An anonymous Substack post published this week accuses compliance startup Delve of “falsely” convincing “hundreds of customers” that it complies with privacy and security regulations, potentially exposing those customers to “criminal liability under HIPAA and significant fines under GDPR.” Delve is a Y Combinator-backed startup that announced last year that it would raise $32 million in Series A at a valuation of $300 million.

The system is currently under a level of strain probably not seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and the island lost its main economic lifeline. Havana’s current invitation to Cuban exiles to invest on the island has been rejected outright by many in the United States, viewing it as a last-ditch move by the government under growing pressure.
