  2. High-Profile Fraudster Kimble Back In The US After Getting Caught In The Philippines

    Herbert Leon Kimble – one of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) most wanted fraudsters – was brought back to the United States following his arrest in the Philippines, according to a news report by GMA News. Kimble is notorious for illegal acts such as healthcare fraud, bribery, mail fraud and wire fraud to name a few. Kimble was caught at a casino in the Philippines.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

    After his arrest in the Philippines, the US Department of Justice announced Saturday (Manila time) the capture of one of the most wanted fraudsters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

    Fugitive Herbert Leon Kimble arrived in the United States after being arrested by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration’s Fugitive Search Unit at a casino in Pasig City.

    According to the US DOJ, immigration agents spent several months tracking Kimble’s whereabouts before finally apprehending him.

    FBI records show that on April 4, 2019, Kimble pleaded guilty in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina, Columbia Division, to conspiracy charges related to defrauding the United States, making false claims to a federal agency, mail fraud, wire fraud, healthcare fraud, and offering kickbacks and bribes in connection with the scheme. However, Kimble failed to appear for his scheduled sentencing hearing on August 27, 2024. Federal authorities then issued an arrest warrant that same day after charging him with failure to appear.

    US Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the arrest of Kimble, who is accused of orchestrating more than $1.2 billion in Medicare fraud—one of the largest healthcare fraud cases ever prosecuted in America.

    A reward of up to $150,000 had been offered for information leading to Kimble’s arrest.

    Fleeing the United States does not mean you can flee justice. Instead of facing accountability for his $1.2 billion Medicare fraud crimes in the United States, Kimble fled to the Philippines hoping to escape justice. That plan failed. Under President Trump’s leadership, the FBI has now apprehended two fraudsters from its recently unveiled Most Wanted Fraudsters list in just two weeks, with more to come,” Blanche said in a statement.

    Call centers in the Philippines – The FBI said Kimble was involved in the “improper marketing and distribution” of durable medical equipment (DME), particularly orthopedic braces.

    It said Kimble ran a “sophisticated call-center-based operation” from around 2014 to March 2019, which acted as the “marketing engine for a nationwide fraud scheme” wherein individuals contacted call centers in the Philippines, DME suppliers who served as billers, and orthopedic brace suppliers or drop shippers.

    “His operations focused primarily on initiating contact with Medicare beneficiaries and persuading them to request orthopedic braces for pain relief, which were frequently unnecessary and prescribed through telemedicine consultations that often lacked legitimate medical consultations,” the FBI said.

    The prescriptions were sold to DME companies, the designated suppliers would ship the braces, then the DME companies would bill Medicare for reimbursement, the FBI added.

    “His fraudulent healthcare enterprise resulted in more (than) $1.2 billion in Medicare charges and affected thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, many of whom were elderly victims,” the bureau said.

    Most Wanted Fraudsters list – Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel thanked Philippine authorities and US law enforcement partners for their efforts in capturing Kimble.

    “Thank you to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and our Justice Department partners for their assistance in returning Kimble to the US to face justice. President Trump set a mandate to end the abuse of hardworking taxpayer money, and each and every day this team will be committed to delivering,” Patel said.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Are you delighted by the successful arrest of Herbert Leon Kimble whose criminal acts were so extensive and involved a massive amount of money? Do you personally know anyone who was affected by Kimble’s criminal acts?

  3. CW: Clever idea, AI slop, Legal Commentary

    On the same day as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the Helluva Boss NSFW short “Barbie’s Bad Day” was released. Then the FBI and DOJ pivoted to indicting Comey for an Instagram post because, according to Trump, mob folk in the movies once used "86" as code for murder. The bare-bones indictment certainly didn't disclose that Comey deleted the post, said he had no idea a 1930s diner code still in daily use today had violent implications, or “apologized” (citation required!) — claimed facts Kash Patel went ahead and described at his press conference, apparently violating grand jury secrecy in the process.

    So while AG Blanche tries to dig himself out of the hole of vindictive prosecution and to wrestle with the “true threat” standard of Elonis v. US (2015); US v. White, (4th Cir. 2016); and Counterman v. Colorado (2023), let’s look at the following AI slop.

    • Quotes are from “Barbie’s Bad Day” and "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)"

    • I know the difference between Barbie Wire and some generic Verosika/Imp/Hot Topic girl — this is AI slop, not the work of a talented artist

    • Obsessive fans will know the actual Asmodeus quote is “Mammon can eat my ass. In a bad way.” but the “but” is necessary to capture the duality of meaning to the average person on the street.

    • And duality of meaning is just one of the many, many reasons this Comey indictment needs to be mocked rather than being respected as administration of justice.

  5. "Here’s the bigger issue for the country, as the Iran episode indicates: Kash Patel is simply bad at his job.

    Look at the three biggest, highest-profile crimes of his tenure — the shooting of Charlie Kirk, the Brown University shooting, and the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie. …

    In all three cases, the FBI has actually been notably absent…."

  6. #FBI Dir #KashPatel said last year that the agency was severing its relationship with the #SPLC, which had long provided law enforcement with research on #HateCrime & domestic #extremism. Patel said the SPLC had been turned into a “partisan smear machine,” & accused it of defaming “mainstream Americans” with its “hate map” that documents alleged anti-government & hate groups inside the US.

  7. El FBI admite la compra de datos de ubicación de ciudadanos estadounidenses sin orden judicial

    La frontera entre la seguridad nacional y la privacidad individual se ha vuelto a desdibujar. Una investigación liderada por el senador Ron Wyden ha revelado que el FBI continúa comprando masivamente datos de ubicación de ciudadanos estadounidenses a través de corredores de datos (data brokers). Esta práctica permite a la agencia rastrear movimientos precisos sin necesidad de una orden judicial, aprovechando un vacío legal que el Congreso aún no ha logrado cerrar (Fuente Politico.com).

    El informe surge en un momento de máxima tensión política, coincidiendo con las audiencias de confirmación de Kash Patel para dirigir el FBI, quien ha prometido una «limpieza profunda» de la agencia bajo la nueva administración.

    ¿Cómo obtiene el FBI estos datos?

    En lugar de solicitar la información directamente a las operadoras telefónicas (lo que requeriría una orden de un juez), el FBI recurre al mercado comercial:

    • Corredores de Datos: Empresas privadas recopilan información de ubicación proveniente de aplicaciones de juegos, clima y compras que los usuarios tienen instaladas en sus teléfonos.
    • El «Vacío Legal»: Dado que estos datos están disponibles para la venta de forma «comercial», las agencias gubernamentales argumentan que comprarlos no constituye un registro ilegal bajo la Cuarta Enmienda.
    • Precisión Alarmante: Según el senador Wyden, los datos adquiridos permiten reconstruir la vida entera de una persona: desde visitas al médico y lugares de culto hasta reuniones políticas privadas.

    Kash Patel y la promesa de reforma

    Durante las audiencias en el Senado, el nominado a director del FBI, Kash Patel, ha utilizado este informe para reforzar su discurso de reforma:

    1. Cese de Compras: Patel ha sugerido que, bajo su mando, el FBI dejará de utilizar fondos públicos para adquirir bases de datos de ciudadanos estadounidenses que eludan el proceso judicial tradicional.
    2. Transparencia: Se ha comprometido a publicar un inventario de todos los contratos vigentes con data brokers tecnológicos.
    3. Protección de Datos: Esta postura se alinea con la reciente alerta del FBI sobre códigos QR maliciosos, buscando proyectar una imagen de la agencia como protectora del ciudadano frente a las amenazas externas, en lugar de un vigilante interno.

    El contexto de marzo 2026

    Esta revelación cierra una quincena donde la soberanía de los datos ha sido el tema central:

    • Privacidad en Apps: Mientras Meta retira el cifrado en Instagram para facilitar la moderación, el FBI demuestra que la verdadera vulnerabilidad está en los metadatos de ubicación que las apps comparten en segundo plano.
    • Nuevas Alternativas: El lanzamiento del navegador Comet de Perplexity y la VPN gratuita de Firefox responden precisamente a la creciente demanda de los usuarios por herramientas que bloqueen el rastreo publicitario y gubernamental.
    • Geopolítica: La noticia llega el mismo día en que se filtran los detalles del «Impuesto TikTok», donde el gobierno recibirá 10.000 millones de dólares tras mediar en la venta de la app, subrayando el inmenso valor económico y estratégico de los datos de usuario.

    ¿Qué pueden hacer los usuarios?

    Los expertos en privacidad recomiendan revisar de inmediato los «Servicios de Ubicación» en los ajustes de sus dispositivos (especialmente en los nuevos Galaxy S26 y iPhones) y restringir el acceso a la ubicación «siempre activa» para aplicaciones que no la necesiten estrictamente para funcionar.

    Muchos legisladores quieren poner fin a esta práctica. Los senadores Ron Wyden (demócrata por Oregón) y Mike Lee (republicano por Utah) presentaron el 13 de marzo la Ley de Reforma de la Vigilancia Gubernamental , que exigiría a las agencias federales de inteligencia y aplicación de la ley obtener una orden judicial para comprar información personal de los estadounidenses.

  8. #Texas#Antifa Cell” Terror Trial Takes on Tough Questions About Guns at #Protests Against #ICE

    After a cop got shot, #Prairieland #ICEProtesters face #terrorism charges. Will #AlexPretti’s killing sway the jury?

    Matt Sledge, February 11 2026

    "A group of activists gathered outside the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas last July 4 with fireworks and plans to mount more than a polite protest.
    They were there for less than an hour before things took a turn: A police officer was wounded by a gunshot.

    "Only one member of the group is accused of pulling a trigger, but 19 people went to jail on state and federal charges. Attorney General #PamBondi labeled the defendants terrorists, and FBI Director #KashPatel bragged that it was the first time alleged antifa activists had been hit with terror charges.

    "Months later, the Trump administration recycled the label to smear Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Minneapolis residents who were shot and killed by federal immigration agents. They were supposedly dangerous left-wing agitators, in Pretti’s case legally carrying what the government said was a 'dangerous gun.' The videos of Good and Pretti’s killings disproved the administration’s lies.

    "Unlike the Minneapolis shootings, the full events at Prairieland were not caught on video. Instead, a jury in federal court will hear evidence against nine defendants at a trial starting next week, which will serve as the first major courtroom test of the Trump administration’s push to label #LeftWing activists as #DomesticTerrorists."

  9. "Jeanine Pirro got the officer up there, talking about how he felt the impact through his ballistic vest and there were onions and mustard everywhere. And the jury looked at this and said: get the fuck out of here."

  10. Typically, the #FBI has turned to #polygraph tests to sniff out employees who might have betrayed their country or shown they cannot be trusted with #StateSecrets.

    Since #KashPatel took office as the director of the FBI, the bureau has significantly stepped up the use of the lie-detector test, at times subjecting personnel to a question as specific as whether they have cast aspersions on Patel himself.

  11. #KashPatel’s nom as #FBI director is also considered a harder sell.

    …The display of #fealty on Capitol Hill reflects #Trump’s far greater command over the #Republican Party than when he was first sworn in to office in 2017. In 2016, Republican senators had outperformed Trump on the ballot & felt little debt to the political novice. This time, almost every incoming senator in a competitive race underperformed Trump, & the party has been remade in his image.

    "Will you be seeking retribution against Donald T****'s enemies?"

    If the answer was "No", he would have SAID "No". 🤔

    This is not good.

    By resigning, #Wray CREATES an opening for head of the #FBI that the #ConvictedFelon must now fill, and it's not like he has a "list" of candidates for the job.

    I mention this b/c I want to remind everyone that #DonnieDumbass' pick to head the FBI (#KashPatel) wants to "abolish" the FBI. 🤦‍♂️

    So WHO exactly would investigate incidents like this if these stupid-ass bastards get their way? #WeAreSoScrewed #TeamOfIdiots
