Anthropic is calling for governments to have the authority to stop deployment of advanced AI systems that pose unacceptable risks. CEO Dario Amodei points to the company's Mythos cybersecurity model as proof that AI has become a matter of national and strategic consequence, warning that cyber risks may soon be followed by biological and autonomy risks. Meanwhile, security researcher Nightmare Eclipse has released RoguePlanet, a new Windows Defender zero-day that reportedly works against fully patched Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. The disclosure comes shortly after Microsoft said it had no intention of pursuing action against security researchers, suggesting the dispute between the company and the researcher is far from over. And European authorities have dismantled AudiA6, a cryptocurrency laundering operation that Europol says used thousands of fraudulent exchange accounts to help obscure the proceeds of ransomware attacks and other cybercrime. Investigators linked the service to more than 15 ransomware and major cryptocurrency theft investigations worldwide.

Many people, when they hear the word propaganda, immediately associate it with Nazi Germany and torchlight parades or Putin reviewing the troops in Red Square. But propaganda has Roman Catholic church origins going as far back as 1622, when Pope Gregory issued a proclamation using the term to exhort the faithful to propagate the faith. Today, propaganda is disseminated far and wide through the internet. It is used by autocrats to shield themselves and their policies from public view. Bots are at work. Malicious actors spread fake news. Deceptive techniques are so sophisticated that it is sometimes difficult to separate fact from fiction. Misinformation is eroding public trust in institutions and stressing and straining democracy. Stories are planted, rumors are spread, lies are told, and narratives are laundered.
Bill Gates' carefully cultivated public image as a calm, charitable, soft-spoken philanthropist is facing renewed scrutiny as questions around his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continue to follow him. The focus is on how Gates transformed himself from a hard-charging Microsoft executive into a global humanitarian figure, with public relations teams shaping everything from his clothing and media appearances to the tone of his interviews. That polished “Mr. Nice Guy” image is now being challenged by reporting about his Epstein meetings, criticism of his personal conduct, and a growing public suspicion that the friendly billionaire persona was carefully manufactured rather than organic.The broader issue is that Gates' reputation depends heavily on trust, and the Epstein connection damaged that trust in a way philanthropy alone cannot easily repair. Melinda French Gates has previously said his meetings with Epstein were a factor in their divorce, while Gates himself has called those meetings a mistake. The result is a public-relations problem that goes beyond one scandal: it raises questions about elite access, image management, accountability, and how powerful men are able to soften their reputations through philanthropy while uncomfortable parts of their history remain unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Is Bill Gates' Mr Nice Guy image beginning to crack? – Firstpost

Focusing on solutions, Bruce Bechtol argues in Rogue Allies that the U.S. must enforce existing sanctions to target North Korea's finances. North Korea utilizes sophisticated cyber laundering through Bitcoin and lax regulations in countries like the UAE to fund its operations. Containment strategies should include cyber warfare, vessel seizures, and selective strikes. Bechtol warns that Russia and China's open support for North Korea complicates these efforts. Ultimately, hitting the regime's "pocketbook" is the most effective non-kinetic means to disrupt their role as the logistics center for global revisionism. (4/4)JANUARY 1956
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on more than a dozen individuals and entities linked to the Sinaloa Cartel's fentanyl trafficking and money laundering operations, including a popular restaurant in Chihuahua, Mexico. This action highlights the cartel's use of seemingly legitimate businesses to facilitate illicit activities while underscoring ongoing efforts to combat the flow of deadly synthetic opioids into the United States. The sanctions reflect a broader strategy under the current administration to designate and dismantle narco-terrorist organizations responsible for thousands of American overdose deaths
Ghislaine Maxwell's family released a new statement in response to the Department of Justice's announcement that it is closing its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators. In it, they expressed “relief” that the probe has ended and argued that it validates their long-standing claim that Ghislaine was unfairly targeted and scapegoated. The family asserted that Ghislaine was prosecuted simply because of her association with Epstein, implying that her conviction was more about public pressure than actual culpability. They continue to frame her as a victim of circumstance, not a willing participant in the crimes for which she was convicted.The statement reads less like a defense and more like a soft relaunch of Ghislaine's image—an attempt to reframe her legacy as unjustly ruined rather than rightly condemned. By invoking the DOJ's decision as supposed proof of her innocence, the Maxwell family is working to erase the mountain of evidence, the survivor testimony, and the jury's unanimous verdict that put her in prison. It's a bold move—one that deliberately ignores the reality of what she did and who she helped. Their message isn't justice-seeking; it's reputation management dressed up as vindication.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell's family breaks their silence with bombshell claim as Trump decision to close Epstein case triggers MAGA civil war and cover-up claims | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A political earthquake hits as the Southern Poverty Law Center faces federal charges tied to fraud, money laundering, and alleged funding of extremist groups. The narrative around “domestic extremism” gets a serious shake-up—raising major questions about media, government policy, and the weaponization of ideology.
I break down the Savings & Loam Problem and the crushing logistics of handling 40 tons of $20 bills, the engineering of cash graveyards that swallow millions in vacuum-sealed bricks, and the relentless cognitive burden of mental ledgers that no spreadsheet can replace. This episode exposes why burial sites, trade-based laundering, and constant rotation are not options but necessities, drawing on decades of operational reality that no Hollywood script has ever captured. listeners seeking the raw economics of narco-finance will find an insider masterclass that reveals the hidden tax every cartel pays simply to keep its money alive.
This episode shifts the focus of human trafficking investigations toward the boardroom, exploring how white-collar crime tactics are used to track and disrupt global exploitation networks. By analyzing the laundering techniques and financial footprints of traffickers, investigators can build ironclad cases using forensic accounting and bank data. It serves as a compelling look at how "following the money" transforms the fight against trafficking into a high-stakes battle of financial intelligence and asset seizure.
Laundering money has never been easier, cheaper, or more secure for bad actors, so why do we persist with our current response? In this latest episode, host Tom Keatinge is joined by journalist Oliver Bullough to discuss his latest book, 'Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won', which reveals the seeming futility of the current approach to fighting financial crime. Those who work in the world of financial crime inevitably get caught up on the 'hamster wheel' of compliance without stopping to ask: 'why?' Oliver's book takes the time to do just that. It is a tough read – and an equally challenging listen – for those whose careers have been built on the long-held belief that our approach to financial crime fighting is making a difference. But as Oliver argues, it is past time we considered honestly whether all the money and time spent on fighting financial crime the way we currently approach the challenge is actually making a difference.
For years, the New Bedford docks were home to one of the most notorious fraudsters in Massachusetts fishing history. His name is Carlos Rafael, but you might remember him as “The Codfather.” Besides being an exciting yarn full of conspiracy and crime, Carlos's story ends up being a fascinating window into the challenge and perils of regulating fisheries in the US. This week on Say More, GBH News host and producer Ian Coss talks to host Shirley Leung about his new podcast series, “Catching the Codfather.” You can listen to the series here.

American lawmakers have long struggled to keep pace with the scale and sophistication of offshore financial networks used by figures like Jeffrey Epstein. These systems rely on shell companies, layered trusts, and jurisdictions with strict secrecy laws—places like the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands—making it difficult to trace ownership, follow money flows, or establish jurisdiction. In Epstein's case, investigators and civil litigants have pointed to a web of offshore entities and accounts that obscured how funds moved between his businesses, properties, and associates. Lawmakers have responded with hearings, proposed legislation, and pressure on regulators to tighten anti–money laundering rules, increase beneficial ownership transparency, and compel greater cooperation from foreign financial centers. Still, enforcement has often lagged behind the reality that capital can move instantly across borders while legal processes remain slow, fragmented, and dependent on international cooperation.The challenge is compounded by competing priorities and institutional limits. Financial privacy, diplomatic relationships, and the interests of major banks and investment firms often complicate efforts to impose stricter controls. Even when new rules are introduced—such as requirements to disclose beneficial owners or expand reporting obligations—critics argue they are either too narrow or inconsistently enforced. In high-profile cases like Epstein's, this has led to frustration among lawmakers and the public alike, as the full financial picture remains incomplete despite years of scrutiny. The broader concern is that without stronger, coordinated global standards and more aggressive domestic enforcement, offshore structures will continue to provide a shield for wealth, influence, and, potentially, illicit activity—leaving Congress perpetually reacting rather than staying ahead of the problem.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from having never, not once, understood how a car works. Tommy Metz III has that confidence in spades. In this episode, he reveals that his first car — a used Jeep Cherokee he lovingly named "Peace" (short for "piece of," well, you can fill in the rest) — featured a steering wheel so structurally compromised that he'd been casually jamming it back into the dashboard for months, under the assumption that this was simply how cars sometimes worked.It was not.The steering wheel eventually came off entirely at a stoplight. Which truly sets the tone for this week's episode about two adults who have been winging the maintenance of their lives with varying degrees of success.From there, the episode splits into dual adulting topics: car maintenance and laundry — two pillars of what Pete calls "maintenance rituals," the invisible, unglamorous labor of keeping your life from quietly falling apart. Tommy confesses to a lifetime of automotive ignorance and makes a surprisingly persuasive case for dealership loyalty. Pete delivers a laundry crash course, dismantling myths about fabric softener (it's coating your clothes in wax), detergent dosing (the cap is lying to you), and dry cleaning (it's not dry, and please stop smelling it).Competence in adulthood isn't about mastering everything, it's about finding the one or two maintenance rituals you're willing to own and doing them with quiet, slightly irrational pride. For Pete, that's a drawer full of Marie Kondo-folded t-shirts. For Tommy, it's the peace of mind that comes from letting a dealership send him a video before they touch anything. Neither of them knows what a fan belt is. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit allthefeelings.fum/join to learn more!

Send us a textMarci Marie Simmons was from a good upbringing, and had a good job. She had made a few wrong turns along the way but was doing well. After realizing the company she was working for was taking part in some not so above board accounting, Marci started doing some 'creative accounting' of her own. So, she had found a way to steal funds on a regular basis, and had become addicted to 'not getting caught'. She knew she had to stop, but couldn't. Listen to this amazing episode as we hear in detail about the day her world came crashing down. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for in 2011 for stealing a total of $367k. Although a lot, the punishment did not ,match the crime, and she was made an example of, even spending time in solitary confinement. She was released on parole in March 2021. Never a violent offender in or out of custody, she is now on a mission to help other female inmates who often suffer the same fate in the USA's corrupt and failed justice system. Wow.

What does it really look like to live as a professional high-stakes gambler at the very top of the casino food chain? In this episode, Johnny sits down with RJ “Chip” Ryan — a legendary blackjack whale who spent decades betting millions per hand in casinos from Atlantic City to Las Vegas to Macau. RJ tells the raw, unfiltered story of how he went from a broke gambler driving to Atlantic City with his last $5,000, to carrying $10 million in checks, flying private jets, rubbing shoulders with billionaires and celebrities, and taking casinos for millions of dollars at a time. RJ is also known to many as “Robin Hood of Las Vegas” from the Cocaine Cowboys universe — the man who helped launder cartel money through casinos, later cooperating with the feds and offering a very different version of events than what's been told on screen.

Welcome to HBR News where we give the badger treatment to the news of the week! This week we will be following up on a couple of stories as looking at the shooting in Australia, boys are going to respect women or else, and more!
Study Guide Rami bar Hama asks Rav Chisda whether blood that splashes onto a garment already impure requires laundering. Rav Huna son of Rav Yehoshua explains that the question hinges on whether laundering is unnecessary only when impurity and disqualification occur sequentially, or even when they occur simultaneously. Rav Chisda connects the issue to a dispute between Rabbi Elazar and the rabbis regarding the status of mei chatat that became impure, as interpreted by Abaye. To clarify Abaye's understanding, the Gemara presents a broader disagreement among Raba, Abaye, and Rava about the nature of the disagreement between Rabbi Elazar and the rabbis. A braita teaches that only blood fit for sprinkling requires laundering, excluding blood already disqualified. Rabbi Akiva rules that blood which had a moment of fitness and was later disqualified does require laundering, while Rabbi Shimon maintains that disqualified blood never requires it. The Mishna rules that blood splashed from the neck of the animal, or from the altar's corner or base, does not require laundering, nor does blood spilled on the floor and later gathered, since only blood received in a vessel and fit for sprinkling requires laundering. Two braitot are cited to demonstrate how these laws are derived from verses in the Torah. The Gemara further clarifies that the requirement of being "capable of sprinkling" excludes cases where less than the requisite measure was received in each vessel. Rava explains that this principle is rooted in a drasha on the verse in Vayikra 4:6. After presenting several drashot on the different words of that verse, the Gemara analyzes them both in relation to one another - explaining why each was necessary - and in relation to other statements. The Mishna continues with blood splashed on the hide: before flaying it does not require laundering, but after flaying it does. Rabbi Elazar limits laundering to the place of the blood and only where the material is susceptible to impurity. A braita extends laundering obligations to garments, sackcloth, and hides, and specifies that laundering, breaking of earthenware vessels, and rinsing of copper vessels must all be performed in a sacred place. Laundering is a stringency unique to the sin offering compared to other kodshei kodashim.
What if the garment that the blood from a sin-offering sprayed onto was an impure garment? With the phrasing of the question giving away the premise of the sage who asks it. Also, a new mishnah - a list of the animals from which blood would not require laundering if it were absorbed in the kohen's garment. Also, there's a need to have the "right" amount of blood consecrated - a minimum for the sake of the need of laundering - and the question then is how is that known, with the conclusion of Halakhah le-Moshe mi-Sinai. But what proportions are necessary for the water, for the purification process? And how does dipping one's fingers to sprinkle the blood have impact on the need to do so again (more dipping, more sprinkling)? Plus, another mishnah: On the gathering of the blood and the impact of that on the need for laundering.

Ghislaine Maxwell's family released a new statement in response to the Department of Justice's announcement that it is closing its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators. In it, they expressed “relief” that the probe has ended and argued that it validates their long-standing claim that Ghislaine was unfairly targeted and scapegoated. The family asserted that Ghislaine was prosecuted simply because of her association with Epstein, implying that her conviction was more about public pressure than actual culpability. They continue to frame her as a victim of circumstance, not a willing participant in the crimes for which she was convicted.The statement reads less like a defense and more like a soft relaunch of Ghislaine's image—an attempt to reframe her legacy as unjustly ruined rather than rightly condemned. By invoking the DOJ's decision as supposed proof of her innocence, the Maxwell family is working to erase the mountain of evidence, the survivor testimony, and the jury's unanimous verdict that put her in prison. It's a bold move—one that deliberately ignores the reality of what she did and who she helped.

In this powerful, deeply personal interview, Tanc walks us through a life shaped by gang culture, prison time, cartel connections, near-death situations, and ultimately—transformation. From his early days in the California state system to navigating the dangerous world of cross-border drug trafficking, he breaks down how major operations moved product from Peru and Mexico into the U.S., what it was like coordinating “jumps” across the border, why warehouses sat full of hundreds of untouched bricks, and the razor-thin line between survival and disaster. He also opens up about fatherhood changing his mindset, the struggle to find legitimate work after prison, facing racism while trying to re-enter society, and how community college became the unlikely start of a new path. This episode dives into: -His final state bid and what made him leave gang life behind -How he became involved with high-level cartel operators -The logistics behind massive cross-border drug shipments -The paranoia, betrayals, and close calls that come with the lifestyle -The moment he knew the feds were closing in -How education and family pulled him toward a different life Go Support Tanc!

Fentanyl Cash Laundering and the Role of Chinese Nationals. Josh Birenbaum (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) discusses with John Batchelor the challenge of laundering the enormous amounts of cash generated by fentanyl drug smugglers and drug lords. This multibillion-dollar process often utilizes Chinese nationals residing in the United States. Because of capital controls imposed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), diaspora populations use internet chat rooms and WeChat to find opportunities to access dollars. Drug cartels capitalize on this by giving the Chinese nationals money to spend lavishly, thus laundering the drug cash. While these individuals may know they are circumventing CCP controls, they usually do not know the illegal origin of the funds which ultimately finance the cartels.
While many celebrate the bombing of boats in the Caribbean, that may or may not be affiliated with drug trafficking, others condemn it for political reasons. What both arguments failed to realize is that major banking institutions across the United States, and across the world, are the biggest drug money laundering institutions. What is happening in the Caribbean is more akin to smoke and mirrors. From Chinese cartels to Mexican cartels, banks in Europe in the United States, launder much of the money. For Iran-Contra alone, we learned that the US government will illegally moves drugs, guns, and humans across borders for purposes that circumvent Congress. Threats of using the US military in Venezuela strike of decades of regime change operations in that part of the world for natural resources and to the benefit of multinational corporations. Venezuela has virtually nothing to do with the fentanyl drug trade, and very little to do even with the cocaine drug trade. Mexico is the central source of fentanyl distribution, largely from China, and yet Venezuela is the target of the US military. Companies like Teva pharmaceuticals, located in Israel, should be at the forefront of these discussions, too, considering that it is one of the primary contributors to the opioid crisis in the United States. But we leave the banks that launder the money out of the equation, just as we leave pharmaceutical companies that contribute to drug problems out of the equation, just as we neglect to address cultural issues that contribute to drug disease plagugin our country. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Russia & Kazakhstan: Alleged laundering at Trump SoHo. Craig Unger, author
Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – What truly stands out is not tourism development or hotel investments, but the CCP's systematic gray-zone warfare against America's “Second Island Chain.” These activities are not ordinary business ventures, but carefully premeditated moves designed to be transformed into military assets at any moment — an approach that vividly reflects the CCP's...
In this incisive conversation, Breht welcomes poet, scholar, and organizer, filmmaker, and host of the Black Myths Podcast Too Black back to the podcast to critically examine the recent attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Anchored by the penetrating analysis in Too Black and Rasul Mowatt's article, "Bootleg Rehab: Still Laundering Black Rage," this episode dissects DEI as a capitalist pacification strategy, historically rooted in reaction to radical Black movements and inherently limited in delivering meaningful change. Too Black articulates how DEI serves capitalist interests by redirecting genuine Black rage into symbolic, surface-level victories that do little to alter the underlying structures of oppression. Together, they explore DEI's historical development, its market-friendly evolution under Nixon, and its role in creating internal class contradictions within oppressed communities. Through the powerful analogy of a "bootleg rehab," Too Black vividly illustrates how superficial reforms pacify demands for revolutionary change without addressing systemic injustices like police violence, economic deprivation, and racialized exploitation. They also unpack the dialectical relationship between DEI initiatives and reactionary anti-DEI backlash, showing how both reinforce capitalist stability and deepen racial and class divides. Finally, Too Black outlines practical approaches for organizers to bypass capitalist traps, emphasizing the need for movements grounded in materialist analysis and authentic community needs. This essential discussion equips listeners with critical insights to recognize, resist, and transcend the limitations of DEI, advancing a revolutionary politics that refuses to settle for symbolic concessions in the face of real suffering.
