BREAKING! Trump Just Took Down ALL 7 Of Them!

Prison WON'T Be Fun!

There is no doubt that some families will eventually fall on hard times and need assistance

to get back on their feet.

When that occurs, there are plenty of government programs and charities that give that much-needed

push to help people find their footing again.

However, there are people out there that take advantage of these programs designed to help

and use them as a financial windfall.

Though what makes that crime even worse is that under the Obama administration those

cases of fraud only increased and President Trump has had enough of it.

Over the last year, the Trump administration has been busy cracking down on welfare fraud

in our country and has made some HUGE strides in shutting down these criminal rings.

The amount of money these welfare leeches have stolen from the American taxpayer is

astounding which only proves why Trump is serious about revamping the welfare program,

and it is about time.

For instance, investigators in Grand Rapids, Michigan busted a food stamp crime ring that

was run by three Muslim brothers.

Emad Khalil Karaein, Jawad Khalil-Ahmad Karaein, and Khader Khalil Karaein ran a Middle Eastern

Market where they operated their crime ring.

The brothers were discovered to have cost the American taxpayer $736,000 from EBT and

$544,000 from WIC over the course of nine years.

Thankfully, these brothers were caught and sentenced to prison for their gluttonous crime,

but that was just the beginning of how widespread this welfare scam was.

As investigators continued to dig into cases of welfare fraud across the country they were

taken aback at how rampant it had become.

Millions of dollars worth of food stamp fraud were found predominately in convenience stores

that were found in low-income areas where the majority of individuals receive food stamps

through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

So to show the millions of dollars these criminals have taken away from the federal government,

here are the seven most prominent takedowns of food stamp fraud of 2017, and you can be

sure this next year will be even more significant.

Here is more from Breitbart:

1.

Ohio Convenience Store Owner Sentenced to 33 Months in Prison for $2.8 Million in Food

Stamp Fraud

A former Ohio convenience store owner got caught carrying out a $2.8 million food stamp

fraud scheme where he allowed benefit recipients to exchange their food stamps for cash.

The USDA revealed in an audit that the store, Breaden Market, cashed in on SNAP benefits

more than ten times the amount of larger stores in the area, raising red flags among investigators.

A judge eventually convicted and sentenced George Rafidi, 62, to 33 months in prison

in February and ordered him to pay that $2.8 million back.

2.

Florida Investigators Discover More than $20 Million in Food Stamp Fraud

The Division of Public Assistance Fraud, which works within Florida's Department of Children

and Families to investigate welfare fraud, uncovered $20,719,036 worth of food stamp

fraud in South Florida over the past fiscal year.

The agency said it uncovered the majority of fraud when paging through SNAP benefit

applications stating fraudulent household information.

3.

Baltimore Man Sentenced to Four Years for $3.7 Million Food Stamp Fraud

A Baltimore store owner got slapped with a four-year prison sentence for carrying out

$3.7 million worth of food stamp fraud.

Mohammad Shafiq, 51, was one of 14 other Baltimore-area retailers sentenced to $16 million worth of

food stamp fraud, where they exchanged SNAP benefits for cash.

The judge ordered Shafiq to pay back that $3.7 million to the federal government and

serve three years of supervised release following the end of his sentence.

4.

Three Wisconsin Men Who Carried Out $1.2 Million Food Stamp Fraud Sentenced to Hard Time

A judge sentenced three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, convenience store owners—Kanwar Gill, 67,

Raviinder Gill, 27, and George Nance, 59—to prison terms ranging from 15-20 months in

October after the three had been found guilty of exchanging cash for SNAP benefits.

Their store, Quick N EZ, had been an authorized retailer that accepts food stamp benefits,

but the $1.2 million in benefits the store redeemed was far beyond the amount the small

convenience store was expected to redeem.

Records show that all three men had been ordered to pay back the $1.2 million in fraudulently

earned money.

5.

Seven Food Stamp Fraud Recipients Plead Guilty to Taking Part in $5 Million Food Stamp Fraud

Although most people who carry out massive food stamp fraud are store owners and shopkeepers,

sometimes the beneficiaries themselves take part in the fraud.

Seven South Carolina women who received SNAP benefits as part of a $5 million scheme pleaded

guilty to defrauding the government of more than $20,000.

The judge, however, ruled that the women could avoid jail time if they paid back the fraudulently-obtained

money by the end of 2017.

The store owners involved in that scheme were not so lucky—three out of the five-store

owners faced five-year prison terms and were expected to pay back up to $5 million to the

federal government.

6.

Fundamentalist Mormon Sect Conducts $11 Million Food Stamp Fraud

Not all food stamp fraudsters are convenience store owners or food stamp recipients.

The FBI recently took down a fundamentalist Mormon sect in Utah after discovering that

Lyle Jeffs, the former polygamous sect leader, orchestrated an $11 million food stamp scheme

that involved transferring benefits to a communal warehouse and several front companies.

Jeffs reportedly had several female members of the sect carry out food stamp trafficking.

A judge sentenced Jeffs to five years in prison and ordered him to pay $1 million of that

money back to the federal government.

7.

Iraqi Immigrant Pleads Guilty to $1.4 Million Food Stamp Fraud

An Iraqi immigrant pleaded guilty to $1.4 million in food stamp fraud in November for

conspiring with others to defraud the U.S. government.

Ali Ratib Daham, 40, of Maine, gave customers cash in exchange for SNAP and Women, Infant,

and Children (WIC) program benefits.

He then redeemed the full value of the benefits to obtain more money from the government fraudulently.

The naturalized U.S. citizen is expected to face a harsh prison sentence for his crime—he

faces up to 20 years behind bars and will most likely be expected to pay back the $1.4

million to the government.

All of these criminals should work off the money they stole from the American people

and then some.

It is egregious to witness this level of fraud happening in our country unchecked for so

long while real people are suffering.

No one is saying that people should not have access to government assistance if they fall

on hard times but this is downright disgusting.

Thank goodness President Trump is doing what he can to shut down those that commit welfare

fraud and give back to the American people.

BREAKING NEWS! She STOLE $800k From Children's Programs! ROT IN HELL DIRTY DEM!! - Duration: 5:38.

BREAKING NEWS!

She STOLE $800k From Children's Programs!

ROT IN HELL DIRTY DEM!!

The Democratic National Convention has once again found a shining light of morality to

run in the 2018 election when they found Shaun Brown of Virginia.

The Congressional hopeful wants to take her brand of justice to a national level, and

even after several failed attempts, she's not giving up yet.

Tenacity isn't a reason for the mistrust of the American people, stealing money from

children is.

While she vehemently maintains her innocence, Brown is up to her eyeballs in legal trouble

as she faces federal charges for embezzling just north of $800k by monkeying with the

number of children that were being fed.

Breitbart News reports that the way this scam worked so well is that her charity informed

the government of how many children they were supposedly feeding (which turns out to be

a lot more than they were actually feeding) and they got some government reimbursements

for their good deeds.

Brown then pocketed the extra dough:

"A Democratic congressional candidate in Virginia has been indicted on charges of fraud,

embezzlement, and theft for allegedly stealing government funds from a school nutrition program

in 2012.

Shaun Brown, 58, denied any wrongdoing during her first appearance in a Norfolk courtroom

last week and said after the hearing that she intends to fight the charges.

Prosecutors said Brown fraudulently obtained $803,000 of government funds through her nonprofit

organization, which participated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Summer

Food Service Program.

The organization worked with the USDA Summer Food Service Program to provide meals to low-income

children on school breaks."

So to break this down for you, not only is she accused of stealing from children, she's

stealing food from low-income children, and the money that she's stealing from them

is taxpayer dollars that have been designated to make sure that children have hot meals

when they need them.

The next time you're listening to a liberal drone on about how the United States isn't

doing enough to support a really heart string tugging cause like hungry children (which

we should, of course, all be worried about), maybe remind them that if we want the money

to get where it's supposed to be going, we should be doing more to put down corruption

and then the money would go a lot further.

Perhaps if our taxpayer dollars weren't going to fund corrupt officials dream vacations,

and more was going toward the actual approved beneficiaries, there wouldn't be such a

hunger or education problem.

"Brown allegedly got the money by filing fraudulent reimbursement claims with the Virginia

Department of Health.

Prosecutors said Brown and other staff members of her nonprofit told employees to skew data,

such as the number of meals provided to low-income children, so the nonprofit could cash in on

the extra reimbursements from the government, the Washington Post reported.

Brown chalked off the 'irregularities' in the data to problems with the program.

'I want the irregularities corrected,' she said.

'I want to see the program improve.'

Brown and her mother, Jenever, who co-founded the nonprofit, filed a $10 million lawsuit

against the USDA, the Virginia Department of Health, and others this month for allegedly

discriminating against African-Americans, delaying payments, and falsifying reimbursements

and claims.

Brown ran against Rep. Scott W. Taylor (R-VA) for Virginia's 2nd Congressional District

in 2016, but she lost to Taylor by 23 points.

Brown announced in July that she intends to launch another congressional bid for that

seat in 2018."

One of the saddest parts is that Brown is still planning to run.

Even if she were completely innocent (which seems doubtful, at best) she should care enough

about the reputation of her party to remover herself from the running.

Unless of course all of this is selfishly motivated, in which case she should keep on

squeezing the American people and the DNC for all that she can get out of them.

If you're still unconvinced about whether or not Brown should be running for dog catcher,

much less Congress, here are more details about her case from the Daily Press:

"The indictment alleges that Brown and others with JOBS Community Outreach Development Corp.

filed fraudulent claims with the Summer Food Service Program in 2012, the U.S. Attorney's

Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said.

Brown, meanwhile, has gone to court herself, accusing the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

the state Department of Health and several officials of discriminating against her and

the organization she co-founded with her mother, Jenever Brown, which ran the summer feeding

program for children.

'This is about making sure there are no hungry children in Hampton Roads,' she said.

She is again seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2018 race.

The indictment says that Brown directed JOBS staff to inflate the number of children actually

fed and to falsify documents in order to obtain additional money, according to the U.S. Attorney's

Office.

She has been charged with wire fraud and theft of government property, and faces a maximum

penalty of 20 years in prison if convicted.

'We will vigorously defend.

She maintains her innocence,' said her attorney, Jimmy Ellenson.

He said there's been 'a longstanding dispute between her and the feds about this whole

thing,' adding that the timing of the criminal complaint seems unusual, given Brown's own

recent lawsuit.

Very Serious Goth Make-Up Tutorial - Duration: 4:00.

*sigh* Hello internet

Now that everyone knows that I am an adult goth in 2017

People keep asking me questions like

Why do you still listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees

It's almost 2018

And how do you do your eyeliner

And why did you burst into 1000 bats at that party last weekend

And I don't have a lot of energy, I don't

I don't have a lot of time, I don't

But I have a little bit of time and

And I can answer 2 of these questions

So the first answer is Siouxsie and the Banshees are awesome

K???? K.

Next question, um, how do I do my eyeliner?

I guess I have time to show you guys that

So if you like me don't have a lot of energy to do your eyeliner

Your first option is to

just wear glasses

That's what I do sometimes

Um but if you

like me don't actually need glasses

what you can do is

You just go to a movie, whatever movie, it doesn't matter what movie, some goth movie probably

And um you just get the 3D glasses

And you just pop the lenses out

That's what I do, I just take them out

So these aren't even real glasses

But nobody knows that, nobody has any idea

And people compliment me on my glasses all the time

So it's a good option

Alright next, your next option

Okay,

If you do have the energy to wear makeup

What you can do

They're gonna tell you in most make up tutorials

They're gonna be like HEY

Start your make up with a fresh clean face

Nobody has time for that

Okay and it's a waste of eyeliner from last night

So what you just do is you just take your eyeliner

Whatever eyeliner you have

And you just slap that crap on

Just like that

And just like -uh-

Don't stab yourself in the eye

It's pretty goth

I'm crying a little bit

Okay you can't see it

But I can feel the pain

Um,

Oh man

Okay

So then that was one eye

Now we're gonna do the other eye

Just darken that up

Alright now uh

Man

Okay so now, now that you have like

all that darkness um

What you can do if you really want

If you really wanna like spice up your goth life

You can just draw some lines

below your eyes

Like this

And it's pretty hardcore

Um you can like make them squiggly if you want

Or just like I don't know

Draw stuff on your face

Doesn't really matter, you're goth now, you can do whatever you want now

Your life is yours

Um, a lot of the time people are concerned about like

How good are my lines gonna look

First off, you're probably gonna wear fake glasses anyways so it doesn't matter

But then also you're goth, nobody's

gonna approach you in public and if

they do approach you in public, just hiss at them

*hissing noises*

It's fine. And they'll stop

It's all you have to do. Just hiss at people.

Hiss at people in public. It's 2018.

How My Year Went | The Best & Worst of 2017 [CC] // aGirlWithLyme - Duration: 16:01.

[Intro Music. Vincent Tone - New Summits]

In today's video I'm going to talk about some of the best and worst things that

happened to me in 2017. Before we get into this video please make sure to give

this video a thumbs up if you liked it, subscribe if you're new and be sure to

check me out on social media - all my social media links will be in the

description below. So first I'm going to start off with is the best thing to

happen to me in 2017. The first thing that happened was better pain management.

After living in Chronic Pain for 8 years I finally was able to get my pain to a

tolerable level and have a doctor that I could talk to about my pain. I had never

had that, I had never really been to a pain management doctor who took my

concerns of my pain seriously and actually helped to treat me. So finally

after living with Chronic Pain for eight years I was finally to see a pain

management specialist while it's not a cure and I'm still in pain most days

it's certainly much better than it was and I am so happy for that. For so long I

was in excruciating amounts of pain. My daily pain level was anywhere from a 7 to an

8 sometimes it would be a nine, and now with the Lidocaine IVs my daily pain level is

anywhere from a five to a seven. So I think just that in of itself really tells

you that I was able to get better pain management and that my pain is much more

tolerable for me. I do believe that my pain management could become better

in future, hopefully I will be given something that will help me with more

immediate pain instead of Toradol, because unfortunately the Toradol really

doesn't help for my immediate pain, I still need something for when the pain

is really bad because I still do get bad days. The next best thing that happened

was I started going back to see my Naturopath. I really hadn't seen my

Naturopath much in 2017 and I really wasn't doing much when it came to Lyme

Disease treatment. But this year I went back to my Naturopath and I was able to

get on a new protocol to help address, not my symptoms but to kind of

bring my body up to scratch, really support my body, and support it in ways

that it needs it. I am currently making okay progress with my protocol, it is

taking me kind of a while to really listen to my body and kind of figure out

how my body reacts to the protocol, so it is taking me a bit longer than expected,

but um it's going none the less. The next best thing that happened to me is I got

a MacBook Pro. I'm really not one to brag but I did get a MacBook Pro this past

September, I actually made a vlog on it and that is up on my channel. And

honestly you know, I couldn't be happier. I wanted to have a - well technically I needed

to have a new computer for such a long time. I will say my sister had to lend me

all of the money because of - on the limited income that I am on it probably

would have taken me about three years to save up to get the MacBook, which is just

ridiculous. But I couldn't afford it so I am very slowly paying my sister back. But

thank you to my sister for lending me the money so I could get my MacBook. Of

course you guys would see now that I edit my videos with my MacBook, and I'm

able to caption my videos with my MacBook so, my MacBook has proved to be quite

valuable and has really made my productivity go up big-time.

The next best thing that happened was I was actually able to get out and go

places this summer quite a bit. Usually during the summer we don't really do

much, and usually it's because I'm in a lot of pain, I don't feel well, and

really it's just a crappy summer. But this summer my family and I actually got

out and did quite a few things - definitely a lot more than we usually do.

So, for example this summer we were able to go

to the wildlife park, I was able to go to beach, we went on drives ,we went to the

air show. And yeah, I was able to get outside and take a lot of pictures. I

actually had a pretty busy summer for once, and I actually did things. So I guess

that is good because really I don't do that often. The next best thing that happened

was I took a lot of great photos. As a result of going to so many

different places I was actually able to get a lot more and use my camera, and

take pictures of things. I took a lot of pictures at the wildlife park, I got plenty

of pictures of the beach, um at the air show, and basically whenever I went

outside I brought my camera with me so I was able to take pictures of the cats, I

was able to take pictures of wild flowers, landscapes, you name it I took pictures

of it. So I actually had a pretty productive year with taking pictures, so

I'm kind of proud of myself that I was able to get out more and do that because

that was a goal that I had last year and I fulfilled it, so that's a good thing.

Okay, so now I'm going to move on to kind of the worst and you know, bad things

that happened to me in 2017. I'm sorry if this part gets a little sad and you know,

not all happy because these - life, it really sucks sometimes. On January 29th

2017, Rob Stewart died. For those who don't know, Rob Stewart was a Canadian

Filmmaker, Photographer, Documentarian, Environmentalist, Marine Biologist, and

all-around amazing person. Rob's mission was to save sharks, save the ocean,

protect ocean. Rob is actually quite well known for his documentary - Sharkwater,

and Revolution, which I still believe is on Netflix so you can actually search

those up and watch them - I highly recommend you to. While I personally did

not know Rob, he was a huge inspiration to me. I have said this many times before

but I want it to be a Marine Biologist, I wanted to study the ocean and study

sharks, and you know, protect sharks - that's what I wanted to do with my life,

and of course Rob with his documentary Sharkwater it inspired you know, entire

generations of Marine Biologists. Rob was just a huge inspiration for me. He

was someone that I felt very connected to even though I only ever met him once.

He was just one of those people that was just amazing in every single way, and it

was really hard for me when he died. When he went missing

diving off of Florida, it was difficult. I was hopeful that he will be found, but I

was hoping for him to be found alive, and they didn't find him alive, they found

him just drifting in the ocean about 100 feet below the waves and 300 feet from

where he was last seen. So when they broke the news that they had found him

it was heartbreaking, and I ended up crying for days. I was really sad

anytime I thought of Rob, or someone mentioned Rob, or something of the sort - I

would break down and cry, and it is still very hard for me to think about him, or

talk about him. I still haven't even watched his movies or his documentries

because it's just too upsetting for me. I really miss him, and I really wish he

didn't die so young he, he was just one of those people that humanity really

took a hit when he died because the world just felt so much smaller and so

much more bleaker without him, and I think a lot of people who knew about Rob's

activism or knew who personally will agree with me when I say that,

because he truly was one of those really amazing and rare people. I will admit

that when he died I was - I was depressed and really sad for about a month or so

and it took me a very long time to kind of get out of that, and I still kind of

feel like I'm in that sometimes. I just, I felt so alone and so isolated it was

really hard to go through. And then the next bad thing that happened was one of

my cats dying. Fraidy Cat, he died in March and he died

very suddenly. It was a shock, and I was still just getting over Rob's death so

then to have the death of my cat was just like I had to go through the

grieving process all over again. It was really difficult to go through again, you

know experiencing a death - it's never easy whether it's human or animal it's

always difficult. Um I remember laying in bed and thinking that I'm going to hear

Fraidy Cat's little paw prints come down the hallway any minute and then come

into my room, and jump up my bed and snuggle me. Of course that never happened.

I couldn't believe that my kitty was gone, and I still miss him so much, I wish

I could just snuggle him again. But I can't, and I really miss him. The next bad thing that happened

was my other kitty cat Tazz, he got really sick this year. I

made a Vlog back in August or September talking about taking my kitty to the vet,

which was Tazz, and when we took him to that we learned that Tazzy has an

enlarged heart, he has a heart murmur, and he has thyroid problems - which are all

very serious in a cat and will eventually lead to his death. Even now as

I am filming this video, by the time this goes up Tazzy could possibly not be with

us anymore. So even by the time this video goes up if my Tazzy is gone

I will let you know, because it is difficult to deal with.

When we do take him out to the vet, I do want to be there when he is euthanized,

I was there when I adopted him, and I want to be there with him when he closes

his eyes and draws his last breath. I know that when the time comes and when

Tazzy dies it is going to be extremely hard for me, it is going to be super hard

considering that we lost Fraidy Cat earlier this year, so losing two cats in

one year is very difficult.

The next bad thing that happened is I struggled with

feelings or periods of feeling isolated, I was grieving a lot of what could

have been if I was healthy, and I kind of had some periods of depression and

sadness. So this year more than ever I really struggled with feelings of being

isolated, and kind of feeling trapped, and not having any independence because of

my Chronic Illness and my Disability. I really struggled with this and I am

still struggling with this, and I made a video on this as well. I just feel like I

can't do what I want to do because I am sick, I can't go out and contribute to

the world, I you know can't go out and become a Marine Biologist, I can't even

live on my own. It is very difficult for me to kind of deal with those feelings

and, deal with the feelings of being isolated and you know really not having

any real-life friends - so yeah that's been difficult for me to deal with. And

then along with that I also kept thinking about what could have happened

if I didn't get sick. You know, I could have went to the University of my choice,

I could have become a Marine Biologist, I would be working

toward my PhD, I could be doing fieldwork, lab work you know - just living the dream

that I wanted to live. It's very difficult for me to think about that and

think that I might never get to live that out, I will probably be sick for a

very long time, and I will probably still not be at a place physically where I

would be able to achieve my dreams. And because of this kind of thinking and this

mentality it has led me to feel really sad, and

kind of experience periods of depression - I wouldn't say I was really depressed

um, because I don't want to label myself as having depression when I don't - I'm

not sure if it actually was depression, because it was more like feelings and

periods of sadness than it was actual long-lasting depression. The next bad

thing that happened is I got bit by a Tick. And this happened I think um, near

the end of August. I got bit by a Nymph tick that actually came off my cat. I

took all the precautions but I still got bit, and this was a bad year for ticks

too. But yeah, I did not really post about this on YouTube because I didn't want

to scare people and get them worried. I did post about it

on Instagram though - like as soon as it happened and yeah, a lot of people

freaked out which is understandable because being bit by a tick -- anyone who

lives with Lyme Disease or suffers from Lyme disease that's like their absolute

worst nightmare because it's not just Lyme disease anymore. Luckily I don't

think I experienced any changes in my symptoms, um my symptoms pretty much just

stayed the same - I didn't have any worsening symptoms,

I didn't develop any new symptoms, and none of my symptoms got better or

anything like that. So I am absolutely hoping that the tick

that bit me did not give me anything, which it could have gave me something

and then it could just be lying dormant in my system. When it happened I was, I was

terrified and I nearly worried myself sick thinking

about what kind of symptoms this could give me because I was terrified that

this would either make my mobility worse to the point where I really can't walk

and would paralyze me, or it would give me more cardiac problems, or more

digestive problems, or more cognitive and neurological symptoms, so yeah those are

the really scary ones that I just, I do not want. And the last worst thing is I

started to get a lot more migraines, yay. I have a family history of migraines and

I kind of expected this to happen at some point in my medical journey - didn't

know when it was gonna happen, but I kind of expected it to happen and it finally

happened. So yeah, um I have increased migraines. I get migraines probably about

three times a week, the migraines can last for about three days but the

severity of the migraines - they're really not that severe. I would say they're very

low to moderate, I really haven't had a really really bad migraine yet. Now I

have to deal with migraines which really isn't fun. Like I said I get them about

three times a week, they typically will um be in either of my eyes, they will be

in my occipitals, so I'll be on my head - anywhere's from my occipital up and over,

and then I will get them coming out of my shoulders and my neck sometimes as a

well. So, I technically, I do have Chronic Migraines now but I don't feel

like I should be calling them Chronic Migraines just yet because I don't feel

like they're severe enough to be calling them Chronic Migraines. So yeah, that's

pretty much all the good and bad things that happened to me and 2017. I hope you

guys enjoyed this video. In the comments below, I want to know what was one good

thing that happen to you in 2017, and what was one bad thing that happened to you in 2017.

Credits Ico Review | What Is Credits with Anthony Darvill - Duration: 11:23.

hello everyone so today my ico review will be credits so could the currency and

Bob change our financial industry with more than 1 million transactions a

second and point oh one sec for a transaction credit is a new unique

blockchain platform with absolutely new technical capabilities of the network

response time transaction cost in a number of operations per second so tiger

so they've obviously the pre-op co-stars feast yes sir that for take us out we'll

start on January the 15th the goal is 20 million and coins o CS

will be a ticker obviously gotta use a ESC 20 token Enterprise and so one CS or

is roughly at 15 cents at the moment and total tokens will be a billion but

suppose with a movie burning the leftover about the taken some sixty

percent music no your customer came I see so I'm pretty sure it Singapore

China and the US cannot jump in but where you can do the NFA reckon they

actually think that exchanges late February March we will be able to

probably jump into it on exchange like finance or something like that when it

jumps on and hopefully if you like when all the big whale start cashing out

Tigers will go down see my Barrett gravity maybe not 15 cents may not be

only going to be very you know decent price so let's go the website which was

pretty pre nice website actually so I could say the pre Osseo finish has

finished surpise yesterday 26 so three million was already raised during the

pre Osseo they're looking for 20 millions a target as a new blockchain

features a combination which can't be found on ER platform they've got a

working version with the alpha launch expected in January so next month so

there's a test there's a prototype look at that the technical concept evaluated

by top ten experts and positive user reviews I've got the conditions there so

a very fast blockchain well so the suit so a wide range of applications

including financial industry of gaming gambling Internet of Things payments and

many others so high-volume more than a million

transactions per second with future scalability to 10 million per second

fighting fast-track processing times as low as about 0.01 seconds per

transaction inexpensive transaction fees differentiated from around point zero

zero once I said USD smart contracts capabilities is new advanced

functionalities with development developer friendly interface and

programming that mobility can totally the technical side of it so the abstract

so I got credits platform is a decentralized financial system for the

direct interaction between participants on p2p principles the platform expands

the potential of using financial services on the basis of a disrupted

ledger self-executing smart contracts and credits cryptocurrency system is

ain't unite all participants on one side providing them with a platform for

creating and using financial services where everyone can both offer a service

and use it thanks to well-defined and balanced

technological system the credits platform offers a new technical solution

and new conceptual model of networking participants interaction for the

development of modern decentralized financial services and that was one big

mouthful anyway so I asked everyone to go to the presentation so obviously so

characteristics obviously between credits Bitcoin etherium it's a volume

in net where it always says more than a million bitcoins and seven during three

to five hundred the transaction speeds 0.01 to three seconds ten minute Bitcoin

one to five minutes an arien price very cheap as home state they're very

expensive and rather experience you so restrictions in smart contracts so all

anonymous autonomous I mean full and autonomous theorem no external Eppie yes

cycles it schedules yesterday no no no no so the financial services that are

joined is obviously payments print services and loans deposits interbank

payments cross border into payments trading operations and exchanges in

stocks so Internet of Things soju too fast blockchain of low credit please is

best decision for IOT so smart home media infrastructure management sale

includes manufacturing agriculture energy management building at home

automation and other fields of application is a medical and health care

and transportation so why credits so new technique

technology will design more secure new instruments for developers and users and

for no existent where he anions 2017 so you just go through this this is the

this one is the technical features that's a technical paper under documents

so you have a look at this I was she only goes through the team in

a minute so actually not do that now so I'll go that team so I team CEO and

Founder Eagle coggan off I'm like mates I books done you're a long cut out that

say twelve easy business including mighty unique so whatever this skater

LinkedIn have a quick look how do you do your own due diligence guys so see I've

been a credits blockchain platform fin tech entrepreneur Bitcoin and I'll coin

trader block chaining crypto visionary

so he's got all he wasn't before that credit offsets managing IT company with

20 plus employees in 2011 that's not bad well let's go through here's real couple

these just sort of the engineer wanting this experience

so the team's pretty good so far as far table vo do your own due diligence guys

as always with everything just so classic food some single quick line like

I said so that the advisors have a good team here

see boys is Carl Wang I've seen your consultant of IBM usually that guys is

pretty strong

yep advisors are live at me to be like really do so so so that now only look at

is IC o---- part so obviously it three million raised so they'll get to 20

million so to cover 15 million a reasonable sum compared to other

projects yes there's a lot of titans but I haven't read yep so they so escrow is

gonna be holding the other funds so fifty percent that's a maximum 10

million will not be frozen and will be used for the development of pro

information of projects all right 30 percent meet frozen to the release of

the album version which requires the escrow for confirmation approval for

release 20 percent frozen to the full release so I've said from when fire

breaching the Sotka turn the IC o---- the company plans to

sell tokens to raised so 15 to 20 million during the first half of 2018

the company will only have access to 50 percent of the funds collected so that's

cool and no more than seven to ten million these funds will be used to

we've done that already remain unspent funds will be unlocked after alpha

launch and the full release of the platform

we believe that large funds collected in the icao having any pressure on the

potential growth of prices of the type in the future so total number of issue

will be admit will be 1 billion exchange that 1/8 um legal 5000

sears tokens so 60% the icao to 4 billion to pokeberry

50% of the founders I'm sent for advisers and 3% for operation unused

operations Tigers will be blocked for at least one year according to the

following schedule so Tim as it grows until January the 1st 2019 attendance at

Brighton through to the 1st January of 2020 so those were your bonuses got

obviously previous orient done so obviously the bonuses for high senior

and other than that guys I think this is actually decent this is a decent project

solving definitely solving a problem so really they're gonna buy the roadmap so

MVP star has us 27 January so October at 70 hours of MVP and pre ICO is the ICO

January February the other business should be out first quarter and 2018

will be the release so that's pretty good so as long as they stick to their

you know and stick to the game plan or the roadmap it should be sweet so can I

have a look - you and your diligence guys as usual at the moment - yes and me

but obviously we'll see how we go leading on leading up to it I see is a

dozen others of what this for this so

yeah so that's all for me guys this one so

obviously all except general if you think he's the star that tiger sale

obviously the goals 20 million if they draft but probably more 15 cents coin

tell Tigers and billion obviously the leftover skipped birds and

I don't that guys this all got these sites so obviously do your own due

diligence as always I'm not a financial advisor so whether you invest or not

it's entirely up to you know us know Singapore and know China if that case

like can do you can weigh 40 exchanges and then usually you can probably get it

I wouldn't say cheaper than the I see a price but you'll get it if you haven't

I keep lookout and small answer it again for a decent price and obviously

let it mature for a while and if you can sell it off to time three-time profit go

for it says what up here today girls you gotta be a unit thumbs up if you want to

Zclassic's unique Bitcoin crypto-dividend plan (the birth of Bprivate) shows the power of BTC! - Duration: 5:26.

Hello everyone this is adam meister the bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister

alright check out the note section below this is a very special video today is

December the 26th 2017 I want to talk about the Z classic real

quick forward into Bitcoin into be private and I think it is a very unique

situation it shows the power of Bitcoin that an altcoin would want to form using

the Bitcoin crypto dividend distribution method and we are talking about this all

coin will increase in supply because the z.z classic basically is going to become

this be private all right and so all of a sudden they're inflating the supply of

what they had before but still they want to do this they know that their coin is

going to be worth more as a fee as a Bitcoin crypto dividend that as it is as

a third tier all gone and and they're willing to inflict on you that is how

powerful they could create an inflationary situation and you're going

to end up with the more Oh point so this is what they think at

least clearly this is what they think it is definitely a great experiment in

crypto dividends is if this is proven be successful you're going to have all

sorts of third-tier all coins and lower and second zero points trying to do this

and we're in a situation right now where if you the people who have C classic and

people who have a big point are going to get this be private but if you go and

buy C classic now for ten dollars

there's a good chance you're gonna get a coin that is worth I mean if it if it's

1% of a Bitcoin under $50 or something like that drift from the fork so this is

why we see Z classic pumping now I'm not saying to go buy Z classic I have not

ballsy classic I don't buy anything but Bitcoin I don't own an easy classic but

in the past I have talked about situations where I've said this is a

good speculation and I haven't said that for a while well this is a good

speculation okay because what's the worst that can happen here and again I'm

not saying to do this but in speculative terms you spend $10 on a beat classic

okay and that'll be honest e-zine classic all

right the worst that can happen it goes dip back down to $2 the best that can

happen is you end up with this $150 for a Bitcoin be private alright so think

about that I'm not one to to buy all coins though the other very interesting

thing and I don't know much at first of all Rhett the guy that's behind one of

the developers that's behind this a very interesting guy who is I mean best known

for not believing in free minds he's been involved with be gold he speaks his

mind in everything spoke to you but you can contact her

about that maybe I'll set up I'll put his Twitter below again I meant to

Tucson Airport right now trying to get back to Baltimore but one thing is very

interesting tresor already has seen cashed on all right you can store see

cash on trays rewarding z classic is a fork of z catch some the private is

going to be a fork of z classic so what would believe if the Tresor people can

already handle the root coin z cash that they should be able to handle this

situation so this makes me think is this fork going to be this script of

definitely going to be easier for them to split then let's say be diamond are

they gonna be feel feel more comfortable with it that be diamond I would think so

so this is an opportunity for all of us out there in the Bitcoin crypto dividend

community who want to get our free crimp be dividends as fast as possible who

want to get it as safely as possible to put the pressure on Tresor and say when

you already handle C cash so why can't you handle a fork of Z classic fork of

Bitcoin this combination type thing so it's a very unique situation I thought I

would make my own classic be private dedicated video here and yeah again the

bottom line is this shows how valuable Bitcoin is okay this shows how Bitcoin

is the king of them all if you've got an altcoin that's really to transition into

Bitcoin we're going to inflate its supply to make itself more known and to

increase its value I mean it is just a really amazing

when you look at it from that perspective so i'm adam meister the

bitcoinmeister disruption I am out of here check another section Pelosi

administration that will decide that

"Hello, nice to meet you"

"It sure has been a while!"

Medi Kay - Voici La Fin (ft. Sandra Mbuyi) [CC Lyrics] - Duration: 4:08.

My body's limp but my heart's still beating Dead, but your boy's still breathing

Bent on the old ways seeking bread for this corpse but your hope still feeds me

Like, I let my guard way down for the fight Turned so hard to the right

Strained so hard in the night Yet I still had my foot on the pedal

I crashed when I saw that light That rectangular screen shined so dark, man

The light in my eye was tar man, so how great in me was that darkness?

Like, what was life for this carcass?

You searched my mind and found garbage But you spoke the truth with such calmness

and I paused

J'irai là-bas parmi les anges Près d'Emmanuel me consoler

Passant mon temps à la louange Dire à Jésus un grand « Merci »

Voici la fin de mes souffrances (This is the end of all my suffering)

Parce qu'en Jésus je suis sauvé (Because in Jesus I am really free

I am saved and my sin will not be killing me)

J'ai la victoire sur tout ce monde (I have been forgiven, I'm victorious)

Un jour j'irai près du Seigneur (I will live forever in his kingdom so glorious)

I'm restless And I long for the pain to be ended

Blood crying from the pavement Hearts full of hatred, charred in the flames

of vengeance I'm tired of resentment

Our lives are in need of redemption We're helpless, desperate for hope

And we tend to forget that Love came to release the oppressed

I hear the sound of freedom Footsteps on the pavement of gold, changing

the old, chains getting broke You changed my fate that day you spoke

"It is finished" Dash them L's in the bin, we winning

Duppied the mess out of death like Krillin Putting that flesh to the grave, I guess you

could say we killing

Voici la fin de mes souffrances Il a oublié mes péchés, il m'a tourné

vers son nom C'est trop, c'est trop !

Le king a changé toute ma life, alors je chante : « Victoire sur tout ce monde »

En toi je mets toute ma confiance Jésus mon ami, mon soutien

Environné de ta présence Mon cœur heureux ne craint de rien

J'irai là-bas …

Bridge: I'ma meet the king!

I'ma meet the king!

Let him take away all of my pain and suffering I'ma meet the king!

I'ma meet the king!

I'm ready, I'm set to live forever with my king

I'ma meet the king! I'ma meet the king! Let him take away all of my pain and suffering I'ma meet the king! I'ma meet the king! I'm ready, I'm set to live forever with my king

Voici la fin de mes souffrances Parce qu'en Jésus je suis sauvé

J'ai la victoire sur tout ce monde Un jour j'irai près du Seigneur

BREAKING! Trump Just Took Down ALL 7 Of Them! Prison WON'T Be Fun! MK Today - Duration: 7:28.

BREAKING! Trump Just Took Down ALL 7 Of Them!

Prison WON'T Be Fun!

There is no doubt that some families will eventually fall on hard times and need assistance

to get back on their feet.

When that occurs, there are plenty of government programs and charities that give that much-needed

push to help people find their footing again.

However, there are people out there that take advantage of these programs designed to help

and use them as a financial windfall.

Though what makes that crime even worse is that under the Obama administration those

cases of fraud only increased and President Trump has had enough of it.

Over the last year, the Trump administration has been busy cracking down on welfare fraud

in our country and has made some HUGE strides in shutting down these criminal rings.

The amount of money these welfare leeches have stolen from the American taxpayer is

astounding which only proves why Trump is serious about revamping the welfare program,

and it is about time.

For instance, investigators in Grand Rapids, Michigan busted a food stamp crime ring that

was run by three Muslim brothers.

Emad Khalil Karaein, Jawad Khalil-Ahmad Karaein, and Khader Khalil Karaein ran a Middle Eastern

Market where they operated their crime ring.

The brothers were discovered to have cost the American taxpayer $736,000 from EBT and

$544,000 from WIC over the course of nine years.

Thankfully, these brothers were caught and sentenced to prison for their gluttonous crime,

but that was just the beginning of how widespread this welfare scam was.

As investigators continued to dig into cases of welfare fraud across the country they were

taken aback at how rampant it had become.

Millions of dollars worth of food stamp fraud were found predominately in convenience stores

that were found in low-income areas where the majority of individuals receive food stamps

through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

So to show the millions of dollars these criminals have taken away from the federal government,

here are the seven most prominent takedowns of food stamp fraud of 2017, and you can be

sure this next year will be even more significant.

Here is more from Breitbart:

1.

Ohio Convenience Store Owner Sentenced to 33 Months in Prison for $2.8 Million in Food

Stamp Fraud

A former Ohio convenience store owner got caught carrying out a $2.8 million food stamp

fraud scheme where he allowed benefit recipients to exchange their food stamps for cash.

The USDA revealed in an audit that the store, Breaden Market, cashed in on SNAP benefits

more than ten times the amount of larger stores in the area, raising red flags among investigators.

A judge eventually convicted and sentenced George Rafidi, 62, to 33 months in prison

in February and ordered him to pay that $2.8 million back.

2.

Florida Investigators Discover More than $20 Million in Food Stamp Fraud

The Division of Public Assistance Fraud, which works within Florida's Department of Children

and Families to investigate welfare fraud, uncovered $20,719,036 worth of food stamp

fraud in South Florida over the past fiscal year.

The agency said it uncovered the majority of fraud when paging through SNAP benefit

applications stating fraudulent household information.

3.

Baltimore Man Sentenced to Four Years for $3.7 Million Food Stamp Fraud

A Baltimore store owner got slapped with a four-year prison sentence for carrying out

$3.7 million worth of food stamp fraud.

Mohammad Shafiq, 51, was one of 14 other Baltimore-area retailers sentenced to $16 million worth of

food stamp fraud, where they exchanged SNAP benefits for cash.

The judge ordered Shafiq to pay back that $3.7 million to the federal government and

serve three years of supervised release following the end of his sentence.

4.

Three Wisconsin Men Who Carried Out $1.2 Million Food Stamp Fraud Sentenced to Hard Time

A judge sentenced three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, convenience store owners—Kanwar Gill, 67,

Raviinder Gill, 27, and George Nance, 59—to prison terms ranging from 15-20 months in

October after the three had been found guilty of exchanging cash for SNAP benefits.

Their store, Quick N EZ, had been an authorized retailer that accepts food stamp benefits,

but the $1.2 million in benefits the store redeemed was far beyond the amount the small

convenience store was expected to redeem.

Records show that all three men had been ordered to pay back the $1.2 million in fraudulently

earned money.

5.

Seven Food Stamp Fraud Recipients Plead Guilty to Taking Part in $5 Million Food Stamp Fraud

Although most people who carry out massive food stamp fraud are store owners and shopkeepers,

sometimes the beneficiaries themselves take part in the fraud.

Seven South Carolina women who received SNAP benefits as part of a $5 million scheme pleaded

guilty to defrauding the government of more than $20,000.

The judge, however, ruled that the women could avoid jail time if they paid back the fraudulently-obtained

money by the end of 2017.

The store owners involved in that scheme were not so lucky—three out of the five-store

owners faced five-year prison terms and were expected to pay back up to $5 million to the

federal government.

Fundamentalist Mormon Sect Conducts $11 Million Food Stamp Fraud

Not all food stamp fraudsters are convenience store owners or food stamp recipients.

The FBI recently took down a fundamentalist Mormon sect in Utah after discovering that

Lyle Jeffs, the former polygamous sect leader, orchestrated an $11 million food stamp scheme

that involved transferring benefits to a communal warehouse and several front companies.

Jeffs reportedly had several female members of the sect carry out food stamp trafficking.

A judge sentenced Jeffs to five years in prison and ordered him to pay $1 million of that

money back to the federal government.

Iraqi Immigrant Pleads Guilty to $1.4 Million Food Stamp Fraud

An Iraqi immigrant pleaded guilty to $1.4 million in food stamp fraud in November for

conspiring with others to defraud the U.S. government.

Ali Ratib Daham, 40, of Maine, gave customers cash in exchange for SNAP and Women, Infant,

and Children (WIC) program benefits.

He then redeemed the full value of the benefits to obtain more money from the government fraudulently.

The naturalized U.S. citizen is expected to face a harsh prison sentence for his crime—he

faces up to 20 years behind bars and will most likely be expected to pay back the $1.4

million to the government.

All of these criminals should work off the money they stole from the American people

and then some.

It is egregious to witness this level of fraud happening in our country unchecked for so

long while real people are suffering.

No one is saying that people should not have access to government assistance if they fall

on hard times but this is downright disgusting.

Thank goodness President Trump is doing what he can to shut down those that commit welfare

fraud and give back to the American people.

what do you think about this?
