(Reuters) – Jailed former billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried considered paying former U.S. President Donald Trump to not run for re-election in 2020, according to an excerpt of a forthcoming book published on Sunday. In the excerpt published in the Washington Post, Michael Lewis, the author of 'Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon', said Bankman-Fried at the time was planning to give $15 million to $30 million to Republican Senator Mitch McConnell to defeat the 'Trumpier' candidates in the Senate races.

MANILA, Philippines — Senate Minority Leader Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel has again cautioned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. against signing the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) bill. This is because there is a big chance that the measure is unconstitutional, Pimentel said. On Thursday, the Senate minority leader listed the following reasons why Marcos should veto the bill: 1. It is an ill-conceived law, we do not have surplus and windfall profits. 2. It is not timely, the world economy and geopolitical situation are bad.

ZURICH, Switzerland -More than $68 billion was withdrawn from Credit Suisse in the first three months of 2023, the bank said Monday in what are likely its final quarterly results before it is swallowed by rival UBS. Switzerland's long-time second largest bank saw 61.2 billion Swiss francs ($68.6 billion) withdrawn in the first quarter alone. At the same time, the bank saw its net profit swell to 12.4 billion francs, up from a significant loss a year earlier, after holders of high-risk Credit Suisse debt were wiped out in the emergency takeover deal.

ISELTWALD, Switzerland – 'It's a dream come true,' said Filipina tourist Isabel Palijon, staring in wonder at a wooden pier framed by the turquoise waters of a Swiss lake and the towering Alps behind. And she is not alone. Ever since the hugely popular South Korean series 'Crash Landing on You' aired a romantic scene shot on this very spot, the picturesque village of Iseltwald has been overrun by Asian tourists. The Netflix hit tells the unlikely story of a South Korean billionaire heiress who accidentally paraglides into the peninsula's demilitarized zone, crashing landing onto a chivalrous army officer serving North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
