C Street Advisory Group Launches Dedicated Digital Assets and Crypto Communications Practice
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--C Street Advisory Group, LLC ('C Street'), the leading strategic communications advisory and crisis management firm, today announced the launch of its Digital Assets and Crypto Communications Practice – a new initiative designed to support clients across the rapidly evolving blockchain, digital currency, and decentralized finance ecosystem. Unveiled at the largest-ever Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the new practice reflects C Street's expanding commitment to helping exchanges, protocols, and litigation stakeholders navigate the unique legal, regulatory, and reputational challenges in the digital asset space. The practice is led by Senior Managing Director Jackie Rubin, one of the most experienced communications professionals in crypto, with a record of success across the industry's most high-profile moments. 'Crypto is no longer a niche, it's mainstream, institutional, and a critical part of the global economic infrastructure,' said Jon Henes, Founder and CEO of C Street. 'As America's largest banks collaborate on stablecoin initiatives and Congress advances the GENIUS Act to regulate digital currencies, our clients are helping shape the future of finance. This practice formalizes our role as their strategic partner, and there's no one better to lead it than Jackie.' Rubin's experience spans the full arc of crypto's evolution, from early growth and unicorn valuations to strategic partnerships and high-stakes restructurings. She has become one of the most sought-after communications advisors in crypto, known for her ability to translate legal complexity and regulatory risk into clear, credible, and actionable messaging. With the addition of best-in-class team members, C Street has emerged as a communications firm of choice for the digital asset sector, advising on many of the most consequential and closely watched crypto matters in recent years. 'Crypto moves fast, but trust is built over time, and with transparency,' said Rubin. 'As digital innovation meets increasing regulatory scrutiny, communications must be both agile and anchored in credibility. This focused group is built to help clients – from exchanges and issuers to creditors and boards – navigate the landscape with strategic foresight and clear, compelling narratives.' The group unites a multidisciplinary team combining C Street's deep bench in financial restructuring, litigation support, transformations and crisis management with domain-specific expertise in blockchain, regulation, and digital finance. C Street has advised on some of the most complex and closely followed matters in the space, including Celsius, BlockFi, an emerging innovator in bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure, and the Genesis Litigation Oversight Committee, among others. 'Our team knows the intense focus required in this area, especially given how quickly expectations and regulatory frameworks are shifting,' said Michael Frishberg, President of C Street. 'Thanks to our strong relationships in Washington and Wall Street, and our unmatched experience in high-stakes communications, C Street is uniquely positioned to help digital asset clients protect value, preserve trust, and lead through change.'

A Michigan bridge official died in 2010. It took 15 years to lay him to rest
A Michigan man who had a key role in building one of the longest bridges in the United States has been buried 15 years after his death after a funeral home near the iconic structure surprised the public by saying it still had his ashes. Larry Rubin was laid to rest Wednesday in Petoskey, 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the Mackinac Bridge, which connects Michigan's two peninsulas. For decades, Rubin was the senior staff member at the Mackinac Bridge Authority, which manages the bridge, a 5-mile (8 km) span over the Straits of Mackinac that is considered the third-longest suspension bridge in the U.S. It opened in 1957. When the bridge was built, "he had an important role because the Authority needed someone to carry out their decisions. He served with excellence,' Barbara Brown, a former board member, said Friday. Brown said she was 'just shocked' when she saw Rubin's name listed in the St. Ignace newspaper. A funeral home was informing the public that it had many unclaimed cremains. His family apparently didn't pick them up after he died at age 97 in 2010. Val Meyerson of Temple B'nai Israel in Petoskey was familiar with the Jewish section of Greenwood Cemetery and aware that Rubin's first wife, Olga, was buried there in 1990. His name was already on the headstone in anticipation of eventual death. Meyerson said friends from the Bridge Authority helped pay for Rubin's interment. About two dozen people attended a graveside service led by a rabbi. 'We all took turns filling in the grave, which was quite an honor," Brown said. 'To have been neglected and forgotten for so long — it was moving."
