Scammer Chinese-Cambodian businessman and former Prince Group chairman Chen Zhi

FBI seizes record $8 billion in cryptocurrency in global crackdown on scam compounds

The FBI has arrested hundreds of suspects and seized more than $8 billion in cryptocurrency, the largest forfeiture in U.S. government history, in a sweeping intercontinental operation targeting organized crime networks that ran fortified scam compounds across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

The crackdown, led by FBI Director Kash Patel, dismantled a web of fraud factories that lured victims through romance schemes, fake cryptocurrency investments, and extortion, all while trafficking migrant workers and forcing them to run the scams under threat of beatings and torture.

At the center of the operation sits 39 year old Chen Zhi, CEO of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group, who now faces federal charges of wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.

Agents confiscated more than 127,000 bitcoin from Chen, a haul Fox News reported could be worth more than $15 billion at the time of seizure, depending on market valuations.

Former high level CIA official arrested--never vetted

A former senior C.I.A. official, David J. Rush, has been arrested after federal investigators say they found a massive stash of valuables inside his Virginia home, including about 303 gold bars, roughly $2 million in cash, and around 35 luxury watches.

Court records say the gold bars weighed about one kilogram each and were valued at more than $40 million, making the seizure one of the most eye-catching federal cases tied to a former intelligence official in recent memory.

According to investigators, Rush is accused of stealing public money after allegedly using false claims about his education, military service, and aviation background to secure government employment and benefits. Federal filings say he claimed hundreds of hours of military leave after being discharged from the Navy Reserve, resulting in about $77,000 in compensation.

Officials also allege he requested large amounts of foreign currency and gold bars from his employer between late 2025 and early 2026 for supposed work-related expenses.

The case has raised major questions because the current charge focuses on alleged public money theft, while the discovery of more than $40 million in gold points to a much larger mystery.

Investigators have not publicly explained the full origin of the gold or whether more charges could follow. Rush remains in custody as the case moves forward in federal court, and prosecutors are expected to keep digging into how a former high-level official allegedly ended up with hundreds of gold bars inside his home.

Who can believe Iran?

Trump Says Iran Has Agreed to No Nuclear Weapons

President Donald Trump said he had secured guarantees from Iran that it would not develop nuclear weapons, as reports emerged he had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Tehran.

Any tweaks to the proposal could prolong even further an agreement to formally end the Middle East war and open the Strait of Hormuz maritime route after weeks of efforts to secure a deal despite fractious rhetoric and the occasional flare up of armed conflict.

The New York Times and Axios media outlets reported on Saturday that Trump had sent back a new framework to be considered by Iran with "tougher" terms, though it was not immediately clear what that entailed.

Trump has said his priorities for any deal include stopping Iran from any nuclear weapon development and re-opening the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has said it requires the release of $12 billion in frozen assets before it moved to substantive talks on issues such as its nuclear program and called earlier Trump comments that its enriched uranium -- a precursor for nuclear weapons -- would be destroyed "baseless," according to Iranian media.

"I'm in no hurry," Trump said. "Slowly but surely we're getting, I think, what we want and if we don't get what we want, we're going to end in a different way."

I think we're all sick of the bull sh!t. President Trump, if you want to end this war in a "different way," just do it.

Not long ago The Capitalist wrote a piece titled “Jill Biden Is the Most Evil Woman of the 21st Century.” Self-explanatory, and they laid out a pretty convincing case.

Jill Biden violated her marriage vows and destroyed a nation for personal gain: a $60million book deal, her degenerate son Hunter’s finger doodles selling for $500,000 to anonymous bidders, her granddaughter’s White House wedding extravaganza… Jill got the ultimate heist and all it took was puppeteering her senile husband.

She got away with it. All of it. But unlike the bad guys in the movies, Jill won’t actually go away, and God almighty I hope it is her ultimate undoing, for "I loath Jill Biden the most evil woman of the 21st century."

Democrat battle over Anti-Weaponization fund

Newsom Pushes 100% Tax On Trump DOJ Payouts As Political Battle Over “Weaponization” Fund Escalates

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is reportedly escalating his latest clash with President Donald Trump by pledging to pursue a 100% tax on any payments Californians receive from the administration’s newly created “anti-weaponization” fund, a controversial program already fueling sharp partisan battles nationwide.

Newsom made the remarks Wednesday while criticizing the Department of Justice initiative, which was established earlier this month after Trump agreed to drop a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service tied to the leaking of his tax returns during his first term in office.

“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we wanna tax 100% of those proceeds,” Newsom said. “And that’s an action the state of California can take. It’s an action we look forward to taking.”

In a social media post accompanying video of his comments, the Democratic governor described the fund as a “slush fund,” further intensifying the already bitter rhetoric surrounding the unprecedented program.

Iran's Violation of sovereignty and security condemned by Kuwait and United Arab Emirates

Iranian missile fired at Americans intercepted, but wreckage still leaves injuries

Even as President Donald Trump is working with his negotiators, who are working with Iran's negotiators, on a plan to turn down the heat from Islamist hostilities in the Middle East, Iran has launched a missile that has injured several Americans.

The ballistic missile was aimed at a U.S. base in Kuwait, and although it was intercepted, the wreckage still rained down, injuring several people.

The New York Post report said the missile was "in retaliation for the American military knocking out Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz."

"This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said in a social media statement.

"All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas. U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression."

Supreme Court left Florida with "nowhere else to go"

Thomas rebukes Supreme Court for refusing Florida's case against states licensing illegal immigrant truckers

Justice Clarence Thomas accused the Supreme Court on Tuesday of abandoning its constitutional duty after the majority refused to hear Florida's lawsuit alleging that California and Washington illegally issued commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants who cannot read English road signs, a policy Thomas linked directly to fatal highway crashes.

Thomas, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, argued the Court had no right to turn the case away. Florida filed its complaint under the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction, the only legal avenue available when one state sues another. By declining to hear it, Thomas wrote in his dissent, the Court left Florida with nowhere else to go.

The case centers on a straightforward claim: federal law requires commercial driver's license applicants to pass a driving test, demonstrate sufficient understanding of English, and show lawful immigration status.

Florida alleged that California and Washington issued CDLs in violation of all three requirements, and that the consequences of those decisions traveled across state lines...An 80,000-pound problem.

Thomas did not mince words about the stakes. In his dissent, he wrote:

"An illegal alien who cannot read English road signs cannot drive an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer."

Lawsuit against Omar's husbands' Badlands Ventures

Federal anti-terror agency allegedly froze funds tied to Ilhan Omar's husband during Biden years

Tim Mynett, the husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), saw investment funds from a marijuana venture allegedly frozen by the Treasury Department's anti-terrorism enforcement arm in 2022, a previously unreported episode that adds another layer to a sprawling pattern of failed businesses, investor lawsuits, and financial mysteries now drawing scrutiny from Congress and federal prosecutors alike.

The claim comes from Mynett's longtime business partner, Will Hailer, who told investors in August 2022 that the Office of Foreign Assets Control had placed a hold on funds they were demanding back from Badlands Ventures, a marijuana investment vehicle the two men co-founded.

OFAC, housed within the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, administers economic sanctions against foreign terrorists and hostile regimes. It does not typically concern itself with domestic marijuana startups.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that it was unable to independently confirm whether OFAC ever placed a hold on any known business entity associated with Mynett and Hailer. The Treasury Department did not return requests for comment.

But investors found Hailer's explanation baffling at the time, and the trail of financial wreckage that followed has only deepened their suspicions.

Angel investors who put $1.683 million into Badlands Ventures sued Hailer when their money didn't come back. Court filings allege that Mynett and Hailer "moved at least some, and perhaps all, of Plaintiffs' $1.683 million out of Badlands Ventures' bank account for purposes other than Badlands Ventures' business."

The lawsuit went further, claiming the pair formed Badlands "with the present intention of stealing and/or misappropriating" investor money.

Hunger Strike at Delaney Hall - Illegals wanted an ethnic menu

Cory Booker Lies About Hunger Strike, DHS Mullin Reveals Illegals Were Demanding Ethnic Food

Democrats have a well-worn routine when it comes to immigration enforcement. Obstruct federal agents at every opportunity. Manufacture confrontations.

Then sprint to the nearest camera and fundraising page, howling about human rights violations that conveniently never hold up to scrutiny. It’s dishonest. It’s calculated. And the American people are catching on.

The latest installment comes courtesy of New Jersey, where a whole circus of Democratic politicians apparently decided that Memorial Day weekend — when most Americans are laying wreaths and remembering the fallen — was prime time to advocate for detained illegal aliens. Priorities, right?

Let’s cut straight to it. Senator Booker told the American public that detainees at Newark’s Delaney Hall facility were on a hunger strike over deplorable conditions. Bold claim. DHS Secretary Mullin didn’t dance around his response: “There is NO hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are no subprime conditions.” He called the entire spectacle “nothing more than a political stunt by New Jersey sanctuary politicians for fundraising clicks.”

So what was actually happening inside Delaney Hall? A handful of detainees were refusing meals because they wanted different food on the menu. Not a hunger strike. Not a human rights crisis. A cafeteria complaint. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.

During a cabinet meeting, Secretary Mullin spelled out the situation and delivered the line that deserves to be framed: “They say that it’s because they’re on a hunger strike… because they want their ethnic right food. Well, they can go back to their country and get whatever food they want… this isn’t Holiday Inn.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul attempted to cast doubt on President Trump's loyalty to the New York Knicks ahead of the NBA Finals. There was just one problem: her own basketball trivia was wrong.

Trump announced during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday that he plans to attend an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, after Knicks owner James Dolan extended a personal invitation. The Knicks are heading to the Finals for the first time since 1999, having swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. For a franchise that hasn't won a championship since 1973, the moment is historic, and the president wants to be there.

Hochul, apparently sensing an opportunity to needle Trump, offered a challenge. "I'd ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does," the governor said.

The jab was meant to test whether Trump is a real fan or a bandwagon rider. But the Knicks didn't win a championship in 1993. The Chicago Bulls did. The Knicks reached the Finals the following year, the 1993, 94 season, and lost to the Houston Rockets. [conservativejournal]

Man jailed on Federal Death Threat charges

Pennsylvania man who announced Senate bid against Fetterman now jailed on federal death-threat charges

A 40-year-old Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, man who declared on YouTube earlier this year that he would challenge Sen. John Fetterman in 2028 is now sitting in a federal jail cell, indicted on five counts of threatening to kill the president, members of Congress, and ICE agents.

Raymond Eugene Chandler III faces up to 50 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines after authorities say he left a string of voicemails on congressional phone lines advocating violence against federal officials and their families.

U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti announced the indictment, which charges Chandler with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against federal officials and federal law enforcement officers by threat.

Each of the five counts carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a $250,000 fine. A judge has ordered Chandler to remain in custody while the case proceeds.

The charges land at a moment when threats against public officials, from both ends of the political spectrum, have become a persistent security concern. But the details alleged in this indictment are unusually specific, and unusually chilling.

Judge Brinkema Blocks DOJ Anti Weaponization Fund

Judge Brinkema Blocks Trump DOJ Anti-Weaponization Fund Payouts

A federal judge has put a temporary stop on the Trump Justice Department’s new Anti-Weaponization Fund, at least for now. That means anyone hoping to get money from the program will have to wait while the court sorts it out.

The ruling came Friday from U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who said the government cannot move forward until after a hearing.

The order blocks the DOJ “from taking any further action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”

A hearing is now set for June 12 in Alexandria, Virginia.

The case was brought by a group of plaintiffs that includes former career prosecutor Andrew Floyd, who says he was fired over his work on Jan. 6 cases. Other plaintiffs include California State University Channel Islands professor Jonathan Caravello, the watchdog group Common Cause, the city of New Haven, Connecticut, and the National Abortion Federation.

Judge Brinkema was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton. Her order keeps the fund on ice while the court reviews the challenge.

Bondi shifted blame to her Deputy

Bondi concedes DOJ made 'redaction errors' in Epstein files, shifts responsibility to her deputy

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi sat for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee on Friday and acknowledged that the Justice Department made "redaction errors" during its release of millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein files, but placed the blame squarely on Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the man who now runs the department she left two months ago.

The admission, delivered in a transcribed but unsworn session that Democrats protested was neither videotaped nor conducted under oath, marks the first time Bondi has publicly conceded specific failures in a process she once promised would bring full transparency to one of the most disturbing sex-trafficking cases in American history.

USA Today reported that Bondi told lawmakers she had delegated oversight of the document review to Blanche and did not personally conduct it.

In her opening statement, she framed the release as "an enormously complicated and labor-intensive process" involving roughly 3 million documents, a stack she once compared to the height of the Eiffel Tower.

The Washington Examiner noted that Bondi told lawmakers she didn't lead every aspect of the Epstein files review, reinforcing her posture of distance from the operational details.

She claimed the DOJ had "produced everything required" by the Epstein Files Transparency Act and that staffers did "our very best in the time frame allotted by the legislation to protect victims."

Kamala Harris didn't wait for the ink to dry

Jill Biden's memoir reveals Harris pushed for endorsement within minutes of Joe's withdrawal

Within moments of Joe Biden telling her he would not seek re-election on July 21, 2024, the vice president pressed him for an immediate endorsement, and when Biden suggested waiting until the next morning, Harris pushed harder, asking him to do it "in 20 minutes," the New York Post reported, citing excerpts from Jill Biden's forthcoming memoir.

The former first lady's account of that conversation, published in her book "View from the East Wing," set for release June 2, paints a picture of a vice president who treated Biden's historic decision not as a moment for reflection but as a starting gun.

And Jill Biden, 74, could not stand to watch. She walked out of the room, "apparently unable to bear any more," the memoir states. The timeline, as Jill Biden tells it, moved fast. Joe Biden informed Harris he would become the first sitting president not to seek re-election since Lyndon Johnson in 1968. Harris's first response, per the memoir: "Oh my God, Joe. Are you sure?"

What followed was not a long discussion about the future of the party or the country. It was a negotiation over timing. Biden proposed waiting until the next morning to issue an endorsement. Harris objected.

Case dismissed of woman with no right hand

Cop stops woman for using cell phone

A traffic citation issued to a woman who said she was accused of holding a phone in a hand she does not have has now been dismissed.

Court records show the case was dropped at the request of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy who issued the citation. A hearing had been scheduled for Tuesday, but it was canceled after prosecutors dismissed the case.

Good thing, as the deputy would have ended up as the laughing stock of Palm Beach County for trying to fulfill his ticket quota.
