Hook: What if we licensed cyber ‘privateers’ to recover hacked crypto — legally and at scale? This condensed edit of The Pomp Podcast (original ~74 minutes, new 12 minutes) captures Anthony Pompliano’s wide-ranging talk with Chris Perkins on crypto security, state actors, and a provocative letter-of-marque–style recovery plan. Learn why institutional capital shies away from operational and regulatory risk, how attackers target smaller projects, and how a regulated recovery program with bonds, adjudication, and incentives could fund defenses without taxpayer money. Key takeaways: the role of AI in offense and defense, tokenization and on-chain dollar liquidity, quantum-resistant engineering, and the regulatory taxonomy that could unlock fiduciary participation.
