2024's stats in fraud losses:
- $630 million, Canada. (Vellani)
- $12.5 billion, United States. (Federal Trade Commission)
- £570 million, the UK. In only SIX MONTHS. (UK Finance)
Mind you, this is just REPORTED loss. Many victims are shamed into silence or are still being scammed.

So as of last November, Singapore is the only country that has scamming punishable by caning. It's not the only crime that allows for that sentence, but for the other crimes that allow it, the criminal can choose to be caned; if you're convicted of scamming, you don't actually GET that choice.

Thinking how to get in on booksky
I’ve got some opinions and takes but there’s 300 words and I’m not good at being laconic
I might start with a best of 2025 thread, worst of, and things I’m currently still reading that are exciting. Maybe a separate manga category.
I don’t know, we’ll see.

Aight so this is going to be a little different compared to my other social medias since I've already been thinking of rebranding the general online "self" I've been projecting for a while
Not that I regret anything but Vim represents an older era and online presence. AADI is a bit new.
