I'm dealing with my dying mother's financials. After years of giving her money every month for food and utilities, I've just discovered she's been donating thousands of dollars each year to a few viable charities and even more GOP PACs that she believed were charities helping veterans and young people in need. She's a Democrat. She had no idea what she was giving her money to and now I'm having to undo all of those automated debits. Check on your elder parents. Someone is probably scamming them.
Dear #media… please take a look at this thread. This is a story. So many seniors are being scammed out of their life savings. Look at the #reporting of scammers defrauding seniors on just this thread.
What is being done to protect them? Seems like a reasonable question deserving of some answers from our lawmakers and law enforcement.
CNN Exclusive: Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican whose astonishing pattern of lies, fraud and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
BREAKING: 8 fraudulent electors in Georgia have accepted an immunity deal from Fani Willis.
Eight of the 16 Trump fake electors in Georgia have accepted immunity deals in the Fulton County DA investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, per new filing from their lawyer.
Person with obligation to comply with gift tax law is the donor not the recipient. If it's a bribe done to influence an official act it is income to the recipient and not a gift. Did Crow file forms 702 annually for "gifts" over annual exclusion ranging from 10k to 16k in 2022?
Can we stop wondering why Harland Crow was funneling wealth to a SCOTUS justice who was ruling in his favor on every case that reached him? Let's focus on the SCOTUS cases and the payments or gifts and see if they show a pattern that evidences that they were a quid pro quo.
Nothing in the Constitution requires Thomas be impeached before he can be charged for bribery. Crow should be teed up for the grand jury once the investigation of his secret payments has been completed and shows any evidence that could support a bribery conviction.
Drill down on #Crow and make him an offer he can't refuse: Testify against #Thomas or spend 10 years in a federal prison.

When does the stench get bad enough that SCOTUS stops the cover-up and ends the corruption? This is on the Chief Justice to solve, plain and simple. Mom’s rent, family tuition, vacations and gifts — and secret? Any other government employee would be fired.
Again, Drill down on #Crow and make him an offer he can't refuse: Testify against #Thomas or spend 10 years in a federal prison.
How the hell can you defend Clarence “Coke Can” Thomas and these #SCOTUSBribes? The ethically bankrupt Clarence, along with sexual predator Brett have destroyed the Supreme Court’s reputation and standing in the world.
I got burned by this guy, David Smillie of #BritishColumbia. #Squamish, BC I believe. Luckily it was a small amount for me, but I've connected to people who claim they've lost over $100,000! Now it looks like he's earned a charge for securities fraud in the amount of $13 million CAD. #EzBTC#BitCoin#CryptoCurrency#fraud

David Rosenthal (aka DSHR): "To sum up, permissionless #blockchain technology is clever, but the economics of applying it to the real world are stupid for the reasons I published nearly 9 years ago. Centralization in the information ecosystem is a very serious problem, but it is driven by economics, not technology. So attempting to solve it with technology with inherent economies of scale is futile." https://blog.dshr.org/2023/04/crypto-my-part-in-its-downfall.html#cryptocurrency#bitcoin#fraud#decentralization

fraudster and notorious liar tucker carlson FIRED! Two possible reasons: He's a special counsel target or the insurers who have to shell out for Fox in suits refused to cover future claims related to his lies. Watch if he goes quiet.
Fox propaganda, How was tucker getting his daily Kremlin talking points? If he or his staff were getting them from someone connected to the Kremlin, those communications could be subject to 702 FISA collections directed at the source without a FISA Court order directed at Carlson.
LA Times: Notorious liar Carlson's exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer Fox fired last month.
Carlson's senior executive producer Justin Wells has also been terminated, according to people familiar with the matter.
Russian agent Boris Epshteyn to be questioned for 2nd day by special counsel: Sources So that likely means he's being interviewed to avoid a grand jury appearance. It almost seems like he's doing a "Queen for a Day" interview.
I'm going to watch all the usual suspects closely. See who goes dark. With the grand jury seeming like it's getting close to the end of the line, I'm not going to be surprised if they charge soon. Smith may have gone to to the interview to assess how
Epshteyn retroactively claimed he was criminal suspect donald's lawyer when he was a campaign advisor. Back date the docs you criminal.

Cocaine Jr has gone quiet today after a long Tweet storm of multiple posts daily. He was my contemporaneous pick for who accompanied Boris Epshteyn to Prague. The Steele dossier assumed it was Michael Cohen. I thought it was Epshteyn and that Don Jr would have accompanied him.
Cocaine jr. speaks Czech. My guess is that they have a ton of intelligence on Epshteyn and I'm also guessing that whatever #45 was planning to do with the stolen top secrets it involved the Russians and Boris got involved. If so, he's looking at life for espionage.
That would get him to take an invitation to save himself by telling Jack all his darkest secrets.
Don Jr. deserves watching. I think they got his mother who was getting talky. Epshteyn may be able to dance through the rain drops but Don Jr. going through a Cocaine withdrawal possibly in the lock up could be too unpredictable for the Kremlin to take a chance.
So, in the last election there were only 6 cases of electoral #fraud (#MattHancock has reluctantly admitted). This from a #voting population of over 45M
You'll be aware of the number of cases of fraud by #Tory MPs (from a population of 355) exceeds this in nominal terms & is vastly larger in proportional terms.
So, let be clear, #voterID is about voter suppression not fraud.
If the #Tories were interested in #democratic fraud they'd put their own house in order.
🆕 blog! “Who can tell you what to do with your money?”
There's an incredibly distressing story in the BBC about a vulnerable elderly man who was conned out of his life savings. Fraud victim gets surprise £153,000 refund despite rules BBC News In the story, the heartless bank refused to refund the fraud victim due to an absurd technicality - the money was sent to…
It just seems that the #crypto products are major targets for #scammers and #fraud that having to deal with having to deal with hacked #apps is just the kind of thing that honest users don't need.
Fortunately this isn't a story where #BitKeep did anything wrong - but hopefully the trace the origin of the bad apps. There needs to be something done to protect their customers.
