You log in to Fidelity. You pull up your documents. A scanned copy of your passport sits on the screen. Up in the browser bar, there's a number. Ten digits. You change one digit. Someone else's passport loads.
That's it. That's the whole breach.
Between August 17 and August 19, 2024, someone did that. They fiddled with a 10-digit "Image ID" in the browser bar and pulled up other people's files. Social Security cards. Driver's licenses. Credit card numbers. Medical records. Some of those files belonged to children. Beneficiaries. People who never opened a Fidelity account themselves.
Three days. That's how long it ran. And then Fidelity went quiet.
They didn't tell customers until October 9th. Fifty-one days of silence. The beneficiaries and minors whose documents got pulled? Fidelity never told them at all.
I keep coming back to the number in the browser. It wasn't hidden. It wasn't scrambled. It sat right there in the open, sequential, like house numbers on a street. Walk to the next door. Walk in. See everything.
This kind of flaw sits at number one on the global list of known web threats. Not some exotic attack from a foreign government. The most basic hole there is. Back in 2019, a company called First American Financial had the same flaw and exposed roughly 885 million files. That was seven years ago. The whole industry watched it happen. Fidelity had seven years to look in its own house. The door stayed open.
So Massachusetts fined them. $1.25 million.
What FDR did to Americans in 1933 could be about to happen again
Most Americans have never heard this story.
In 1933, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102. It made it illegal for American citizens to own gold. He confiscated it. Then in 1934, he revalued gold 69% higher, pocketing the difference for the government.
Citizens got robbed. The government got rich. One executive order. One signature.
For 90 years, that revaluation has been frozen on the books at $42.22 per ounce. Nobody touched it. Nobody talked about it.
Until now.
Trump has publicly questioned this number. His Treasury Secretary confirmed they plan to "monetize the assets." There's a bill in Congress to revalue the gold to market prices above $5,000.
And here's the critical difference. In 1933, FDR used this power against the American people. Legal experts say Trump could use it for the American people. A revaluation today wouldn't confiscate gold. It would make every ounce held by American citizens dramatically more valuable overnight.
But you have to be holding gold before he signs. Not after.
The last time this happened, most Americans woke up the next morning not understanding what had changed. The small group who were positioned built wealth that lasted generations.
A free report called "The Great Gold Reset" reveals the full 1933 story, the executive authority Trump holds, and the 15-minute move to get positioned before history repeats.
Hold that number up to the light. Fidelity holds $18 trillion. That's trillion with a T. The fine comes to $0.000000069 per dollar they hold. Their operating income last year was $12.7 billion. Run the math and Fidelity earns the fine back in about 52 minutes of around-the-clock operating income. They did not admit fault. They say no fraud occurred.
Fifty-two minutes. That's what your passport is worth to them.
A class action settlement is open right now. It covers roughly 155,000 people, not just the 77,000 who got the original notice. If your documents were in that system, you may be in the class and not know it. You can file a claim at FidelityDataSettlement.com or call (833) 386-6470. With documented losses, you can claim up to $5,000.
He called them “evil.” Then he handed them his supercomputer.
Elon Musk called Anthropic “evil.”
Then he leased them his entire flagship supercomputer — every GPU, every megawatt — for $1.25 billion a month.
$15 billion a year. $45 billion over three years.
It’s the largest AI compute contract ever signed.
But here’s what nobody’s asking: what keeps those machines running?
Not software. Not chips. A permanent power system that doesn’t exist yet.
The temporary turbines powering Colossus expire on January 2nd. Without a replacement, the $45 billion contract — and SPCX’s valuation — goes dark.
One small company builds permanent power systems faster than anyone in America.
Dylan Jovine has the full story.
The deadline is July 27, 2026. If you do nothing, you get nothing. And you waive your right to sue Fidelity over this breach. Silence is a choice. It's the choice that helps them.
I still have money at Fidelity. Maybe you do too. I'm not telling you to leave. I'm telling you that the people guarding your most private documents couldn't be bothered to fix a flaw the whole world knew about for seven years. A ten-digit number in a browser bar. That's all it took.
File the claim. Don't give them your silence twice.
H.L.
