Q&A highlights: Bosco says international courts can’t handle crypto, sees tech hope for climate, warns on military overreach
Summary
In audience Q&A, Bosco told attendees that international courts lack capacity to police cryptocurrency‑enabled crime, expressed cautious optimism that technological advances (not treaties) may blunt the worst climate scenarios, and said recent interventions show the risks of U.S. military action to topple foreign governments.
During the audience question period, Donald Bruce asked whether the international justice system can cope with organized crime enabled by cryptocurrency and raised environmental concerns tied to global cooperation. Bosco replied that the international courts (such as the ICJ) are not equipped to handle crypto crime and that national legal systems have had only limited success without stronger cross‑border cooperation. "The international justice system cannot deal with it. That is a 100% clear," he said.
On climate, Bosco described international negotiations as disappointing in reducing emissions but offered measured optimism that technological change—particularly rapid growth in solar generation and alternative fuels—could reduce the likelihood of the most extreme outcomes. In response to an audience question about the possibility of the U.S. attempting to overthrow Cuba’s government, Bosco said lessons from recent military actions (which he discussed in the context of Iran and Venezuela reporting) suggest such operations create unpredictable and costly entanglements that serve as a barrier to easy intervention.
