Tiffany Wood has been an active 'super user' seller on Poshmark since 2015, and her loyalty has truly paid off. According to Business Insider, Wood now has a $12,000 nest egg because she bought stock in the company's initial public offering.

Shares of Chinese shopping website Alibaba fell as much as 3% on Monday. The prolonged absence from the public view of its founder Jack Ma has raised eyebrows. According to Markets Insider, Ma has not been seen in public in more than two months. When he unexpectedly failed to show up, he was abruptly replaced as a judge on an African entrepreneurship TV show late last year. His companies Alibaba and Ant Group face increased regulatory pressure from the Chinese government. The crackdown coincides with Ma's remarks at a conference that Chinese financial regulators were an 'old people's club,' unable to keep up with technology.
Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of Alibaba and Ant Group hasn't been seen in public in over two months. At a Shanghai conference in late October, Ma called financial regulators an 'old people's club' ill-suited to oversee Chinese tech innovation. In response, Chinese regulators launched an antitrust investigation into Jack Ma's online shopping behemoth. The government also introduced new regulations that halted the IPO of Ma's Ant Group. But Business Insider reports Ma's disappearance isn't unique among prominent Chinese personalities who have tangled with the government. Retired real estate tycoon Ren Zhiqiang and former asset manager Xiao Jianhua, have also disappeared after facing criticism from Chinese regulators. And Meng Hongwei, the former head of the International Criminal Police Organization, disappeared in September 2018 during a trip to China from France.
COVID-19 restrictions tightened in China early this year, and that's led to a shortage of hideouts for criminals on the lam. CNN reports a fugitive who had been on the run for four years after allegedly stealing a corpse was running out of places to hide. Qiu Binhua was believed to have sold the body for a ritual, then fled to the western part of Inner Mongolia. There, officers had begun trying to contain the coronavirus by scanning QR codes of passers-by and setting up checkpoints. Without an ID card, police said Qui turned himself in, as he had no means of escape.
Igor Shepherd is the Readiness and Countermeasures Program Manager for Wyoming's State Health Department. And according to Business Insider, he voiced a rather unorthodox opinion at a nearly ninety-minute talk he gave on November 10th. In it, Shepherd described vaccines as biological weapons and a plot by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide. He made the comments at a November 10 event held by the Keep Colorado Free and Open group, which advocates for constitutional rights amid the pandemic. The plan of destruction right now is going at full speed. Igor Shepherd, Readiness and Countermeasures Program Manager State of Wyoming Shepherd's baseless claims undermine efforts to limit COVID-19's spread and distribute a vaccine. It also props up unscientific 'anti-vaxxer' claims. Johns Hopkins University reports there have been 278,996 US COVID-19 deaths and a 12.5% case rise in Wyoming this week. Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has called those who won't take the pandemic seriously 'knuckleheads.'
