Lutnick is such a 💩

Peer-to-peer convertible virtual currency exchange Paxful has shuttered, but FinCEN this week released a $3.5 million penalty assessment for egregious AML/CFT failures. www.fincen.gov/news/news-re...

Or you bastards could stop sending your people to die in Ukrainian fields. Just an idea.

I… speechless.

And it is doubly ironic that Trump has completely destroyed any idea that he will "faithfully execute the laws" (see: torching the U.S.'s new laws about shell company transparency).

So sanctioning a transnational network that recruits former Colombian military personnel and trains soldiers, including children, to fight for the Sudanese paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is good. But Russians smuggling fighters from… home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

Duarte, who governed the state of northern border state for the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party from 2010 to 2016, is accused of helping divert more than 96 million pesos, the then-equivalent of $6.5 million, from the government between 2011 and 2014. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Breaking News: Honduras has issued an international arrest warrant for its former president who was recently pardoned by President Trump.

🛳️ A shipment of Russian oil from US-sanctioned Rosneft has made its way to Chinese waters after a long, meandering journey that involved tanker transfer off India and stop near South Korea, - Bloomberg Fortis, carrying the cargo of around 700,000 barrels, anchored off Rizhao port.

Oooooh!

THE BOAT WAS HEADED TO SURINAME, NOT THE US, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS.

Bart De Wever is a disgusting coward.

OMG what the hell is wrong with people???

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

Trump and his cronies have made the US weaker than it has been in decades. Putin's orders? "The politicization and hollowing out of America’s diplomatic capability endanger our global leadership and, as a consequence, our national security" open.substack.com/pub/steadyst...

I see it as the corrupt paws of FIFA officials trying to grab as much of the world’s resources and money as they can.

Shipping containers sent by Noboa Trading Co. have been caught up in huge drug shipments sent from Ecuador to the Balkans. Among those handling this cocaine when it reached Europe was a drug trafficking group allegedly led by convicted drug lord Darko Šarić. www.occrp.org/en/project/t...

These two apparently compromised data from multiple federal agencies including the DHS, IRS, and the EEOC. Authorities did not name the federal government contractor, but the company was previously identified as Washington-based Opexus by Bloomberg cyberscoop.com/muneeb-sohai...

Sure. He’s getting “tough” on Russia. OFAC yesterday suspended until at least April 29 sanctions against Lukoil-branded gas stations outside of Russia. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The network is also linked to drug trafficking in Sweden and across the Nordic region. www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/...

The EU will blacklist Russia as an AML/CFT risk. The decision means that banks and other financial firms will have to enhance checks on all transactions involving Russia and mitigate their exposure to these risks. www.politico.eu/article/the-...

Polish prosecutors have filed charges against eight additional suspects linked to a Russian-backed spy and sabotage network dismantled two years ago.

So they’re just going to continue murdering and torturing civilians and stealing and trafficking children in the meantime?

By trying to force Ukraine to give away its territory to Russian aggressors and limiting their national security options? Right. 🙄

The look on Rubio’s face! 😂😂😂😂😂

“On Monday evening, Hegseth wrote a social-media post that said that the Sept. 2 attacks were Bradley’s decisions.” Gee. Throwing Bradley under the bus, while denying he issued the order to “kill them all.” How… unexpected. /sarc www.wsj.com/politics/whi...

We should point out the irony here. Trump announced just days ago he would begin stopping drug traffickers in Venezuela “by land,” and yesterday, he promised to pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez—who’s serving 45 years in prison for working with El Chapo to smuggle 400+ tons of cocaine into the US.

Shooting victims were down 15% in November in Gun Violence Archive data compared to November 2024. That marks 30 straight months (and 37 of the last 39 months) of falling gun violence in the United States per GVA data.

This is the kind of scum he’s releasing from prison. Gentile defrauded 10,000 investors by misrepresenting the performance of the funds and the source of money used to make monthly distribution payments. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

My assessment is that the United States will continue its attempts to pressure Ukraine to accept Russian terms.

As part of the US-synchronized package, Ukraine sanctioned 26 Russian legal entities linked to the energy sector. I’m shocked this hadn’t happened sooner. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/ukraine...

Darn. What a pity. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/sanctio...

Russia is pure evil. Georgia, Ukraine, always destroying places and people. Europe needs to take the money instead of obsessing about it. Take it out of Trumps hands

An oil tanker exploded in the Black Sea,north of the Bosporus Strait.It was probably a tanker of the Russian shadow fleet.Thereʼre reports that it’s under EU&US sanctions The tanker was headed to Russia's Novorossiysk under the flag of Gambia without any cargo.The 25 crew members on board are alive

Authoritarians don’t just target opponents. They discipline their own side when blind loyalty isn’t given. Patel’s team threatened Massie’s staff with a criminal investigation if they didn’t “straighten up and play ball.”

Vance’s framing quietly smuggles in a false premise. He suggests that if an order has a “clear mission,” “is something hard,” or is “for a very good reason,” that makes it legal. But legality is not determined by clarity, difficulty, or claimed necessity. Only by law.

Like Iran and Russia, Venezuela needed to receive oil payments from China outside the reach of Western regulators. Transacting with cryptocurrencies is one such evasion method, which North Korea has used in the past to launder the proceeds of cybercrime. www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at...

South African police say they are investigating allegations that former President Jacob Zuma’s daughter lured 17 men into fighting in Russia's war with Ukraine without their consent abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

The United States and U.K. froze many assets of the “Prince Group Transnational Criminal Organization.” But one man sanctioned as an alleged associate has amassed properties and companies using a different identity. Chen Xiao’er is actually an alias for Wu An Ming. www.occrp.org/en/scoop/how...

So the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was just picked up by ICE.
