MEXC Partners with The White Whale for Business Revamp

Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has enlisted the expertise of renowned crypto trader The White Whale to serve as an unpaid advisor. This collaboration comes following the resolution of a contentious dispute involving $3.15 million in frozen funds, according to CoinMarketCap.

**Dispute Resolution**

The dispute, which attracted significant public attention, was settled after MEXC’s Chief Strategy Officer, Cecilia Hsueh, issued a public apology and unfroze the funds. This resolution marked the end of a months-long standoff that had placed MEXC under scrutiny from the crypto community.

**The White Whale’s Advisory Role**

In a bid to restore trust and improve business practices, The White Whale offered to support MEXC as an unpaid advisor. This decision followed an in-depth video discussion with Hsueh, where the trader emphasized the importance of integrity and transparency within the crypto industry.

“If you truly want to fix what was broken, I’ll support you. I’ll make myself available as an unpaid advisor,” The White Whale stated on social media platform X, highlighting a strong commitment to aiding MEXC’s transformation.

**Community Response**

Reactions from the crypto community have been mixed. While some applaud The White Whale’s decision to assist MEXC in rebuilding its reputation, others remain skeptical about the exchange’s dedication to transparency and trustworthiness.

However, Hsueh’s acceptance of the advisory offer signals a potential shift towards improved governance and customer relations. This collaboration could mark a turning point for MEXC, as the involvement of a respected figure like The White Whale may help mend fences with the crypto community and enhance the exchange’s operational protocols.

Punjab Congress candidate Karanbir Singh Burj files nomination for bypolls

The Tarn Taran assembly seat fell vacant following the death of AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal in June. Ahead of the bypoll, Congress candidate Burj held a roadshow before filing his nomination papers.

Several senior leaders participated in the roadshow, including Congress general secretary in-charge of Punjab Bhupesh Baghel, Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa, and former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi.

Speaking on the occasion, Bhupesh Baghel called upon party workers to fight the election with full dedication and commitment. He emphasized the importance of this bypoll for both the Congress party and Punjab, expressing confidence that the party would win the election by an impressive margin.

Addressing party workers, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said the Tarn Taran bypoll would set the tone and direction for Punjab ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. He appealed to voters to choose their candidate wisely — someone who would stand by them round the clock.

Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa warned against the “return of dark days” in Punjab, when citizens did not feel safe and secure. He added that even today, safety remains a concern, particularly along the border belt.

Former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), stating that it had not only “betrayed” the people of Punjab but also let down its own workers. He pointed out that the AAP did not nominate a single person from the Dalit community, farmers, or poor families to the Rajya Sabha.

Important dates for the Tarn Taran bypoll are as follows:
– Last date for filing nominations: October 21
– Scrutiny of nomination papers: October 22
– Last date for withdrawal of candidature: October 24
– Counting of votes: November 14

US military kills six narcoterrorists in strike on vessel off Venezuela

The United States military carried out another strike on a vessel accused of drug trafficking off the coast of Venezuela, resulting in the deaths of six narcoterrorists on board, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday.

The president described the targeted vessel as being “affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization,” though he did not specify which group or provide supporting evidence for the claim. “Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.

“The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed.”

This marks at least the fifth such strike acknowledged by Washington, with the Pentagon having confirmed a similar operation earlier in October.

The recent incident is expected to heighten already strained relations between Washington and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who has reportedly been preparing to declare a state of emergency to safeguard his nation against potential U.S. military action. It may also intensify ongoing debate over the legality of the operations.

According to CNN, the administration has defended the series of strikes. In a letter addressed to Congress, the Pentagon noted that Trump had determined the United States is engaged in an “armed conflict” with the drug cartels designated as terrorist organizations, classifying their smugglers as “unlawful combatants.”

However, as CNN previously reported, skepticism persists even among conservative circles. In at least one earlier case, a vessel struck by U.S. forces had already begun to turn away before being hit, raising questions about whether it posed an imminent threat to the United States or its personnel.

During a White House event alongside Argentinian President Javier Milei on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent referenced the strikes while emphasizing the importance of international cooperation.

“We’re using our economic strength to create peace,” Bessent said. “It is much better to form an economic bridge with our allies, people who want to do the right thing, than have to shoot at Narco gun boats.”

Trump also released an unclassified video clip showing footage of the most recent strike.

Four shot dead during homecoming weekend in Mississippi town

Four people were killed in a shooting in the Mississippi Delta region following a high school football homecoming game, Mississippi state Sen. Derrick Simmons told The Associated Press. The incident occurred in the downtown area of the small town of Leland, Mississippi, where people had gathered after the game. Simmons, who represents the area, confirmed the information based on updates received from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement authorities involved in the investigation.

In addition to the four fatalities, four other victims were hospitalized in Greenville and later flown to a larger medical facility in the state capital, Jackson.

Authorities are currently seeking an 18-year-old man for questioning in connection with the shooting, according to a statement from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff has urged anyone with information to contact the local police chief or sheriff’s office.

The shooting took place on the school campus during the Heidelberg Oilers’ homecoming football game on Friday night. However, it remains unclear exactly when the gunfire occurred or how close it was to the stadium.

Sheriff White, who was at the scene investigating on Saturday, stated, “Right now we’ve still got a subject at large, but I can’t give specifics.” He added that more information may be released in the coming days.

Leland is a small town of about 640 residents, located approximately 85 miles (137 kilometers) southeast of Jackson, the state capital.

PIL filed in Supreme Court seeks inquiry into toxic cough syrup deaths of 14

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking an inquiry and systemic reforms in drug safety mechanisms. This comes in the wake of the deaths of 14 children in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, allegedly due to the consumption of toxic cough syrups.

The PIL, filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari, requests a court-monitored probe into the incidents. It also urges the constitution of a National Judicial Commission or an Expert Committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to oversee the matter.

Additionally, the plea seeks the transfer of all pending FIRs and investigations related to the deaths of children across various states to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The plea further urges the court to direct the Central government to constitute a national-level judicial or expert body to identify regulatory failures that allowed the distribution of substandard medicines. It also calls for mandatory toxicological testing of all suspected products before they are allowed for further sale.

Mount Everest blizzard leaves over 200 climbers stranded, 350 rescued

Over 200 hikers have been stranded after a blizzard struck the Tibetan slopes of Mount Everest, while around 350 others were safely escorted by villagers and rescue teams.

The conditions for those trapped at the campsites worsened on Sunday as snowfall continued unabated since Friday. Hundreds of local villagers and rescue personnel rushed essential supplies to the affected area.

According to a state-run CCTV report quoted by the BBC on Monday, more than 200 hikers remain trapped in the blizzard. Rescue teams have successfully guided approximately 350 climbers to safety.

Earlier reports indicated that over 1,000 holiday hikers were stranded in the slopes of Mount Everest, located in Karma Valley on the Chinese side of the mountain. Videos and eyewitness accounts shared on social media by the stranded climbers described thunder, strong winds, and continuous snowfall burying the tracks leading to the region on Sunday.

Chinese mainstream media has yet to provide detailed coverage of the blizzard, and only limited information is currently available. It is important to note that China is in the midst of an eight-day holiday starting October 1 to celebrate National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mount Everest, known as Mt. Qomolangma in China, is the world’s highest peak, standing at over 8,849 meters.

In a related weather event, Typhoon Matmo, the 21st named storm of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season, made landfall along the eastern coast of Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City in southern China’s Guangdong Province on Sunday.

Local governments evacuated approximately 347,000 people from Guangdong and Hainan provinces in anticipation of the typhoon, which brought maximum wind speeds of 151 km/h.

Enzyme-based kidney conversion allows transplant from type A to universal type O

For the first time, a team from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, successfully performed a human kidney transplant using an organ converted from blood type A to the universal blood type O. This groundbreaking procedure relies on UBC’s special enzymes as a key tool to reduce organ rejection.

Patients with blood type O can only receive type-O organs, but type-O kidneys are often transplanted into recipients of other blood types due to their universal compatibility. The researchers’ initial goal was to create universal donor blood by removing the sugars that determine blood type. However, they discovered that these same sugars, known as antigens, also cover the blood vessels within organs.

In this pioneering case, an enzyme-converted kidney was transplanted into a brain-dead recipient. The organ initially functioned well, but by the third day, a mild immune reaction was observed—significantly less severe than the typical rejection response.

This breakthrough highlights the potential of enzyme conversion to expand the pool of compatible organs and reduce rejection in transplant patients.
