I don't live in London, England but even I'm tempted to buy a subscription. Great writing, great cliff hanger, intriguing. I won't ever know the rest of the story but I hope it doesn't disappoint.
I think this is the weirdest story I've ever reported. www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...
The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman
Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

• accessed undisclosed vulns in BIG-IP
• DOJ allowed F5 to delay public notice citing national security

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

So important. They fired people working on Ebola in Africa tonight. The people who track and investigate and report on disease outbreaks. The CDC prior to the first Trump administration was the global gold standard... but the ideologues can't stand it.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
