Couple embezzled $5 million from Southern California company, police say
LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – A previously married Orange County couple was arrested over the weekend for embezzling nearly $5 million from a local company, authorities said.
In an investigation that began three years ago, according to officials at the Irvine Police Department, 41-year-old Gurpreet Kaur Lakhiani, a company controller, and her then husband, 40-year-old Deepak Lakhiani, stole millions of dollars from an Irvine company.
The couple reportedly embezzled the funds between 2012 and 2021 and is suspected of using the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, using the money to buy luxury vehicles, jewelry real estate and travel.
“The loss was so significant that the business had to close, leaving many people unemployed,” Irvine police said.

The pair were taken into custody and booked at the Orange County Jail on $4.4 million warrants for charges that included embezzlement, grand theft, money laundering and receiving stolen property.
Investigators did not provide any details on how the couple stole the funds, nor did they name the former company that fell victim to the theft.

Grammys Audience Erupts Over Alicia Keys’ Apparent Slam Of Donald Trump Move
Alicia Keys appeared to call out President Donald Trump’s efforts to nix diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as she accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2025 Grammys ceremony on Sunday.
“DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift,” the musician said at one point during her acceptance speech, prompting applause from the audience.
“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” urged Keys.
“We’ve seen on this stage, talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat — it’s a gift,” she said.
“The more voices, the more powerful the sound,” Keys added. “When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix and as you see tonight, music is the unstoppable language that connects us all, it’s so beautiful.”
Keys did not mention by name Trump, who in recent days has drawn fierce blowback for trying to blame DEI for last week’s deadly American Airlines plane crash in Washington, D.C.
But the singer-songwriter has previously criticized the returned president and even used her performance at the 2020 awards to call for his removal from office.

Uh, then WHY is this board so LAGGY?
No doubt.
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.
Among those granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton’s help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm’s corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.
Wednesday evening, Clinton said the AP had only “looked at a small portion of my time” as secretary of state and had drawn the conclusion that her meetings with Nobel laureates — such as Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel — were connected to the foundation rather than their work as global leaders.
“That is absurd,” she told CNN. She described the story as “all smoke, no fire.”
The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former president Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009. But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton. Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors.
The AP’s findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton Foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.
The 154 did not include U.S. federal employees or foreign government representatives. Clinton met with representatives of at least 16 foreign governments that donated as much as $170 million to the Clinton charity, but they were not included in AP’s calculations because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties.
Clinton’s campaign said the AP analysis was flawed because it did not include in its calculations meetings with foreign diplomats or U.S. government officials, and the meetings AP examined covered only the first half of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. AP has sought for years a complete set of Clinton’s detailed schedules covering her time in office, which she could have voluntarily released but did not. The AP sued the State Department in federal court to obtain the schedules it has received so far.
“Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to hold public office,” Trump said at a rally Tuesday night in Austin, Texas.“It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins.It is now abundantly clear that the Clintons set up a business to profit from public office

Former Federal Reserve adviser indicted and arrested for alleged espionage in dealings with China
Federal authorities have arrested a former Federal Reserve senior adviser for allegedly giving inside economic information to China.
A grand jury indictment accuses John Harold Rogers, 63, of Vienna, Virginia, of stealing Federal Reserve trade secrets and selling them to Chinese intelligence officials for at least $450,000 by posing as a university professor in China. He is also accused of lying to Federal Reserve investigators and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau officials.
The Department of Justice announced Rogers' indictment and arrest on Friday, the same day he made his first appearance before a Washington court. Rogers is being held without bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, according to court records.
Jonathan Gitlen, an attorney for Rogers, said via email Saturday that “Dr. Rogers denies the allegations as set forth in the indictment.” Rogers will say more “at a later date,” Gitlen said.
Assistant Director Kevin Vorndran of the FBI Counterintelligence Division said in a statement that Rogers “betrayed his country while employed at the Federal Reserve by providing restricted U.S. financial and economic information to Chinese government intelligence officers.” The information, Vorndran continued, “could allow adversaries to illegally gain a strategic economic advantage at the expense of the U.S.”
The Justice Department said the information “could allow China to manipulate the U.S. market” in a manner similar to insider trading. The department noted that China, as of October 2024, held about $816 billion in U.S. foreign debt and that Chinese financial players could benefit from inside knowledge of U.S. economic policy, such as advance notice of federal funds rate changes, when making decisions about buying and selling U.S. debt instruments.
Rogers, a U.S. citizen with a doctorate in economics, worked for the Federal Reserve from 2010 until 2021, according to the indictment.
According to the indictment, Rogers, a U.S. citizen with a Ph.D. in economics, worked as a Senior Adviser in FRB’s Division of International Finance of the FRB from 2010 until 2021, where he would have had access to a range of classified information.
Prosecutors allege that Rogers and two Chinese co-conspirators began communicating as early as 2013. The indictment asserts that Rogers later forwarded protected information to his personal email or made print copies to pass along to his co-conspirators. The cache allegedly included proprietary economic data and analysis, briefing books written for Federal Reserve governors, details of Federal Open Market Committee deliberations and future announcements, and accounts of conversations about tariffs targeted at China, according to the indictment.
Rogers is accused of meeting co-conspirators in China for multiple visits, under the guise of him being an academic instructor teaching them as students. The indictment alleges that in 2023, Rogers received $450,000 as a part-time professor at a Chinese university

CBS agrees to hand over '60 Minutes' Harris interview transcripts to FCC
CBS says it will turn over an unedited transcript of its October interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, part of President Donald Trump's ongoing fight with the network over how it handled a story about his opponent.
Trump sued CBS for $10 billion over the “60 Minutes” interview, claiming it was deceptively edited to make Harris look good. Published reports said CBS' parent company, Paramount, has been talking to Trump's lawyers about a settlement.
The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump's appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.
The case, particularly a potential settlement, is being closely watched by advocates for press freedom and by journalists within CBS, whose lawyers called Trump's lawsuit “completely without merit” and promised to vigorously fight it after it was filed.
The Harris interview initially drew attention because CBS News showed Harris giving completely different responses to a question posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker in clips that were aired on “Face the Nation” on Oct. 6 and the next night on “60 Minutes.” The network said each clip came from a lengthy response by Harris to Whitaker's question, but they were edited to fit time constraints on both broadcasts.
In his lawsuit, filed in Texas on Nov. 1, Trump charged it was deceptive editing designed to benefit Harris and constituted “partisan and unlawful acts of voter interference.”
Trump, who turned down a request to be interviewed by “60 Minutes” during the campaign, has continued his fight despite winning the election less than a week after the lawsuit was filed.
The network has not commented on talks about a potential settlement, reported by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Paramount executives are seeking Trump administration approval of a sale of the company to another entertainment firm, Skydance.
ABC News in December settled a defamation lawsuit by Trump over statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos, agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump's presidential library rather than engage in a public fight. Meta has reportedly paid $25 million to settle Trump's lawsuit against the company over its decision to suspend his social media accounts following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
