By Fabio Teixeira and Ricardo Brito RIO DE JANEIRO/BRASILIA, June 12 (Reuters) – Brazilian refineries sold over 100 million liters of naphtha to a firm investigated in ⁠an ⁠alleged fraud scheme involving a criminal gang designated by the U.S. as a terrorist ⁠organization, according to a person close to the matter and documents seen by Reuters.

The ongoing investigation into Petrodansk and its supply chain highlights the risks ‌for major players in Brazil’s vast energy sector from a new U.S. policy to crack down on the gang and its suspected sources of income. The United States designated the PCC a Foreign Terrorist …

John Bolton To Plead Guilty In Documents Case, Pay $2M Fine: Report

Published by Jenni Sidey

John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors and is expected to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, according to CNN, citing three sources familiar with the matter. Under the agreement, Bolton will pay a fine of more than $2 million. A single count of illegal retention carries a possible sentence of up to 60 months in prison. A court hearing is currently scheduled for June 26. Bolton was originally charged in Maryland with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and ten counts of retention of national defense information. The charges centered on diary-like entries from his time in the Trump White House that were allegedly kept at his residence. Prosecutors accused him of sharing more than 1,000 pages of information through his personal email with two unauthorized individuals – reportedly his wife and daughter – though these transmission allegations are not part of the plea deal.

US prosecutors allege shipping veteran Teo Siong Seng told others to ‘keep low key’ in price-fixing conspiracy: Court documents

Published by Sam Flores

ALLEGED TIMELINE OF EVENTS US prosecutors said in an unsealed indictment that several of the alleged conspirators had begun discussing the scheme as early as March 2019. On or about Nov 14 that year, CIMC, Dong Fang, CXIC and another unnamed co-conspirator had met at CIMC’s headquarters in China to restrict their output of standard dry shipping containers. The goal of this was to raise the price of standard dry shipping containers, said the prosecution. A week later, an executive of Singamas emailed Mr Teo stating that Dong Fang’s general manager, Mr Li, had called for all six factories to meet. On Dec 5 that year, the Singamas executive updated Mr Teo that he had gone for the meeting two days earlier.  He stated that the companies discussed limiting the number of shifts and hours that each production line for standard dry containers could run per day, building no additional new production line, installing closed-circuit television (CCTV), and having each factory submit a deposit that would be deducted if anyone broke the agreement.

I tried a file search tool that actually searches inside documents — it changed how I work

I tried a file search tool that actually searches inside documents — it changed how I work

Published by skeptic

I like to think I’m fairly organized. I use folders within folders, descriptive filenames, and sometimes even date prefixes when I’m feeling particularly disciplined. For the most part, the system works. Or at least it did until I needed to find something I’d written about eighteen months earlier, a document I could only remember through one stray half-sentence buried somewhere in the middle of it. Despite applying a few simple tweaks that make Windows search better without replacing it, I got nothing useful. I suspect Spotlight on a Mac would’ve reacted with the same indifference. I spent twenty minutes (it could have been more) opening files one by one before giving up entirely. The file was definitely on my computer somewhere, but functionally, it might as well have vanished into the ether. It was that experience, repeated often enough, that sent me down a rabbit hole, and what I found at the end was DocFetcher. It’s free, it’s open source, and it searches inside your files, not just in them. Related How to Find Anything …
