At least $15 million was stolen via online infiltration of 15 financial companies — including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), E*Trade (ETFC), PayPal (EBAY), TIAA-CREF, and TD Ameritrade (AMTD) — overly a nearly two-year period. The perpetrators of the scheme were a group of hackers and identity thieves led by two Ukrainian nationals, according to authorities. Eight men have been charged, and four are in custody, the LA Times reports.
“Cybercriminals penetrated some of our most trusted financial institutions as part of a global scheme that stole money and identities from people in the United States,” said New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman in a statement. The criminal complaint against the men alleges that they moved money from online accounts onto prepaid debit cards, then used the cards to withdraw cash from ATMs or make purchases throughout the United States. According to the LA Times, “Much of the money that was cashed out was wired to the two leaders.”

At age 4, Tan Le and her family left Vietnam as refugees, venturing out to sea without a clear plan. Her upbringing ultimately inspired her to think big, and now she is making a major difference in the world.
“Anything, even death, would be better than life in that environment,” the CEO of Emotiv Lifesciences describes of the once war-torn country. Upon immigrating to Australia, Le’s parents impressed upon her and her siblings to “work hard, study hard, get good marks at school and then do something worthwhile with our lives.”
Initially, Le began with the simple desire to be able to move something with her mind. That idea led to the creation of the Emotiv EPOC, a headset that “picks up electrical fluctuations that result from neurons firing inside your brain.” With a set of 14 sensors, the device can detect the user’s thoughts, feelings and expressions in real time.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was the target of a self-proclaimed Ku Klux Klan member who is being accused of designing a portable X-ray weapon to target Muslims, the New York Daily News reports.
Glen Crawford, 49 — along with 54-year-old Eric Feight — was charged with conspiracy to provide support to terrorists with the weapon earlier this week.

“Sharing is caring,” goes the old saying. But you may want to get a second opinion when the “caring” is done by a hospital, and the “sharing” is that same hospital scheming to siphon off part of your $300 million estate.
That’s the charge made in recently filed court documents involving Huguette Clark, a reclusive, extremely wealthy heiress who died in May 2011 at the age of 104 after having spent the last two decades of her life at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan. Over the course of those 20 years, officials at the nonprofit hospital may have engaged in what The New York Times has termed “an all-out fundraising campaign” to extract donations from Clark.
Clark was originally admitted to the hospital in 1991 at the age of 85, after she was found emaciated and in poor health in her Fifth Avenue apartment. After receiving treatment for a skin cancer that had disfigured her face, reports the New York Post, she continued to stay in various rooms in the hospital, even though, court documents state, there was likely “no medical basis for keeping her.”

A New York Times report has identified the victim as Mark Carson, 32, and the suspect as 33-year-old Elliot Morales.
In what may be the latest in a disturbing series of crimes allegedly targeting New York’s gay community, a man was fatally shot in the head May 18 while walking through the West Village.
As NBC is reporting, local law enforcement officials are investigating the case as a hate crime after learning the suspect, who was arrested just blocks from the scene, allegedly hurled a series of anti-gay insults at the 32-year-old victim before shooting him.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told the Associated Press that the suspect referred to the victim, who has been identified in the media only as a Brooklyn resident, and his companion as “gay wrestlers” after encountering them on the street shortly after midnight.

America’s biggest banks want you to believe that they get no special advantage, no subsidies, from being too big to fail. And yet people keep finding evidence of those subsidies.
The latest is World Bank economist Deniz Anginer, in a study for Bloomberg Markets magazine. Anginer estimates that the six biggest U.S. banks have saved $82 billion in borrowing costs since 2009 because investors believe the government will never let them fail and thus don’t charge as much to lend them money as they do smaller banks. The report will be published in the June issue of the magazine.
Together with dirt-cheap government borrowing programs, Bloomberg estimates these banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley — have saved $102 billion since 2009 because of their size advantage.

Investigators say they have recovered a gun that was sought after an alleged white supremacist gang member was arrested during the investigation into the killing of Colorado’s prisons chiefs.
James Lohr was arrested early Friday after a brief chase in Colorado Springs.
Investigators say surveillance video showed a firearm being thrown from Lohr’s vehicle before his arrest and two men spotting it and taking it. Investigators say someone who received the gun turned it in Friday night.
Authorities had said they were looking for Lohr and a fellow 211 Crew prison gang member as persons of interest in the slaying of Tom Clements.

Trayvon Martin’s family has reached a settlement in a wrongful death suit they filed against the homeowners association of the sub-division where Martin was killed, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Martin was shot to death just steps from his father’s home on Feb. 26, 2012, by volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. The case drew national attention last year as the Sanford Police Department vacillated on whether to file charges against Zimmerman, who indicated that he’d shot Martin only after being attacked. Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder and is currently awaiting trial.
