DIDNT SEE THIS COMING (PUN INTENDED)

Backpage.com CEO pleads guilty to conspiracy and money laundering

In response, Ferrer admitted that he worked with his co-conspirators to find ways to fool credit card companies into believing that Backpage-associated charges were being incurred on different websites, to route Backpage-related payments and proceeds through bank accounts held in the name of seemingly unconnected entities, and to use cryptocurrency-processing companies for similar purposes.

STUDY SHOWS CONSUMER DNA/ANCESTRY SITES ARE PRETTY MUCH A SCAM

A new study has found that direct-to-consumer genetic tests, like those marketed by 23andMe, Ancestry.com, Family Tree DNA, and MyHeritage, can be used to obtain innacurate results.

Lost in interpretation: Scientists at Ambry Genetics, a diagnostics company that also interprets data from consumer DNA tests, looked at this raw genotyping data from 49 people. They found that 40 percent of the variants noted in the raw data were false positives—that is, they indicated that a particular genetic variant was present when it wasn’t. Most of the false-positive calls were of cancer-linked genes. In eight instances, third-party interpretation services misunderstood the variants present.

PINKY SWEAR:. US GOV WANTS YOUR DNA FOR SCIENCE. "YOU CAN TRUST US. WE WOULD NEVER USE IT FOR ANYTHING DEVIOUS. WE PROMISE. PRETTY PLEASE?"

For now, participants must be at least 18. Later, the study will open to children, too.

"Pssssst. We aren't going to tell you we have been collecting it from every US birth in our hospitals since 1987. We need you to waive your rights."
