Buying one's own shares isn't #cleveraccounting but outright #fraud or #embezzlement and instead of arresting those who do this they've basically 'legalised' the crime. Just like they do with #taxEvasion ...
massive leak from one of the world’s biggest private banks, Credit Suisse, has exposed the hidden wealth of clients involved in torture, drug trafficking, money laundering, corruption and other serious crimes.
They include a human trafficker in the Philippines, a Hong Kong stock exchange boss jailed for bribery, a billionaire who ordered the murder of his Lebanese pop star girlfriend and executives who looted Venezuela’s state oil company, as well as corrupt politicians from Egypt to Ukraine.
One Vatican-owned account in the data was used to spend €350m (£290m) in an allegedly fraudulent investment in London property that is at the centre of an ongoing criminal trial of several defendants, including a cardinal.
Yet another important leak from The Guardian.

About 500 e-commerce websites were recently found to be compromised by hackers who installed a credit card skimmer that surreptitiously stole sensitive data when visitors attempted to make a purchase.
“The Natural Fresh skimmer shows a fake payment popup, defeating the security of a (PCI compliant) hosted payment form,” firm researchers wrote on Twitter. “Payments are sent to https://naturalfreshmall\[.\]com/payment/Payment.php.”
If your credit card company provides single use, or pausable, virtual cards, it is well worth the effort to make use of those. You can use a virtual card once, and then delete it. This is especially necessary on foreign, or never before used, sites. For regular payments, I’ve set up a separate virtual card with a tight monthly limit.
