Quranic Textual Criticism Exposes the Myth of Perfect Preservation Muslims claim the Quran stands perfectly preserved, word for word, as the eternal speech of allah, citing Surah 15:9: “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian.” That claim collapses under historical and manuscript evidence. After Muhammad’s death in 632 C.E., the text existed in scattered oral reports and personal writings of companions. Caliph Uthman (r. 644–656 C.E.) ordered a standardized mushaf (codex), then commanded the burning of all competing versions, including those of companions such as Ibn Masud and Ubayy ibn Kab, whose collections differed in content, order, and wording. The Quran is Not A Literary Miracle. Claims that the Quran’s Arabic prose is an unmatched, divinely inspired literary masterpiece rest on subjective aesthetic judgments and a circular challenge (“produce a surah like it”) that no independent standard can fairly test. Classical Arabic already possessed sophisticated rhymed prose (saj‘), poetic meters, and rhetorical devices long before the 7th century; the Quran’s style is a recognizable development of those existing forms rather than a sudden rupture. Non-Arabic speakers, and even many native speakers, experience the text through translation or later interpretation, stripping away the alleged inimitable beauty. Literary critics have long noted uneven quality—repetitions, abrupt shifts, grammatical irregularities, and opaque passages—while later Arab poets and writers produced polished works that, by ordinary literary criteria, equal or surpass many Quranic sections. The miracle claim therefore functions more as a faith assertion than a demonstrable fact. The Quran Does Not Confirm Previous Scripture. The Quran repeatedly states that it “confirms” the Torah and the Gospel (e.g., 3:3, 5:46–48), yet it systematically contradicts the core content of those earlier texts as they existed in the 7th century and as they are preserved today. It denies the crucifixion and death of Jesus (4:157), rejects the doctrine of the Trinity and the divine sonship of Christ, alters key narratives about Abraham, Moses, and other figures, and introduces doctrines (final prophethood of Muhammad, abrogation of earlier laws) that the Hebrew Bible and New Testament do not contain. The later Islamic claim that the previous scriptures were “corrupted” is an ad-hoc solution that the Quran itself never clearly articulates in its earliest layers; it treats the Torah and Gospel as still authoritative while simultaneously contradicting them. The result is not confirmation but replacement. The Quran is Not Harmonious. Despite frequent assertions of perfect internal consistency, the text contains numerous unresolved tensions and contradictions. Abrogation (naskh) is invoked to explain conflicting commands on alcohol, warfare, inheritance, and treatment of non-believers, yet the principle itself is applied inconsistently and lacks a clear chronological or hierarchical rule within the text. Theological statements about free will versus predestination, the nature of God’s attributes, and the fate of earlier communities clash without reconciliation. Historical and narrative details—such as the identity of Mary’s relatives, the sequence of creation days, or the fate of Pharaoh—vary across passages. These discontinuities are not the product of progressive revelation in a coherent whole; they reflect the accretion of material over two decades under shifting circumstances. The Quran Is of Man, Not God. The text’s content, language, and concerns align closely with the 7th-century Arabian milieu of its human author and audience. It draws extensively on pre-existing Jewish, Christian, and Arabian oral traditions—including apocryphal stories of Jesus’ infancy, rabbinic midrash, and local legends—often in forms that were circulating in the Hijaz rather than from independent divine disclosure. Legal and social rulings mirror the evolving needs of a growing community under Muhammad’s leadership: changing attitudes toward warfare, booty, marriage, and relations with Jews and Christians track the political situation in Mecca and Medina. Linguistic features, including loanwords, dialectal peculiarities, and stylistic shifts between early and later surahs, are characteristic of a human composition process rather than timeless divine speech. The simplest and best-supported explanation is that the Quran is a product of its time, place, and prophet. The Quran is Fatally Flawed! Beyond literary and theological problems, the Quran contains demonstrable errors of fact, science, history, and ethics that undermine claims of perfect divine origin. Cosmological descriptions (sun setting in a muddy spring, heavens as solid roofs, stars as missiles against demons) and embryological sequences reflect the limited knowledge of late antiquity, not modern understanding. Historical inaccuracies—placing Mary in the family of Moses and Aaron by centuries, or mislocating events—cannot be reconciled without forced reinterpretation. Ethically, the text endorses practices (permanent slavery under certain conditions, unequal legal testimony and inheritance for women, offensive warfare and the taking of captives) that conflict with universal moral intuitions and with later human progress. These cumulative defects—literary unevenness, internal contradiction, historical dependence, and factual error—render the claim of flawless divine authorship untenable.

Nine-Year Marriage Ends in Tragedy in Bengaluru Bengaluru On Monday late evening, a techie couple died by suicide within the jurisdiction of the Kothanur police station at the high-end Nikoo Homes residential complex in Bhartiya City, #Bengaluru. The deceased have been identified as Bhanu Chander Reddy Kunta (32) and his wife Bibi Shaziya Siraj (31). Both were originally from #Telangana and had been living in Bengaluru for several years to pursue careers in the #IT sector. According to preliminary police reports, the tragedy unfolded in stages within Tower 6 of the apartment complex. Investigations suggest that Bhanu Chander first took his own life by hanging inside their residence. Upon discovering her husband’s body, a distraught Shaziya allegedly climbed to the 17th floor of the building and jumped to her death. Police have registered two separate Unnatural Death Reports under Section 194 of the BNSS. The couple had been married for approximately nine years, following a period of live-in relationship. They had been residing at their current address in #BhartiyaCity for over a year. While Shaziya was employed with a prominent multinational tech company, Bhanu Chander had reportedly been unemployed for some time. Preliminary inquiries suggest the couple was facing persistent domestic friction and Bhanu Chander was battling ongoing health issues. The Kothanur police of the North East Division are looking into all angles, including their digital footprints and personal records, to understand the exact sequence of events.

Today, we're announcing a $60M Series B led by Battery Ventures, bringing our total funding to $85M in just under a year. Also joining the round are founders and operators who’ve built generational companies of the last two decades – tobi lutke (CEO, Shopify), arash ferdowsi (Dropbox), Claire Hughes Johnson (Stripe), and more. The round came together in 6 days. Here's why. Every major category in enterprise software is seeing multiple AI-native challengers. CRM, ERP, ITSM – all being rebuilt from scratch by a new generation of companies applying AI to solve persistent problems we couldn’t before. Employee Management (also known as HCM) is the exception. It’s the last frontier, and we believe the most important one. The operating layer to manage people, run payroll, benefits, compliance, and IT, for every company in the world, is still built on architecture that predates AI by decades. This fundraise is the story of how Warp is changing that. The average Warp customer is growing 5x faster than their peers, with 1/10th of the HR and admin overhead. We’re seeing a massive shift happening in how the best companies run their people operations. From the fastest-growing AI-startups to massive public companies, the winning teams are running lean: HR, finance, and ops generalists who automate as much as possible, and use their time instead for strategic work that AI can’t automate. Warp is the platform of choice for ambitious companies operating at this new pace. Legacy HCMs help humans track the work. Warp uses AI to proactively complete the work. Workday was built for the last era. We're building for the next one. And it’s working. We've – - Doubled ARR in Q1 - On track to $2B+ payroll volume this year - Signed enterprise customers with thousands of employees - Launched entire product lines back-to-back: Warp benefits brokerage and Warp Fabric (our AI-native IT automation suite built in-house). A few thank-yous: 1. Our customers, the fastest-growing companies in the world, who trust us with their most critical systems. We wouldn't be here without you. 2. Our team - 50+ people in NYC who've built this platform, taken on the hardest problems in business-critical software. We're just getting started. 3. Our investors doubling down in this round, and some of our earliest believers – Sound Ventures (ashton kutcher, Effie Epstein), Derek Grant, (Arnav Sahu), Harj Taggar at Y Combinator, Balaji, Kevin Hartz, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, HOF Capital (Fady Yacoub), colinevans (OpenAI) We're here to arm ambitious American companies with Workday-grade power, but with the usability and delight of an Apple product. With this new funding, we plan to fund deeper AI agents, tax and compliance infrastructure, expand our product suite, and support even closely our fast-growing customers. Come join us.

Dramatic events today. Let's review what just happened: With #Iran's regime targeting Saudi Aramco today, reprising its attacks in 2019 of Saudi oil infrastructure, it is reverting to factory settings pre-normalization with #SaudiArabia. The Islamic Republic is proving the terrorist regime it always was, hiding behind diplomatic niceties. #Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is saying today #Iran's regime has to pay a price for targeting Qatari civilian infrastructure. This is coming from *Qatar* which has long had close ties to Tehran and served as a diplomatic pressure valve for the regime. Tehran similarly attacked Oman in recent days. Just today an oil tanker was attacked in the Gulf of Oman by a bomb-carrying drone boat, sparking a fire and killing 1. UAE has also been the victim of Tehran's attacks. A drone strike hit a British air base in Cyprus overnight, causing limited damage and no casualties, Cypriot and British officials said on Monday. Has the regime in Tehran heard of NATO? The UK is a NATO member-state. Several U.S. warplanes crashed this morning in #Kuwait. But all crew members thankfully survived. Iran's regime is trying to widen the conflict to put pressure on the U.S. to curtail the Operation Epic Fury and distract from attacking Iranian soil. But given these attacks, Iran's regime is effectively triggering a coalition of countries to join the U.S. and #Israel or at least support them. Tehran was already deeply isolated before this--China, Russia haven't defended it militarily--but now it's diplomatic problems are growing even worse. It is digging its own grave. Tehran views this as a fight for survival, but in doing so it is ensuring its demise.

A 24-year-old built two AI girls with Claude and now clears $21,800 a month from them. The build took 15 days. He trained separate LoRAs for both girls, locked their identity seeds, and kept small imperfections on purpose: a loose strand of hair, tiny skin marks, slightly uneven framing. Perfect symmetry gets flagged. Small inconsistencies make them look real. He posts 5 times a day across TikTok, Instagram and X. Morning routines, gym sessions, mirror videos, outfit changes, pool clips, and videos of the two girls together. The content is designed so they look like two real friends who actually live in the same world. The smartest part is that the accounts interact with each other. One girl comments on the other’s posts, appears in her videos, and references things they supposedly did together. Followers stop seeing them as two AI models and start following the relationship between the characters. Within three months they crossed 312,000 followers combined and started receiving hundreds of DMs every night. The private channel sits at $25 a month, while an AI memory agent keeps track of every conversation, previous message, favorite post, and personal detail each follower has shared. Replies come back in under 30 seconds. The agent checks the user's previous conversations before answering, so the response feels consistent with the personality of the girl they are talking to instead of sounding like another generic AI chatbot. By the end of month three, the two accounts were generating $13,900 from subscriptions and private chats, another $5,700 from brand deals, and around $2,200 from digital products. The brands came after the audience started growing: clothing companies, beauty products, fitness brands, and lifestyle products wanted access to the same audience that was already following the two characters every day. The Claude stack that locked them: 1Full identity, personality, lighting, camera style and body proportions locked into separate character systems. 2Separate LoRAs trained only on each girl's approved character frames. 3Apartment, bedroom, gym and outdoor locations generated once and reused to keep the world consistent. 4Every video built around natural movement, imperfect framing and small variations instead of polished AI-perfect shots. 5Memory agent connected to the conversations so both girls remember what followers previously said. 6Upscaling, face consistency and final post-processing before everything goes live. The first girl brings people into the account. The second gives them another character to follow, another story to watch, and another reason to come back. The content gets them interested. The relationship between the two characters keeps them watching. The memory agent turns that attention into recurring revenue.

Concerns Raised Over Managerial Conduct at Equity Bank There appears to be growing concerns among staff regarding the conduct of a senior credit officer, with allegations of unprofessional behaviour surfacing across multiple instances. Reports from employees suggest that workplace tensions have been escalating, with claims of hostility, intimidation, and, in some cases, near-physical confrontations. Despite complaints purportedly being raised through internal channels, some sources indicate that no substantive action has been taken, leading to speculation about whether internal oversight mechanisms are being effectively applied. According to accounts from individuals familiar with the situation, the officer in question has allegedly developed a reputation for dismissing grievances brought against him, reportedly claiming that complaints will not lead to any consequences. Some employees believe that his confidence in avoiding disciplinary measures stems from support within the bank’s hierarchy, though no official confirmation of such protections exists. The latest alleged incident, captured on video, appears to show him expelling credit staff from a meeting over a five-minute delay, with reports suggesting that the employees had encountered transport disruptions due to planned demonstrations along Thika Road. Despite what some describe as a reasonable explanation for their lateness, he is said to have refused to engage in any discussion, instead instructing them to leave the meeting. Following the incident, affected employees are believed to have escalated their grievances to the relevant departments, but there are claims that the matter was not meaningfully addressed. Some staff now suggest that this lack of intervention has emboldened the officer, with reports emerging that his interactions with both colleagues and customers have become increasingly strained. One particularly concerning account describes an alleged confrontation on 25 January 2025, when he is said to have berated a client seeking assistance, along with the security personnel accompanying them. Witnesses claim that when customer service supervisors attempted to intervene, the situation escalated into a heated verbal exchange, drawing attention from other clients in the branch. "Hi Nyakundi. Hide my identity. There is this Equity Bank Credit Manager stationed at Kariobangi Branch by the name James Gakundi. The guy has been so unprofessional in dealing with staff and has even gone to the extent of almost engaging fellow staff in fistfights; it's been his mode of operation even from previous branches he has worked at. The guy seems to have a godfather because all the incidents are reported, and no action has ever been taken against him, and he even boasts about it, saying even if you report him to anybody within the ranks, there is nothing that will be done. On this particular video, he is pushing the credit staff out of the meeting for being 5 minutes late without listening to the reasons behind their lateness. The subject staff stay along Thika Road, and this specific day, the Gen Zs had planned for riots; hence there were matatus on the road. The guys tried their best to get to the office, but he became unruly and pushed them out as per the video. This incident was reported to the relevant departments, but since he has people who support him, the case never got resolved. However, he now became very sarcastic and bullish to the staff, with pride that no matter where you report him, nothing will ever be done to him. This is a corporate institution, but the guy has made it look like a casual mjengo organization where he threatens and intimidates staff and even customers. On 25th January 2025, he was harassing a customer who had visited his office for an inquiry together with the security lady who had accompanied the client to show her the office; when the customer service supervisors interjected, he blew out with noise and unruliness, prompting the clients who were in the office to interject. Is this the way Equity Managers are supposed to handle both staff and clients in this era of mental health awareness? Kindly expose this to the public."

The strongest case for the claim that Islam’s core goal is to dominate the West, subjugate non-Muslims, and eventually convert or control everyone under Islamic rule rests on foundational texts, historical precedent, and modern Islamist strategies. At the heart of this argument are explicit scriptural commands in the Quran calling for Islam to prevail over all other religions. Verses such as 9:33, 48:28, and 61:9 state that God sent His Messenger with the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion. Other passages instruct believers to fight until there is no fitnah and religion is entirely for Allah alone (2:193, 8:39), which classical scholars like Ibn Kathir have long interpreted as a mandate to continue struggle until Islam reigns supreme and non-Muslims either convert, submit as dhimmis, or face defeat in battle. Quran 9:29 commands fighting those who do not believe until they pay the jizyah tax willingly while humbled. The Hadith literature reinforces this vision: the Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said he was ordered to fight people until they declare there is no god but Allah (Sahih Bukhari 1:8:387), with paradise promised to those who die spreading Islam through jihad. History provides a clear pattern of conquest that aligns with these texts. Within a century of Muhammad’s death, Islamic armies had swept out of Arabia to conquer the Byzantine Middle East, North Africa, Persia, and Spain. This rapid expansion relied not solely on peaceful invitation but on military campaigns that offered populations the choice of Islam, tribute, or the sword. The caliphate system itself functioned as an engine of perpetual expansion, dividing the world into dar al-Islam (the house of Islam) and dar al-harb (the house of war), with the ultimate objective of bringing the entire world under Islamic governance. In the modern era, influential Islamist thinkers and movements continue to pursue this vision through both violent and non-violent means. Sayyid Qutb, a leading ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood, described the contemporary world, including the West, as jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) that must be overthrown to establish Allah’s sovereignty over man-made laws. The Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 strategic memorandum for North America openly outlined a “civilization-jihadist process” aimed at eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within through settlement, propagation of Islam, and gradual institutional takeover. Migration (hijra) is strategically employed in the same way Muhammad used his move to Medina: large-scale Muslim immigration to Western countries, combined with higher birth rates, creates growing parallel societies that first demand accommodations under sharia, then assert dominance. Organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir openly advocate for a restored global caliphate and organize in Western nations to recruit and spread this goal, often facing bans in Muslim-majority countries for their radicalism yet operating with relative freedom in places like the United Kingdom until recently. Billions in funding from Saudi Arabia and Qatar have supported the construction of mosques, universities, and cultural centers in the West, frequently promoting Wahhabi or Salafi interpretations that emphasize Islamic supremacy over non-Muslim societies. Demographic trends further this strategy. Muslim populations in many Western European cities already form significant minorities, often 25 to 40 percent in certain districts, with even higher proportions among younger generations. Native European birth rates remain below replacement level while many Muslim communities sustain rates two to three times higher. Projections from sources like Pew Research and national statistics offices suggest several European countries could reach 20 to 30 percent Muslim population by 2050 under continued migration.

🚨 This is wild for a sitting governor. 🚨 California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted a reel taking shots at Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump, using: •Photos of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein •Photos of Trump with himself right after photos of Trump with Epstein.. Which was odd🧐 Are you dissing Trump or allegedly acting as if you are Epstein re incarnated? 🤔 •Audio from Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” (a Nicki Minaj diss) 🤔 For a politician, this is reckless behavior. Especially one who presents himself as a “moral” and “model” leader compared to the opposition. ⚠️ Conflict of Interest? Using the music of a controversial artist, while: •That artist’s alleged ex intimate partner is incarcerated by her allegations •His case allegedly contains reasonable doubt •Advocates have reportedly tried to get Newsom’s office to review the case That alone raises serious ethical questions. 📌 Let’s talk about Newsom’s actual record not social media stunts. Reparations in California: •Newsom signaled support during election cycles •But rejected direct cash reparations at the final stage In 2023, he refused to endorse the California Reparations Task Force’s cash payment recommendations, stating the legacy of slavery is “more than cash payments.” He also vetoed or declined support for bills that would have: •Provided college admission preferences for descendants of enslaved people •Allowed families to reclaim or be compensated for property taken via racially motivated eminent domain •Created homebuyer assistance funds for descendants of enslaved people 📉 Bottom line: No direct cash reparations. Multiple reparations bills scaled back or vetoed. 💰 California’s Tax & Business Exodus •Newsom supports policies like a retroactive billionaire tax •Targets roughly 220 billionaires, the most mobile taxpayers in the country 📊 IRS-based studies show: •California loses a taxpayer roughly every 1–2 minutes •States gaining residents: Texas, Florida, North Carolina Major companies leaving California include: Chevron, Tesla/X, SpaceX, Oracle, HP, Charles Schwab, Toyota North America, Joe Rogan Experience just to name a few. 📉 The Result? •Shrinking tax base •Growing budget deficits •Businesses and high earners “voting with their feet” Economists point to the Laffer Curve: ➡️ Higher taxes don’t always mean higher revenue ➡️ Excessive taxation often drives capital out, not in 🗳️ And now Gavin Newsom wants to run for President… …on a record of: •Performative politics •Broken reparations promises •Business flight •Aggressive taxation •And viral Instagram governance 🤔 Is this leadership or clout chasing?

Shell in the Spotlight Again as More Motorists Blame Contaminated Fuel Sold at Their Stations for Engine Damage Fuel service stations operated under the Shell brand, which is managed by Vivo Energy Kenya, are once again on the spot after another frustrated motorist blamed poor-quality fuel for allegedly damaging his car engine. The incident reportedly happened just moments after the driver refueled at Shell Links Road in Mombasa when the vehicle began losing power on the way to Voi. Despite pushing forward, the problem worsened, and the car eventually stalled a few kilometres before Kitui, forcing the motorist to seek emergency mechanical assistance. A mechanic from Kitui ran a diagnostic test and found severe engine damage, including a completely worn-out piston, citing contaminated fuel as the likely cause of the problem. With no alternative, the motorist had the vehicle towed back to Mombasa and reported the matter to Vivo Energy Kenya. A representative from the company requested a fuel sample for testing at their laboratory. On Tuesday, they informed her that the sample had passed all tests. The motorist, dissatisfied with Vivo Energy’s response, instructed his mechanic to conduct a more thorough inspection of the engine to determine the extent of the damage. Upon dismantling the engine, the mechanic once again confirmed that one piston was completely worn out, an issue he attributed to contaminated fuel. According to the mechanic, the level of damage was consistent with prolonged exposure to poor-quality fuel, suggesting that the problem began soon after refueling. The motorist, convinced that bad fuel was responsible, claims to have gathered video evidence showing the fuel sample in a mixed and compromised state. She insists that the sample, which was taken directly from her vehicle, appeared discoloured and inconsistent with what is expected of high-grade V-Power petrol. Despite presenting this evidence, Vivo Energy reportedly maintained that their tests found no issues with the fuel. The motorist is now escalating the matter, determined to hold Vivo Energy accountable for the damage. She has shared video evidence, showing the contaminated fuel and is calling for independent testing to verify its quality. Frustrated by what she sees as the company’s unwillingness to take responsibility, she is considering legal action and has reached out to consumer rights groups for support. This case adds to growing complaints from Kenyan motorists about fuel quality, with recent independent tests exposing major discrepancies in octane levels at several stations. An automotive content creator Kim JH of Tanuki Garage recently went around Nairobi, purchasing fuel samples from different stations and conducting on-the-spot octane tests. The findings revealed that some premium fuels, including Shell V-Power, underperformed compared to standard fuels. For instance, Total Limuru Road recorded the highest performance with a PON of 92, while Shell V-Power scored lower, challenging the common perception of premium fuel superiority. His findings, shared widely on social media, sparked outrage, with motorists demanding accountability from fuel retailers. Following the viral exposé, oil marketers, including Vivo Energy rushed to dismiss the findings, arguing that independent tests lacked credibility and did not follow industry-approved procedures. Shell Kenya, through Vivo Energy, insisted that its fuel met regulatory standards, pointing to tests conducted by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). However, the issue has refused to die down as more motorists continue to report unusual engine problems after refueling from previously reputable stations. Meanwhile, consumer advocacy groups have joined the debate, urging EPRA to conduct random and independent fuel quality tests at petrol stations across the country. They argue that the current reliance on oil marketers’ internal tests is inadequate and fails to protect motorists from potentially damaging fuel. The controversy has also drawn the attention of lawmakers, with some calling for stricter oversight and stiffer penalties for companies found selling substandard fuel. For motorists like the one affected at Shell Links Road, the issue is not just about technical standards but about accountability and compensation for the damage suffered. "Hi Nyakundi. I am Here to seek your intervention I fueled at shell links road ,vpower on Saturday, by the time I reached voi my car lost power I kept going but got worse as I moved. A few kms before kitui,the car stalled...I called a mechanic from kitui who came with a diagnosis machine and from what he said,I had put bad fuel. I towed the car back to msa. I reported to vivo. A guy from vivo by the name Brian mbaabu called and asked me to take the fuel for tests in their lab. He then called yesterday, on Tues and said that the sample passed all tests.... I asked my mechanic to open up the engine and to our surprise one piston is totally worn out an indication of bad fuel I will attach all I have including videos as I got the sample and it's all mixed up"

Our platform has been battle-tested during volatile market conditions, and each of our products has performed exactly as expected—solidifying our place as a cornerstone in the #MultiversX ecosystem. Describing last year as “incredible” feels like an understatement. We’ve witnessed unprecedented growth across the entire #MultiversX ecosystem, particularly in terms of TVL and yield opportunities. The day before Hatom launched its Lending Protocol and Liquid Staking on Mainnet, #MultiversX had a total TVL of $95 million. Within two weeks, the ecosystem surpassed $200 million in TVL, with Hatom driving over 50% of that growth. At its peak, Hatom reached over $280 million in TVL, accounting for more than 70% of the chain’s total TVL. What's even more remarkable is that, after initially using Treasury funds to incentivize users, Hatom has shifted to distributing rewards solely from protocol revenue. This marks the start of a fully sustainable, real-yield model, proving our products' rapid product-market fit and long-term viability. A Recap of the Past Year Here’s a quick overview of what we’ve accomplished in the past year: • Launched the first Lending Protocol in the #MultiversX ecosystem, along with the Liquid Staking Protocol on Mainnet. • Surpassed $100 million in TVL within just five days of the launch. • Deployed the HTM Booster Module and Accumulator. • Launched the Tao Bridge and Tao Liquid Staking, bringing over 33k $TAO into the #MultiversX ecosystem in just two weeks. • Implemented multiple upgrades to core infrastructure. • $HTM became the second-largest ESDT token after $EGLD. • Distributed over $3.85 million in rewards to our users. We are happy to announce that Hatom V2 is now live! After an incredible year of growth, we’re excited to take the next step toward becoming the leading liquidity hub across multiple chains. We invite you to explore our newly rebranded website at marking the beginning of our omni-chain journey. This rebranding reflects our bold vision and sets the stage for a full overhaul of our dApps, delivering a fresh and enhanced experience for all users. Achieving self-sustainability in such a short time, we now focus on research and development. Instead of pursuing many ideas, we’re committed to building high-impact products that create perfect synergies within our ecosystem. With that said, let’s dive into the key topics of this update: USH and Booster V2. Hatom USD (USH) We’ve highlighted USH in several updates, and it’s great to see the community recognizing its potential. USH is set to be one of the most impactful products on #MultiversX, providing a key revenue stream for Hatom while helping us maintain competitive rates and long-term sustainability. USH is the result of extensive research and careful development, designed to seamlessly fit into the Hatom ecosystem. While many DeFi projects are raising millions for new stablecoins, USH stands as another powerful product within our hub. The time has finally come for USH to be unveiled to the public, and we are excited to announce that USH will officially launch on Devnet on 28th October. While we’ve thoroughly tested for bugs internally, we’re excited to engage the community in this critical phase. To encourage participation, we’ll offer incentives for those testing USH on the Devnet, with more details to be shared at launch. Understanding USH's architecture is key to how it functions within our ecosystem. Let’s break it down step by step, starting with an explanation of each component. Facilitators USH’s minting process is driven by Facilitators—smart contracts responsible for the controlled minting and burning of USH. At launch, two primary facilitators will handle these tasks, each with distinct functionality: 1. Lending Protocol Facilitator The Lending Protocol Facilitator allows users to mint USH using a variety of supported collateral assets directly into the Hatom Lending Protocol. Unlike traditional lending mechanisms, where interest rates fluctuate based on the utilization rate, the minting of USH has fixed interest rates, thanks to Hatom's unique role as the entity managing the minting process. In a scenario where a user is minting USH through this facilitator using multiple assets as collateral, the protocol automatically prioritizes collateral with the lowest Minting APY. Let’s consider an example where a user deposits: - $1,000 in USDC (with a collateral factor of 80% and a 2% Minting APY) - $1,000 in BTC (with a collateral factor of 75% and a 3% Minting APY) - $1,000 in HTM (with a collateral factor of 70% and a 4% Minting APY) Based on these parameters, the user can mint a maximum of $2,250 worth of USH, distributed as follows: - $800 from $USDC (80% of $1,000) at 2% Minting APY - $750 from $BTC (75% of $1,000) at 3% Minting APY - $700 from $HTM (70% of $1,000) at 4% Minting APY The overall Minting APY will be a weighted average of these individual APYs, calculated based on the proportion of USH minted from each collateral type. Now, if the user decides to borrow only $1,000 worth of USH, the APY is determined as follows: - The first $800 will be borrowed from $USDC at 2% APY - The remaining $200 will be borrowed from $BTC at 3% APY This results in an effective Minting APY of 2.2%, reflecting a weighted average of the APYs across the borrowed amounts. It’s important to note that EGLD and wTAO, along with their liquid staking derivatives such as sEGLD and swTAO, can only be used as collateral in the Isolated Pools (which will be explained in the next section), not in the Lending Protocol 2. Isolated Pools Facilitator The Isolated Pools Facilitator allows users to mint $USH at zero interest using $EGLD, $wTAO, or their liquid staking derivatives ( $sEGLD or $swTAO) as collateral. Here’s how it works: When depositing EGLD or wTAO • These assets are staked through the Hatom Liquid Staking Protocol, generating the staking APY. • The staked assets are then deposited into the Lending Protocol, earning a supply APY, but are not activated as collateral. When depositing sEGLD or swTAO • When users deposit staking derivatives into the Isolated Pools, the protocol holds the staking derivatives, but the user's exposure is immediately shifted to the underlying asset ( $EGLD or $wTAO). This means the user no longer benefits from the staking rewards of the derivative, and instead, their exposure is entirely tied to the value and price movements of the underlying asset. • The staked assets are deposited into the Hatom Lending Protocol, earning the supply APY, but again not being activated as collateral. Since the protocol generates revenue from staking and supplying assets in the Lending Protocol, this income is used to incentivize the USH Staking Module. The protocol buys HTM tokens from the open market and distributes them, along with all fees generated by other facilitators, as rewards to stakers. We believe that the Isolated Pools Facilitator is one of the most important pieces of the USH ecosystem. Its potential impact on the TVL within both the Hatom ecosystem and the broader #MultiversX blockchain is immense and the revenue generated by this facilitator through fees will significantly bolster the overall growth of the protocol. To illustrate the potential of Isolated Pools, let’s use the following example: • $50 million worth of $EGLD is deposited into the Isolated Pools, generating a 6% staking APY • $50 million worth of $wTAO is also deposited, earning a 15% staking APY The total staking rewards generated from these assets would be: • $EGLD staking rewards: $50 million × 6% = $3 million annually • $wTAO staking rewards: $50 million × 15% = $7.5 million annually In total, the protocol generates $10.5 million in staking rewards annually. These rewards are then used to buy back HTM tokens from the open market, driving significant buying pressure on the HTM token itself. The purchased HTM tokens are distributed to USH LP stakers in the USH Staking Module, alongside the revenue generated by the Lending Protocol Facilitator. TVL and Yield Impact As we explore the broader impact of USH and the Isolated Pools, it becomes evident how these mechanisms contribute to the overall growth of the Hatom ecosystem, particularly in terms of TVL and potential yield generation. Based on the above numbers, if $50 million worth of $EGLD and $50 million worth of $wTAO are deposited into the Isolated Pools with a 75% collateral factor, we could mint up to $75 million worth of $USH. However, to prioritize safety, we’ll mint only 50% of the maximum, resulting in $37.5 million worth of $USH. In an ideal scenario, but also very unlikely, the $37.5 million $USH would be deposited in the Staking Module to generate rewards. In order for $USH to be deposited in the Staking Module, it is paired with another token (e.g., $USDC or $EGLD) to form Liquidity Pool (LP) position, contributing $75 million to the USH Staking Module. Additionally, the $100 million deposited in the Isolated Pools cycles through Liquid Staking and into the Lending Protocol, contributing a total of $300 million in TVL. Total TVL Breakdown: • $300 million from assets flowing through Isolated Pools ($100m) → Liquid Staking ($100m) → Lending Protocol ($100m) • $75 million from LP positions in the USH Staking Module Total TVL = $375 million As mentioned above, the $100 million deposited in Isolated Pools generates approximately $10.5 million annually in staking rewards (6% APY from $sEGLD and 15% APY from $swTAO). If all minted $USH is deposited into the Staking Module, the $75 million staked would benefit from these rewards, resulting in a 14% APY for USH LP stakers. On top of the protocol’s rewards, liquidity providers earn additional fees from their LP positions on decentralized exchanges, creating the perfect opportunity for all the participants in the USH Staking Module looking for attractive yields. USH Stability: The Peg Mechanism Ensuring the stability of USH is paramount, and to maintain its value close to $1 under all market conditions, we’ve implemented a robust dual peg mechanism. This system consists of two key layers of protection—Soft Peg and Hard Peg—designed to keep USH stable through both market-driven incentives and other mechanisms for scenarios where the Soft Peg mechanism can’t reclaim the peg. 1. Soft Peg Mechanism The Soft Peg Mechanism helps keep USH stable around its $1 value by encouraging market participants to act when USH trades above or below $1. When USH trades below $1 Users can buy USH at a discount, on a DEX, and repay their USH loans on Hatom, as USH is always valued at $1 on the protocol. This action removes $USH from circulation, helping to restore its price. When USH trades above $1 Users can borrow USH from the protocol at $1 and sell it on the open market at the higher price, increasing the circulating supply of USH and pushing its price back down to $1. 2. Hard Peg Mechanism (Redemption Mode) In cases where the Soft Peg alone cannot restore USH to $1 and its price drops significantly below the peg, the Hard Peg Mechanism is triggered through Redemption Mode. This mechanism allows any market participant to step in and help restore the peg by repaying USH loans for other borrowers, seizing their collateral at the full $1 value. It's important to note that Redemption Mode is only activated in the Isolated Pools and does not impact users minting USH through the Lending Protocol. Here’s how Redemption Mode works: When USH trades below $1 and the Redemption Mode is activated, redeemers can buy USH at the lower market price (e.g., $0.95), and use it to repay borrowers' debts at the full $1 value within the protocol. The redeemer receives collateral in the form of liquid staked tokens(such as $sEGLD or $swTAO) equivalent to the USH they repaid at its full $1 value, profiting from the difference between the discounted purchase price and the redemption value. The borrower being redeemed also benefits by receiving a redemption bonus, which allows them to keep a portion of their collateral after part of it is seized after loan was repaid. This system ensures that borrowers are not penalized during redemption, creating a balanced mechanism where both the redeemer and the borrower have something to gain. Redemption Mode differs from Liquidation in several ways: Redemption is triggered by USH falling below $1 and involves repaying borrower accounts to restore the peg. Both the redeemer and the borrower benefit, with the redeemer profiting from the price difference, and the borrower receiving a bonus from their collateral. Liquidation occurs when a borrower’s collateral falls below a certain threshold, making them risky. During liquidation, a portion of the borrower’s loan is repaid, and the collateral is seized, while also incurring a liquidation penalty. Redemption Mode uses a data structure known as a Red-Black Tree to efficiently monitor and rank all borrower positions within the protocol smart contract itself. This structure dynamically tracks borrowers based on their Borrow Limit Used, which is the percentage of collateral they have utilized relative to their borrowing capacity. The system prioritizes borrowers with the highest Borrow Limit Used, meaning those who have borrowed the most relative to their collateral are considered first for redemption. USH Airdrop Regarding the USH Airdrop, we would like to inform you that snapshots will end once USH is deployed on the Public Mainnet. The airdrop will be concluded shortly after, once all liquidity pools are stable and we determine the optimal moment to distribute the rewards to the community. USH Staking Module & Booster V2 The USH Staking Module will play a critical role in maintaining deep liquidity for USH while offering users high-yield opportunities. By staking USH LP tokens, such as USH/USDC and USH/EGLD, users can earn rewards generated by USH facilitators. This approach strengthens USH’s liquidity pools, making them robust enough to handle significant trades without destabilizing its price, thus reinforcing USH’s peg and overall stability. Beyond creating robust liquidity, the USH Staking Module serves as the key utility module within the USH ecosystem, designed to provide users with an opportunity to earn high yields on their USH holdings in a sustainable and organic way. All rewards distributed through the module are generated by various products across the Hatom ecosystem, ensuring long-term sustainability. For users seeking a more stable yield, the USH/USDC LP provides lower risk and steady returns. Those looking to leverage their EGLD holdings can opt for the USH/EGLD LP, which can be staked in the USH Staking Module. A key advantage of staking in the USH Staking Module is that rewards are based on the full value of the LP, not just the USH portion, maximizing your yield potential. As we continue to grow, we’ll be adding more LPs, providing users with even greater flexibility and options for staking their USH in the module. While our current focus is on LP tokens, we’re also exploring the possibility of allowing direct USH staking in the future, expanding the staking opportunities across the ecosystem. The Integration of Booster V2 with the Staking Module Booster V2 will be available for testing with the USH Devnet release, and with its introduction, we’ve strengthened the relationship between the HTM token and USH. Our ecosystem now features two independent boosters: one for the Lending Protocol and one for the USH Staking Module, each operating with the goal of maximizing yields for users. Key Improvements in Booster V2 Booster V2 brings several enhancements that elevate the functionality and user experience: Support for Multiple Token Types: Users will be able to deposit Pool Tokens, Farm Tokens, Dual Farm Tokens, or Staked HTM Tokens (via xExchange). Only the HTM portion will be considered for boosting. Unlimited Staking: The cap on HTM deposits will be removed, allowing users to stake without limits. This will foster a competitive environment where the more HTM you stake, the higher your potential APY. Integrated xExchange Management: Users will be able to manage their xExchange positions directly from the Booster dashboard. This will include creating pools, farming, dual farming, and staking HTM tokens, all from one convenient dashboard. Energy Management Integration: Booster V2 will allow users to manage their xExchange Energy directly from the dashboard, providing an additional way to boost rewards even further. Seamless Migration: Users will be able to migrate HTM between the Lending Protocol Booster and the USH Staking Module Booster without any cooldown periods, making it easier to optimize strategies across both modules. How the Yields Work Booster V2 will introduce a more structured and competitive approach to yield distribution across both the Lending Protocol and the Staking Module. HTM Booster in the Lending Protocol Base APY (First Batch): This is available to all users who stake a specific percentage of HTM relative to their collateral value. Any user can achieve this Base APY by staking the required amount of HTM. Boosted APY (Second Batch): After achieving the base level, users can boost their returns further by staking additional HTM, competing for the second batch of rewards. The more HTM staked beyond the base threshold, the higher the potential yield. USH Staking Module Yields Staking APY: Users who deposit USH-related LP tokens without boosting through the HTM Booster will still receive a Staking APY. This ensures that even passive participants which are not looking to stake their HTM in the Booster can take advantage of the USH Ecosystem to generate yields. Booster APY: Similar to the system in the Lending Protocol, users can stake HTM to unlock a Base APY. Beyond this threshold, any additional HTM staked will increase their APY in a competitive manner, allowing users to maximize their returns based on the amount of HTM they commit to boosting their positions. Rollout Plan for USH USH will be deployed in a phased rollout to ensure smooth implementation: Public Devnet: Open for testing, with incentives for participants to explore and stress-test the platform. Private Mainnet: A limited launch with partners to mint USH, bootstrap USH liquidity and generate initial protocol revenue. Public Mainnet: A full-scale launch, enabling all users to mint, stake, and trade USH. We know DeFi can be complex, which is why we’re committed to providing the tools and resources needed to navigate our ecosystem. With the USH Public Devnet launch, we’ll release updated documentation offering clear guidance on Hatom’s products. Developer documentation is also in the works, and we’re exploring the idea of a Hatom Academy for educational resources. Plus, we’ll soon roll out content focused on USH, helping users fully tap into its potential within Hatom and the MultiversX ecosystem. What’s Next? Hatom Pulse As Hatom grows, our focus remains on pushing DeFi boundaries while expanding across multiple ecosystems. Although this update doesn’t include a full roadmap—that will come later—our priority is clear: expanding Hatom across chains. To stand out in the competitive DeFi landscape, we’re committed to developing standout products. With that in mind, we’re excited to give you an exclusive preview of one of our most innovative products in development: Hatom Pulse. Over-collateralized non-custodial lending protocols, liquid staking, and over-collateralized stablecoins already exist on #Ethereum. What sets us apart is the synergy between these components within a unified ecosystem. By integrating these pillars, we tackle capital inefficiencies, allowing one protocol to enhance strategies that benefit the others, maximizing returns across the board. For example, when USH is minted, it means that EGLD is deposited, liquid-staked, and supplied in the lending protocol—all three protocols working in harmony. Hatom Pulse will elevate this synergy to another level, solving key issues faced by Aave, Compound Labs , and other leading protocols. We believe this innovation will be pivotal as we work to gain market share while expanding cross-chain. Our proof of concept will be deployed and battle-tested on #MultiversX, but the real growth will come when we scale this to markets that are thousands of times larger. This will be a turning point for Hatom. So, what is Hatom Pulse? On Hatom, like on Aave and other leading lending protocols, the largest assets used as collateral are often not borrowed, leading to substantial revenue loss for the protocol. This also results in very low income on the supply side, as borrowing fees depend on utilization rates, which only increase when borrowing activity rises. Generally, lending protocols are used to provide assets for borrowing stablecoins or for leveraging liquid staking strategies. This inefficiency locks up billions of dollars in dormant assets, and users earn very low supply rates on their collateral, which doesn’t help offset their loan interest. Hatom Pulse is designed to address these inefficiencies by leveraging the synergy between our existing products. It creates sophisticated vaults that activate dormant assets, unlocking advanced yield opportunities through a delta-neutral strategy. By utilizing assets like $EGLD, $sEGLD, $wTAO, and $swTAO, Hatom Pulse enables users to engage in delta-neutral strategies, where we long and short these assets on (CEXs), earning funding rates and staking rewards while keeping their assets intact. (The exact strategy, along with all the details, will be shared once USH is fully established). Initially, these vaults will operate on CEXs, where liquidity is highest, and will be managed through custodians like Copper.co to mitigate counterparty risks. Later, we plan to extend this to DEXs where all operations will be governed by smart contracts, ensuring full decentralization. serves as a strong proof of concept for us in this regard. However, our strategy will differ, as our focus will be on protecting the unit value, rather than the dollar value. Although Hatom Pulse is still in its research phase, early estimates suggest that this product alone could generate over 18% annual returns on $EGLD and more than 35% on $wTAO, with what we believe to be minimal risk. It’s important to note that these figures reflect current metrics based on internal calculations and may slightly differ upon product launch. But imagine reaching this on #Ethereum, while allowing users to borrow using their assets—this could be a disruptive protocol. We believe Hatom Pulse has the potential to become a cornerstone product as we transition into an omni-chain future. In a competitive DeFi landscape, it could give us a significant edge by offering something truly groundbreaking, capable of competing with well-established protocols across various chains. This strategy represents immense untapped potential. Hatom Pulse is being developed for risk-averse users who seek higher returns without excessive risk. By addressing inefficiencies in current DeFi strategies, we aim to offer a secure, robust option for yield generation that could rival established protocols. It's been an intense year for our team, and we sincerely thank the community for their patience, trust, and unwavering support as we've worked hard to build and deliver these groundbreaking products. As Hatom's omni-chain expansion nears, we remain focused on improving our existing products and researching new innovations to stay ahead in this competitive market. Our goal is to build a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem, accessible across all blockchains. With USH approaching its Mainnet release, we're proud of how our products have reshaped the DeFi landscape on MultiversX. By filling key gaps in the on-chain economy, we've created opportunities for users to generate yield, unlock the potential of decentralized finance, and provide strong utility for EGLD. In just over a year, we’ve built a strong ecosystem, but this is only the beginning. We’re ready to go even further, developing better products and unlocking new opportunities for our users. We’ll share more about our expansion plans in a dedicated post, staying focused on what matters most. Rest assured, what’s coming will be truly impressive for Hatom and our growing community!

🚨“THEY USED THE KIDS”: Inside NYC’s Migrant Underground — Theft Rings, Fake Families, Forced Labor & Trafficking Allegations By Leeroy Johnson Behind the chaos of New York City’s migrant crisis lies a disturbing truth — migrant children are being exploited, and almost no one wants to talk about it. Through video footage I captured, interviews with hotel and shelter staff, and tips from law enforcement sources, a pattern of manipulation, abuse, and trafficking has emerged. And yet, many continue to look the other way. 🔴 Toddlers Involved in Shoplifting Rings I personally filmed NYPD officers arresting migrant shoplifting crews who used children — some as young as three years old — to help carry out the thefts. These kids were used to conceal stolen goods or distract store workers. 🔴 Minors Used in Pickpocket Crews In crowded public areas, migrant children have been observed working alongside adult pickpockets. Some children were actively removing items from people’s bags and pockets — others were used as distractions or lookouts. 🔴 Children “Rented Out” for Begging — With Reports of Abuse Staff from multiple shelters reported that some migrant children were passed between adults to beg on the streets or go door-to-door asking for money. One troubling case at the Roosevelt Hotel involved a child who was reportedly harmed after being entrusted to an adult acquaintance. Staff members expressed concern about the lack of oversight and accountability. 🔴 “Recycling” Children to Gain Shelter Access According to hotel staff, some adults falsely claimed unrelated children as their own to repeatedly qualify for free rooms. This tactic — known among insiders as “recycling” kids — was reportedly common and in some cases overlooked by staff. 🔴 Underage Migrants Used in Gang Violence NYPD sources told me that older gang members were using underage migrants to commit robberies, slashings, and assaults — exploiting the fact that minors face reduced legal consequences. These youth were being used to carry out violent acts for adult gang members. 🔴 Forced Labor Involving Very Young Children Credible reports indicate that migrant children as young as 3 to 6 years old were seen working in parts of NYC — helping adults with street vending, deliveries, and other labor. Some sources described this as a form of modern-day exploitation. 🔴 Allegations of Inappropriate Recordings Involving Minors Hotel staff shared disturbing allegations that some underage boys had brought younger girls — also believed to be minors — into hotel rooms. Staff feared that exploitative material was being recorded, but say it was never properly investigated. 🔴 Claims of Underage Human Trafficking Inside Hotels Perhaps the most serious claim: multiple hotel staff members alleged underage human trafficking was happening within hotel shelters. They described seeing minors being moved in and out by adults who appeared to have no legitimate guardianship — and said they reported these patterns but were ignored. ❗ For some reason, no one wants to talk about these issues involving migrant children — not even open-border activists, who have stayed silent about the harm these kids are facing. Some city officials still refuse to acknowledge that children have been hurt during this crisis — despite the growing evidence from those on the ground. This story is based on real footage, firsthand accounts, and trusted insider sources. It is not speculation . For licensing email [email protected]

U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 United States Subject: Urgent Appeal for Intervention: Lynching of Christian Lazer Nazir Masih in Sargodha, Pakistan Dear Secretary of State, Secretary Antony Blinken I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a tragic and deeply disturbing incident that occurred on May 25, 2024, in Sargodha, Pakistan. Lazer Nazir Masih, an innocent Christian, was brutally lynched in broad daylight by a mob of Muslim Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan perpetrators on false blasphemy. This horrifying event underscores the persistent and escalating hatred against Christians in Pakistan, an issue that has been prevalent for centuries. The lynching of Lazer Nazir Masih not only highlights the severity of religious intolerance in Pakistan but also exposes the state's complicity in these atrocities. Eyewitness accounts reveal that women were actively chanting and leading the mob in the looting and killing of Nazir's family. This incident reflects a broader pattern of systematic persecution and violence against the Christian minority in Pakistan. Adding to the outrage, the Government of Pakistan's response to this incident has been deeply troubling. Lazer Nazir Masih was reportedly taken to a military hospital, a decision that raises serious questions about the intentions of the authorities. The government has also prevented Nazir's family from visiting him, fueling suspicions that he has already succumbed to his injuries and that the authorities are concealing his death to protect the perpetrators and obscure the truth. It is with a heavy heart that I must state my belief that Lazer Nazir Masih is already dead, and the Pakistani government is engaged in a deceitful cover-up. This despicable ruse aims to shield the assailants from justice and perpetuate the ongoing conspiracy against Christians in Pakistan. Given the gravity of this situation, I urge the U.S. Department of State to: 1.Condemn this heinous act of violence and demand justice for Lazer Nazir Masih and his family. the Government of Pakistan to conduct a transparent and impartial investigation into the lynching and the subsequent handling of the case. for the immediate release of accurate information regarding the condition of Lazer Nazir Masih and grant his family access to him. 4.Advocate for stronger protections for religious minorities in Pakistan to prevent such tragedies from recurring. The international community, particularly the United States, has a moral obligation to speak out against religious persecution and to support efforts to ensure justice and human rights for all individuals, regardless of their faith. The plight of Christians in Pakistan is dire, and immediate action is necessary to address this crisis. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and action to help bring justice to Lazer Nazir Masih and his family. Sincerely, Faraz Pervaiz

I would not wish ill health or death on anyone, including my enemies, unless I was genuinely in mortal fear for my own life. But let's be straight about this. Politicians can post their deepest sympathies, families can insist they were “good boys”, and social media can produce all the usual excuses. None of that means the rest of us have to rewrite reality. Driving a car at high speed the wrong way down a motorway, knowing innocent people could be coming towards you at 120 km/h, isn't normal driving and it isn't some innocent mistake. It is an extraordinarily reckless decision that could have killed an entirely innocent family. Does that mean I think they deserved to die? No. Do I take pleasure in their deaths? No. But I'm also not going to pretend that people repeatedly involved in serious criminality are “little angels” simply because they're dead. If the newspaper reports about their previous activities and encounters with Gardaí are accurate, they were far from angels. They were thugs whose behaviour should have resulted in meaningful intervention long before things reached this point. And yes, I'll use another unfashionable expression: Live by the sword, die by the sword. Not because I'm celebrating anybody's death, but because repeatedly choosing extreme risk, violence and criminality eventually has consequences. Tragically, sometimes those consequences are irreversible. Maybe I'm getting old. Maybe I'm becoming intolerant. But when I was growing up, there were consequences for our actions. Thankfully my parents never hit me, but discipline existed. We got the rod in school I can still remember it drying beside the paraffin heater and the strap was used in secondary school, although I missed most of that. I'm not suggesting we start beating children again. But where exactly did we go from discipline and personal responsibility to being terrified of telling children NO? When did participation become more important than achievement? When did allowing children to run around shops and restaurants like little maniacs become enlightened parenting? When I was young, if you behaved like that, your parents dealt with you. You quickly learned that other people existed and that your behaviour affected them. Manners and respect are free commodities. When I hear children telling their own parents to “f*** off”, I wonder what they're going to be like as adults. If that's the respect they have for the people who brought them into the world, fed them, clothed them and cared for them, what respect are they going to have for a teacher, Garda, employer or complete stranger? Then we wonder why workplaces increasingly need chill-out spaces and “mental health days” because ordinary pressures become too much. In my day we respected our bosses, did the job we were employed to do and were happy to have a job. Yes, society has changed, and some of those changes were unquestionably for the better. But removing consequences wasn't one of them. And I'm going to use another expression that will undoubtedly upset people: Feral scumbags. Because when young people are repeatedly stealing cars, carrying knives or machetes, attacking people and terrorising neighbourhoods, I'm considerably more interested in protecting their victims than finding another fashionable euphemism for their behaviour. And yes, perhaps we need to discuss bringing back industrial schools. Before somebody deliberately misunderstands that sentence, I don't mean resurrecting the religious institutions, brutality or abuse associated with parts of that system. I mean the basic principle of removing persistent young offenders from the streets and putting them into secure residential institutions with discipline, education, vocational training and consequences. If you're 16 or 17 and repeatedly terrorising a community, perhaps knowing that you're facing several years in a secure institution followed by the adult criminal justice system if you continue offending after 18 might make you think twice. Because whatever we're doing now clearly isn't frightening some of these young offenders. Young lads can apparently parade knives and machetes on social media as though they're fashion accessories. Communities are terrorised. People accumulate conviction after conviction. And I have seen an example of the attitude I'm talking about with my own eyes. I had reason to attend court in Loughrea, Co. Galway, around this time last year. There were three young offenders in the dock, one of them flanked by two prison officers. I was sitting in the public gallery immediately behind the legal teams. When this individual spotted me, he apparently decided that making disparaging remarks about me would be great entertainment. He laughed. He jeered. It was all great craic. What struck me particularly was how relaxed the whole thing appeared. He was joking with the prison officers beside him and, from where I was sitting, they appeared to be laughing along with some of it. The judge lost patience with him on two occasions. It didn't appear to bother him in the slightest. I obviously cannot know what was going through his head, but the impression he gave me was that he believed he was untouchable. What stayed with me wasn't the insults themselves. I've heard considerably worse. It was the complete lack of respect for the court, the judge and everyone around him. When the court adjourned for lunch, I couldn't resist a little dig of my own: “Where are we going for lunch? I really fancy a steak. I wonder what the prisoners get?” That wiped away some of the laughter. His response was to start shouting abuse at me, including calling me a “f*ing f**t”. Charming. I walked away thinking that if somebody can stand in a courtroom, in front of a judge, flanked by prison officers, and still behave as though the entire proceedings are a joke, what exactly is supposed to deter him when he's back outside? I doubt that scene was unique to one courtroom in Galway. And everybody waits for the inevitable tragedy. Then, when it finally happens, politicians express shock and sympathy and everyone asks how this could possibly have happened. Perhaps we should start asking that question before somebody dies. Call me old-fashioned. Call me intolerant. Call me whatever you like. I believe in manners. I believe in respect. I believe in personal responsibility. I believe in rehabilitation. And I believe in consequences. Because allowing feral scumbags to terrorise communities without meaningful consequences isn't compassion. It's abandoning their victims and ultimately abandoning the offenders themselves. Live by the sword, die by the sword. It's an old saying for a reason.

**Doris Yin Speech at China Guizhou Zunyi GCV Barter Conference** Hello to the community leaders, GCV ambassadors, merchants, and pioneers of GCV Guizhou in China! Today is January 12, 2025, marking the first GCV Barter Conference in China in New Year and the 13th Barter Conference overall. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the organizers of this conference, the Guizhou Zunyi GCV Community, and the co-organizers, Barter Huishang (Guizhou) Digital Economy Industry Group Co., Ltd. I also want to acknowledge the following GCV ambassadors for their active dedication and contributions to this conference: **GCV Ambassador of China:** - Yang Zhizhong - Cai Zaiqiao **Ambassadors of Guizhou Province GCV:** - Wang Shiqiong - Cai Weisheng - Guo Jiaqing **Zunyi GCV Ambassadors:** - Wang Jianbo - Luo Nanlu **GCV ambassadors at the district and county level in Zunyi City** Additionally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to our numerous GCV merchants and sponsors. Without your support, we would not have been able to hold such a grand and large-scale event. Today's gathering in Zunyi, a sacred site of the revolution, reminds me of the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March. Their perseverance and sacrifice continue to inspire us. The Zunyi Conference took place from January 15 to 17, 1935, and exactly 90 years later, we are gathered here today. The defining characteristics of the Zunyi Conference included the commitment to uphold the truth, correct mistakes, establish the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee, and creatively develop and implement strategies that fit the nature of the Chinese revolution. Today, our Zunyi Conference will also be recorded in the history of blockchain, as every effort you have put in has contributed to building a strong network ecosystem. Our partial fiat and partial distribution policy serves as a solution for the rapid development of the ecosystem during the closed mainnet of the Pi Network. As we all know, the first quarter of this year will bring about the successful mainnet launch of Pi Network. After six long years of challenges and perseverance, all of our pioneers will have the opportunity to witness this significant historical moment. What an exciting and proud day this will be! It has not been easy for everyone to persist through these six years; it requires great blessings, unwavering faith, and the courage to overcome difficulties. Today, our pioneers in Zunyi, Guizhou Province, gathering for this GCV barter conference holds great significance. I see that ten companies are providing products for barter, with nine companies, including Guizhou Meitan County Daoqin Hospital and Barter Huishang (Guizhou) Digital Economy Industry Group Co., Ltd., sponsoring this event. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you. The GCV Barter Conference serves multiple purposes. It is not only about creating GCV data or demonstrating the strength of our China region to CT, but also about showing how closely we align with their vision and mission. Additionally, it provides robust evidence for a substantial number of KYC and migration initiatives in China. More importantly, what we do today aims to boost China’s future economic development. Once the main network of the Pi Network is launched, we anticipate a significant demand for Chinese products from numerous international pioneers, which will in turn generate a large volume of export orders. At the same time, there will be international merchants looking to export their products to China. Once OM, import and export transactions will be conducted using the new currency, facilitating the vision of a stable currency and enabling seamless and reliable exchanges with fiat currency. Therefore, the merchants who engage now will have the advantage of being early adopters. The Pi Network offers a partner program and a MapofPi program. To participate in the partnership, businesses are required to have a company website. We invite businesses with websites to join us. However, if you do not have a company website, you can still join the Mapofpi program, which encompasses a wide range of industries, allowing participation from both large companies and small traders. Registration for the Mapofpi does not require a business license or website; various entities including shops, hospitals, schools, hair salons, accounting firms, law firms, restaurants, and hotels are welcome to register. Please select an active merchant and support GCV at $314,159. Prior to the OM launch, it is advisable to use partial fiat currency and partial Pi to ensure that merchants can cover their costs and fulfill their tax obligations. Recently, on January 9, we established the China GCV Industry Chain Alliance, which aims to create an industrial chain that facilitates the circulation of Pi among merchants, thereby reducing the burden of exchanging fiat currency after OM. During the enclosed mainnet, you can assist merchants in registering as Pi Network Partners and Mapofpi . Ms. Lumari is our Global GCV CT executive director and her goal is to have 200,000 registered Mapofpi merchants worldwide. My personal target is to reach 100,000 registered merchants in China alone. This goal is achievable given the over 58 million enterprises and more than 20 million pioneers in China. If we can effectively convey that Pi Network WEB 3.0 blockchain technology will significantly enhance human productivity and that the business opportunities from accepting partial Pi and partial FIAT during the 60 days before OM will present numerous benefits and minimal risks to merchants, then it is likely that no merchant will be unfavorably surprised by the initiative. This strategy offers a multitude of advantages with virtually no downsides. Furthermore, it benefits pioneers by allowing them to transfer purchasing power to the community and minimize fiat currency expenses in their daily life. Consequently, the GCV data we generate will significantly benefit the Chinese pioneers, as a large number of registered merchants can transform the China region from a high-risk area to a safe zone. Not only can this region be promoted to a VIP area, which would enjoy expedited KYC and mapping processes, but it will also allow pioneers and merchants to thrive together in our ecosystem. This collaboration will enhance the prosperity of our country and empower the China region to contribute to the welfare of communities worldwide. Once OM, it will play a crucial role in the economic development of both China and the world. If you pay attention to our migrartion speed, you might have noticed that it has slowed down recently. From December 17th to around the 30th, the migrating speed was over 50,000 to 100,000 per day, but now it has dropped to just over 10,000. What is the reason for this decline? If it was previously possible to migrate over 100,000 per day, why has it changed? The CT has stated that they will OM until the first quarter of this year to bring the migratiion in line with KYC amounts. However, if it's technically feasible to achieve a higher migration speed, why isn’t it being done? The answer is quite simple: it depends on what everyone does with the Pi after such large migration numbers. If pioneers rush to buy and sell, hold onto their Pi coins, or trade at low value, it will impact the speed and efficiency of the next migration in these regions. This principle is not only theoretically valid but has proven true in practice. For instance, countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia have a solid educational foundation in GCV. Most pioneers there are highly aware of the risks involved in participating in the black market, which allows them to generate a substantial amount of GCV data. As a result, their migration speed is notably fast, and there are many large wallet migrated. To help the CT regain momentum, we all need to cooperate. Engage with the migrated Pi and participate in the GCV barter ecosystem. Be cautious of individuals who aim to deceive you for personal gain; devaluing the Pi often serves as a tactic to exchange something small for your valuable treasure. It's crucial to educate pioneers about the true value of what they hold and encourage them to avoid dishonest practices. I urge everyone to actively participate in partial Pi and partial FIAT barter. The more GCV data we generate, the more secure our wallets will be. Therefore, it's important for everyone to read and share the Pioneer Handbook I wrote which has been translated into 30 languages to raise awareness among pioneers. By learning from the Pioneer Handbook and participating in GCV bartering, we can improve China's migration efforts and foster ecological development. This stability can ensure that the value of our Pi endures for future generations, rather than becoming worthless in a few years. Wouldn't that be something we want to preserve for our children and grandchildren? Today's message is lengthy but very important, and I hope you take the time to understand it. I wish our Guizhou Zunyi Conference great success! Thank you to all GCV Ambassadors, Merchants, and Pioneers for your incredible support! Your efforts today are planting the seeds for a prosperous future, and I hope you find safety and fulfillment in the days to come. May your wishes come true! Wishing you health and happiness! Let’s work together to create a better future! I also hope you all have a joyful Chinese New Year! Doris Yin 🪷🪷🪷 Founder, Global GCV Movement January 12, 2025

As we prepare to launch several projects, we're eager to provide a general update to our community. We are steadily approaching our end goal, thanks to the daily progress we're making toward our vision. Achieving our objectives will bring about a significant transformation in cross-chain interoperability and the flow of liquidity within protocols. This will address crucial challenges and drive mass adoption. Our future-focused approach and effective team collaboration keep us moving forward in an organized manner. Let’s delve deeper into the state of development of our current products and upcoming projects. Tao Bridge Starting with the Tao Bridge, which enables the #Bittensor community to unlock DeFi opportunities with their $TAO via a highly efficient blockchain like #MultiversX, known for its security, speed, and affordability. We deeply admire #Bittensor and believe a project like that is crucial for the future of not just the crypto space but also humanity, as it addresses the major challenges AI faces today: centralization, siloed and isolated work, which pose risks and hinder the technology's potential. We are committed to the vision of subnets and dynamic $TAO, convinced that this ecosystem is as groundbreaking as #Ethereum or #Bitcoin. We will continue to support #Bittensor wherever possible, and our bridge will also expand to other chains with Hatom V2. The TAO Bridge, deployed on and accessible through will launch on the Mainnet in 14 days, on March 27th. You can follow the countdown on the lending page at Given that our main priorities are security and stability, this period will be primarily focused on quality assurance to ensure a flawless Mainnet launch. The launch will also introduce TAO Liquid Staking at along with the integration of both $wTAO and $swTAO on the lending page. This allows #Bittensor users to leverage liquid stake, employ short or long strategies, among other DeFi strategies, or simply access stablecoin liquidity while maintaining exposure to their $TAO. Up to $1M will be distributed as additional incentives on top of the supply APYs at the launch of the $wTAO and $swTAO money markets, with $200K allocated for the first month specifically for bootstrapping. Initially, 70% of rewards will go to liquidity providers, and 30% to those using $HTM to boost their lending positions. This changes to a 50-50 split in the second month, and by the third month, all incentives are directed through the Booster. This approach encourages early participation and sustained engagement with $HTM. Introducing $TAO to #MultiversX will result in the creation of Liquidity Pools (LPs) on both AshSwap 🔥 and xExchange ⚡. These LPs will be incentivized by both entities, and Hatom will distribute extra rewards at launch. The goal is to make #MultiversX a one-stop hub for $TAO holders. Upon stabilizing the volumes, there will also be plans to integrate it on AshPerp 🔥. Furthermore, with the release of $USH, users will have the ability to mint it while retaining exposure to their $TAO. The TAO Bridge and TAO Liquid Staking smart contracts have been audited by Runtime Vеrification and @arda_project, while penetration testing and DevSecOps have been performed on our infrastructure by CertiK. We're excited to announce our exclusive partnership with TAONEW one of the top 5 validators on #Bittensor. TAONEW has been extremely helpful and supportive from day one. By sharing 50% of its service fee with its stakers, TAONEW enables Hatom to offer an optimized Staking APY to its users. Since our initial reference, #Bittensor has grown sevenfold, becoming the largest AI project in the crypto sphere. We reiterate our commitment to contribute to such technology and hope to address some of its current DeFi challenges. Syfy Moving forward, today marks a significant milestone, not only for our decentralized protocols but also for our development companies, which currently stand as the sole and primary contributors to the Hatom Labs and Soul Labs. We’re excited to unveil Syfy, the evolved identity of Hatom Labs and Soul Labs, now serving as the parent entity for our burgeoning development companies. Organization is crucial for scalability, which is why Syfy was established to cultivate an environment where our teams can collaborate more seamlessly, enhancing our effectiveness and efficiency. At the same time, we remain committed to upholding the financial independence of each project, supported by its own community of funding contributors. Feel free to explore our website at for more information! Additionally, don't forget to follow Syfy and explore their Genesis article highlighted in their initial post: Booster V2 The Booster V2 will introduce a range of new features and opportunities for $HTM holders: Optimized Position Boosting: Previously, boosting was done individually for each money market, necessitating $HTM token distribution and periodic rebalancing due to price fluctuations. With Booster V2, the system now considers the overall position, eliminating the need for manual rebalancing. Gas Fee Reduction: Booster V2 implements optimizations that result in reduced gas fees, making transactions more cost-effective for users. Incorporation of Governance: Users staking $HTM tokens gain voting rights directly within the Booster, allowing them to participate in governance decisions while maintaining their staked positions. (Note: Only $HTM tokens are considered for governance; LP tokens are not included.) Enhanced Boosting Mechanism: The Booster V2 enables LP Tokens to boost positions within the Booster, leveraging trading fees from swaps and farm incentives while boosting lending positions. Smart Contract Completion: The Booster smart contract has been completed and audited by @arda_project, ensuring security and reliability. Frontend Implementation: The frontend design for Booster V2 has been successfully implemented, providing users with an intuitive interface. Collaboration with xExchange: Exploration is ongoing for collaboration with xExchange ⚡ to enable LP creation, farming, and meta-staking within the Booster. Upon finalization of testing, we will launch the Booster V2 on the devnet to gather community feedback and begin preparations for the mainnet release. Soul Before delving into Soul Labs's developments, it's essential to summarize its core functionality briefly: Soul Labs seamlessly connects different lending protocols and blockchains, facilitating lending and borrowing across platforms like Aave, Compound Labs, and Hatom Labs, consolidating liquidity and users' borrowing capabilities. Utilizing LayerZero Labs and other messaging layers for cross-chain communication, Soul Labs bypasses asset bridging or synthetics, unlocking novel DeFi strategies and solidifying its position as the ultimate solution for cross-lending dilemmas. Soul V1 will be permissionless, holding censorship-resistant features, incorporating multiple redundancy mechanisms, and providing support for various DApps. We're thrilled to announce that, following the launch of the Tao Bridge in 2-3 weeks, we will introduce the Soul Labs website. This platform has been meticulously crafted over 250 days to not only provide a comprehensive overview of our vision but also to offer an engaging and captivating experience that promises to be memorable. Regarding the app, significant progress has been made on the V1 protocol, including: Smart Contract Development and Testing: • Completion of the initial phase of smart contract development. • Conducting advanced testing to ensure the system's robustness. • Establishment of a fully functional proof of concept. Successful deployment and testing on the #Goerli (#Ethereum Testnet) and #Mumbai (#Polygon Testnet), leveraging LayerZero Labs for seamless operation. Feature Enhancement and Protocol Optimization: • Enhanced testing procedures to bolster system resilience. • Integration of advanced features and significant code refactoring for optimization. • Incorporation of various communication methods, including LayerZero Labs, Formerly Axelar, now at @axelar, Chainlink CCIP), and wormholecrypto, into Soul Labs framework, enhancing its resilience and flexibility. This allows Soul Labs to maintain operation through alternative protocols if the primary one is temporarily paused. Website Development and Documentation: • Nearing the completion of the v1 app, with final touches being applied. • The preparation of comprehensive V1 documentation and the Yellow Paper, available upon Soul Labs's public launch, offering detailed insights into the platform's infrastructure and capabilities. USH Recognizing the critical need for stable liquidity within the ecosystem, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of providing a solution by introducing $USH, the first native, decentralized, and over-collateralized stablecoin on #MultiversX. As market conditions have improved, we have observed a growing demand for stablecoins in the ecosystem, evidenced by the utilization rate in the Lending Protocol spiking to over 90% several times in recent months. Therefore, our goal is to tackle the current challenges faced by users by creating a robust product that will not only help them hedge against market volatility but also open up better opportunities to trade the markets and generate yield. We're happy to unveil the $USH website, now live with a sleek and intuitive user interface, designed for ease of use, which ensures that interacting with the protocol is straightforward and accessible for all. You can access it now through this link: For the technical side, we’re advancing steadily and we’ve accomplished the following milestones: Lending Protocol Facilitator: • Coded the first version to support multiple discount factors for different collaterals. • Implemented tracking of borrowing effectiveness to enable earnings forecasting for the module and support minting processes. Isolated Pools Facilitator: • Coded the first version of Isolated Pools Facilitator. • Use of $EGLD or $sEGLD as collateral, with positions stored always in $EGLD to benefit the protocol through Liquid Staking and lending interest. • Virtual account implementation for converting $sEGLD earnings into $USH, functioning like liquidation where users deposit $USH for a higher amount of $HsELGD. Staking Module • Coded the first version of the Staking Module that allows users to stake and unstake without any restrictions. We're currently focusing our efforts on the following tasks: • Implementation of HTM Booster in the discount model in the Lending Protocol. • Implementation of different depeg strategies and brainstorming further potential “soft” depeg mechanisms. • Research and implementation of rewards model for Staking Module. • Research and implementation of Boosted Vaults Facilitator. • Review and stress-test the first version of the code. Upon launch, $USH will be integrated into various protocols and AMMs across the ecosystem, further increasing both its utility and liquidity. The opportunities will be vast, enabling users to engage in a wide range of activities such as yield farming, staking, and arbitrage, all while leveraging a stable and reliable asset. Regarding the USH Airdrop campaign, it will continue until the official launch of $USH planned for late Q2-early Q3, rewarding all users who have actively participated in the initiative. Hatom V2 It is clear by now that we are driven to build a more robust, interoperable, and secure DeFi space, removing the current barriers that hinder users' capabilities to seamlessly interact with different blockchains. Through Hatom V2, we will introduce Hatom's cross-chain architecture, designed from the ground up for interoperability. This approach will elevate the protocol to unprecedented levels, enabling its deployment across various blockchains and facilitating seamless connections between them through Soul. By enhancing interoperability, Hatom V2 aims to foster a more inclusive and accessible ecosystem. This expansion will not only broaden the protocol's reach but also significantly increase its flexibility and utility, allowing users to interact with a diverse range of assets and products across different chains. We’re thrilled to share that we are currently crafting the V2 redesign of the Hatom webpage. Anticipate a jaw-dropping transformation that will truly astonish, blending cutting-edge design with an unparalleled user experience, elevating it to a dynamic, interactive hub, and making every interaction more engaging. Good things take time, but we are confident that the release of V2 website will take place in the second quarter of this year and will officially mark the start of our journey into the cross-chain landscape. We are excited about the future and we truly believe that this will mark the beginning of a new era for Hatom. It's crucial for us to develop rapidly without sacrificing the quality or the security of each product. We're strategically allocating resources to ensure smooth progress in every area of our work. As we push forward, we believe that the launch of Soul Labs will be the most important milestone due to its massive potential and disruptive technology. We would like to thank you all for the unwavering support you've shown over the past few months; it truly fuels our passion to push daily and make strides toward achieving our ambitious goals.

Inside Kenya’s Multi-Million Smuggling Web: KRA Officials, Dual Citizen in High-Stakes Tax Evasion Syndicate A major tax evasion and smuggling scandal is unfolding in Kenya, placing senior officials from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) under intense scrutiny alongside a Kenyan–US dual citizen accused of orchestrating a sophisticated contraband network that could expose deep-rooted weaknesses in the country’s customs enforcement systems. According to sources familiar with the investigation, detectives from Interpol have launched a probe into an elaborate scheme involving the importation and illegal clearance of goods into the Kenyan market. The operation allegedly exploited loopholes within customs systems and involved collusion with insiders, pointing to what investigators fear could be a well-organized cartel operating across borders. The mastermind, Peter Mwaniki Maina, is now on the police radar alongside his second wife, Stacy Wangari Njiri. Njiri is believed to be the key figure handling the local operations of the syndicate both have been advertising the company Arisilva logistics on different social media outlets. She reportedly resides along the posh Kiambu Road in a house allegedly purchased by Mr. Maina, from where authorities suspect coordination of logistics, storage, and distribution of the smuggled goods has been taking place. How the Scheme Allegedly Worked Investigations reveal that a suspicious container—number MAGU5438993 was cleared through the Compact Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Nairobi under questionable circumstances. The clearance is said to have been facilitated by senior KRA officials within the verification department, raising serious concerns about internal controls and possible compromise of key clearance procedures. However, in a dramatic twist, internal whistleblowers within KRA reportedly leaked the irregularities to the Commissioner General’s office. Acting swiftly, enforcement officers tracked and seized the container while it was being offloaded at Viken Thirty Industrial Park in Kamakis, Nairobi an operation that insiders describe as a “near miss” in stopping what could have been a massive circulation of contraband into the Kenyan economy. Authorities say the shipment, valued at millions of shillings, contained undeclared goods. Even more alarming are suspicions that the consignment may have included counterfeit products and possibly illicit substances, widening the scope of the investigation from tax evasion to potential public health and safety risks. A Growing Pattern of Smuggling Through Kenyan Ports This case highlights a broader and persistent challenge facing Kenya’s trade and border control systems. The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), particularly the Port of Mombasa, has long been identified as a critical entry point vulnerable to contraband smuggling despite increased surveillance and digitization efforts. Over the years, authorities have intercepted a wide range of illegal imports, including: * Counterfeit electronics and textiles flooding local markets and undermining legitimate businesses * Untaxed luxury goods falsely declared as household items to evade customs duties * Restricted pharmaceuticals and narcotics posing serious health and security threats * Vehicles imported under the “returning residents” scheme using falsified documentation Experts note that criminal networks often exploit tax exemptions, insider collusion, and weak verification mechanisms. In some cases, forged passports are used to falsely qualify for tax waivers, while bribery within clearance chains enables goods to pass undetected through official systems. The Alleged Mastermind At the center of the investigation is a Kenyan national with dual US citizenship, accused of running a highly coordinated smuggling ring with both international and local linkages. Detectives believe the suspect used fake identities and manipulated the “returning residents” tax exemption scheme to evade millions in taxes while maintaining a low profile behind legitimate-looking business operations. Authorities further allege that close associates, including Njiri, played a crucial role in logistics overseeing the deconsolidation, storage, and redistribution of goods into local markets. Social media platforms were also reportedly used to promote a logistics company linked to the network, helping to mask illicit operations under the guise of legitimate trade. A Potential Transnational Crime Case Investigators now believe the case could extend far beyond Kenya’s borders, describing it as a possible multinational smuggling syndicate with links to international supply chains. The involvement of Interpol signals the seriousness of the probe and raises the likelihood of coordinated cross-border arrests and asset tracing. If proven, the suspects could face serious charges under international law, including tax fraud, organized crime, and trafficking of illegal goods offenses that carry heavy penalties and could trigger extradition proceedings.
