I’ve been working in crypto for a while now, and it’s finally paying off. Today I picked up a brand-new Audi A7 Sportback. I’m really grateful for the guidance from @Chanellena1c, who helped make it possible.

I'll be live at noon on @WBTV_News with the latest updates from court. The DA was not happy with the judge's decision to grant McKnight bond. He called this an "unspeakable crime" and says McKnight is a "danger to any child she comes in contact with." #cltnews

One day after retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family died in a private plane crash in North Carolina, his mother-in-law said the family doesn't know how they're going to fill the "huge hole" left behind.
Cathy Grossu said she and her daughter were texting "all day long," including during the flight.
"Then she said something like 'We're in trouble, emergency landing.' And I texted back, 'What's wrong with the plane?'" Grossu told CBS News. "Then the next thing was (the SOS alert) that you get from your automatic Apple phones when you have an accident or something. And so I knew that something was wrong." cbsn.ws/4aXuJbZ
