A Berkeley chemical engineer who suffered years of unexplained illness discovered through a spy camera from Amazon that her coworker, David Xu, was poisoning her food and water with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal for nearly 18 months between 2017 and 2019. The victim experienced significant health problems and at times required emergency care at a hospital. Newly released video shows Xu appearing to put a substance in her water bottle in 2019.

Xu was arrested that year and charged with attempted murder and two counts of poisoning, offenses that could have sent him to prison for life. But under a plea deal, the attempted murder charge and one poisoning count were dropped. Xu pleaded no contest to one felony poisoning charge and received two years of probation, with credit for one day served. He completed probation in March and is now seeking to have his felony conviction dismissed.

Simon Andriesz @SAndriesz has died. He took his own life this week, while staying at a trauma treatment centre, the same place he had gone to try to survive what years of fighting had done to him.

I wrote the piece below about him at the start of August. We last spoke on 13 August. Reading my own words back now feels different. Heavier. I did not know then that this would be the last chapter.

Simon gave me his story directly. The embezzlement he uncovered, the fraud he reported, the heart attacks, the police complaints, the years @TheFCA spent doing almost nothing while his life fell apart around him.

He handed the CFTC and HMRC enough to secure real fines. He handed the BBC enough for a full documentary.

And still the one regulator that was supposed to protect him let him carry all of it alone for 7 years.

He was one of the most credible people I have ever spoken to. Everything he told me checked out. And he still ended up broken by the very system meant to catch people like him when they fell.

I am angry writing this. Angry that a man this capable, this thorough, this willing to hand over evidence and testimony for years, was left to fight completely alone until he could not fight anymore.

Simon Andriesz deserved better. Rest in peace.

If you are struggling right now, please do not go through it alone. Samaritans are free, 24 hours, on 116 123.

"Howard Lutnick lost 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who were killed on 9/11..."

Within days — before many were even confirmed dead — Howard Lutnick cut off their paychecks to their families without warning.

He wept on national television. The families were furious.
Years later Cantor Fitzgerald won a $135 million settlement from American Airlines.

Lutnick told senior executives the bulk of the money would go to the firm's partners — not the families of the 658 dead.

He is now Trump's Secretary of Commerce.
He is also the man who lied to Congress about visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island with eight children.

An Arizona man convicted of killing a road-rage victim will be resentenced after an AI-generated video of the victim forgiving him was improperly used during sentencing.

The initial judge said he felt that the AI-generated depiction of the victim portrayed “genuine forgiveness.”

1,200 sexual assault cases were filed at Cornell from 2018 to 2024. Most of those found responsible received minor sanctions that allowed them to remain on campus, such as probation or training. Only 7 ended in expulsion or dismissal.
