NEW: FedEx driver who is accused of abducting and strangling a seven-year-old girl, puts his face in his hand as a photo is displayed of him driving her to her death.
7-year-old Athena Strand was seen standing behind Tanner Horner in his FedEx truck.
Athena was allegedly snatched by Horner when he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas.
Horner initially claimed that he accidentally hit the girl with the truck before "panicking" and pulling her into the vehicle.
He said he then strangled her in the vehicle and dumped the body 7 miles from the home.
The photo, however, shows that Athena was alert in the truck and did not appear to have been struck by the truck.
Wise County District Attorney James Stainton says the jury will see footage on the day of the killing, depicting the moment Athena was strangled to death.
"Somebody covered up the camera because they don't want you to see. Guess what? Audio is still running, and you're going to hear it. You're going to hear what a 250-pound man can do to a 67-pound child," he said.
"And when I say it's horrible, I mean it. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I promise you, buckle up."
Horner qualifies for the death penalty.
@Truebitprotocol Hey @Truebitprotocol and @JasonTeutsch
your attitude is not good for your TRU token investor.
Many people 's hard money is gone because of you only.
You have to pay of our single tears. 😭. Karma will never leave you.
Truebit is continuing to work with US law enforcement and external cybersecurity specialists to investigate the recent attack on the TRU smart contracts.
Truebit’s new platform, Truebit Verify, has been in development over the last four years. The recent attack on the TRU smart contracts did not compromise Truebit Verify’s operation. TRU interfaces with Truebit Verify as a staking-based countermeasure intended to protect against Sybil attacks and faulty behavior. These protections remain in effect, including managing Node operator participation, auditable dispute resolution, and deregistration of identified faulty Nodes. Truebit Verify’s API tasks, Dynamic Oracles, and Verified Orchestration features also remain fully functional.
⚡️FLASHBACK: WHEN GOOGLE BOUGHT YOUTUBE
$GOOGL acquired YouTube for $1.65B in 2006. Today, YouTube generates about $1.65B in revenue every 15 days.
YouTube now has over 2.7B monthly users and generated more than $40B in annual ad revenue in recent years.
It is one of Google’s most valuable acquisitions ever.
🚨CELSIUS FOUNDER ALEX MASHINSKY BANNED FOR LIFE FROM CRYPTO
A U.S. judge approved an FTC settlement permanently barring Mashinsky from promoting or marketing crypto products.
He must also pay $10M, with a suspended $4.72B judgment that can be reinstated if he misrepresents his finances.
Hey. I doubt Adam forgot the 13 year old Sth. American girls promised to service them while there.
I was offered this in 2012 and 13.
I refused and nearly all VC money dried up. Funny how the deal with the devil works.
My life, one is almost embarrassed to admit, has contrived to reassemble itself. Not elegantly—nothing so theatrical—but with the quiet persistence of something that refuses, quite stubbornly, to remain broken. It did, of course, fall apart. Spectacularly, at times. There were years—far too many to be dismissed as a mere interlude—when I was less a man than a collection of fragments, held together by habit and a certain perverse refusal to disappear entirely.
One learns, in such periods, that collapse is rarely dramatic in the way novels promise. It is instead administrative. Papers go unsigned, days go unmarked, purpose becomes negotiable. And yet, somehow, one continues. It is the most irritating feature of existence.
Now, imagine—if one can tolerate the exercise—having brought something into being. Not merely an idea, but a mechanism, a system, a form of cash whispered into existence and left, rather carelessly, to circulate. Imagine having suggested, hinted, perhaps even declared its nature, only to watch as it finds its audience.
And then imagine, with a certain grim amusement, that the only enthusiast to arrive promptly is the devil.
It is a vulgar metaphor, of course, but vulgarity has its uses. One creates with intent, or at least with a theory of intent, and the world responds not with the anticipated chorus of rational actors but with something altogether more feral. Adoption is never dignified. It is messy, opportunistic, and deeply revealing of the creatures who first recognise utility when they see it.
There is a peculiar isolation in that realisation. Not pride—pride would be too simple—but a kind of cold observation. One sets a system into motion, and the earliest participants are not the philosophers, nor the careful stewards, but those who see immediately how it may be bent, tested, exploited, or worn like a mask.
And so, yes—life collapses, and life reconstitutes itself. Not because it is deserved, but because it persists. And what one has made continues also, indifferent to the condition of its maker, circulating through hands one would not choose, in contexts one did not design, answering questions that were never asked quite that way.
There is no tragedy in this. Only consequence.
And consequence, unlike reputation, has the decency to be honest.
@AllBiteNoBark88 No, Epstein did not create Bitcoin. He funded the core devs who changed Satoshi’s design. This is why BTC is a co-opted chain hijacked by the establishment. BSV continues Satoshi’s design following the white paper. A scalable blockchain that enables high throughput for global use
Adam Back is a pathetic weasel.
We all know BTC was co-opted & hijacked (Blockstream, SegWit, Taproot).
We all know BTC devs received funding from Jeffrey Epstein.
We all know BTC is being passed off as Bitcoin.
We all know people are finding out the truth.
We all know.
@CaffeSatoshi I think this movie must be very popular in China! It is very in line with our values. Chinese people clearly know that Bitcoin was hijacked by Epstein, and we know very well that Craig is Satoshi Nakamoto!
