  1. US Charges Chinese Nationals in Myanmar Scam Compounds

    The US has charged two Chinese nationals, Jiang Wen Jie and Huang Xingshang, with running forced-labor scam compounds in Myanmar that targeted Americans to the tune of at least $7.2 billion in 2025. Authorities have also seized over 503 domains used to perpetrate the fraud, dealing a significant blow to the scam operations.

  2. Some people participated in both schemes…. One involved illegal #poker games that were set up by #OrganizedCrime families & also involved at least one #NBA coach & fmr players in the league….

    The case is expected to involve more than two dozen defendants, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, & to involve charges of #gambling, #MoneyLaundering & #WireFraud.

    [guess Trump is pissed he was left out 😜]

  3. Noah Urban, aka "King Bob" and a suspected member of Scattered Spider, pleaded guilty this week in a case involving wire fraud, cryptocurrency theft, phishing, and simswapping. He had cases against him in Florida and California. Other people indicted with him have yet to be tried or to make plea deals, and one young man from Scotland has been detained in Spain pending determination of extradition request (I haven't found any update on the extradition case).

  4. #Trump on Friday commuted the sentence & probation of #CarlosWatson, a co-founder of the now-defunct #digital #media company Ozy Media, on the day he was set to surrender to prison.

    Watson was sentenced in Dec to almost 10yrs in #prison for #fraud, #IdentityTheft, #SecuritiesFraud, & #WireFraud.

    Watson & Ozy were also ordered to pay $96M in restitution & forfeiture. As part of Trump’s commutation, they will no longer have to pay.

  5. “He hoped the visual appeal of the cash would impress a female into having sexual relations with him. He stated his plan did not work.”

  6. GOP Congressturd Matt Gaetz' Corrupt Florida Wingman Joel Greenberg sentenced to 11 years #FederalPrison for multiple charges including #wirefraud, sex trafficking minor etc.

    Greenberg's attorney disappointed that after fully cooperating for years with DOJ before sentencing, no else has been charged in related matters.

    Prosecutor's involved recommended Gaetz be charged back in Sept, but senior officials within Merrick Garland's #DOJ have thus far been silent on a potential political hot potato prosecution as #GOP take over House of Rep's with Gaetz on Judiciary Committee.
