B.C. bank robbery suspects, motivated by ‘anti-authority beliefs,’ had goal to kill police officers: RCMP

B.C. RCMP are releasing new details around its investigation into a bank robbery that left two suspects dead and six police officers injured in Saanich, B.C., last June, including the suspects’ motive.

Police said Mathew and Isaac Auchterlonie, both 22, had a goal to get into a shootout with police when they went into the Bank of Montreal branch near midday on June 28, heavily armed with semi-automatic rifles and body armour.

Investigators said Friday the men had strong “anti-government” and “anti-police views” and wanted to kill as many officers as possible.

How Sam Bankman-Fried’s ties with the Clintons helped him dupe investors

Sam Bankman-Fried cultivated ties with A-list celebrities, politicians and investors alike — but one power couple in particular was key to boosting his profile in influential and moneyed circles.

Bill Clinton was paid north of $250,000 when he spoke at the disgraced FTX CEO’s Crypto Bahamas Conference in April, sources told The Post. At the over-the-top tropical shindig, the ex-US president along with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair were famously photographed onstage next to Bankman-Fried, who appeared wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

Be warned, this is pure evil.

FTX Founder Gamed Markets, Crypto Rivals Say

Sam Bankman-Fried found ways to control the prices of digital coins to benefit his companies, FTX and Alameda, according to cryptocurrency investors.

In Sam Bankman-Fried’s quest to keep his cryptocurrency empire looking profitable, the disgraced founder of FTX often promoted newfangled digital currencies that crypto aficionados came to call “Samcoins.”

Mr. Bankman-Fried wooed the developers of these new coins with names like Serum and Maps, insisting that they make their trading debuts on the FTX exchange. Then his hedge fund, Alameda Research, would buy some of these newly listed Samcoins to prop up their value, while Mr. Bankman-Fried used FTX’s influence in the crypto industry to drum up interest in those coins and convince other investors to also buy significant amounts.

Mr. Bankman-Fried was thus able to inflate the coins’ value artificially, making Alameda look healthier than it was and papering over problems at his companies until they imploded in November.

Trudeau says Ottawa looking at bail reform after premiers demand action

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is looking “carefully” at a letter from Canada’s premiers calling for reforms to the country’s bail system.

Premiers from all 13 provinces and territories signed the letter sent to Trudeau on Friday. In it, they say the time for action is now and “our heroic first responders cannot wait.”

The letter was initiated by Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s office following the late December killing of an Ontario Provincial Police officer.

What BS. They’ve lessened sentences for gun crime, and are on a path to create a two tiered justice system.

Shot in the act: How an explosion in surveillance video is transforming the justice system

Highway cameras track an accused killer in an SUV travelling across Toronto before and after a double murder. A neighbour’s street-facing home security camera captures a man slashing his estranged wife to death with a machete in a driveway across the street.

These are just two examples from recent murder trials at the downtown Superior Court, where judges and juries routinely gaze for hours at computer monitors showing video footage and other digital evidence.

Fifteen years ago it was rare for a killing to be caught on video.
