💎 WTF of the Day

$3M Theft Sends Accountant to Prison

A Rock Hill, South Carolina accountant just got 33 months in federal prison for stealing over $3M from clients. Over seven years, they funneled money into their own pockets, pretending it was for business expenses, but instead spent it on luxury cars, vacations, and personal debt payments.

Prosecutors said the fraud went unnoticed for years because the accountant handled everything, from bookkeeping to taxes, for their victims, giving them total control over the finances.

KPMG’s Big Legal Move

KPMG is aiming to be the first Big 4 accounting firm to own a U.S. law firm. The move would let them offer legal services alongside their accounting, tax, and consulting work, creating a one stop shop for corporate clients.

Here’s the catch, U.S. regulations don’t allow law firms to be owned by non-lawyers, but KPMG is lobbying for changes, arguing it’s the future of integrated services. If they pull it off, it could give them a huge edge over competitors like Deloitte and PwC.

$TRUMP Coin Hits $70B (Briefly)

Donald Trump dropped his own cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, right before his inauguration, and the internet went wild. The coin shot up to a $70 billion market cap in no time, thanks to social media hype and some serious FOMO.

But then Melania entered the chat. She launched $MELANIA, her own crypto, and suddenly everyone started dumping $TRUMP for the new shiny thing. The result? $TRUMP tanked just as fast as it climbed. Classic crypto chaos, wild swings, big hype, and fortunes made or lost overnight.
