It is as if you have walked into a branch of one of Vietnam’s banks. A row of customer service desks, divided by plastic screens, with landline phones, promotional leaflets and staff business cards. A seated waiting area and a private meeting room. All of it features the OCB bank’s logo, or its trademark green colour. This is not a genuine bank branch, however.

It is as if you have walked into a branch of one of Vietnam’s banks. A row of customer service desks, divided by plastic screens, with landline phones, promotional leaflets and staff business cards. A seated waiting area and a private meeting room. All of it features the OCB bank’s logo, or its trademark green colour. This is not a genuine bank branch, however. It’s one of various “mock up” rooms inside a sprawling compound on the Thai-Cambodian border, where criminal groups are accused of using elaborate and industrial-scale fraud schemes to trick victims into handing over money. The scammers behind the compound targeted people not just in Vietnam, but across Asia, Australia and South America, according to documents and props discovered inside. Within the six-floor building, in the Cambodian border town of O’Smach, there are rooms designed to look like offices for police forces from Australia, Singapore and China. There are even fake uniforms, badges and scripts to be read over the phone to victims. The Guardian was given access to the compound on Thursday as part of a media visit facilitated by the Thai military. It bombed the site and seized control of the area during border clashes with Cambodia last year, claiming it was used by the Cambodian military to launch drone operations.

Photograph: Lillian Suwanrumpha/AFP/Getty Images A ceasefire was agreed in December after three weeks of fighting, but Thailand has retained control of the area and other Cambodian villages, despite protests from its neighbour, which has condemned its presence as “unacceptable and unlawful”. In a statement, the Cambodian information minister, Neth Pheaktra, accused Thailand of using “so-called scam centre concerns as a pretext for actions that undermine Cambodia’s territorial sovereignty”. The buildings at O’Smach are pierced with bullet holes, and the floors are covered with co...

Two men on a motorbike threw acid in the face of an Indonesian rights activist, leaving him badly hurt and prompting calls on Friday for a thorough investigation amid concerns of democratic backsliding in the country. Andrie Yunus, deputy coordinator of the KontraS rights group, sustained serious injuries to his face, an eye, hands and chest in the attack in Jakarta late on Thursday. Andrie was riding a motorbike when he was approached by two men on a scooter, one of whom threw acid at him, according to KontraS coordinator Dimas Bagus Arya. Both attackers had their faces concealed. Advertisement Andrie, who had previously received threats for his activism, was rushed to hospital with burns to 24 per cent of his body, Dimas said.

The Trump administration approved BP Plc ’s plan to pump billions of dollars worth of crude from what will be the company’s first virgin field development in the Gulf of Mexico since the deadly 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster that triggered the worst oil spill in US history. BP’s deepwater Kaskida project is scheduled to start crude production in 2029. In its initial phase, the development is expected to produce the equivalent of about 275 million barrels from a section of the seafloor estimated to hold as much as 10 billion barrels. Read More: BP and the High-Stakes Sequel to Deepwater Horizon: Javier Blas The Department of Interior’s approval of Kaskida comes despite objections from environmental groups and Democratic lawmakers, who warn another Deepwater Horizon-like catastrophe could threaten Gulf Coast communities and ecosystems while encouraging more ultra-deep water drilling. BP has said “the safety of our people and the environment will remain our highest priority.” BP’s return to large-scale Gulf of Mexico development has been gradual since the April 2010 eruption of the Macondo well that killed 11 workers and destroyed Transocean Ltd. ’s Deepwater Horizon floating rig. Although the British oil major was cleared to resume bidding on federal offshore drilling leases in early 2014, Kaskida represents BP’s first full-blown new field development project development in the region in almost 16 years. “Kaskida is a world-class project that reflects decades of technological innovation by BP and the offshore oil and gas industry,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email. “This $5 billion investment will safely bring online more American energy by helping to unlock 10 billion barrels of discovered BP resources in the Gulf of America’s Paleogene fields.” The Kaskida find has remained largely undeveloped since its discovery almost 20 years ago because the oil industry lacked technology capable of managing the field’s high pressure and forbidding geology.

Seventh Circuit Slams Chicago Judge Over Her "Constitutionally Suspect" Orders Against The Trump Admin Authored by Jonathan Turley, There has been an ongoing struggle between district court judges and the Trump Administration over a variety of policies . In the first year, some district court judges issued nationwide injunctions that were largely rejected by the Supreme Court and appellate courts. These conflicts have continued and the intracourt tensions have increased. That was evident with the recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which delivered a virtual haymaker in reversing Judge Sara Ellis, an Obama nominee. The panel criticized Ellis for limiting the operation of federal officers in Chicago, saying that she “effectively established the district court as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago.” Protesters and journalists went to Ellis to restrain “Operation Midway Blitz.” They challenged the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the First and Fourth Amendments, specifically raising the use of tear gas and other chemical agents. Judge Ellis issued a preliminary injunction described by the panel as “sweeping”: “It enjoined all law enforcement officers in the Northern District of Illinois, as well as federal agencies and the Secretary of the DHS, from using certain crowd control tactics and tools. It also required the defendants to regularly inform the court of its efforts at implementing the injunction.” That included requirements that U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino report to her daily to brief her on his activities. The panel found that her order “impermissibly infringes on separation of powers principles.” Notably, this order came after various district courts were reversed on such orders, but Judge Ellis went forward with another attempt at a sweeping injunction. She reinf...

Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) is one of the 10 Must-Watch Stocks Right Now. Sandisk jumped by 6.92 percent on Friday to finish at $661.62 apiece, as investors took advantage of the broader market bloodbath to hunt for bargains in AI stocks. During the session, Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) rallied alongside its counterparts in the storage sector, namely Micron Technology (5.13 percent), Western Digital (4.25 percent), and Seagate Technology (2.60 percent), among others, backed by strong optimism for the artificial intelligence sector. The confidence was further boosted by Nvidia Corp.’s ramped-up investments in the industry earlier in the week, having partnered with and invested $2 billion in an AI infrastructure company. Nvidia’s investments are widely watched by the investing community, being the key enabler to the AI boom. Sandisk (SNDK) Surges 6.9% as Investors Take Advantage of Bloodbath Meanwhile, Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) earlier this year announced a 672-percent expansion in its net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, at $803 million versus only $104 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenues, on the other hand, rose by 61 percent to $3.025 billion from $1.876 billion. Looking into the third quarter of the fiscal period, Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) expects revenues to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion, or an implied expansion of 159 percent to 183 percent from the $1.695 billion reported in the same period a year earlier. Gross margins are expected to be at 64.9 percent to 66.9 percent. While we acknowledge the potential of SNDK as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
