Former DEA Agent Illustrates Usefulness Of Blockchain While Investigating Criminal Activity

The eighth installment of CoinGeek Conference recently held in New York on October 5 to 7, 2021 has brought to the attention of audiences worldwide the importance of blockchain forensic tools in promoting regulatory compliance and preventing virtual asset providers from being involved with dirty money.

Movie Review: ‘Halloween Kills’ But That’s About It

Movie Review: ‘Halloween Kills’ But That’s About It

Halloween Kills has just premiered exclusively on Peacock. Those who aren’t subscribers will have to sign up for the service at the cost of $4.99 a month which isn’t bad. It’s cheaper than a rental or a ticket to theaters. WARNING SOME SPOILERS The last we saw the Strode women in Halloween, they had trapped Michael in Laurie’s basement and set the house on fire. But in true Myers fashion, “the shape” found his way out as firefighters converged on the house which was completely engulfed in flames. Laurie has survived Michael’s attack and is in the hospital when all hell breaks loose as crowds of residents gather chanting “Evil dies tonight!” led by Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall) who survived Michael as a boy. We actually see quite a few characters return from the franchise, only to quickly see them be killed off. The movie features more kills than any other installment of the franchise, but that doesn’t mean
