In 2016 a young man named Jamal Hinton got a text from an unknown number inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner. It was the wrong number from a grandma named Wanda Dench (not Jamal’s), and that mistaken text started a 10-year friendship that’s since morphed into a business partnership. Five Californians were arrested in Germany for an alleged fraud scheme related to fake digital currency cards, swindling people of around $345 million. Singapore is bringing back caning as punishment for people who are caught scamming. Starbucks has unveiled its new consumer obsession in the form of a limited-edition bear-shaped cup called the “Bearista.”
