.@AAGMcDonald gives an update on Operation Ghostbusters, a nationwide investigation into federal student loan fraud:
"Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme, and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals... Whether you’re in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you and bring you to justice. The American people deserve better than ghost students, fake applications, and stolen aid."

❗ Massive scandal.
🚨 US Department of Justice (DOJ) National Fraud Enforcement Division just announced Operation Ghostbusters indictments targeting a nationwide “ghost student” scam tied to a Kenyan network.
Criminals stole identities of Americans who never attended college, submitted fake FAFSA applications, enrolled phantom students, and diverted leftover federal aid funds overseas after colleges took their cut.
Five defendants charged so far, more than $750,000 in crypto seized, and a team is now on the ground in Kenya. Running since 2021, it has likely cost taxpayers hundreds of millions while blocking aid for real students.

Nine Christians were killed in Jordan and at least 60 more in Ethiopia over the past week. The two separate massacres in the Middle East and Africa underscore the dangers Christians worldwide face because of their faith.
In Jordan, gunmen opened fire on Christian mourners inside a church, killing nine people and wounding around 40 others.
In Ethiopia, attackers went from house to house, killing 60 Christians with guns and knives, destroying their homes.
The attacks come as Christians in the United States and around the world prepare to gather this Sunday for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, to pray for believers facing persecution because of their faith.

Literature remains undefeated. What Ruto is doing with Talanta stadium is exactly what Mr Tumbo did in Betrayal in the city and also what Meya Majoka did in Kigogo. Organize grand events at high costs while failing to address the basic grievances of the local people
