Prestige, it seems, has its limits. The new Vault 100 rankings have arrived, and after several firms kissed Trump's ring, perceptions appear to have shifted - and not in the most flattering direction.
Binance's lawsuit protests a subheading on the article that said, 'Weeks after Trump pardoned Binance's founder, the company dismantled [the] probe and suspended the investigators.' A current reading of that article, however, shows the subheading now includes a note that 'Binance denied inquiry ended or staff fired for the concerns.'

A year or so ago, most legal departments were still testing. AI pilots. Workflow trials. Small process experiments. Everyone was learning cautiously.
