BACK IN THE U.S. - Manjit Singh Bedi, one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters, arrested in September in India.

This marks yet another significant moment for the historic FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters program - Bedi is one of six Most Wanted Fraudsters captured since the creation of the new list three months ago – and yet another high value target captured overseas – in a group responsible for a combined over $2 billion in fraud and on the run for almost 4,000 days collectively prior to arrest.

He is charged with defrauding the U.S. of at least $600k in SNAP funds from approximately 2024 to 2025, and now will face justice for his alleged crimes.

Thank you to our outstanding partners for their assistance in this case.

Deaveon Jaquan Brown.
7 prior felony convictions, including armed robbery.
Out of prison for 10 days.

Then a downtown stabbing.

🔹 Brown, 28, is charged with attempted 1st degree murder with a weapon.
🔹 Police say he stabbed Kevin Newhard 4 times in downtown Orlando on Oct. 9. 1 wound hit his liver.
🔹 Kevin is expected to survive.
🔹 OPD says Brown had just gotten out of prison for MDMA possession.
🔹 His record includes armed robbery and felon with a gun.
🔹 Police say Newhard had the knife first and put it on the ground.
🔹 Prosecutors say Brown picked it up, closed 6 to 8 feet and stabbed him while he was down.
🔹 Brown claims self-defense.
🔹 The judge cited the video and doubted that claim. No bond on the attempted murder charge.

Another career criminal let loose to terrorize the community.

Jermaine Long, 44, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison after pleading no contest to Aggravated Battery and Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, along with 6 other charges in 3 other cases.

Including 30 years as a Prison Releasee Reoffender.

On February 14, 2026, Long slashed a 13 year old white boy across the neck with a box cutter in Daytona Beach.

Surveillance video showed Long circling the behind the boy before he attacked him.

Luckily, the boy survived.

That same morning he hit a man in the face with a sledgehammer.

The attacks came only 4 days after he was released from a jail when prosecutors declined to charge him in a January case where he was arrested for aggravated assault with a pole and a knife.

And he's a convicted sex offender out of Nebraska.

A 2016 Omaha conviction for third-degree SA of a child, with a minor victim. It lists him as having absconded in 2022.

2 Pine Bluff teens were shot dead in a parked car.

More than 3 years later, 3 men are tied to the case.

▪ March 7, 2023. Sunset Village Apartments, Pine Bluff, AR.
▪ Police say gunfire riddled a silver Chevy Malibu.

▪️ Ashrray Thomas, 18, died. She was a Dollarway High senior.
▪️ Julian "J.T." Tolbert, 16, died. He was a Pine Bluff High sophomore.
▪️ Ashrray's sister Aspen was shot. She survived.
▪️ A 4th victim, Chequan Brown, was also shot.

▪️ Kavon Bledsoe, 25, was arrested in 2023.
* Court records show he pleaded guilty last month to 2 counts of 2nd degree murder. He got 15 years.
* 2 counts of murder and he will be out by the time he's 40.

▪️ Kenon Smith, 24, was arrested in Little Rock this week and served a murder warrant.

▪️ Quentine Lowe, 22, was already jailed on unrelated charges. Now he's been served a murder warrant too.

Putting a regulated stablecoin directly inside a chartered U.S. bank’s core operating system is a major milestone for crypto banking plumbing, though there is an important distinction between making a payment rail available and every partner on that bank's roster actually using it.
​The October 15, 2026 announcement confirms that Cross River Bank has partnered with Ripple to integrate its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin (RLUSD) into Cross River's proprietary Core Operating System (COS), supporting transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Rather than dealing with the complexity of deploying blockchain infrastructure from scratch, businesses and fintechs can access RLUSD alongside traditional ACH, wires, and real-time payments through a single API connection.
​What Happens If Major Platforms Flip the Switch?
​If high-volume fintechs and payment platforms connected to Cross River begin routing volume through this integration, the practical shifts happen behind the scenes:
​24/7 Treasury & Intraday Settlement: Traditional banking rails batch-process and shut down on weekends and holidays, forcing payment processors and card networks to lock up working capital. On the XRPL, RLUSD transactions settle in 3 to 5 seconds at a fraction of a cent and move 24/7, giving issuers and acquirers greater flexibility to settle intraday and reduce settlement latency.
​"Invisible" Blockchain Rails for Cross-Border Payouts: End users won't need to manage crypto wallets directly. Cross River's platform acts as the integration layer between regulated financial services and blockchain-based payment networks. Fintechs can move between U.S. dollars and RLUSD to settle cross-border payments and treasury movements 24/7 within the same environment as traditional banking rails.
​XRPL Volume vs. $XRP Token Impact: Every transaction on the XRP Ledger requires a microscopic amount of $XRP to be burned as a network fee. However, because XRPL transactions cost just a fraction of a cent, institutional stablecoin settlement primarily drives on-chain liquidity and RLUSD adoption rather than automatically creating massive buying pressure for the $XRP token itself—unless those institutions also tap into XRPL's decentralized exchange (DEX) or liquidity pools.
​Reality Check on the "Connect the Dots" Roster
​Cross River is a heavyweight in Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), providing regulated accounts, card issuing, and payment rails for some of the biggest names in tech and finance. However, Cross River acts like an infrastructure menu. Integrating RLUSD into Cross River's existing stablecoin infrastructure establishes it as an additional payment rail, which means existing bank clients are not automatically forced to use it:
​X Money (Elon Musk) — The Wildcard: Cross River holds the FDIC-insured deposits powering X Money's rollout alongside Visa Direct for real-time funding. X Money currently runs on traditional fiat rails with no confirmed plans for XRPL, but having RLUSD pre-wired into its primary partner bank makes turning on global stablecoin transfers a turnkey API option if X ever chooses to expand into crypto rails.
​Stripe — Unlikely Primary Rail: While Stripe uses Cross River for traditional banking and lending infrastructure, Stripe has built its own massive stablecoin stack (including acquiring Bridge and partnering closely with Circle’s USDC). Stripe is far more likely to route stablecoin volume through its own in-house infrastructure than outsource it to Cross River’s Ripple integration.
​Coinbase — Direct Competitor: Coinbase has used Cross River for fiat payment rails, but Coinbase is a co-architect of Circle's USDC and runs its own Ethereum Layer-2 network (Base). Coinbase has zero incentive to route settlement through a rival stablecoin (RLUSD) on a rival blockchain (XRPL).

We have a trans terror epidemic in this country. And I'm tired of pretending like we don't.

This muslim threw a puppy into a fire on Facebook Live. Then he kicked it back in when it tried to crawl out.

December 18, 2024. Orangeburg, South Carolina. Deputies got the video the same day and found the dead puppy in the woods nearby.

Desmond Levon Brown, 30, pleaded guilty under the federal PACT Act. Today a Columbia judge gave him 5 years in prison and 3 years supervised release.

First PACT Act case the U.S. Attorney in South Carolina has ever prosecuted. Max was 7.

U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling called it heinous. Five years out of seven. You tell me if that matches what he did to that puppy.
