Investigation probes inside-job angle in Greg Biffle NC home burglary

Investigators are treating the January burglary of NASCAR star Greg Biffle’s Mooresville, NC home as a possible inside job tied to earlier suspicious activity after the family’s December plane crash; authorities say a woman known to the family was seen in surveillance footage, and email and banking accounts were compromised in a fraud scheme that stretched across states, with hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen and items including cash, firearms, and NASCAR memorabilia taken from the residence.

"Six Arrested in $22M Toronto Airport Gold Heist, Including Airline Worker"

Six people have been arrested in connection with the $22 million gold heist at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, with police alleging it was an "inside job" involving former Air Canada employees. The theft, which occurred in April 2023, saw a cargo container carrying gold bars and foreign currency stolen using fake paperwork. The investigation, dubbed "Project 24Karat," involved the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and authorities believe the stolen gold and cash were intended to finance firearms trafficking into Canada. Only a fraction of the stolen gold and cash has been recovered, with police finding five crudely melted gold bangles worth about $90,000.

The conversation became heated, with Ramaswamy accusing the establishment of disapproval and the audience applauding. This is not the first contentious exchange between Ramaswamy and Phillip. CNN's decision to host Ramaswamy for a town hall has drawn criticism for legitimizing a GOP presidential hopeful accused of spreading dangerous lies.
