Cuomo’s Crypto Caper: Can He Outshine Mamdani’s Charm? 🎩💰

by

Darling, gather round! The indomitable Andrew Cuomo, erstwhile Governor of New York and now, it seems, a mayoral hopeful, has decided to don the mantle of a crypto visionary. 🌆✨ How utterly divine!

This declaration, my dears, arrives mere weeks after the dashing Eric Adams bowed out of the race, leaving our dear Cuomo as the sole crypto-enthusiast in the running. How convenient, no? 🕶️💼

Cuomo’s Crypto Dreams: A Spotlight on His OKX Shenanigans 🎭

According to the ever-charming Eleanor Terrett, doyenne of Crypto America, Cuomo plans to anoint a Chief Innovation Officer (CIO). This individual, presumably a genius of the highest order, will weave together crypto, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology into a citywide tapestry of innovation. 🧵🤖

  • Coordinating tech initiatives across city agencies (how tedious!),
  • Streamlining technology adoption (because bureaucracy is so last season), and
  • Attracting investment and high-skilled jobs (money, darling, always money). 💸

This council, no doubt a cabal of the brightest minds, will advise on regulatory adoption, workforce development, and slashing red tape for emerging industries. How very progressive! 🗳️✂️

Cuomo’s campaign, my loves, is selling this as the modernization of New York City, positioning it as a rival to Silicon Valley. How ambitious! But then, darling, isn’t ambition just another word for desperation? 🌉🤔

Of course, one mustn’t forget that this is all campaign theater. Cuomo, like a certain blonde bombshell of politics, will say anything to woo the electorate. Crypto, darling, is just the latest accessory in his political wardrobe. 🕶️💍

And let’s not overlook the skeptics, who question whether our dear Cuomo will have the power to execute this grand vision. After all, a title is just a title unless it comes with clout. 🦹‍♂️❌

Chief Innovation Officer is a good idea if they actually have power. Otherwise it’s just another title.

Still, with Adams out of the picture, Cuomo has a leg up, though he’s hardly the crypto champion Adams was. But fear not, for he must still best the formidable Zohran Mamdani, who leads by a considerable margin. 🏇🏆

Cuomo’s Crypto Past: A Tangled Web 🕸️

Ah, but this isn’t Cuomo’s first crypto rodeo. A Bloomberg exposé revealed his dalliance with the OKX exchange, which was under federal investigation by the FBI and the Southern District of New York. How scandalous! 🕵️‍♂️🔍

Cuomo, it seems, advised the Seychelles-based exchange on policy matters and its legal response. And let’s not forget his recommendation of Linda Lacewell, his former ally, who now serves as OKX’s chief legal officer. How cozy! 👩⚖️🤝

Cuomo’s spokesperson, of course, defended his private-sector work, claiming he’s never represented clients before New York agencies. How convenient! But darling, the optics are simply dreadful. 🕶️🤦‍♂️

Andrew Cuomo could’ve spent the years since his resignation making amends and helping New Yorkers.

Instead he hounded the women who spoke out about his serial harassment, fought to keep his book deal millions…and advised a foreign crypto exchange that broke US law.

The investigation, my dears, ended with OKX settling for $504 million. Cuomo’s involvement could be his ace or his Achilles’ heel. Will voters see him as a crypto sage or a consultant with questionable taste? 🧙‍♂️⚖️

Yet, Cuomo persists, positioning himself as the crypto candidate. Whether his experience becomes an asset or a liability depends entirely on how voters view his digital utopia. 🌐🤔
