A young man in China was detained after he flaunted an impressive cash gift of 180 million yuan (US$25 million) from his grandmother for his birthday, only to later be discovered to have fabricated the entire story.
On October 5, the man was exposed for showcasing luxury cars, jewellery, and antiques on his Douyin account @dongdonganan. He also commented on another user’s post, claiming that his grandmother had given him 180 million yuan for his 20th birthday.
Faced with scepticism from others, he posted a screenshot of his bank account, which allegedly showed savings of 2.4 billion yuan (US$335 million).
Additionally, he shared a letter of appointment for a senior family member supposedly issued by China’s State Council and an old group photo of officials from the People’s Liberation Army, implying that a relative held a prestigious position.
On October 31, internet police in southwestern China’s Guizhou province revealed that the man, surnamed Tian, had fabricated his wealth and manipulated photos to gain followers and profit from online gambling. Authorities stated that he had been detained for disturbing public order and cyberspace regulations while engaging in online gambling activities.
Despite Tian’s deception, comments on his posts reflected a wider societal frustration regarding wealth inequality in China.
The country’s Gini coefficient, a measure of economic disparity, has remained between 0.46 and 0.49 over the past two decades. A Gini coefficient above 0.4 indicates a significant income gap and heightened social tensions.
One online observer lamented: “Rich people’s pocket money is the wealth I can never achieve in my lifetime.”

Say goodbye to these dollar bills this November – They will no longer be accepted at any store starting today
According to the Federal Reserve there are several reasons why a bill might get damaged or “mutilated”, the most common being because of “fire, misuse, or even deterioration from burying money.”
In an effort to eliminate these bills from circulation, the Fed has instructed banks and retailers to stop accepting them, especially the more damaged ones, starting with the one dollar bill, as it is the most commonly used one and the one that gets deteriorated the most and the quickest.
Banks will have to make an extra effort, they will have to reprogram their ATMs to stop accepting any mutilated bills and instead redirect customers inside so that a teller can inform them on how to proceed. Some authorized locations will be able to just exchange the damaged bill for a newer one of the same value, but if the piece is too far gone, it will have to be sent to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) directly to make a claim and get it replaced.
There are currently seven denominations of bills: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. While the $500, $1,000, and $10,000 bills are not being printed anymore, they are still in circulation as they are only taken out once they are mutilated. This means that there are a lot of old bills being used with outdated security measures, which make them the perfect target for counterfeiters and other criminals.
In fact, there is already a plan in place to start the substitution. The Federal Reserve will introduce new designs for the $5 bill between 2032 and 2035, the $20 bill in 2030, the $50 bill in 2028 and $100 bill between 2034 and 2038. The new measures will ensure that counterfeiting the currency is harder and will protect the U.S economy for years to come.
With Trump’s victory, Malaysia sees more interest from Chinese firms for business space
During his first term, Trump’s “America First” policy sparked a trade conflict with China, with tariffs imposed on US$550 billion of Chinese products. The tensions between Washington and Beijing also led to disruptions in global supply chains and fuelled uncertainty in financial markets.
In Thailand, WHA Group CEO Jareeporn Jarukornsakul told Reuters that the industrial estate giant has been flooded with phone calls from Chinese customers in anticipation of the tariff spike, prompting it to expand its Chinese-speaking sales force.
Similarly, Malaysian real estate sellers have been reporting an uptick in interest in business relocation as Trump’s return to the White House may bring a surge in Chinese companies looking to move supply chains to Southeast Asia to shield their business from the tariff impact.
A recent Juwai IQI report found that Malaysia and neighbouring countries have received significant investment so far this year in sectors such as automotive, real estate, and semiconductors, as Chinese capital shifts away from G7 economies to Asia.
In May, Hong Leong Investment Bank’s research division noted that while trade wars often harmed the global economy, Malaysia’s neutral stance has helped attract foreign direct investment.
The bank’s report highlighted that during Trump’s first term, Malaysia’s exports to the US grew at an average of 7.7 per cent annually – a faster growth rate compared with its shipments to China.
Approved foreign investments in Malaysia more than tripled to 188 billion ringgit (US$42.5 billion) between the start of the trade war in 2018 and 2023, according to the report.
NY lost 9 billionaires this year — here’s how their absence is bad news for every New Yorker
The Big Apple’s billionaires are hemorrhaging cash.
Nine New York-based billionaires fell off this year’s Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans — and 18 have dropped off in the past five years.
Of those who didn’t make it back onto this year’s list, one died – investor Jim Simons – and the rest saw declining fortunes.
Fortress Investment Group Chairman Wesley Edens saw his net worth plummet to $2.7 billion this year from $3.9 billion in 2023, knocking him out of the top 400.
Similarly, cosmetics mogul Estée Lauder’s granddaughter, Jane Lauder, is now worth $1.6 billion, less than half her $3.4 billion last year.
Gotham remains home to the most billionaires of any American city, with 41, worth a collective $517.5 billion, according to this year’s Forbes roundup.
Los Angeles and San Francisco are second with 15 billionaires each. Austin, Texas, is second to the Big Apple when measuring billionaires’ net worth, at $382.2 billion.
The state on the top 1% of earners, who are taxed at an eye-popping 14.8%, for almost half of its tax receipts.
Over the past five years, billionaires including investor and Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris, hedge funder Daniel Och and investor Carl Icahn relocated from the Big Apple to Florida.
Catsimatidis, who is worth $4.5 billion, cited sky-high taxes and quality of life issues as reasons his fellow magnates are fleeing New York.
"When my ex, Amber Heard and I broke up, I brought her a receipt of everything I ever did for her and she paid it back in full. I'm very stîngy with ladies." - Elon Musk
"Amber Heard loved spending money carelessly when she was dating me as long as it was my money. She even gave out money to charity so she could have a good name. But one thing she didn't know is that I'm a businessman and even my emotions don't mingle with my business. I documented everything I spent on her. I mean every single dime.
I didn't buy Twitter for political or business reasons but I bought it for Amber Heard. I wanted to give it to her as a Valentine's Day gift but she broke up with me before Valentine's Day when she found a new boyfriend on Twitter.
After she broke up with me, I banned her from Twitter and named it X. Then I gave her boyfriend a Job in my company Tesla and her boyfriend broke up with her for breaking up with his boss because of him.
Then I presented her with the receipt of every penny I ever gave her during our relationship and she paid everything in full because before our relationship, I had her sign a document that she would pay back my money if we didn't end up together. I'm very stingy with ladies and I guess that's why I'm still single." ~ Elon Musk
Bank of America Bracing for $800,000,000 Loss As Investigators Probe BofA, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo’s Alleged Refusal To Reimburse Customers
The second-largest US bank by total assets says it’s preparing for significant losses due to ongoing regulatory issues.
In a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bank of America says it faces a “reasonably possible and estimable” loss of up to $800 million due to investigations from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other federal regulators.
The CFPB staff has initiated discussions with the Corporation to pursue a resolution of the inquiry or file an enforcement action. The Corporation is evaluating next steps, including litigation.”
Bank of America also says it’s engaging with several unnamed federal regulators over its anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programs and a resolution of the discussions could result in “one or more public orders by the regulators.”
Investigators are reportedly probing BofA, along with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo to determine whether the banks are properly reimbursing victims of fraud on the Zelle payments network and whether the banks are effectively eliminating scammer’s accounts.
Zelle has also attracted the attention of US lawmakers.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in July that Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase had collectively declined to reimburse $880 million in disputed transactions on Zelle between 2021 and 2023.
The subcommittee found that the three trillion-dollar banks only reimbursed victims 38% of the time for reported Zelle scams in 2023. In 2019, the three reportedly reimbursed victims of Zelle scams 62% of the time.
China's yuan loans grow by 16.52 trillion yuan in 1st 10 months
China's yuan-denominated loans rose by 16.52 trillion yuan (about US$2.3 trillion) in the first 10 months of the year, central bank data showed on Monday.
China has adopted a series of pro-growth policies, which have not only stabilized social expectations, but also boosted market confidence, accelerated capital flow, and improved market activity, experts said.
The M2, a broad measure of money supply that covers cash in circulation and all deposits, increased 7.5 percent year on year to 309.71 trillion yuan at the end of October 2024, according to the People's Bank of China.
The M2 growth rate continued to pick up, demonstrating the country's greater efforts in maintaining stable economic growth, analysts said.
The M1, which covers cash in circulation plus demand deposits, stood at 63.34 trillion yuan at the end of October, down 6.1 percent year on year.
The M0, which indicates the amount of cash in circulation, rose by 12.8 percent from the previous year to a total of 12.24 trillion yuan at the end of last month, the data revealed.
Outstanding yuan loans reached 254.1 trillion yuan at the end of October, an increase of 8 percent year on year.
Data also showed that outstanding social financing stood at 403.45 trillion yuan at the end of October, up 7.8 percent year on year.
Despite a high base last year, social financing managed to maintain high growth -- reflecting the greater role of finance in supporting the real economy.
Experts believe there is still a solid foundation for steady financial growth, considering that some incremental policies are still being implemented.
AI predicts Cardano price for 2025 amid Hoskinson-Trump rumors
Cardano (ADA) has marked an impressive recovery this November, reclaiming much of its lost value following a tough year. After a difficult 2024 that saw ADA decline by over 40% through October, recent developments and market conditions have catalyzed a resurgence.
Adding to the momentum are key rumors surrounding Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and his possible role in a new U.S. administration, which have further spurred interest in the cryptocurrency.
Currently trading near $0.6214, Cardano’s outlook appears optimistic. In fact, AI-driven projections suggest potential gains of over 100% by March 2025.
The Trump-Hoskinson rumor: Could it drive Cardano’s price higher?
Recently, rumors have swirled about Hoskinson’s potential involvement with a new Trump administration, fueling speculation around Cardano’s future in the crypto policy landscape.
During a recent YouTube livestream, Hoskinson revealed that Input Output Global (IOG) is preparing to launch a dedicated policy division by January 2025.
Another crucial factor behind Cardano’s resurgence is Bitcoin’s recent record-breaking performance, which has created a favorable environment for altcoins like Cardano.
According to data from Santiment, Cardano’s rise is due to a combination of increased network activity and notable whale transactions.
AI forecasts Cardano’s potential surge: Could ADA hit $1?
Given the combination of favorable market conditions, strategic positioning, and growing institutional interest, Finbold consulted ChatGPT-4o to assess Cardano’s potential for growth.
According to AI models, Cardano could potentially double its value to $1 by March 2025 if whale activity remains strong and positive regulatory developments continue to bolster its upward trend.

Savvy crypto trader turns $318k into over $3 million in an hour
A savvy cryptocurrency investor has recorded a ten-fold return on an investment of approximately $318,000 through precise market monitoring.
The transaction involved Solana (SOL) and the artificial intelligence-themed Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) in a trade conducted on Raydium, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain.
Details of the trade indicate that the investor invested 1,558 SOL ($318,000) to acquire 10.9 million ACT tokens, according to the latest data retrieved by Finbold from on-chain crypto analysis platform Lookonchain on November 11.
Drivers of ACT popularity
ACT is one of the meme coins that has gained popularity since its launch on the Solana blockchain, fueled by growing community enthusiasm and the general bullish market sentiment.
The token’s spike was ignited after Binance announced its listing on November 11 under the ACT/USDT pair, with withdrawals set for November 12. The announcement also included another popular meme coin, Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT).
Notably, ACT is part of the latest wave of meme coins listed by Binance in 2024. Despite an initially low market cap, it earned a place on the exchange as it appears to be listing these coins based on community enthusiasm.
This approach has raised concerns that Binance might be evolving into a ‘pump and dump’ platform, with accusations of intentionally harming retail investors and creating an unhealthy meme coin environment.
ACT price analysis
ACT was valued at $0.333 as of press time, marking a staggering 1,400% increase in the past 24 hours.
The short-term buying pressure has resulted in the meme coin recording a market cap of $315 million, peaking at almost $350 million at one point, with over 21,000 holders

Silver Will Take Out $50 'in a Flash' as Debt Panic Sets in: Michael Oliver
Renowned commodities expert Michael Oliver predicts a meteoric rise in silver prices, potentially reaching $50 an ounce.
In a recent interview, Oliver, the founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, outlined a scenario with Commodity Culture where a combination of factors could send silver prices soaring. At the heart of this prediction lies the looming threat of a debt crisis, which could trigger a flight to safety towards precious metals like silver and gold.
The Role of the T-Bond Market
Oliver believes the T-bond market could play a crucial role in this scenario. He sees a potential for a short-term rally in T-bonds as investors seek safety during a stock market downturn. However, he warns that this is a temporary reprieve, as the underlying debt crisis will continue to exert pressure on the market.
Oliver also sees opportunities in the broader commodity market, particularly in agricultural commodities like fertilizers. He believes the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCI) is poised for a major upswing, driven by factors such as rising demand and geopolitical tensions.
While silver may not be the primary focus of the interview, Oliver's overall analysis of the global economic landscape paints a bullish picture for the precious metal. As investors seek safe havens and inflation hedges, silver could emerge as a significant beneficiary of the coming market turmoil.
As the global economy navigates these uncertain times, it's clear that silver is a metal worth watching. With the potential for a dramatic price surge, investors may want to consider adding silver to their portfolios.

2025 would see a US dollar crisis that would crash the economy and send consumer prices and long-term interest rates soaring, says Peter Schiff
Peter Schiff is already predicting a doomsday scenario for 2025, as he is of the opinion that the coming year will see the US dollar tumbling down the hill, leading the US economy into a crash. If that is not enough, the veteran market analyst is also of the opinion that long-term interest prices would also see a sharp rise, that would ultimately lead to a major pressure falling on the Americans' pockets.
Will the US dollar sink in 2025?
Schiff, the chief economist and global strategist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, is of the opinion that an upcoming shift in the US Federal Reserve's strategy may in fact lead to an escalation in inflation levels than what it currently is, which could send the US economy into a whirlwind. Along these same lines, he is also concerned about the future of the US dollar and the overall national economy if the main currency of the West takes a sudden dive.
What could a US dollar crisis mean for the global markets
Schiff claimed that the Dollar Index closed at 100.67, and could easily sink below the 90-mark before year-end, which even puts the lows of 2020 to shame. This means that 2025 may not be a great year for the US dollar in the overall aspect, if things went on course as of the current scenario. A weaker dollar generally makes U.S. exports cheaper and more competitive in terms of the global markets, but it also carries along a major con that it makes imports more expensive, leading to consumer prices taking a hit for some selective sectors dependent on foreign imports.

Chinese PhD's €88,000 dowry request makes Dutch boyfriend flee
A Chinese PhD student studying in the Netherlands found herself in a surprising situation after requesting a significant dowry from her Dutch boyfriend, leading him to call the police and flee.
The woman, born in 1991 and pursuing her doctoral studies abroad through a government scholarship, had previously married a man in China with a dowry of 660,000 yuan (approximately €88,000) before moving overseas. However, the marriage ended in divorce after four years. Seeking to settle in the Netherlands, she began dating a local man, hoping to start a family and secure residency through marriage.
The couple cohabitated, and upon discovering her pregnancy, she decided to uphold her cultural traditions by requesting a dowry before marriage. However, her request was for €88,000 (around 680,000 yuan), a sum that shocked her Dutch boyfriend.
The sizable financial demand prompted her boyfriend to flee, leaving her and the unborn child behind. He even reported the situation to the local authorities, possibly due to misunderstanding the cultural practice or perceiving it as a form of extortion. The experience likely deterred him from engaging with Chinese or other Asian women in the future, given the financial burden he encountered.
Despite the challenges, the PhD student remained consistent in her expectations. She had asked her Chinese ex-husband for a 660,000 yuan dowry and did not lower her standards for her Dutch boyfriend. Her decision not to forgo or reduce the dowry reflects her principles and refusal to adopt double standards based on nationality. Nonetheless, this choice comes with the consequence of raising a child alone in a foreign country, illustrating the cultural clash and personal costs associated with such traditions.
China's consumer prices see stable growth in October
China's consumer prices reported mild increases in October as the domestic demand continued to improve amid a sustained economic recovery.
The consumer price index, a main inflation gauge, was up 0.3 percent year on year in October, slightly lower than the 0.4 percent rise in September, the National Bureau of Statistics said Saturday.
Falling energy prices dragged down the price level last month, while food prices registered stable growth, according to NBS statistician Dong Lijuan.
The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.2 percent from a year ago in October, up from 0.1 percent in September.
On a monthly basis, the CPI slipped 0.3 percent in October after remaining unchanged in September.
The NBS data also showed the country's producer price index (PPI), which measures costs for goods at the factory gate, went down 2.9 percent year on year in October, slightly widening from the 2.8 percent decline in September.
Compared to a month earlier, the PPI only dropped 0.1 percent, narrowing from the 0.6 percent decline in September and 0.7 percent in August.
The overall price level in China has maintained a stable trend this year thanks to an upward economy, effective pro-growth policies, and warming domestic demand.
The country in March unveiled a program of promoting large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins to stimulate domestic demand and shore up the economy, which has bolstered consumer sentiment and boosted the sales of a wide range of products from automobiles to home appliances.
Looking forward, the mild recovery in inflation is expected to continue for the rest of the year due to better economic situations, seasonal factors, and the weakening carryover effect, Sheng Laiyun, deputy head of the NBS, has said.
