The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is accusing a Minnesota man of draining millions of dollars from the government’s coffers.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota says it’s charging Caesar Munir Wilson for orchestrating a multi-million dollar tax refund fraud scheme that ran from 2022 to 2023.

Authorities allege Wilson filed more than $90 million in tax refund claims and conspired with others to submit additional returns.

In total, prosecutors allege that the fraudulent claims shattered $350 million, with the U.S. Treasury Department shelling out over $19 million in undeserved tax refunds.

Wilson allegedly used the ill-gotten funds to buy a $2.6 million house in Prior Lake, invest in cryptocurrency and other ventures and cover his personal lifestyle.

Prosecutors also say Wilson advised a group of sovereign citizens, or individuals who believe they are not subject to government laws, regulations or tax obligations. He allegedly advised the sovereign citizens on matters of taxes and trusts and supplied them with forms and documents for tax filing.

Says United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen,

“Individuals who file false claims for tax refunds and who conspire with others to violate the laws of the United States must be held accountable for their criminal conduct.”

Wilson is being charged with conspiracy to file false claims for tax refunds, filing a false claim for a tax refund, money laundering and bank fraud.

He is currently out on bail pending further proceedings.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
