  A United States District Court in Tacoma, Washington, has sentenced a 42-year-old Nigerian national, Franklin Ikechukwu Nwadialo, to five years in prison for his involvement in a multi-million dollar online fraud scheme.

Elon Musk Loses Trillionaire Status As SpaceX And Tesla Stock Drops

Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire after a sharp fall in the share prices of his companies, especially SpaceX and Tesla, during Tuesday's (23 June) global stock market sell-off, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Musk's net worth has now fallen to about $957 billion. Earlier this month, Musk briefly became a trillionaire after SpaceX launched its historic IPO and the company's valuation crossed $2 trillion. The stock had reached an intraday high of $225 on 16 June, but later dropped to around $156 by Tuesday's close. This means SpaceX shares fell more than 30% from their recent peak. Tesla shares were also hit during the broader technology stock sell-off, which further reduced Musk's wealth. Bloomberg data showed that Musk's SpaceX stake was still worth about $744 billion, making it his biggest asset and accounting for nearly 80% of his total wealth. His Tesla stake was valued at around $158 billion. Investors have recently become worried that artific...

A former British Airways pilot has been sentenced to eight years and four months in prison after grooming and sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl he met online. Kwame Yeboah, 30, a Ghana-born ex-England youth basketball player, contacted the victim through video chat site Omegle before continuing explicit conversations on Instagram. He later drove from Berkshire to Merseyside, where he twice raped the girl in his car after checking into a hotel. Liverpool Crown Court heard Yeboah emotionally manipulated the child, persuading her to meet him despite clear signs of her young age, including references to school tests and images in uniform. He admitted three counts of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration. Judge Gary Woodhall described Yeboah as a “dangerous predator” who exploited his position as an older professional to manipulate the victim. He imposed a sentence of eight years and four months, plus an additional year on licence. Yeboah was also placed on ...
