- She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

The 'devil comet' is passing by the earth. Here's how to get a glimpse in Oklahoma
oklahoman.com/story/news/2024/04/18/see-the-devil-comet-as-it-passes-by-the-earth-heres-how/73357132007/
Quick Glance: Return of the 'Devil Comet' after 71 Years
- The green, horned 'Devil comet' is now visible in Australian skies, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a unique celestial body.
- The comet, whose nucleus has a 34km diameter, has been likened to Halley's comet due to its molecular structure and was nicknamed 'Devil comet' due to eruptions from its nucleus.
- The 'Devil comet,' also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes more visible as it gets closer to the sun due to its hot icy core and gas trail. It will be at its brightest on 22 April, but finding it might be challenging as it competes with the full moon.
- Experts suggest initially spotting the comet with binoculars or a telescope, although it will also be visible to the naked eye. It is considered a piece of history and special due to its brightness.

Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer
nypost.com/2024/04/06/us-news/missouri-death-row-inmate-facing-surgery-without-anesthesia-lawyer/
Quick Glance: Missouri death row inmate facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer
- The Missouri Supreme Court denied a request to halt the execution of Brian Dorsey, a death row inmate scheduled to be put to death through lethal injection, despite concerns raised by his legal team about the lack of anesthesia during a potential surgical procedure.
- State law mandates the establishment of primary and intravenous lines for the lethal injection, but fails to specify the extent to which the execution team can intervene to locate a suitable vein.
- Citing Dorsey's medical history and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and past IV drug use, his lawyers have highlighted the increased challenges in finding a viable vein without resorting to invasive procedures.
- In addition to the appeals from numerous corrections officers urging Governor Mike Parson for clemency, leaders within the community have also expressed support for Dorsey.

Quick Glance: Enid, Oklahoma Residents Remove Council Member Associated with White Nationalism
- In Enid, a city in northwest Oklahoma, residents ousted a city council member with ties to white nationalism, as indicated by unofficial results released on Tuesday on the Oklahoma Election Board website.
- Following the reporting of results from all four precincts in Ward 1 in Enid, it was revealed that voters decided to remove 42-year-old Judd Blevins. Instead, Cheryl Patterson, a grandmother and longtime youth leader at a local church, was chosen to take his place.
- Despite his connections to white nationalist groups, Blevins, an Iraq War veteran, was narrowly elected to the position last year.
- The initiative for the recall in Oklahoma was instigated by two long-time Enid residents, close friends Connie Vickers and Nancy Presnall, both Democrats in a region where Republicans hold a voter registration advantage of nearly 4-to-1.
