Big win: U.S. and African partners just dealt a massive blow to transnational scam networks in West Africa. We are actively dismantling the China-linked criminals behind global crypto fraud, human trafficking, and financial schemes targeting Americans and Africans.

The more this case blows open the worse the stench of the rot of corruption gets. If Manchester City and this ownership group aren’t punished then I fear the EPL will never recover.

It is understood Manchester City will seek to prove their innocence by arguing that their sponsorship deals were part funded by the Abu Dhabi government rather than the Abu Dhabi United Group, the club’s owners. City claim they have bank statements and witness accounts to support what they believe is “irrefutable evidence” to support their position. @TelegraphDucker has more ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

‼️ Russia planned to attack Spain, France, and Italy using Gerbera drones launched from container ships in the Mediterranean. It is believed that this triggered CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow last month to warn Russia against this attack.

Had a great time as part of a fireside chat with @hootsuite in Cologne yesterday. Was good hear about Hootsuite’s advances in AI for social intelligence and share some of my thoughts about how to best use data and social intelligence to guide our operations.
