Could you elaborate on that? Who was busted, and what did they get busted for?

Ok i tried to include a link to that news but couldn't fine a definite link for now since the case is wirh the financial crimes unit and havent been charged to court yet.

But the case is of 192 internet fraud network busted headed by foreigner's here in Nigeria city Lagos, i will share an image shortly, this gang's farms alot of online accounts using it to scam victims and they have family, friend and colleagues official working environment just like the image shared.

Ah, OK. I thought it might have had something to do with forums and posting; internet scams have been happening since the beginning of the internet, so (to me) that's not quite as interesting, but fuck that scamming gang and I'm glad they got caught.

My recommendation for BD User, if you want to get many merits, just keep using the Meta board. Historically, this is where merit sources spend most of their merits.

Technically that's a good recommendation, but in practice it's absolutely awful advice for members who are fans of the Meta section and don't care to see a bunch of members posting there for the sole purpose of earning merits. Know what I'm saying? Besides, I think a lot of shitposters have figured out that if they don't know what the hell they're talking about in any given thread within Meta, they're not going to earn any merits and will probably end up on quite a few ignore lists--which is counterproductive.
