#Crypto #Cryptocurrencies #Scam #Tether #China #Cambodia #SlaveLabor: "I’d been hearing rumors about illicit uses of Tether—I’d seen court documents containing intercepted messages from a Russian money launderer promoting it to his clients, for one thing—but pig butchering was the most concrete example I found. People around the world really were losing huge sums of money to the con. A project finance lawyer in Boston with terminal cancer handed over $2.5 million. A divorced mother of three in St. Louis was defrauded of $5 million. And the victims I spoke to all told me they’d been told to use Tether, the same coin Vicky suggested to me. Rich Sanders, the lead investigator at CipherBlade, a crypto-tracing firm, said that at least $10 billion had been lost to crypto romance scams.

The huge sums involved weren’t the most shocking part. I learned that whoever was posing as Vicky was likely a victim as well—of human trafficking. Most pig-butchering operations were orchestrated by Chinese gangsters based in Cambodia or Myanmar. They’d lure young people from across Southeast Asia to move abroad with the promise of well-paying jobs in customer service or online gambling. Then, when the workers arrived, they’d be held captive and forced into a criminal racket.

Thousands have been tricked this way. Entire office towers are filled with floor after floor of people sending spam messages around the clock, under threat of torture or death. With the assistance of translators, I started video chatting with people who’d escaped."

it’s hard to see von Braun’s transition from #Nazi rocketeer to American #hero as anything less than astonishing. After helping the U.S. #Army develop its #ballisticmissileprogram, he took a position in the newly established civilian space agency, #NASA, in 1960

Today In Labor History April 8, 1911: 128 convict miners, mostly African-Americans jailed for minor offenses, were killed by a massive explosion at the Banner coalmine near Birmingham, Alabama. While the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which occurred just two weeks earlier, elicited massive public attention and support for the plight of immigrant women working in sweatshop conditions, the Banner explosion garnered almost no public sympathy, probably due to racism and the fact that they were prisoners.

BTW *IF* you're offended by what Tyson Foods is doing w/ child labour... feel free to boycott their brands, eh. Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Sara Lee, etc., etc., etc. https://www.tysonfoods.com/our-brands #childlabor #slavelabor #USA #tysonfoods

"This month, after young children were found working at a factory owned by Arkansas’s second-largest private employer, Tyson Foods, the Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, signed legislation making it easier for companies to employ children – eliminating a requirement that children under 16 get a state work permit before being employed."

@VW says it's opposed to the use of forced labour so why is the company using suppliers that are highly likely to be using Uyghur forced labour? Tell @VW @WeAreJL to stop profiting from the one of the biggest human rights crimes of the century http://sumof.us/795423629t?referring_akid=119458.2342095.ohkup2&referring_source=fwd

@GottaLaff Slave labor abusing underage kids in the country of Eleanor Roosevelt, the outspoken, brilliant proponent of the Declaration of Human Rights.
It's disgraceful - for the abusers of underage children!
