Estonian Nationals Plead Guilty in Massive Cryptocurrency Fraud Case

Two Estonian citizens have pleaded guilty to defrauding hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide in a cryptocurrency scheme totaling $577 million. The defendants admitted to operating a series of fraudulent platforms that lured investors with promises of substantial returns, only to misappropriate the funds for personal gain. The US Justice Department extradited the two from Estonia last year.

This case highlights the growing concerns over cryptocurrency-related fraud and the international efforts to combat such schemes. Authorities emphasize the importance of conducting thorough research before investing in digital assets and remaining vigilant against offers that seem too good to be true.

These 4 Things Happen
Right Before a Heart Attack

By S.A. Nickerson

Every year, approximately 785,000 Americans suffer a first heart attack. And 470,000 who've already had one or more heart attacks have another one. The scary thing is that 25 percent of ALL heart attacks happen "silently," without clear or obvious symptoms.

Even when symptoms occur, they can be so mild or vague, most people don't even realize it's heart-related (unless they are made aware). Four things in particular are the most sinister signs of a silent heart attack.

These four things are the focus of a recent video presentation by renowned cardiovascular expert Dr. Chauncey Crandall: 4 Things You'll Feel Right Before a Heart Attack.

According to Dr. Crandall, the reason silent heart attacks go untreated is because people don't even notice the symptoms, so he created a special video presentation to show the four things to look for that may be a silent warning – before it's too late to intervene and survive the damage.

Timing is the most critical factor for survival. Statistics show a clear link between delay in treatment and disability or death – the amount of time that elapses between the first sign of symptoms and receiving care.

That's why knowing what to look for in terms of symptoms is critical, especially when they're the kind that most people don't think to associate with a heart attack – like the four things in Dr. Crandall's video, 4 Things You'll Feel Right Before a Heart Attack.

Dr. Crandall, chief of the cardiac transplant program at the esteemed Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida, practices on the front lines of interventional, vascular, and transplant cardiology. Years of experience have afforded him the chance to detect little-known warning signs and symptoms like the four he addresses.
