Bitcoin Arrest

A top figure in the selling of bitcoins has been arrested. Bitcoins are used for buying illegal products online through underground websites like "The Silk Road." The Silk Road made news earlier in 2013 for being shut down. Since then it has recovered fully and is back in action. Since regular money is too easy for police to track, they created the bitcoin, which is almost impossible to track. The top company who sells bitcoins has been booming since the return of the Silk Road. The vice president of this company was arrested because the FBI found him guilty of selling illegal bitcoins.

Man attempts poisoning Obama

A Mississippi man has been arrested for attempting to poison the President. The 41 year old man sent letters to the president contain ricin, a toxic protein that can easily kill a human with extremely small doses. He was hoping that Obama himself would open the letter, and that some ricin would stick to his fingers, which he would possibly consume. Luckily the White House caught these letters before they reached the president, potentially saving Obama's life. The man, who pleaded guilty on Friday, will be sentenced in 60 days.

Old Antarctica Adventure

Antarctica has always been a very desolate place. Adventurers have always tried to investigate the foreign land but it's often too cold to do much. Well they just recovered some old films from a hut they recently found. The films are from the very first expedition, in which the adventurers all died. They must have stowed away the films before they died. This is a very big find for scientists who might be able to figure out where the bodies might be.
