3. Nigeria Investigates Organ-Harvesting Ring After Discovering Mutilated Corpses: The horror is an especially grim example of Nigeria’s kidnapping epidemic, in which every sort of malevolent group — from Islamic State jihadis to huge bandit gangs and small groups of petty criminals — kidnaps vulnerable people. Over a hundred bodies were found at the “organ-harvesting slaughterhouse.” Both the hotel and mortuary were sealed by police while forensic teams examined the scene. (Breitbart)

(Decrypt) (AC-This crew built a 'Oceans 11' style system to go after known crypto holders, but didn't have the same genius of movie crew to not stay out of jail. It certainly worked though.)
