  1. ईडी का आरोप पत्र • 22 करोड़ नकदी, बैंक खाते, म्यूचुअल फंड और एफडी भी फ्रीज
  2. मामले में 32 आरोपियों के खिलाफ अभियोजन परिवाद (प्रॉसिक्यूशन कंप्लेंट) दायर किया गया है
  3. सरकारी धन को ठिकाने लगाने, छुपाने और गबन करने के आरोप लगाए गए हैं

नईदुनिया प्रतिनिधि, इंदौर । नगर निगम के फर्जी बिल घोटाले को लेकर प्रवर्तन निदेशालय (ईडी) ने पीएमएलए कोर्ट में 20 हजार पेज की चार्जशीट दायर की है। इसमें घोटाले की राशि 90 करोड़ रुपए से बढ़कर 103 करोड़ 42 लाख रुपए हो गई है।

मामले में 32 आरोपियों के खिलाफ अभियोजन परिवाद (प्रॉसिक्यूशन कंप्लेंट) दायर किया गया है। इन आरोपियों में नगर निगम के अधिकारी, स्थानीय निधि लेखा एवं रेजिडेंट ऑडिट कार्यालय के कर्मचारी, ठेकेदार और अन्य निजी व्यक्ति शामिल हैं। सभी पर मनी लॉन्ड्रिंग के माध्यम से सरकारी धन को ठिकाने लगाने, छुपाने और गबन करने के आरोप लगाए गए हैं।

ईडी ने अपने आरोप-पत्र में कोर्ट को बताया है कि 5 और 6 अगस्त 2024 को 20 ठिकानों पर मारे गए छापे में उन्होंने 22.04 करोड़ रुपए की संपत्तियों को फ्रीज किया गया था, जिसमें नगद राशि, बैंक खाते, एफडी, डीमैट खाते और म्यूचुअल फंड शामिल हैं। इसके अलावा ईडी ने 52 अचल संपत्तियों को भी कुर्क किया है, जिनका मूल्य 37.14 करोड़ रुपए है। इनमें मध्य प्रदेश और उत्तर प्रदेश स्थित मकान, व्यावसायिक भवन, भूखंड और कृषि भूमि शामिल हैं। अब तक मामले में कुल 59.18 करोड़ रुपए की संपत्तियां जब्त, फ्रीज या अटैच की जा चुकी हैं।

ईडी ने इन संपत्तियों को राजसात करने की मांग की है। विशेष पीएमएलए कोर्ट ने सभी आरोपियों को समन जारी कर मामले की सुनवाई की अगली तारीख तय कर दी है। ईडी ने यह जांच एमजी रोड थाने में दर्ज कई एफआईआर के आधार पर शुरू की थी। जांच में सामने आया कि जिन कार्यों के नाम पर भुगतान हुआ, वे या तो हुए ही नहीं थे या पहले ही पूरे हो चुके थे।

ईडी ने बताया.. फर्जी वर्क ऑर्डर और बिल तैयार किए

ईडी ने चार्जशीट में बताया है कि इस पूरे घोटाले के मास्टरमाइंड पूर्व सहायक यंत्री अभय सिंह राठौर, मोहम्मद जाकिर और राहुल वडेरा थे। कई आरोपी ठेकेदार कंपनियों ने निगम अधिकारियों के साथ सांठगांठ करते हुए फर्जी वर्क ऑर्डर फाइल और बिल बनाए और 103 करोड़ 42 लाख रुपए के राशि को अपने खातों में प्राप्त किया और आपस में बांटा गया। साथ ही बिजनेस ट्रांजैक्शन की आड़ में यह अन्य कंपनियों और संस्थाओं को भी राशि दी गई, जिसकी मदद से कई चल-अचल संपत्तियां अर्जित की गईं और निजी खर्च में इस राशि का उपयोग किया गया।

Ebay Has to Pay $55.7 Million in Settlement for Its Unhinged Harassment Campaign<div><p>A civil litigation case against eBay, filed by the founders of a Massachusetts-based news site that covers ecommerce, has just been settled. The gist of it: The company and former execs have to own up to—and pay up for—<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/ebay-employees-charged-cyberstalking-harassment-campaign/" class="text link">perhaps the most disturbing harassment campaign</a> ever led by a giant tech company against its critics.</p><p class="paywall">Back in 2020, six former eBay employees and one contractor were charged with participating in a horrifying campaign—featuring doxxing, threats, and deliveries of live pests—against David and Ina Steiner, the husband-and-wife founders of the Massachusetts-based news site <em>EcommerceBytes</em>. The Steiners wrote about eBay regularly, and often not in a flattering light. In 2021, the couple filed a civil suit; EBay <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/ebay-inc-pay-3-million-connection-corporate-cyberstalking-campaign-targeting" class="text link">later agreed to pay a $3 million criminal penalty</a> to the US Attorney’s Office in the District of Massachusetts.</p><p class="paywall">Now the civil litigation case just reached a final settlement. The Steiners will receive more than $46.15 million from eBay, $2 million from Wenig, $500,000 from former eBay executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former eBay executive Steve Wymer.</p><p class="paywall">EBay is also giving $6 million to charity, with an additional $1 million from Wenig going to a nonprofit that protects First Amendment rights. The company is required to issue a strongly worded statement condemning the actions of the former employees who were involved.</p><p class="paywall">Notably, the settlement contains no confidentiality provision, which means the Steiners can continue to speak out about the case.</p><p class="paywall">“From day one, that was a dealbreaker,” says Chris Murphy, an attorney for the Steiners at the personal injury firm Scalli Murphy Law in Everett, Massachusetts. “As journalists, and as victims, the Steiners were very clear that they wanted everyone to see and understand what eBay did to them. And from day one, they were ready to go to trial over it.”</p><p class="paywall">“It’s a relief in some sense that we have some finality,” David Steiner said in an interview with WIRED. “But I think that it’s going to take a while to really see what this means in the bigger context of a settlement, versus having gone to trial. We were really adamant that this type of behavior by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.”</p><p class="paywall">Ina Steiner underscored that the couple ultimately pursued a civil suit because they wanted to better understand the kind of culture that precipitated this harassment campaign—and that in filing the civil suit, they gained access to 68,000 documents they would not have otherwise seen. “We were often in the dark during the federal investigation, and we were told very little as victims,” she said.</p><p class="paywall">Spokespersons for eBay referred WIRED to a statement <a data-offer-url="https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/ebay-statement-regarding-agreement-with-ina-and-david-steiner/" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/ebay-statement-regarding-agreement-with-ina-and-david-steiner/"}" href="https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/ebay-statement-regarding-agreement-with-ina-and-david-steiner/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">published online</a>, in which the company extended its “deepest apologies” to the Steiners, condemned the employees who “perpetrated and pled guilty to criminal charges for the misconduct against Ina and David Steiner,” and acknowledged “the unprofessional tone in internal communications demonstrated, to different degrees and number, by Mr. Wenig, Mr. Wymer, and Ms. Jones.” The company emphasized that new leadership is now in charge, and that the incidents from 2019 are “not representative of eBay’s culture or thousands of employees around the world today.”</p><p class="paywall">According to the initial criminal complaints, the harassment campaign led by eBay executives and contractors unfolded over a period of two months in the summer 2019. It began with anonymous, threatening Twitter DMs to the Steiners, then quickly escalated to deliveries to the couple’s home. These deliveries included a bloody pig mask, pornography, a package of fly larvae and live spiders, and another package containing live cockroaches. Other deliveries were themed around death, including a copy of a book on grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath from a local florist. All throughout, the anonymous Twitter account continued to send harassing messages. As text messages would later reveal in court documents, those DMs and deliveries were concocted and sent by the defendants.</p></div>#Ebay #Pay #Million #Settlement #Unhinged #Harassment #Campaignebay,harassment,crime,surveillance

Revisiting the 4 biggest recent WNBA midseason trades <div id="zephr-anchor"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The WNBA trade deadline is just around the corner — coming up on Sunday at 2 pm ET — and while activity has historically been pretty limited in the days leading up to the deadline, that’s begun to change as of late.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">But, over the past few years, midseason transactions have become more commonplace. As the deadline nears, let’s take a look at which transactions proved successful, and which ones didn’t.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup"><strong>NaLyssa Smith to the Las Vegas Aces</strong> (2025)</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The Aces traded for NaLyssa Smith last June, and she ended up being the missing piece in their title run. Smith, who had begun the year with the Dallas Wings, immediately became an impact player alongside A’ja Wilson in Las Vegas.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">In the first half of the year in Dallas, she had averaged 6.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, while shooting just 42.1% from the field. But in the final 27 games of the season with Las Vegas, Smith bumped that average to 8.2 points on 55.6% shooting. This season, she is averaging 11.8 points on a scorching-hot 66.7% shooting.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Smith was traded to the Wings in exchange for the Aces’ 2027 first-round draft pick; how impactful that player ends up being remains to be seen. Regardless, because the move resulted in a title, it’ll be hard to argue that it’s unsuccessful in any way.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup"><strong>DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx (2025) </strong></h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The Minnesota Lynx traded for DiJonai Carrington ahead of the trade deadline, in exchange for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round draft pick. Carrington fit seamlessly — she averaged 8.6 points off the bench, while shooting 45.5% from beyond the arc in 11 regular-season games. But in the second game of the playoffs, she suffered a left mid-foot sprain that ruled her out of the rest of the playoffs.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Ultimately, the Lynx lost to the Mercury in the Semi-Finals. But it made sense for them to go out and pursue Carrington, since Miller wasn’t playing, Samuelson was out for the season, and a championship appeared within each.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup"><strong>Marina Mabrey to the Connecticut Sun (2024)</strong></h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The Sun went all-in ahead of the 2024 playoffs, and while it didn’t pan out, it made sense to go all-in at the time. Connecticut went on to lose in Game 5 of the Semi-Finals, but Mabrey gave them a boost through that playoffs and very well could have been the missing piece to a title.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The Sun received Mabrey and a 2025 second-round draft pick in exchange for Rachel Banham, Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round draft pick, and the right to swap 2026 first-round picks. Mabrey had a career year for Connecticut last season, but ultimately walked away in free agency to join the Toronto Tempo.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">In hindsight, the 2024 midseason trade didn’t pan out for the Sun and cost them crucial draft capital. But, considering that the Sun were one of the WNBA’s best teams, and DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas, and Brionna Jones were all potentially going to depart in the offseason, it made sense for them to go all-in ahead of the 2024 playoffs and add a talented scorer to a veteran group eager to win a franchise-first title.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup"><strong>Myisha Hines-Allen to the Minnesota Lynx (2024) </strong></h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">The Lynx traded for then-Washington Mystics forward Myisha Hines-Allen ahead of the 2024 playoffs, in exchange for Olivia Epoupa, forward Sika Koné, and a second-round pick in the 2026 WNBA draft.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Hines-Allen joined Minnesota to help bolster the frontcourt ahead of their Finals run. She averaged 4 points and 3.3 rebounds off the bench in 10 playoff games that season, but ultimately fell out of the rotation. The former Louisville star didn’t end up being the missing piece for the Lynx, who fell to the New York Liberty in the Finals.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">But, like the Marina Mabrey trade, it made sense for a championship contender to make a move in hopes of bolstering their roster in the short-term.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Which championship contenders will look to add a final piece to their roster ahead of the trade deadline? It worked out for the Aces last year, and other teams may increasingly follow suit.</p></div></div> #Revisiting #biggest #WNBA #midseason #trades
