 Nigerian makes US Most Wanted List over $1m fraud A Nigerian, Onoriode Ezewu, has been named on the United States Department of Labour’s first-ever Most Wanted List over allegations of money laundering involving fraudulent unemployment benefit claims worth more than $1m. The department’s Office of Inspector General unveiled the list on its website on Wednesday, naming 16 fugitives wanted in cases involving alleged fraud, identity theft, money laundering, labour trafficking and other offences.

CRYPTO BILLIONAIRE SAYS HE PAID $4.5M TO MARRY GLAMOROUS CHINESE ACTRESS. NOW HE WANTS IT BACK AFTER ROMANCE FIZZLED. (PHOTOS).


 Crypto billionaire says he paid $4.5M to marry glamorous Chinese actress. Now he wants it back after romance fizzled


Justin Sun, the billionaire founder of blockchain company Tron, is embroiled in a high‑profile legal dispute with actress Jing Tian and her family. Sun claims he transferred 30 million yuan (about $4.5 million) to Jing’s parents as a traditional marriage payment, but after their relationship collapsed, he filed a lawsuit to recover the money. 


He alleges that the romance ended when Jing’s side demanded $50 million tied to surrogacy plans in the U.S., a request he refused.


Jing, known for roles in The Great Wall and Pacific Rim Uprising, has not shared her full account but responded publicly by saying she had shown “poor judgment” in men and insisted she would “never sell my love for money.” 


She expressed faith in the legal system, adding that “justice and fairness will ultimately prevail.” 


Meanwhile, Sun complicated matters by posting a lengthy social media account of their relationship titled “My Girlfriend Jing Tian,” only to later add a disclaimer that parts of it were fictional, leaving some details impossible to verify.


The lawsuit itself is real, according to Sun’s lawyer, who confirmed that Jing and her parents are named defendants. 


Sun, whose fortune Forbes estimates at $8.5 billion, has a history of headline‑grabbing purchases, including $6.2 million for Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous banana artwork, $4.57 million for a charity lunch with Warren Buffett, and $28 million for a Blue Origin spaceflight seat.


 He has also faced scrutiny from regulators, with the SEC suing him in 2023 for alleged securities violations and market manipulation.
