According to Fox News, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has collaborated with law enforcement agencies in Dubai, China, and Thailand to conduct a large-scale multinational joint law enforcement operation, successfully dismantling at least 9 overseas cryptocurrency scam centers, resulting in the arrest of 276 suspects, with the amount involved reaching millions of dollars.In this operation, the U.S. District Court in San Diego has filed federal telecommunications fraud and money laundering charges against 6 suspects, including individuals from Myanmar and Indonesia, whose scam organizations operated under names such as "Sanduo Group" and "Giant Company." Dubai police arrested 275 suspects, while the Royal Thai Police separately apprehended 1 fugitive.The aforementioned scam network employed a "pig butchering" technique, gaining the trust of victims through fabricated friendships or romantic relationships, luring them to transfer funds to fake cryptocurrency investment platforms, and then laundering the money and transferring it to criminal accounts.This operation aligns with the executive order signed by Trump on March 6, 2026, aimed at combating overseas criminal networks that exploit U.S. citizens. The FBI's "Operation Level Up" has notified approximately 9,000 victims, recovering about $562 million in losses for U.S. citizens. The FBI urges victims to report through the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

Polymarket shows that the probability of "Powell resigning from the Federal Reserve Board before May 30" has plummeted to 9%, a 25% drop in 24 hours; the probability of "Powell resigning from the Federal Reserve Board before December 31" has fallen to 66%, an 11% drop in 24 hours. The event contract rules state that if Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is no longer a member of the Federal Reserve Board at any time during the specified date (11:59 PM Eastern Time), it will be determined as "yes"; otherwise, it will be determined as "no."If Powell no longer serves as Federal Reserve Chairman but remains a member of the Federal Reserve Board, it does not meet the criteria for a "yes" determination. The determination is based on information released by the U.S. government, but consensus from credible reports can also serve as a basis. Powell stated at a press conference this morning that he will continue to serve as a Federal Reserve Board member "for a while" after stepping down as chairman and promised to "keep a low profile." U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen responded that "if Powell remains a Federal Reserve Board member, it would be unusual; for someone who has always emphasized norms, his unilateral decision runs counter to tradition."Polymarket continues to monitor the prediction market and sees changes before pricing.

Christopher Harborne resides in Thailand and holds a 12% stake in the stablecoin issuer Tether.Nigel Farage stated that the grant was intended to ensure his personal safety and not for political activities. However, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party accused him of violating the House of Commons rules requiring members to declare earnings received in the 12 months prior to their election, and have requested the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate.
