Cryptocurrency giant Tether is wildly profitable. Can it do more to stop financial crime? We examined a single crypto wallet address that moved more than $1.4 billion in Tether tokens over a matter of weeks and the wake of destruction it left: www.icij.org/investigatio... @icij.org

In the FBI, we learn about gang tattoos and symbols. 88 turns out to be a REALLY common tattoo on Neo Nazis.
Sometimes as 14/88 or 88/14.

If you want to know why this is happening, as someone who literally used to read Al Qaeda's communications for a living I can only come up with one reason: Trump *wants* to provoke another 9/11.

Investigators found two letters inside the rented Tesla Cybertruck that Green Beret Master Sergeant Livelsberger exploded outside the Las Vegas Trump hotel on Jan. 1rst. It appears that Livelsberger wrote them to explain why he was performing what he called “a stunt with fireworks and explosives.”
