A transnational investigation into cryptocurrency "pig-butchering" schemes netted more than 275 arrests, including six people who are now facing charges in San Diego.

The Department of Justice announced April 29 that at least 276 people allegedly connected to cryptocurrency fraud schemes were arrested, and "at least nine scam centers" used to facilitate the operations had been dismantled. The schemes reportedly syphoned millions of dollars from Americans' bank accounts.

Americans lost a record $15.9 billion to scams in 2025, FTC says

Six of the individuals arrested are facing federal fraud and money laundering charges in the Southern District of California. Four were identified as Thet Min Nyi, 27, of Myanmar; and Indonesian nationals Wiliang Awang, 23; Andreas Chandra, 29; and Lisa Mariam, 29. Two other unidentified individuals currently on the run are also facing charges.

A Democrat running to become Florida's next governor was arrested after he beat up two elderly people and threatened to kill them, police say.

Cichowski is listed as a Democratic candidate for governor with the Florida Division of Elections and previously ran for Palm Coast mayor in 2021.

Police received a report Friday morning that Cichowski had allegedly battered two elderly victims, believed to be his parents, inside their Palm Coast home.

He allegedly hit one with a cane and threw a cellphone at the other. Police also said he had a gun.  Just a thought.

Diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease are closely linked through shared biological mechanisms, leading some researchers to unofficially refer to Alzheimer's as "Type 3 diabetes". Research indicates that having type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk—by approximately 50% to 100%—of developing Alzheimer's. 

The connection between these conditions is primarily driven by how the body and brain handle insulin and glucose: 

 Just as body tissues can become resistant to insulin in type 2 diabetes, brain cells can also lose their sensitivity to the hormone. This "brain diabetes" impairs the ability of neurons to use glucose for energy, which can lead to cell dysfunction and death.

• Insulin resistance is linked to the build-up of amyloid-beta and tau proteins, the hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s. Insulin and amyloid-beta are both broken down by the same enzyme (IDE); when insulin levels are too high, the enzyme is "distracted" by insulin, allowing toxic amyloid to accumulate.
•  Chronic high blood sugar damages both large and small blood vessels. In the brain, this reduced blood flow can starve cells of oxygen and essential nutrients, contributing to cognitive decline.
•  High blood sugar triggers chronic inflammation throughout the body and brain, which can damage brain cells and accelerate the progression of dementia.
