Groom goes to fetch water while bride flees away with money and jewels

After marriage, you may have seen brides flirting with their husbands many times, but never seen them imitating an Indian movie bride where they escape with cash and jewels belonging to their grooms and in-laws.

According to foreign media reports, a wife in the Mainpuri district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh stole all the jewellery and cash from the in-laws under the pretext of asking for water from the husband.

The marriage of a man named Raju was arranged by a third person last month. Before the marriage, the girl’s family made a condition in front of Raju’s family that their daughter would be married to Raju only when he pays 80,000 Indian rupees to the family.

According to the report, Raju’s family had not been able to find a girl for a long time, so they agreed to this condition. Later, their marriage went well.

On the occasion of the wedding, the groom’s family also arranged clothes, jewellery and many gifts for the daughter-in-law. After the farewell, Raju boarded the bus to take his wife to his house.

Arriving at a bus stand, the bride told Raju that she was thirsty. As Raju went to fetch water for his wife, the bride fled with money and jewels.

Raju later filed a fraud case against the bride and her family.

Dogecoin co-creator Jackson Palmer condemns Cryptocurrency

Jackson Palmer

Jackson Palmer, the co-creator of Dogecoin, has criticized the cryptocurrency sector, calling it ‘inherently right-wing’, ‘hyper-capitalistic’ technology.

He slammed Bitcoin in a series of tweets. The Dogecoin co-founder wrote, “After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight, and artificially enforced scarcity”.

He says that the Bitcoin industry profits from a network of unethical business relationships “new money from the financially desperate and naive”.

Palmer responded by saying that the cryptocurrency sector is dominated by a powerful cartel of wealthy individuals who, over time, have evolved to include many of the same institutions as the centralized banking system they were supposed to supplant.

https://twitter.com/ummjackson/status/1415353986392072196?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1415353986392072196%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livemint.com%2Fnews%2Findia%2Fdogecoin-co-creator-jackson-palmer-slams-cryptocurrency-calls-it-right-wing-hypercapitalistic-11626445925037.html

“Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today’s capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person,” the co-creator of Dogecoin stated.

https://twitter.com/ummjackson/status/1415353989323841537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1415353989323841537%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livemint.com%2Fnews%2Findia%2Fdogecoin-co-creator-jackson-palmer-slams-cryptocurrency-calls-it-right-wing-hypercapitalistic-11626445925037.html

Palmer, the co-founder of Dogecoin, also stated that he would never return to the cryptocurrency market. Palmer said, “I am often asked if I will “return to cryptocurrency” or begin regularly sharing my thoughts on the topic again. My answer is a wholehearted ‘no'”.

FBI Issues Warning to Crypto Users

FBI

The FBI has issued a nationwide alert to users about suspected cyber-attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and holders. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation announced this week that active threats to the business exist.

According to the FBI, certain people are carefully tracking weak holes in major crypto firms. Attackers have evolved a variety of specialized tactics to accomplish this. Sim swapping, tech support fraud, and account theft are examples of these.

The FBI made instructions for businesses on how to keep their assets protected.

The warning was distributed via the TLP protocol (a system for classifying sensitive information), which was created particularly for information distribution. The announcement also included a green designation, indicating that peers and organizations can exchange this information.

The FBI recommended cryptocurrency users to always use two-factor authentication and be cautious about the information they provide online.

Even though they’re simple to conduct, sim swap attacks are most difficult to defend.
