Child Porn Ringleader Stabbed, Beaten To Death In Prison

A convicted pedophile was killed by inmates while behind bars at a federal detention prison.

Christian Maire, 40-year-old, had been sentenced to 40 years in prison after the FBI discovered he was the “mastermind” of child exploitation and pornography ring.

Though his sentence was to ensure he faces the consequences for his crime, inmates at the prison decided a death penalty was the proper punishment for him.

After the attack, Maire was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead several hours later. According to a medical examiner, Maire died of multiple stabbing and blunt force on his head.

No details of the incident were released, but the officers said that Maire’s death was being investigated as a homicide.

Maire’s lawyer, Mark Kriger, told The Detroit News:

“It’s a horrible tragedy, and it seems something like this should have been able to be avoided.”

During Maire’s sentencing at the U.S. District Court in Detroit, prosecutors described Maire as the “mastermind” of an “egregious crime syndicate” that coerced vulnerable girls to engage in sexual activities on the internet.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Mulcahy, requesting for a life sentence for Maire, said:

“They hunted girls. They lied to girls. They manipulated girls. … And they did so repeatedly, for years, victimizing more than 100 girls, only a fraction of whom have been positively identified.”

Maire was part of a gang called the “The Bored Group” which was a pedophile network. The group comprised of computer experts with depraved sexual desires for underage girls.

The gang pretended to be a group of teenagers on the internet to lure unsuspecting girls to private chats.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office stated that these pedophiles often used lies, manipulation, and fake profiles, generally posing as teenage boys, to attract young girls into private video chat rooms.

Reports state that they’d ask girls as young as 10-years-old to strip and commit sex acts on camera, and then the predators would record the videos and distribute them to the members of the group.

Maire admitted to having committed the crimes and expressed remorse. However, he said that he wasn’t the ringleader of the pedophile group.

During sentencing, he told the judge that he had “shattered so many lives.”

Maire confessed:

“I never thought I could sink this low. I apologize to all of my victims. I took advantage of your youth, and trust and put my own selfishness above your dignity.”

Employees are faking coronavirus test results to get off work, FBI warns

Federal authorities urged private companies this week to be on the lookout for employees using falsified doctors notes and other medical documents claiming they tested positive for coronavirus, an old and childish trick that could cost thousands of dollars to already-struggling businesses.

In one recent incident, a worker at an unidentified “critical manufacturing company” submitted a letter that appeared to come from a medical facility and showed a positive COVID-19 test result, the FBI’s Office of Private Sector said in a report obtained by CNN.

In response, the company shutdown a manufacturing site to disinfect the facility and halted production and delivery of “necessary materials” to the plant, the agency reportedly wrote in the memo. Company officials also notified all workers at the facility, including four people who had to be quarantined because they had close contact with the “infected” employee.

The sudden and temporary business halt cost the company about $175,000 in lost productivity, according to the FBI, but that medical document turned out to be fake.

A closer look into the letter revealed the document had no official letterhead from a medical facility and the phone number that was listed in it was not associated with any legitimate COVID-19 test providers, CNN reported.

Authorities urged companies to look for inconsistencies in medical documentation from their employees and contact medical providers listed on those documents to verify the information.

The FBI has issued a series of warnings about a rise in coronavirus-inspired scams that have emerged in recent weeks. It has warned, for instance, that bad actors all over the country have been tricking people into sending them money for fake treatments, vaccines, medical supplies and charities.

“Criminals are actively manipulating the COVID-19 pandemic to their advantage,” Calvin Shivers, assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, said in a statement Monday. “We ask all Americans to remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to these schemes.”

Man waiting for $1,700 coronavirus stimulus cheque finds $8m deposited in account

 man waiting for a stimulus cheque from the government was stunned to find more than $8 million in his bank account.

Charles Calvin, from Indiana, checked his bank balance over the weekend to find that $8.2 million had been apparently been deposited into his account.

Mr Calvin was waiting to receive $1,700 from the government stimulus package, aimed to help those whose work is affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The stimulus cheques were first sent out on Saturday 11 April and the firefighter was shocked to discover the figure in his account.

“I went to the ATM at the Family Express and once I withdrew $200 out of my account I looked at the available balance still left in my account,” he told WGN.

“Apparently, my account had $8.2 million in it. I’m like what in the world is going on here?”

Mr Calvin thought there had been an error, so put his card in the ATM again and printed out the receipt, which still showed that he had $8.2 million in his account.

He called his colleague, Captain Samuel Vargas, over to look at the balance, who asked him: “What kind of truck are you buying me?”

Mr Calvin called his bank on Monday morning, who told him that there was no longer $8.2 million in his account, but that his $1,700 stimulus cheque had been deposited.

He told the outlet that “it kind of sucks you go from being a millionaire on paper one second then back to being broke again.”

Mr Calvin added: “But hey, once you’re poor you don’t have anywhere else to go but up.”

Tiger King's Joe Exotic has been hospitalized for coronavirus

According to the Mirror, prison sources have confirmed that the star of Netflix's hit show Tiger King Joe Exotic has contracted coronavirus and is now in hospital.

This comes after he was recently placed in coronavirus isolation within a prison medical center.

Joe, who's birth name is Maldonado-Passage, was an exotic animal zookeeper and has gained overnight fame following his role in the docuseries.

He was reportedly moved from Oklahoma's Grady County Jail to isolation in a Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, after various other inmates at the jail tested positive for Covoid-19.

There are thought to be around 213,144 confirmed cases currently in the US. Worryingly, an increasing number of incarcerated inmates and guards have been tested positive for the virus.

The New York Post reached out to a Grade County staffer, who confirmed that: "He is no longer here at this facility."

Speaking to US entertainment reporter Andy Cohen, his husband Dillon Passage said: "We speak like three to five times every day, but since he's been moved to this new facility, they are putting him on a Covid-19 isolation because of the previous jail he was at, there were cases. I've yet to speak to him since he moved."

The 57-year-old was convicted earlier this year and is currently serving 22-years in prison for two counts of murder-for-hire of Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin and various animal abuse charges.

Two Babies Born in Lockdown Were Named Covid & Corona & We Have So Many Questions

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. We know that the recent, weeks-long period of social distancing / self-isolation / quarantine / lockdown / what have you has taken its toll on all of us, mentally and physically and spiritually. And while we never want to be the ones to raise an eyebrow at another parent’s choices, we have to admit: The recent choice of one couple to name their lockdown-born babies Covid and Corona has us…well, certainly raising an eyebrow.

The babies in question are a pair of different-sex twins born during the night of March 26-27 in Raipur, India, The New Indian Express reports. The publication added that the parents chose the names as reminders of the hardships the family has overcome by welcoming these kids into the world amid India’s national lockdown due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

“I was blessed with the twins — a boy and a girl — in the early hours on March 27,” Preeti Verma, the twins’ mom, told Press Trust of India. “We have named them Covid and Corona for now.” Wait, for now?! Does that mean they’re waiting to find out how long the pandemic lasts or something? Are they going to switch the kids’ names to plain-old Priya and Rahul once we’re in the clear? I mean, we wouldn’t blame them. But honestly, we have so many questions. And Verma does have a few answers.

Woman Wears Full Giraffe Costume To Protect Against Coronavirus As She Couldn’t Buy Face Masks

Face masks are in severe shortage especially in China, which has been hit the hardest by the new coronavirus. Demand simply cannot keep up with supply as companies scramble to produce masks but still, panic-buying has resulted in many people not being able to get the necessary protection.

People have started getting creative with their protective gear and not long ago, a Chinese woman surnamed He went viral after she showed up at the hospital with very unique protection. She showed up at the hospital to collect medicine for her family members in a full-body giraffe costume to avoid catching Covid-19.

She said that she had no choice but to buy two full-body costumes online after she couldn’t get any face masks. She was spotted while visiting a hospital in Luzhou, a city of Sichuan Province in south-western China. The costume, which covers her from head to toe is puffed-up and has a small window of clear plastic film for her to see through.

He had also bought another alien costume along with the giraffe outfit to try and protect herself. Her old masks had expired and she couldn’t buy any new ones. He said she was the healthiest person in her family so she agreed to run errands such as grocery shopping as she didn’t want her parents to catch the virus.

On that day, she had visited the hospital as her father was a regular patient at the hospital’s department of respiration and needed his medicine. She also asked his doctor to conduct a virtual consultation with him through a webcam.

18-WHEELER CRASH Big Rig Up In Flames ... TOILET PAPER EVERYWHERE!!!

An 18-wheeler hauling toilet paper across the country crashed and went up in flames on a Texas interstate ... and reams of priceless rolls ended up as roadkill.

The crazy scene unfolded on Interstate 20 early Wednesday morning, when the driver of the tractor-trailer lost control of the rig ... flipping the truck on its side and spilling the precious cargo.

The trailer loaded with commercial TP was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

The crash created a huge traffic snarl during rush hour -- people are still apparently out on the roads in Dallas -- as crews worked to clear the smoldering wreckage. FYI ... Texas does not have a mandatory stay-at-home order.

The good news ... both the driver and his pooch were not hurt.
