17 in Miami.

Today, the Department of Justice has dealt a significant blow to the crypto crime ecosystem, General Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General, via statement .

U.S. officials allege that the crypto exchange processed over $700 million in illegal funds by not having a proper anti-money laundering program in place.

The Justice Department and Treasury Department officials also allege that Bitzlato was aware of some of this criminal activity.

Bitzlato was particularly active in facilitating illicit activity, but it is ultimately part of a larger, larger ecosystem of cyber criminals that are allowed to operate with impunity within Russia, Wally Adeyemo, Deputy Treasury Secretary, via statement.

'The Hill' reports that a large part of the criminal complaint centers on Bitzlato's relationship with a Russian-based darknet market known as Hyrda Marketplace.

According to the complaint, a "substantial portion" of the crypto billions Hydra received came from Bitzlato wallets.

'The Hill' reports that Legkodymov resides in China.

It's not clear why he was in Miami

"Money Is Pouring In" Trump Boasts Tariff Revenue but Is $2 Billion A Day Even Real? [Video]

"Money Is Pouring In" Trump Boasts Tariff Revenue but Is $2 Billion A Day Even Real?

President Trump claims tariffs are bringing in $2 billion a day to the U.S. Treasury, calling it a "huge win" for America. Speaking at a White House event, he boasted that countries are lining up to cut deals. However, no data supports his staggering figure—Treasury records show an average of just $200 million per day. Critics and analysts remain skeptical, pointing to exaggerated numbers and rising consumer costs. As the trade war escalates, economic uncertainty looms and Americans may be the ones paying the price. #Trump #Tariffs #TradeWar #USTreasury #EconomicClaims #WhiteHouse #GlobalTrade #USPolitics #BreakingNews #CustomsRevenue #ChinaTrade #USChinaTensions #TradeDeal #ConsumerPrices #TariffImpact #EconomicPolicy #TrumpSpeech #TariffRevenue #AmericaFirst #FactCheck #GlobalMarkets #TrumpEconomy #USCustoms #Skepticism #InflationAlert #TradeUpdate #TariffDebate #CustomsDuties #TrumpQuotes #EconomicReality #BusinessNews Also Read Trump Mocks Countries Hit By US Tariffs: 'Kissing my A**, Dying To Make Deal' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-mocks-countries-hit-by-us-tariffs-kissing-my-a-dying-to-make-deal-4118993.html?ref=DMDesc ‘The President Is Elon’s Nanny’: Viral Video Of President Donald Trump Walking With Musk’s Son Sparks Buzz :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-president-is-elon-s-nanny-viral-video-of-president-donald-trump-walking-with-musk-s-son-spark-4118929.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Targets Pharma Imports In Fresh Tariff Drive, India Likely To Face Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-targets-pharma-imports-in-fresh-tariff-drive-india-likely-to-face-heat-4118887.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.344~HT.408~

DOJ Asks Death Penalty For Mangione Over Healthcare CEO Murder | “Political Resistance Act” Alleged

Federal prosecutors will pursue the death penalty if Luigi Mangione is convicted of Murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione is accused of killing the executive to send a political message and ignite widespread opposition to the healthcare industry. The DOJ has filed a formal “notice of intent to seek the death penalty,” backed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Prosecutors say Mangione deliberately targeted a high-profile victim to maximize impact. His defense calls the government’s move “barbaric” and politically motivated.
