Washington Man Pleads Guilty to $97M Money Laundering Scheme Using Fake Companies
A Washington state resident has admitted to orchestrating a sophisticated money laundering conspiracy that moved nearly $100 million through a network of fictitious businesses and cryptocurrency accounts.$BTC
Geoffrey K. Auyeung, 47, of Newcastle, pleaded guilty on February 20, 2026, in Seattle federal district court to charges related to the scheme.
According to court documents, Auyeung created nine shell companies disguised as legitimate oil and gas investment firms. These entities were used to trick victims into funneling approximately $97.1 million in fraudulent proceeds into 81 bank accounts and 19 cryptocurrency wallets that he controlled. The funds were quickly transferred to co-conspirators operating in Russia and Nigeria.
Investigators determined that Auyeung personally profited at least $4.07 million from the operation.
As part of his plea agreement, Auyeung has agreed to pay $24.7 million in restitution and forfeit approximately $10.1 million in assets. Federal prosecutors are recommending a 63-month prison sentence, though the final judgment will be determined at his sentencing hearing scheduled for May 12, 2026.

🔥🚨BREAKING: IRAN PREPARES “WEATHER WARFARE” & JAMMING DEFENSE TRUMP DELAYS STRIKES AMID SHOCK TACTICS! 🇮🇷🌩️💥🇺🇸⚡
$BIO $AZTEC $ENSO
Reports claim that Iran could use advanced tactics like cloud seeding and electronic jamming systems to disrupt American aircraft operations in the Middle East. Cloud seeding is normally a weather modification technique used to increase rainfall, but some believe it could be used in unusual ways during conflict. Alongside that, electronic jamming weapons can interfere with radar, GPS, and communication systems — making military operations more complicated and expensive.
Experts say modern warfare is no longer just about missiles and tanks. It also involves cyber tactics, electronic warfare, and strategic disruption. If aircraft navigation or refueling routes are disturbed, operational costs could rise significantly. However, there is no verified evidence that weather modification can be effectively used as a weapon on a large military scale.
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain high, but decisions about strikes depend on complex military and political calculations — not just one tactic. The Middle East remains on edge, as both sides continue strategic signaling while the world watches closely. 🌍⚡

Rising stablecoin flows are influencing $FOGO liquidity as traders move capital into altcoins in early 2026. Since @fogo January 15 launch, pools have absorbed stablecoin inflows unevenly, creating pockets of depth on some exchanges while others remain shallow. Trading volume spiked 48% mid-February, reflecting both accumulation by early holders and rotation from short-term speculators. Locked and vested tokens add another layer of stability, limiting sudden supply shocks. For traders, watching how stablecoin inflows interact with $FOGO order books helps gauge potential price resilience. How efficiently the ecosystem converts stable capital into lasting liquidity will shape its long-term stability.#FOGO #fogo $FOGO @fogo
🔥🚨SHOCKING: TRUMP SLAPS NEW 10% GLOBAL TARIFF ON TOP OF EXISTING DUTIES WORLD TRADE SHOCKWAVE! 🇺🇸💥🌍⚡
$BIO $AZTEC $ENSO
President Trump has announced a new 10% global tariff, which will be added on top of existing tariffs. This means imported goods from many countries could now face even higher costs, potentially raising prices for businesses and consumers across the United States.
Supporters say this move is meant to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits. Critics warn it could increase inflation, hurt global trade, and trigger retaliation from other countries. Markets are expected to react quickly, especially sectors that depend heavily on imports like technology, automobiles, and retail.
This decision could reshape international trade relations and put fresh pressure on supply chains worldwide. The big question now is how other nations will respond — and whether this sparks a new wave of global trade tensions. 🌍📊

President Trump has just signed an executive order from the Oval Office, imposing a 10% global tariff on imports from all countries.
This move comes hours after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier sweeping tariffs (issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act), in a 6-3 ruling that found they exceeded presidential authority.
The new tariffs are enacted under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, allowing temporary duties of up to 15% for 150 days to address balance-of-payments issues—without needing immediate congressional approval. Trump described it as a "Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately" in his Truth Social post.
Key details from reports:
It replaces (or supplements) the invalidated tariffs.
Certain exemptions apply (e.g., some critical minerals, specific agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, energy items, and goods already under other tariffs).
The White House frames it as protecting American workers, farmers, and manufacturers while tackling "fundamental international payment problems."
Critics warn of potential trade tensions, higher consumer prices, and legal challenges ahead.
This is a fast-moving development—implementation starts soon (likely early next week), and it could spark reactions from trading partners worldwide.$BTC
🔥🚨SHOCKING: IRAN SAYS “WE WILL NOT GIVE OUR URANIUM TO ANYONE, TRUMP MUST DO HIS WORK!” 🇮🇷💥⚡
$BIO $AZTEC $ENSO
Iran has officially declared that uranium enrichment is a sovereign right, insisting that no country can tell it to stop. Iranian officials argue that under international agreements, they are allowed to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, including energy and medical research.
However, this statement comes at a time of extreme tension. Western countries fear that higher levels of enrichment could bring Iran closer to developing nuclear weapons capability. The U.S. and European powers have repeatedly demanded limits, while Iran says it will not surrender its national rights under pressure or threats.
Experts warn this standoff is dangerous. Uranium enrichment levels, inspections, and sanctions are now at the center of a high-stakes global dispute. One side calls it sovereignty — the other calls it a security threat. The world is watching closely as diplomacy hangs by a thread. ⚡🌍
I remember Fogo returning as a phoenix out of the crypto forge, its clean Firedancer customer incinerating a comet trail upon the starlit horizon of 2026.
Here in the silence of Nazret, where a Bitcoin burns and burns to 150 000 dollars, that Layer-1 being my dev soul, the flamethrower of low latency that DeFi, that is shocking and robbing slow chains of their garments.
Since January 15, I summoned dApps on 40ms block whispers and 1.3s finality--kernel-bypassing magic defeating Solana with a 400ms crawl, and CEX-deities running off-chain, without being centralized.
My perpetuals bots incinerated the latency fee; the constellations of the Valiant Trade were firing, TVL was bursting into 35M to 20M volume infernos. TOKENOMICS: shining like a gold vein in the mine, 3.78b stars, 90M cap (11.25% community, 6.6% airdrop), nectar 20M institutions refunded on purity.
It was perfected by jump Crypto and Pyth and was superior to Sui/Aptos vaults. Fogo spins high frequency cosmos round himself, in tokenizing dreams of 16T. Not a crumb of the flack, to my conquest--soaked, set, flying away to DeFi galaxies.

I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned in my entire trading journey, and something I’m about to share deeper with you all, is this:
**Be a good buyer. Not a good seller.**
When I first started, like most people, I was obsessed with catching tops, shorting breakdowns, trying to look smart. But over time the market humbled me.
Assets like Gold, Silver and now new era Bitcoin are built to appreciate over time. History keeps repeating itself since centuries. People never accept that price can go that much higher, and that disbelief is exactly what fuels massive short liquidations and history tells us.
Even in bear markets, shorts get trapped brutally.
Yes, trend is your friend.
But if you don’t master the art of buying correctly, shorting will slowly bleed your account, the profits you made from buying. I’ve seen it. I’ve felt it.
And here’s something most won’t tell you:
Market structure is not something you truly learn from the internet or the fancy charts of influencers. It’s an art. The art of big money. When you start understanding it, you stop trading from emotion and start trading with positioning, market can never trap you with that.
If your structure knowledge is weak, and you’re aggressively shorting, you’re basically gambling. With even weak structure knowledge still buy will favor you.
Master the buy side first.
Trust me, it changes everything.
