Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who has famously been in imprisoned for her involvement in a sex trafficking ring with Jeffery Epstein, caused a prison lockdown because she lost her sweater. Sources say hundreds of inmates were confined to their dorms while staff searched for her clothes. Maxwell claimed that her prison ID and important paperwork were located in the sweater’s pockets, prompting officials to conduct a search for her. The lockdown lasted almost five hours before an inmate came forward saying she had picked it up with intentions of returning it. Prison lockdowns are usually reserved for fights, medical emergency’s, and other sensitive situations. Multiple inside sources have alleged that Ghislaine receives special treatment from prison officials. The Bureau of Prisons had denied that anyone receives special treatment, but declines to talk about Maxwell’s situation specifically.

Boner Candidate #3: NO IT’S NOT OKAY TO BET ON THAT
The Eaton Fires and Palisades Fires in Altadena, California, together destroyed over 16,000 structures and killed 31 people. While thousands of victims lost their homes and raced to evacuate safely, others saw financial opportunity in their suffering. Polymarket, the worlds largest prediction gambling platform, made bets on fires; how they would grow, how long they would last and how much they would destroy. Polymarket “markets team,” has been creating questions related to the wildfires in Southern California. People have spent $1.2 million betting on these questions. As prediction markets boom and a new wildfire season begins, fire survivors, and really anyone with a brain, is worried that betting will encourage dangerous behavior. One major concern is arson. Making a bet would give someone incentive to start a fire, or help one grow. “Systems that tie financial gain to wildfire outcomes risk encouraging misuse…and are not compatible with our mission,” the U.S. Forest Service said. Many also want to acknowledge the unethical nature of the bets, “when you start gambling on somebody’s potential death or harm, you’re really diminishing the value that you’re placing on human life,” a wild fire survivor said.
