Chris Larsen, cofounder of Ripple who just sold $250million of XRP last week, upgrading SFPD surveillance grid.
The net is closing fast it seems...
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday a $9.4 million donation from a crypto billionaire to upgrade the police department's surveillance technology, including a new Real-Time Investigation Center (RTIC).
According to the mayor's office, the donation comes from Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple. With the money, the center will move from its current location at the Hall of Justice to a vacant office in the Financial District.
"It gives the team room to grow and ensures they're fully operational in a crisis. And it puts them right in the heart of downtown, where they can best serve every neighborhood across San Francisco," Lurie said at a press briefing Thursday morning.
Larsen said in a statement, "We are proud to help usher in a new era of accountability with the launch of an enhanced Real-Time Investigation Center for SFPD and law enforcement partners that matches San Francisco's reputation as the innovation capital of the world."
Also known as RTIC, the center brings together live data from drones, surveillance cameras and automated license plate readers, providing first responders with real-time information.
Lurie said the center has helped with more than 500 arrests and prevented numerous police pursuits since its launch in March 2024, including 32 arrests in the past week.
"This is the beginning of a new era of policing in San Francisco," said police chief Bill Scott, who is soon leaving the department to lead the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority police. "Our hard-working officers can continue to drive crime down by identifying and arresting offenders as quickly as possible."

US / Iranian Conflict
Raising to AmCON 3 (Incident Probable)
Due to the following: deteriorating negotiations between the United States and Iran; the surge in the past 48 hours of “final stage” US military assets into the Middle East; vacating US personnel from bases in Syria; the “Fatwa” issued last summer by Iranian clerics in the Summer of 2025 calling Muslims around the world to rise up if Iran is attacked; the numerous reports of Iranians who have infiltrated the US southern border in recent years and the warnings of “sleeper cells” in the United States, AmRRON is raising the AmCON one level, to Level 3 (Incident Probable).
AmRRON Special Guidance and Instructions:
AmRRON will remain at AmCON 3 until further notice, and we will continuously be monitoring the situation. Additional changes to the AmCON level, and any special instructions or guidance, will be posted here, as well as through the AmRRON member Telegram Channel, the AmRRON Corps Z-Net, and the AmRRON Mobile Team App....
If you’re a parent, this should make your stomach drop!
Every year, millions of families across America proudly display school photos of their children.
On refrigerators. In picture frames. Sent to grandparents and relatives across the country.
But here’s what most parents are never told…
Those school photos are taken by Lifetouch — the largest school photography company in America.
Lifetouch is owned by Shutterfly.
Shutterfly was acquired by Apollo Global Management.
And Apollo Global Management was co-founded by Leon Black — a name that appears in the Epstein files.
That means millions of children’s images are uploaded into databases every single year by a corporate structure tied to someone connected to Epstein.
Let that sink in!
