The CEO of a US credit cooperative Family First no longer holds that position several days after she posted a photo allegedly edited by artificial intelligence, showing her family wearing Lake America hoodies.

On Wednesday, Family First issued a statement on its website stating that Jane Smith had "immediately" left the company, and the Chief Operating Officer, Jason Acosta, would assume the role of interim CEO. The statement was jointly signed by Family First Credit Union, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Maurice Patterson, and Acosta.

Family First did not clarify whether this resignation was related to external reactions. Nevertheless, the credit cooperative stated on Thursday: 'We sincerely apologize for the concerns, disappointment, and pain that this situation has caused to our members and community.'

Family First is headquartered in Michigan, a state that borders Canada.

Smith posted this photo on Facebook on September 11th, with the caption: "Do you like our hoodies? Canada might not think so. Hahaha."

According to CBC News, this post was later deleted from Facebook.

Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Lake Ontario on the U.S.-Canada border would be renamed “Lake America”, which triggered a strong backlash from Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and even the animated comedy series “South Park”; the latter even changed its own name to “South America” as a satire of the U.S. president's order.

On September 17, during an interview with ABC12 News from Michigan, Smith stated that the photo contained artificial intelligence markers, but her sister removed these markers when she reposted it later on.

Smith is said to state: "We don't intend to make any political statements. However, we were just joking about the name of one of the Great Lakes being changed."

Family First previously stated in a declaration to ABC12 News that the company 'clearly disapproves of and rejects the content of this social media post involving our CEO, Jane Smith'.

U.S. Representative Timothy Kennedy (Democratic, New York State) has also proposed legislation in an attempt to stop Trump's efforts to change the name of Lake Ontario and to prohibit any future name changes to any of the Great Lakes.

Who decides on the liquidation when assets remain with the custodian bank and funds are lent out onto the blockchain?
After institutions hand over their collateral to qualified custodian organizations, they can still obtain funds from the on-chain lending market. This is the approach outlined by Chainlink on October 26th when introducing CustodySync. The official first-party partner is Anchorage Digital Bank, which, in conjunction with its Atlas collateral management product, integrates the custodial arrangements familiar to institutions into the liquidity of DeFi.

The unemployment rate in the eurozone remains at 6.5%, yet the number of unemployed has increased by 122,000.
The unemployment rate in the eurozone in September remained the same as in August, at 6.5%; however, the number of unemployed increased from 11.433 million to 11.555 million, an increase of 122,000 in just one month. These figures, released by the European Union Statistics Office on October 30th, present another side of the so-called "stable unemployment rate": while the ratio shown in the headlines remained unchanged, the number of people joining the ranks of the unemployed continued to rise.

Eurozone GDP growth slows month-on-month, but rises to 1.3% year-on-year
Within the same GDP table, the quarter-on-quarter growth rate in the eurozone dropped from 0.6% to 0.4% in the third quarter, while the year-on-year growth rate increased from 1.2% to 1.3%. If only one line of data is considered, the economic trend might seem to tell two opposite stories. According to the preliminary rapid estimates released by the European Union Statistics Office on October 30th, these two sets of figures need to be viewed together, and readers are advised to first distinguish between the time periods being compared.
