Trump Media is trying to capture a @theterminal niche. And/but the public is learning about it because of @MelinAnders's reporting on @theterminal. https://t.co/XevcGgsA4e

Bangladeshi workers pay recruitment fees of up to US$6,600 to work in Malaysia, significantly higher than those paid by other migrant groups, only to face exploitation and trafficking, Bloomberg reports.

Several migrants allege that senior Malaysian officials are aware of the abuses and personally profit from the recruitment fees, including through involvement with Bestinet.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission was set up to fight graft. Now some of its members have been accused of the very wrongdoing they are meant to stop, allegedly helping a group of businessmen seize control of companies.

Questions about the commission’s conduct go all the way to the top.

So easy to say that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. So difficult to show -- piece by piece, dollar by dollar, man by man -- how corruption works and the toll it takes. Read and share this gift link to @MelinAnders and @AuntieSambal's work https://t.co/BvtldKTQof

I'm a reporter and I don't care who the Post's ed board endorses. A fearless independent newsroom -- which we've so far enjoyed under Jeff Bezos' ownership -- is what I hope we will maintain.

"Roughly two years into his term, it’s increasingly looking like he’s opted for revenge — and, according to Anwar’s critics, the MACC is at the center of this retribution."

(Both Anwar and MACC strongly deny this.)

[Bloomberg @business]

Since Anwar Ibrahim became Malaysia’s PM, the country's anti-corruption drive has targeted his enemies. He denies involvement in the investigations - but critics say he's using an independent agency to punish adversaries https://t.co/0ffylyuQVa

my favorite new york social code is when a lone person needs to get a stroller up the subway stairs.

nearly instantly, a stranger picks up the other end of the stroller,
helps carry it up, then departs as quickly as they appeared.
no words are exchanged. eye contact is minimal.

"There was never a point where the Adani thesis was financially justifiable for us," Hindenburg said in a July 1 post.

[Anders Melin @MelinAnders]

The math is in: Hindenburg Research made $31k from shorting Adani Group bonds.

It made another $4.1 million in gross revenue via an investor.

At the trough of its stock slump, Adani Group lost $151 billion of market value.
