the filing for California's case, which went up a few hours ago: oag.ca.gov/system/files...

It's the US District Court for the Northern District of California, which was entirely too hard to confirm. So now it's time to delve into who is on the bench and what politics and appointments got them there while flipping between the channels.

Tbh I’m just going to pretend we got a Chicago deep dish pizzaballa 🍕

Possibly! But I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a joint task force of some sorts with the Swiss Guard in the implementation role

Shoutout to the folks who have to devise, maintain, and roll out the security and incident response plans for this one
May 8, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Guys how long does it take to coordinate and give us a “Habemus Pizzaballa!”?!
May 8, 2025 at 4:59 PM
We’re back to markets coverage, namely there’s a segment with ARM and lots of hardware headlines flashing on the screen

Bloomberg is reporting that the new pope is at the “trying on his vestments” stage of the process. For those also worried about what the new pope is gonna wear, they had the same outfit available in 3 sizes just to be ready for the new guy

If it’s Pizzaballa and they quickly embroidered 🍕 on it …

Hold up, there’s a papal marching band in blue uniforms — have they been on call for this the whole time?! And we get the Michelangelo Buonarroti (ninja turtle!) designed uniforms of the Swiss guard too?!

My best guess is that it might take an hour between smoke and the new pope showing his face — writing the press release and getting the review and approval done does take a second!
May 8, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Side note, there are some SPICY 🌶️ headlines and numbers on Bloomberg but they’ve broken into long form commentary about papal elections and the papacy. If this goes on much longer we’re gonna get a thesis about the consensus mechanism for papal selection as if it’s a blockchain protocol

Okay, how long do we think it takes to do the ceremonies (the inspection 🙈), pass through the room of tears, swap outfits, put on new jewelry, and show up on the balcony?! Asking in case I need to make dough and give it sufficient time to proof so I can potentially invent pizzaballas this evening.
May 8, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Okay, they’ve literally stopped reporting on the markets on Bloomberg and they’re giving long form commentary — unclear if this is going to go until we get a dude on a balcony or what
May 8, 2025 at 4:16 PM
We’ve got white smoke!!! It could be our guy 🍕🎾
May 8, 2025 at 4:12 PM
If you do this you haaaaaave to show us the results
May 7, 2025 at 6:47 PM
Okay, I have some thoughts about this that include things like stretching pizza dough over stainless steel bowls but I’m not ambitious enough to try

It would be cool af though!
