As Ari Redbord from TRM Labs testified this week in a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing, these networks processed over $100 Billion in 2025 alone, powering scams that drain American families of their life savings.

The Will was properly executed. The date was found to be a typographical error, the evidence established the Will was made on 19 June 2003.

(BO) rules may seem pretty straightforward, but the reality is a bit more complicated. Yes, there is a common global standard developed by the FATF. However, the ways the FATF's prescribed definition of BO has been implemented in different jurisdictions can sometimes lead to surprising results when examining how an obliged entity in one place will identify a BO compared with a similar entity in another place.‼️💯🐘💰

University of Canberra constitutional law professor Kim Rubenstein says the advice that Solicitor-General Stephen Donaghue, QC, produced this week raises new constitutionality issues. Rubenstein says this means there is still a live question as to whether the then prime minister’s power to decide on the gas project – as opposed to his appointment to administer the relevant department – was actually lawful.

“Stephen Donaghue makes the distinction between the authorisation to administer a department and the appointment to hold the office of the minister,” Rubenstein says, “and that is the key difference.”

She raises two central arguments and at least one other constitutional law expert shares her interpretation.

One of the arguments relates to what appears to have been sloppy drafting of the Morrison appointment documents, in either the former prime minister’s office or by his department. If her interpretation is correct, it could have implications for the power Morrison assumed under the Biosecurity Act – the whole reason he seized extra powers in the first place – and may mean he never had it at all.

Constitutional law experts argue that while Scott Morrison’s appointments to secret portfolios were lawful, errors in drafting may mean that his actions in them were not.
