PARIS (AP) — The trial of a Russian man alleged to have used ransomware in a 135 million euros ($157 million) bitcoin fraud will begin Monday.

Alexander Vinnik, who is also wanted in the United States and in Russia, faces up to ten years in prison at his Paris trial over charges of extortion, money laundering and criminal association.

French prosecutors say Vinnik was one of the creators of malware called “Locky” which was delivered through email. If downloaded, the recipient’s data was encrypted and they were asked to pay a ransom in bitcoin to free it.

In France, companies, legal offices and local councils were targeted between 2016 and 2018. Twenty victims paid the ransom through BTC-e, one of the world’s largest digital currency exchanges.

Vinnik, 41, says he was a only technical consultant at BTC-e and had no knowledge of illegal activity. He has denied any wrongdoing.

The United States also wants to prosecute Vinnik, accusing him of laundering billions of dollars through BTC-e. He was arrested at the request of U.S. authorities in the summer of 2017 while on vacation in northern Greece,

After a two-year legal tug-of-war, Greek authorities ruled Vinnik would be extradited first to France, then to the U.S., and finally to Russia.

In January after he was extradited to France, Vinnik began a 35-day hunger strike saying he wanted to be extradited first to Russia, where he faces lesser charges.

Bobby Shmurda has big plans for when he gets out of prison, but he's gotta put 'em on the back burner because the parole board still isn't feeling his whole "I've changed" vibe.

The rapper told the board he wants to resume his career in entertainment, but also wants to do outreach programs with troubled youth who need guidance. According to a transcript of his September parole hearing ... he also told the parole board he thinks of himself now as a "leader" and not a follower.

Shmurda claims he got into a lot of trouble when he was younger because he felt he would look like a punk if he walked away from fights. He added that's all changed now, and said he feels too "grown" to be fighting and arguing.

As we first reported, Bobby was denied parole during the hearing, but the transcript reveals exactly how he made his case to be released. According to the docs, he said he's no longer impulsive, and takes time to think about others and walk away from bad situations when they pop up.

There's a good reason that didn't fly with the board. In denying Shmurda, board members pointed out he's had "multiple" violations while in prison, including allegedly having a shank, fighting and drug possession.

Shmurda says he wants to get a high school G.E.D. when he gets out. Most likely he's got just over a year to study. We're told it's almost certain he'll remain inside until December 11, 2021 ... when his 7-year sentence ends.

Video After The Jump

A rapper who posted a YouTube video bragging about bilking California’s unemployment system was charged Friday with doing just that.

Prosecutors say Nuke Bizzle, whose real name is Fontrell Antonio Baines, was part of a scam that collected at least $1.2 million in bogus payments from California, using the coronavirus pandemic to rack up the cash.

In the video, titled EDD, for California’s Employment Development Division, the rapper shows himself going to the mailbox with stacks of applications, and bragging that “you gotta sell cocaine, I just file a claim.”

The video, where he’s joined by fellow rapper Fat Wizza, even gives a shout-out to President Trump, who signed the law making it easier to claim unemployment during the pandemic and boosting the weekly cash payments.”

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson featured Mr. Baines‘ video on his show Sept. 22, in a segment about welfare fraud.

A day later, Mr. Baines was arrested by police in Las Vegas. Police said he was in possession of seven bogus unemployment benefit cards in six other people’s names with him.

Federal investigators have since tied him and “co-schemers” to 92 cards.

Investigators said someone added a disclaimer to the YouTube video in the last few saying it “was created with props and was made for entertainment purposes.”

But at one point in the video an application is shown — and it turns out a bogus application was filed under that name, according to the charges filed.

Even before this week’s federal arrest, some commenters on YouTube had sensed something was amiss.

“I have never seen a singer become so committed to their singing before,” wrote one.

By Friday night, commenters were ready to convict Mr. Baines.

A 20-year-old Mexican woman was shot and killed in a tragic accident while filming a fake kidnapping for TikTok.

Areline Martinez, who had previously posted other phony abductions on the social media app, was accidentally shot in the head last week while filming the latest video in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico News Daily reported.

At least 10 people were present when Martinez, bound and tied to a chair, began struggling with her fake captors and the .45-caliber handgun went off, striking her in the head and killing her instantly, the outlet reported.

A YouTube video posted online shows Martinez just seconds before her death.

Authorities said two men fled in a Jeep Cherokee immediately following the fatal mishap, according to the report, which was originally published by the Mexican news conglomerate Sipse.

Police have identified the two men but have yet to track them down, the outlet said.

It is unclear why a loaded gun was used as a prop during the Oct. 2 incident, police said.

Martinez was the mother of a 1-year-old child, the reports said. “Never sad, always crazy,” her Instagram page reads.

Friends and relatives have since set up a Facebook page in her memory.

“We hope people who love Areline will find comfort in visiting her profile to remember and celebrate he life,” the page reads.

Video After The Jump

An Atlantic City cop not only saved the life of a suicidal man ... he showed compassion by telling the guy he loved him.

The guy perched himself on the bridge of a parking garage this week and threatened to jump. Cops got a distress call but the caller didn't give the exact coordinates, so police went on the hunt. The guy's family sent police a photo of him and that helped them eventually find him atop the parking structure.

Enter Officer Eric Knuttel, a member of the Crisis Negotiation Team. Knuttel began talking to the man, but 10 minutes into the conversation, the guy became extremely upset and walked to the ledge, creating a perilous situation.

Knuttel eventually made his way to the man, grabbed him by the leg and thwarted the suicide threat. As the man was moved back from the ledge, you hear Knuttel say to the guy, "I love you." Another cop says, "We'll make sure everything's ok."

The guy was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

Earlier this week, Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon accidentally shared an explicit photo of girlfriend Izabela Guedes on Instagram, in which her breast was exposed, via Awesemo.com. Although the 25-year-old athlete tried to cover it up with an emoji, it was misplaced.

Guedes, a model and swimwear designer, frequently shares bikini-clad shots with her legions of Instagram followers.

Gordon's mistake is not nearly as bad as Denver Nuggets player Jamal Murray, who uploaded a video to the platform of his girlfriend Harper Hempel performing a sex act on him. Murray said afterwards that he was hacked.

A history teacher who had allegedly shown caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed in class was decapitated and his assailant shot dead by French police as they tried to arrest him on Friday, police and prosecutors said. French anti-terror prosecutors said they were investigating the assault which happened on the outskirts of Paris at around 5:00 pm local time near a school in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a western suburb of the French capital.

Le Parisien and Reuters reported the teacher recently gave a class on freedom of expression and showed cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, which are considered by Muslims to be blasphemous.

CBS News' Elaine Cobbe reports that a Twitter thread posted on October 9 contained allegations that a history teacher in Conflans Sainte-Honorine had shown students the cartoons depicting Muhammad. The thread contained a video of a man who said his daughter, a Muslim, was one of the pupils in the class, and that she was shocked by the teacher's actions. There is no indication the man in the video is connected to the teacher's death.

Prosecutors said they were treating the incident as "a murder linked to a terrorist organization" and related to a "criminal association with terrorists."

The allegations are similar to charges brought last month against a 25-year old Pakistani man who wounded two people in a meat cleaver attack to avenge the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed by the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The attacker seriously injured two employees of a TV production agency, whose offices are on the same block that used to house Charlie Hebdo. Both survived.

That attack came three weeks into an ongoing trial of suspected accomplices of the authors of the January 2015 attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket, which also saw a policewoman gunned down in the street.

TARRANT COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – A 5th grader in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District has a habit of setting very lofty goals for himself… he also has a habit of exceeding them.

So, it isn’t surprising that Orion Jean wants to continue his mission to do good for others into the holiday season.

Earlier this fall, the Chisholm Ridge Elementary student collected and donated hundreds of toys to hospitalized children in Dallas through his Race to 500 Toys drive. Now, he’s started another drive with the goal of donating thousands of meals to people in need by Thanksgiving.

In addition to the work Orion is doing on his own, the Race to 100,000 Meals food drive will be be accepting food donations from the public on Saturday, October 24. Donations for that one day should be dropped off between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in the Chisholm Ridge neighborhood at 1005 Lindstrom Drive in Fort Worth.

Donors are asked to bring packed meals containing 1 bottle of water, 2 tangerines or 1 apple in a zipped sandwich bag, 1 applesauce cup or tuna pouch, and 1 packaged granola bar. The contents should be inside a brown paper bag with a positive message written on it.

“I’m asking everyone to join me in a race to kindness,” Orion said. “This has been a rough year for everybody, and now it’s more important than ever to show support and love to anyone who needs it.”

Orion began collecting donations earlier this week and has already received nearly 4,000 meals.

Over the summer, Orion won the Think Kindness National Speech contest, where he urged others to show compassion through action. As champion, he was given $500 to start his own kindness project where he went on to collect toys for hospitalized children.

Although Chadwick Boseman knew for years he had terminal cancer, we now know he died without writing a will, but he made a key move months before his death to financially protect his wife.

The "Black Panther" star's widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, has filed probate docs, obtained by TMZ, in which she asks to be named administrator of Chadwick's estate. Taylor has to file the docs in probate court because he did not leave a will.

That seems odd considering Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer 4 years ago, and knew it was terminal. However, that also puts his marriage to Taylor, who he reportedly dated since 2015, in a new light ... and here's why.

They got engaged in late 2019, and reportedly tied the knot at some point in 2020. That's important because when a person dies without a will and without children, their surviving spouse inherits all the assets of the probate estate.

According to the docs, Taylor gets nearly $1 million in personal property and assets, but that's not a true reflection of Chadwick's wealth and success. Most likely the majority of his assets are held in separate private trusts.

In the docs, Taylor notes Chadwick is also survived by his 2 parents.

As you know, he was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and it progressed to stage IV as he silently battled through it. Chadwick died in his home surrounded by his wife and family.

ATLANTA — Authorities have announced an arrest in the shooting death of a beloved Atlanta actor who starred in several Spike Lee movies.

Antonio Demetrice Rhynes was arrested early Friday morning along North Camp Creek Parkway.

Ryhnes is accused of shooting and killing Thomas Jefferson Byrd earlier this month in southwest Atlanta.


Byrd starred in several of Lee’s films, including: “Clockers,” “Get on the Bus,” “Bamboozled,” “He Got Game,” “Red Hook Summer,” “Chi-Raq” and more.

The 30-year-old is being booked into the Fulton County Jail. He is facing felony murder charges.

Friends say Byrd was not just an actor, he was an activist trying to make this world a better place.

Juliette McCann grew up with Byrd in Griffin. They went to high school together and kept in contact. Byrd recently sent McCann a text with a message for her children.

“He said to make sure you tell them to stay prayerful and that Black lives matter,” McCann said. “We had no idea that that would be our last conversation.”

Another friend of Byrd’s, Oscar Sheppard, said he is still trying to process that his good friend is gone.

“No matter what he was doing or where he was, I got calls from him,” Sheppard said.

McCann called Byrd a trailblazer and said he once returned to her school to choreograph a student performance for Black History Month.

“Believe me when I tell you that performance was absolutely awesome,” McCann said.

Fresh off the release of his first solo project since 2019’s The Plugs I Met, and not to mention the viral bars dropped on the recent L.A. Leakers Freestyle #103, Benny The Butcher returned to the Liftoff to chop if up with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk on his ‘Burden Of Proof’ project.

The Buffalo, New York native speaks on how many celebrities have sadly used the surge in social justice reform for their personal gain, why he’ll never make a “Black Lives Matter” song, his new perspective on what he raps about in this new chapter in his life, and how he came together with Hit-Boy to deliver the project that allows him to already classify himself as a legend.
