  + stars: | 2024-02-13 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Ian Freeman outside of the federal courthouse in Concord, New Hampshire, in April 2023. Prosecutors said that he laundered proceeds of scams by exchanging dollars for the popular cryptocurrency, charging "exorbitant fees" in the process. Freeman earned more than $1 million through his business, which he had not registered as legally required with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, prosecutors said. "Freeman instructed bitcoin customers, who were often victims of scams, to lie to the financial institutions and describe their deposits as church donations. From 2016 to 2019, he paid no taxes, and concealed his income from the Internal Revenue Service," the office said.

“It is necessary to conduct this operation unilaterally and without notifying Venezuelan officials,” reads the 15-page 2018 memo expanding “Operation Money Badger,” an investigation that authorities say targeted dozens of people, including Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Within weeks, senior DEA officials plotted to deploy at least three undercover informants to surreptitiously record top officials suspected of converting Venezuela into a narco state. And “to limit or mitigate the exposure of the unilateral activities,” the document advised DEA officials to protect their informants and curtail in-person meetings with targets. I think they figured they had nothing to lose.”RELEASED BY ACCIDENTThe Operation Money Badger memo was never intended to be made public. The DEA memo authorized three informants to secretly record undercover meetings with the targets.

Scott Brauer for The Wall Street JournalSo it turns out that of the two largest crypto exchanges, one was a fraud and the other was a money launderer. Whoever could have guessed? Skeptics of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have had their prejudices reinforced. The two main use cases—fraud and crime—have been exposed to the public in dramatic fashion, so now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the inevitable collapse in value.

☆ I make $5,000 a month washing people's clothes on SudShare — here's how
  + stars: | 2021-12-07 | by ( Lauryn Haas | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Before I found out about SudShare, I drove for ride-hailing companies like Uber and cleaned houses with different companies. As a Sudster, I started earning between $600 to $700 a week at the beginning, then more clients started placing orders. On a good day, bags are from $55 to $60, sometimes upward of $120, as it's $1 per pound of clothes. When folding clothes, I don't fold all of them at the same time but rather separate the loads by clients. Usually if I pick up a lot of clothes, I don't deliver them the same day, but I deliver them all by the next morning.
