Swindle...

Federal authorities have charged four U.S. citizens and foreign nationals for swindling unsuspecting Americans out of millions of dollars through websites such as eBay and Craigslist.

In all, 16 foreign nationals have been charged, and 12 of them have already been arrested and extradited to the United States.

They used fabricated stories to persuade victims to send them money overseas. At one point claiming to be a member of the U.S. military who was being deployed overseas and needed to sell his car quickly.

The scheme also used stolen identities of Americans to communicate with victims, and it used forged documents bearing markings from reputable companies to appear legitimate.

Much of the money taken from American victims was ultimately laundered through cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Enquire..

In a stunning post on Medium Thursday, Jeff Bezos publicly accused the National Enquirer of a blackmail and extortion plot involving compromising photographs. Bezos alleges the National Enquirer was attempting to blackmail and extort him using "intimate" photos.

Bezos, in the Medium posting, said that the Enquirer offered not to publish the photos in exchange for a public statement from Bezos that the Enquirer's reporting was not politically motivated.

Of course I don't want personal photos published, but I also won’t participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favors, political attacks, and corruption. I prefer to stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out," Bezos said in his post. 

Change...

Ford is sinking $1 billion and adding more jobs to plants in the Chicago area to expand production of the  Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator sport utility vehicles.

The expansion comes as the automaker makes cuts overseas and shifts its lineup to make more SUVs, crossover-utility vehicles and trucks and away from sedans.

The move will add 500 jobs at Ford's Chicago-area Assembly and Stamping plants, bringing the total number of employees at the two factories to 5,800.

Ford is building a new body shop and paint shop at the assembly plants and plans to make major changes to the final assembly area. The company also plans to install some new manufacturing technology, including 3D-printing tools and robots.

Ford is undergoing an $11 billion restructuring that will shrink its salaried workforce of 70,000. It is also cutting thousands of jobs in Europe, where Ford has struggled to maintain solid footing.

An American Airlines pilot has been arrested at Britain's Manchester Airport on suspicion of being drunk.

Officers arrested a 62-year-old man just before 11 a.m. on suspicion of performing an aviation function while over the prescribed alcohol limit.

American Airlines confirmed that a member of its aircrew was detained at the airport. It said the flight, AA735 to Philadelphia, was canceled and passengers rebooked on other flights.

The airline "safety is our highest priority," and that it is "fully cooperating with local law enforcement" over the incident.

Gone...

The men who emerge from the Islamic State’s last sliver of land are ordered to sit behind one of two orange lines spray-painted on the rocky desert floor: Syrians behind one and Iraqis behind the other.

The women, wearing face-covering veils and clutching toddlers, huddle in a different spot, also separated by nationality.

By midmorning, United States Special Operations Forces arrive in a convoy of armored vehicles. The men suspected of being Islamic State fighters are searched by troops and a sniffer dog. Then they are fingerprinted, photographed and interviewed.

That state is all but gone. The militants are now trapped in an area about the size of Central Park surrounded by all different forces.

As the noose has tightened, even those who joined the caliphate in its earliest days are trying to save themselves.

Most of those who have made it to this spot in the desert in recent days are the families of the militants their multiple wives and numerous children with only a small number of locals originally from the area mixed in, Kurdish officials said.

Large numbers of the escapees are foreigners, Germans, French, Britons, Swedes and Russians, a testament to the group’s broad appeal, which lured some 40,000 recruits from 100 countries to its nascent state.

Truth Telling...

Elizabeth Warren was a law professor at the University of Texas when she filled out a form from the state bar about her race. Her answer, printed in careful block letters: “American Indian.”

Through much of her life and legal career, she claimed to be Native American despite being white.

After the bar registration card was published by The Washington Post, Warren faced new doubts about her viability in the presidential race, as activists and strategists evaluated how much damage the issue might do  especially given Democrats’ focus on finding a candidate who can defeat President Trump and what she might do to move past it.

Liberal activists have long described cultural appropriation as hurtful, since someone is assuming the identity of a group without having faced the suffering or discrimination that group endured. The question is whether Democratic primary voters will punish Warren for actions for which she has apologized.

The matter now threatens to overshadow the image Warren has sought to foster of a truth-telling consumer advocate who would campaign for the White House as a champion for the working class. Instead, she is now seeking to combat the portrait of someone who for years was insufficiently sensitive to a long-oppressed minority. The matter also is arising at a time when issues of racial and cultural identity are increasingly sensitive in the Democratic Party.
