Scams

US Politicians Exploit Their Own Supporters With Meme Coin Scams

September 12, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
A recent series of scandals demonstrate how US politicians increasingly exploit their own supporters with financial schemes. The clearest example of this is the Trump family’s deep involvement in the crypto industry. Reuters reported that the Trump family made $2.3 billion in income from crypto ventures between November 2024 and April 2026, while investors lost basically the exact same amount, $2.25 billion. In other words, this was an upward transfer of wealth from Trump fans and retail investors to the billionaire US president and his family.

Instacart Settles FTC’s Claim It Deceived Shoppers

December 21, 2025 Al Jazeera. , , , ,
Instacart has agreed to pay $60m in refunds to settle allegations brought by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that the online grocery delivery platform deceived consumers about its membership programme and free delivery offers. According to court documents filed in San Francisco on Thursday, Instacart’s offer of “free delivery” for first orders was illusory because shoppers were charged other fees, the FTC alleged. The agency also accused Instacart of failing to adequately notify shoppers that their free trials of its Instacart+ subscription service would convert to paid memberships and of misleading consumers about its refund policy.

He Thought He’d Been Accepted To A Canadian University

As the days and hours melted away, it was looking like all hope was lost: Tuesday, June 13, was going to be Lovepreet Singh’s last day in Canada before being deported. “[My family] sacrificed their whole life savings to sponsor my education here… and I’m facing deportation,” Singh told CBC News last week. “My dream is shattered,” he added. Now, thanks to a formidable protest mounted by international students and former students facing similar circumstances, Singh will be allowed to stay, at least temporarily. Singh, whose father is a farmer in Punjab, India, entered Canada several years ago on a student visa with an admissions letter verifying his enrollment at Lambton College’s Mississauga campus—a letter that he did not know had been doctored.
