In July 2021, the world witnessed Jeff Bezos’ ‘best day ever” as he travelled to space.

Multiple videos appearing to show Black Lives Matter protesters celebrating the shooting and death of a Trump supporter have conservatives concerned about a “hunt” against their lives. Since the clash of a pro-Trump car caravan and counter-protesters in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday night and the subsequent shooting death of a man who is believed to be a Trump supporter, several videos have conservatives on social media calling out the left for what they claim is intentional violence against those who dissent from the current BLM and anti-Trump movements displayed in increasingly violent protests across the country. In one video that starts […]

According to the release, the man went up to one victim and removed an item from their hands before hugging them. The […]

That document, Sputnik reported, revealed the investigation may go far beyond the money trail of “hush payments” given to several women to ensure their silence about past liaisons with Trump, and might include financial crimes such as bank and insurance fraud. “This is […]

Bitfinex’s parent firm, iFinex Inc., is seeking to trace $850 million in user funds seized by authorities in four different countries after bank accounts held by its payment processor, Crypto Capital, were frozen in August 2018. iFinex applied for subpoenas in Colorado, Arizona and Georgia in April, but the U.S. District Court of Georgia recently denied its request due to filing errors. According to a court ruling filed June 8, Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman said the bank iFinex is trying to subpoena merged with another financial […]
Investors remain confident in bitcoin’s long-term prospects despite the cryptocurrency’s struggle to pass $10,000, according to a key on-chain metric.
