Video of magnitude 7.6 earthquake that hit Papua New Guinea six days ago. Thank goodness there was no tsunami.

For anyone who has followed the Wirecard scandal, or for anyone who might be interested in learning about it, I highly recommend Skandal! Bringing Down Wirecard, a new documentary available on Netflix. It's really well done and well worth the watch.

The FT broke the story, so I've been reading about it for several years. The part I was not as familiar with was the connection with Russia.

Wel, if you are going to be doing some financial mischief, Moscow is the place. Basically unregulated, and very open to not only NOT asking questions, very open to cyber abusing.
But we know that.

The Pacific Plate borders PNG, Taiwan and Mexico. I guess if it shakes somewhere, it shakes everywhere.
