"An Omaha woman got a surprise visitor when she found an opossum sprawled out on her porch couch—panting, satisfied, and covered in chocolate after devouring an entire Costco tuxedo chocolate mousse cake. Dubbed the “Cake Bandit,” the opossum was admitted to Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, where she’s recovering not just from her indulgence but also from lead toxicity, a condition that may have gone unnoticed without her viral cake heist.
Social media users are rallying behind the furry food thief, with comments like, “We’ve all been there, girl.” Meanwhile, Nebraska Wildlife Rehab is selling “Cake Bandit” T-shirts, turning the scandal into a fundraiser to support native wildlife.
The opossum is expected to make a full recovery and will be released back into the wild by late March or early April—hopefully with a newfound taste for something less decadent.

"We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress.
