'Chomping at the Bit' to Use Panama Papers to Catch Criminals
Federal agents and prosecutors
are "chomping at the bit" to exploit the Panama Papers and launch
prosecutions, a senior federal law enforcement official told NBC News -- but
want to be sure that the way the huge data dump about offshore money was
obtained doesn't jeopardize their cases.
… "It will
keep a lot of agents very busy for a very long time," the official told
NBC News. "They will be following the leads and figuring out who is trying
to hide stuff illegally - money and also illegal activities."
… The official, who is familiar with ongoing discussions about
the document trove, said agents from every three-letter agency are lining up to
crunch the data to bolster existing cases and build new ones against organized
crime syndicates, drug cartels, foreign corrupt and kleptocratic regimes and
even suspected Hezbollah terror cells in Latin America and possibly the U.S. That includes the FBI, the IRS and other
Treasury agents, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS).
Something for my geeks.
How to
Write a Twitter Bot in 5 Minutes
Twitter Bots can do interesting things. You can tweet questions like “how many
calories are in diet coke” to @DearAssistant and the Twitter bot, like Google Now
or Apple Siri, will reply with the answer. The @HundredZeros
bot tweets links to eBooks that are free on Amazon. Another Twitter bot @WhatTheFare will tell you the Uber fare
between two locations.
A bot is a program that runs in the background and,
when it encounters a command, it performs some action. For instance, you can have a grammar bot that
looks for tweets containing misspellings and tweet the correct spelling.
For students and faculty.
