Alleged BSP Circular that Served as Evidence Against PNoy et.al in the Thailand Gold Case

Former President Benigno Aquino III, former Interior Sec. Mar Roxas, Sen. De Lima and four more government officials faced graft and plunder charges after they allegedly transfer gold bars worth $141-Billion to Thailand. The case filed is based on the BSP circular signed by the government officials.


Aside from Pres. PNoy, Mar Roxas and De Lima, the four more officials involved were Sen. Franklin Drilon, former Finance Sec. Cesar Purisima, Treasury Department Chief Dealer Lorelei Fernandez and Bangko Sentral Governor Amando Tetangco Jr.

The case filed was based on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Circular about the 3,500 metric tons of gold that was transferred to the Bank of Thailand last December 2014 under the administration of Pres. PNoy Aquino.

The complainant Atty. Fernando Perito and former BSP Examiner Rogelio Cantoria claimed that the BSP circular they used as basis in the case against PNoy et.al came from the national government through the Freedom of Information Policy.

The said documents or the circular went viral last June 2016 on social media after it was shared by a certain Rolando Polasan.

The circular was allegedly signed by BSP Government Tetangco, Sen. Franklin Drilon, former Department of Justice Secretary Leila De Lima, former Finance Sec. Cesar Purisima and Treasury Dept. Chief dealer Lorelei Fernandez.

Here's the Viral BSP Circular:

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
