Get Your Security Deposit Back With Bitcoin
In most jurisdictions, security deposits are intended to provide landlords with a financial guaranty against nonpayment of rent or excess damage to a rental property during tenancy. In the past the primary way to provide this guarantee has been for the tenant to deposit funds, in trust, with the landlord. The landlord takes custody, but not ownership of the funds. The obvious problem is that, aside from ethical and legal obligations, a landlord has no incentive to return a tenant’s security deposit – which is why almost everyone who has been a renter has a “they-didn’t-return-my-security-deposit” story. Custodial security deposits present the same problems as most custodial accounts. Custodial accounts are easy to “borrow” from. In the case of security […]

LifeLock Sues Xapo Executives Over Bitcoin Wallet Intellectual Property
Bitcoin bank and payment processor Xapo faces uncertain waters as much of the company’s executive team is being sued for contract violations. The misgivings center on the last months that Xapo co-founder and CEO Wences Casares, along with other Xapo employees, worked for the mobile wallet Lemon. In December 2013, the $1.5 billion online security company LifeLock acquired the mobile wallet for $42.5 million (and rebranded it LifeLock Wallet). As reported by Fortune, the lawsuit is over whether Xapo was originally developed during his and other Xapo employees’ time working for Lemon. Or as LifeLock’s compliant puts it, “using a product developed by Lemon employees, in Lemon’s facilities, on Lemon’s computers, and on Lemon’s dime.” Several months before Lemon would […]

Asked and Answered: What 10-Year-Old Yadid Asked the President
This is the latest post in our “Asked and Answered” series, in which we periodically feature an exchange between the President — or a Senior Administration Official — and an American who wrote him. If you’d like to write the President yourself, you can do so here.
May was Jewish American Heritage Month. To celebrate, the President joined communities around the country in honoring the contributions Jewish Americans have made to our nation and the shared values that move us forward together.
To highlight these enduring ideals, we wanted to share a letter exchange between the President and a young Jewish American writer whose parents celebrated Hanukkah at the White House last year. Ten-year-old Yadid Frydman Orlow from White Plains, New York thanked the President, but asked a few important questions as well. His thoughtful questions reflect the recognition that progress begins when someone dares to ask, “What can I do to help?”
