FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION PRESS STATEMENT BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company. This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance. It is nothing but a diversionary tactic and an attempted act of blackmail by a company desperate to obfuscate the grievous criminal charges it is facing in Nigeria. The facts of this matter remain that Binance is being inve

According to BBC,A top Indian law university in the eastern state of West Bengal has introduced a course based on the fictional world of Harry Potter.
The course uses the role of law in the series to draw parallels between the stories and real-life situations.
Professor Shouvik Kumar Guha, who designed it, says it is an "experiment" to "encourage creative thinking."
Several universities in the US and at least one in the UK also offer courses inspired by the famous series.
The course in India, which is entitled "An interface between Fantasy Fiction Literature and Law: Special focus on Rowling's Potterverse", is expected to include a total of 45 hours of discussion-based teaching.
Some of the topics mentioned in the course module point out how social and class rights in India can be equated with the "enslavement of house-elves and the marginalisation of werewolves" in the fantasy series.
Mr Guha said the course, which begins in December, has already reached its capacity of 40 students and many other students have since approached him with requests to increase the class size.
Harry Potter's unmatched popularity in India is the reason Mr Guha decided to pick the series as opposed to Game of Thrones or Star Trek, he said.
The course will be offered as an elective to senior students at Kolkata's National University of Juridical Sciences.
"In our current system, we simply tell students the black letter of law," Mr Guha told the BBC.
"Will they be able to apply pre-existing laws to situations that have never come up before?"
He added that he wanted to use fictional examples to let students look at situations that can arise especially when "our country is going through massive changes".
Mr Guha said that the course was an experiment in pushing law students to "come out of their comfort zones" and to learn from a fantasy series that most of them grew up reading.
"You can also see so many examples of how media is subverted by political institutions in the Potter books and see parallels in the real world," he said.
"[Harry Potter author JK] Rowling's universe talks a lot about how legal institutions are failing in some scenarios."
This is the second Indian law school to offer such a course.
More than 500 million copies of the seven original Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide in 79 languages.
Many universities in the US, including top institutions such as Yale and Georgetown, did the same, but none of them offered courses in law. Their offerings ranged from courses in theology to the "scientific means" of magic.
The curriculum for the "Potterverse" law course includes some of the following topics:
Legal traditions and institutions, including liberty and the rule of law in a magical society, and bureaucracy in the ministry of magic
Unforgivable curses, Wizengamot trials, the innocence of Sirius Black and the persecution of Tom Riddle
Social values, identity and class rights as seen in the enslavement of house elves or the marginalisation of werewolves, giants and centaurs
Contracts and agency - for instance, unbreakable vows and Snape and the order of Phoenix
