Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The official trailer for the new Harry Potter movie is now out. It looks really god, they haven’t given too much of the plot away in the trailer (well most of us know what happens but there are others who haven’t read the book) and they’ve added a few scenes into the movie that weren’t in the book. Anyways I’ve got a 480p version of the trailer here. Enjoy!
Asia’s Wildlife Trade
An exposé of the world’s most notorious wildlife dealer, his special government friend, and his ambitious new plan by Bryan Christy
For nearly two years Anson fought extradition to the U.S., but eventually he signed plea agreements, admitting to crimes carrying a maximum penalty of 250 years in prison and a $12.5-million fine. On June 7, 2001, U.S. District Judge Martin J. Jenkins sentenced him to 71 months in U.S. federal prison (with credit for 34 months served), fined him $60,000, and banned him from selling animals to anyone in the U.S. for three years after his prison release.
If the judge thought a ban on Anson Wong would work, he was mistaken. Shortly after his arrest, Anson’s wife and business partner, Cheah Bing Shee, established a new company, CBS Wildlife, which exported wildlife to the U.S. while Anson was in prison. His main company, Sungai Rusa Wildlife, continued to ship despite the ban. Now that he’s free, Anson has launched a new wildlife venture, a zoo that promises to be his most audacious enterprise yet.
