We are aware of differing figures circulating publicly regarding the amount frozen, including references to $1.8 billion.
For clarity, the current verified total frozen is $2.54 billion. This figure may continue to increase as our teams work closely with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace and freeze additional assets.
We will only share confirmed figures and will provide further updates as more verified information becomes available.

No one went to prison.
No home confinement. No DPAs.
No one was even charged.
Water under the bridge. Onwards!
🇺🇸 BREAKING: Bank of America has been fined $1.2 BILLION by the US government.
The bank failed to flag over $5 BILLION in suspicious transactions, the Treasury says.
The missed transactions were linked to suspected Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance around the southern US border.
The Treasury called the bank’s money laundering and sanctions failures “egregious and continued.”
The penalty includes a $750 MILLION fine from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, per the FT.

This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

I will literally remove every single Google device from my life if you change Lake Ontario @googlemaps

Fun fact. Lake Ontario was actually named before Canada became a country. It was named by people living in the current United States. Ontario, the province, was named after the lake. Ontario is the name of a tribe of indigenous Americans living in the great lakes region. Many of the people in the Ontario tribes came from Ohio, the state I live in.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Lake Ontario is and will always be Lake Ontario, and no executive order will change that. It doesn't belong to President Donald Trump to rename on a whim.
Our two countries have real trade issues that impact our people. Instead of responding to stunts and distractions, Canadians must stay focused on what we can control: making our economy strong and affordable at home and using our leverage to fight tariffs abroad.
