As the Democratic primary in New Mexico's third congressional district heated up in May, two mysterious groups– Avacy Initiatives and Perise Practical– began spending a combined $300,000 to support Teresa Leger Fernandez, now the Democratic nominee.
The groups ran positive, even glowing advertisements about Leger Fernandez, but didn't disclose who paid for the ads. Few details could be found about them online. This "dark money" spending drew significant criticism from other candidates, who condemned Leger Fernandez for not calling for removal of the ads.

New Suit Alleges Utahn Ponzi Operators Took the Money and Ran
Plaintiffs are asking for the return of nearly $750,000 as well punitive damages of upwards of another half-million dollars.
The complaint claims that plaintiff David Powell sent a series of investments to Crypto Traders Management starting near the end of 2018. Despite the subsequent collapse of the altcoin market on which CTM's professed trading strategy rested, the firm sent Powell monthly spreadsheets and updates on investments that were sunny enough to keep him making more deposits and even recommend the investment to fellow plaintiff Merav Knafo.
Twitter Hackers Shifting Money in Bitcoin Wallets Leave Trail
(Bloomberg) -- Whoever is behind the security incident involving some of the most prominent business and political leaders on Twitter -- a scam that raised about $120,000 worth of Bitcoin -- is shifting the spoils around online accounts, creating the beginnings of a digital paper trail that investigators are scouring for clues.

Founder Elon Musk, asking users to direct Bitcoin to one of three different accounts, said Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic, which helps law-enforcement agencies track Bitcoin-related crime.
Ask Amy: Her insults could cost her a lot of money
I recently turned 70, and though in good health, have begun to consider the inevitable. I have no children, nor does my sister.
The responses I get are reactive, emotional, insulting and IN ALL CAPS! Her fiance is patronizing, dismissive and foul-mouthed. I will no longer follow them on social media.
Here’s the dilemma: My husband and I have a substantial estate. We worked for every penny of it. Right now, Patsy is set to inherit a big chunk of it, and I know she could use it. If I cut her out, the money goes to charities and my husband’s many nieces and nephews, all of whom are very nice to me.

WASHINGTON — A majority of small businesses that tapped the taxpayer-funded Paycheck Protection Program expect to run out of money by the first week of August, according to a Goldman Sachs survey released Tuesday.
